The second game of the night saw a polar opposite to the first match with two men in form in the form of 'The Rockstar' Joe Cullen and the 'Demolition Man' Darren Webster. It was Joe Cullen who prevailed despite him being a set down in the early goings.
Webster started very well quickly taking a 2-0 lead in the first set to almost leave Joe Cullen in the dust and with Cullen missing two darts at D10, Webster took out 68 to win the first set 3-0.
Cullen finally got off the mark in the match finishing 60 to go 1-0 ahead in set two. Webster pounced on more missed doubles though from Cullen hitting a 100 checkout to break straight back at 1-1.
Webster went one away with Cullen once again missing doubles and the Demolition Man hit D5. Webster missed some doubles himself missing one mach dart at D18 fora 147 checkout and Cullen hit D16 to make it 2-2 and keep himself in it.
Cullen edged ahead and took his 1st winning 3-2 and he continued his fightback in a leg that included 180's from both men to lead in the 3rd set. Webster came back to hit tops to make it 1-1 in the decider but Cullen found himself on the verge of victory at 2-1 up. Both men hit 180's and Webster sent it to a decider at 2-2. It was the Rockstar though that came through to recover from a set down.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
