It's not coming home. Four-time World Cup of Darts winner England is out of the tournament after losing to Ireland, who are through to the quarter-finals for the very first time.
Steve Lennon made a perfect start for Ireland as he defeated Michael Smith 4-3. 'The Shamrock' had a bit of luck in the decider, as Smith had two bounce outs when he had 82 left. As a result 'Bullyboy' only got one match-dart, which he missed on tops. Lennon took out 15 in two darts and secured the first point.
William O'Connor claimed the win as he averaged a stunning 115.1 against world number two Rob Cross. He kicked off with 12- and 14-dart legs, before Cross reduced the deficit with a 81 finish. 'The Magpie' moved 3-1 up as he pinned double 16, before he threw another 12-dart leg to seal a sensational win.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
