Once again the Winmau World Masters has a surprising winner. The victory went to Adam Smith-Neale, who beat Glen Durrant in the final.
Smith-Neale completed a successful week, after beating Daniel Day, Mark McGeeney and Wayne Warren earlier at the Winmau World Masters. The 24-year-old will now make his debut at the BDO World Championship in January.
Durrant had a 4-3 lead in the final and had two darts to make it 5-3. However, Duzza missed on double 18 and double 9. His compatriot hit the double and made it 4-4 in an exciting contest. Smith-Neale took over the momentum from the two-time Lakeside champion and hit tops in the tenth set to claim the title.
Lisa Ashton won her second Winmau World Masters title after defeating Casey Gallagher 5-2 in the final.
All matches were streamed on Winmau TV.

- 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
