Steve Lennon shows class against Hughes and James Wade solid in win over Machin
NewsSunday, 12 November 2017 at 21:13
Steve Lennon showed his class with a 5-0 whitewash over Jamie Hughes in Group B to set up a potential showdown with Raymond van Barneveld tomorrow if he loses to Gerwyn Price. The Irishman continued to look good after yesterday's loss to the Iceman and averaged 100.2 with 55% on the doubles. It was an average of 74 for 'Yozza' who needs to go back to the drawing board after a poor weekend so far.
James Wade himself grabbed his first win and a big win at that defeating Australian Peter Machin to keep his hopes alive ahead of a game with Phil Taylor tomorrow. Wade did his hopes a massive amount of good winning 5-1 and punishing 1/8 on the doubles and despite not being at his best it will be good for 'the Machine' to get two points on the board after a horror show last night against Robbie Green.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
