The first two games of round one at the Auckland Darts Masters are complete with two PDC representatives in the form of Simon Whitlock and Rob Cross surviving serious scares against their qualifier opponents.
Whitlock started off as he returned down under and survived match darts against Ben Robb who looked good on his TV debut.
Robb of course took the place of Corey Cadby and used that to it’s full pushing ‘The Wizard’ to his limit.
Cross on the other hand had moments of brilliance but kicked off 180 before getting two more darts in the nine dart combo. This broke the throw of Hurring when he was one away.
This allowed ‘Voltage’ to squeeze over the line in a first game also for Hurring on TV. It shows the standard in Australia/New Zealand is improving all the time.

- 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
