Wright wins comfortably against Henderson, will play Cullen next who comes from behind to defeat Dobey
NewsSunday, 25 March 2018 at 15:04
The European Darts Open 2018 third round is coming towards it's conclusion and Peter Wright is still involved. 'Snakebite' continues his return to form with a comfortable 6-2 victory over John Henderson with a 100.5 average and four 180's to his name.
Wright missed quite a few doubles something 'Snakebite' has admitted he has to put right but he said it was mainly as he has huge respect for the 'Highlander' so wasn't at his best.
He will next play Joe Cullen. The 'Rockstar' came from 5-3 behind to defeat Chris Dobey in a last leg decider with a 12 darter in one of the best games of the weekend so far.
On that evidence, Wright won't find it easy against Cullen who had to defeat an in-form Chris Dobey who played well.

- 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
