The potential was there for a Beau Greaves v Fallon Sherrock Last 16 tie at the Grand Slam of Darts, but the former in particular went agonisingly close to reaching the latter stages for the first time missing a match dart against Damon Heta.
Greaves was facing off against Heta in a winner takes all clash in which she nearly had the chance to go 4-2 up barring a 164 checkout from Heta who sent it all the way and kept with the Women's World Matchplay champion and as she tightened up in the decider, 'The Heat' raised the pressure with some superb fast throwing hitting trebles to leave 105 which he pinned for the win after 'Beau N Arrow' had missed a match dart in the previous leg.

She opened up with a terrific 101 checkout and held on double eight after missing 170 for a 2-1 lead. She hit 99 for 3-1 and a 12-darter and nearly went one away had it not been for a terrific 164 from Heta.
He followed up with a 130 checkout to make it 3-3 as Greaves looked to hold to go one away. She did so on double eight from a 25 checkout. Aiming to get it done there and then, she was first to a finish at 126. But she couldn't get a shot and Heta left 50 breathing down her neck. He missed two darts to send it all the way but Greaves missed a match dart. Heta snatched his reprieve and made it 4-4. He hit 105 after a tense deciding leg to claim the win.
While Rob Cross showed his class as Fallon Sherrock was not able to dare to dream like previously at the Grand Slam of Darts, with 'Voltage' putting the spark out of the charge of the Queen of the Palace.
It was a 5-2 win for Cross who had to deal with jeering as expected, but he took it in his stride in a professional display. He hit a 98 average with 42% on the outer ring and a high checkout of 111.
In doing so, Cross also maintains his perfect record of reaching the knockout stage in Wolverhampton. Now he will take on Damon Heta in the Last 16.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
