Brilliance from Boris as Krcmar dumps out Humphries, Cullen edges past Lukeman to end poor European Tour form

Luke Humphries will not make it a fifth European Tour title of the season after losing in the second round of the Hungarian Darts Trophy to Boris Krcmar on Saturday evening.
Krcmar sealed a 6-3 success over the number two seed which boosts his European Championship hopes with a superb 97 average and three 180's to boot from the Croatian ace.
No player could hold their throw in the early going but it was Humphries who hit double two to surge ahead at 3-1 only to be broken back at 3-3 after missing a shot at double 16 for 110 and Krcmar returned for 62.
He consolidated for the first time at 4-3 before breaking again with a superb 11-darter at 5-3 with a 100 checkout and after Humphries couldn't get a shot at 128, the clutch finishing saw him hit double four last dart in hand to claim it.
But Joe Cullen will be one of only a few seeded players so far into the next round after he saw off Martin Lukeman with some clutch doubling aiding 'The Rockstar' to snap a streak of multiple second round defeats in European Tour tournaments which potentially put his European Championship spot in danger.
Lukeman led to begin the tie going 4-3 up after breaking but a 72 checkout saw Cullen hold and get himself on parity before he surged to the finish hitting the bull for a 72 checkout followed by a clutch double 10 to claim it.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
