Rob Cross finally has his first PDC ranking title of the year defeating Luke Humphries 8-3 in the final of Players Championship 24 to conclude the last ranking action until September.
Next up is the European Tour which ironically has been the thorn in Cross' side and in particular this year losing multiple finals to Humphries but finally, 'Voltage' has a final win over 'Cool Hand Luke' denying the in-form Newbury ace a sixth title of the season in the process.
Humphries took the opening leg on throw in the contest. Cross had darts to hold but spurned them and nearly handed Humphries a break but 108 was missed and ‘Voltage’ returned for double eight and 1-1.
It continued to go with throw with Humphries unable to take out 170 to break and Cross hit double 10 for 2-2.
But a 12-darter was pivotal for Cross as he went 3-2 up with a break which he consolidated after Humphries couldn’t pin a 122 checkout to break back.
After multiple holds, Cross kicked into gear again with a 123 checkout on the bull to make it 6-3 before holding with a 76 checkout after Humphries missed the bull for an 88 checkout and he was one away at 7-3.
From 121 on Humphries throw, Cross left 40 with Humphries missing 135 and last dart with Humphries waiting, he hit double 10 for the title.

- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- 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
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
- Hard to play slow players. Does your head in.medinabello23-12-2024

- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
