Daryl Gurney battles past Ricky Evans and into last 16 at the World Darts Championship

Daryl Gurney has qualified for the last sixteen of the World Darts Championship at the expense of Ricky Evans. The Northern Irish dart player won 4-2 against 'Rapid Ricky', who had eliminated Nathan Aspinall a round earlier.
Again, a surprise was certainly a possibility. But with only 13 out of 42 on the doubles, you're not going to win matches. Evans did win the first set and even got ahead by a break in the second set, but could not grab a 2-0 lead.
The third set did go to Evans, before Gurney won the fourth set 3-2 with an 86 finish. Next, "Superchin" dealt a huge blow by throwing a 164 finish in Evans' set, taking a 3-2 lead. Gurney did not take that lead away and with an 84 finish in the sixth set, Gurney finished it off.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
