Dirk van Duijvenbode was hugely disappointed after his missed chance at final victory at the European Darts Matchplay. 'Aubergenius' missed no less than four matchdarts.
In the end, Luke Humphries triumphed 8-7. Earlier this year, Van Duijvenbode also lost the final of the European Darts Open by the narrowest of margins. "It's not very positive because I choked again but at least I'm playing okay again," Van Duijvenbode said.
"My confidence isn't there, I'm not in my best form and I should have easily won - I missed so many doubles during the game as well.
"You miss so many match darts just because your head is such a storm - I couldn't calm it down but it is what it is," Van Duijvenbode concluded.

FIVE-STAR HUMPHRIES TRIUMPHS IN TRIER! 🏆 Luke Humphries retains his Interwetten European Darts Matchplay crown with a breathless 8-7 victory over Dirk van Duijvenbode! Heartbreak for the Dutchman, who missed four darts for a maiden European Tour title!
