Ben Robb will be one of the leading lights of the Oceanic players as the New Zealand Darts Masters begins this morning with Gerwyn Price as an opening test.
Robb qualified as one of two final DPNZ Order of Merit qualifiers but despite doing it the hard way, he is buzzing to be back.
“I did it the hard way, but I was stoked to tell my family that I'd be back,” Robb told SENZ’s At The Oche.
“Once I won on the Saturday I knew I couldn’t be caught, and I felt emotional.
“I cannot wait to be back on the big stage in Hamilton.”
Back to 2018 and Robb saw off Simon Whitlock in Auckland on debut and described the feeling.
“I was the only Kiwi [to play on the second day]. The arena was sold out, and when I walked up I had goosebumps,” he added.
“The arena was shaking. I was the man of the night for the home crowd and it made it extra special.”

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
