France duo Jacques Labre and Thibault Tricole have made even more history by reaching the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 World Cup of Darts in the opening match of the afternoon session in Frankfurt.
A team that were called upon to be in the tournament by many with the emergence of Tricole and also now Labre being a Tour Card holder, they have proved their worth.
The latest win seeing them defeat South Africa to reach the Quarter-Finals 8-4 as the run of Devon Petersen and Vernon Bouwers now comes to an end.
It was a strong start for the duo as they surged into a 2-0 lead in the race to eight with an early break.
It was nearly a double break but Petersen staved that off on double four at 2-1 down.
But Tricole struck again with a 100 checkout to make it 4-2 to go halfway from the win. Bouwers again nearly gifted a double break but Petersen kept it at 4-3.
But again Tricole sealed daylight at 5-3 on double 19. Two treble visits from Labre saw them head towards two away at 6-3.
Labre initially missed match darts but they returned to seal it 8-4.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
