HUGHES WINS! WOW! What a deciding leg of darts that was as Jamie Hughes fires in an 11-dart break to snatch a 6-5 victory over Dave Chisnall! 📺Up next 👉 Ratajski v West
Hughes and West come through deciding leg thrillers to begin marathon opening session at European Championship

The opening session of the European Championship which sees 16 First Round ties has began with both of the ties so far going the maximum number of legs with Jamie Hughes and Steve West through.
Hughes to start proceedings snatched his tie against Dave Chisnall hitting back-to-back 180's and an 81 checkout which was an 11-darter to defeat the St Helens ace who many predicted could go on a run this weekend due to his current form. But it is the Tipton ace who is through.
Another player to dispel one of the potential favourites was West who saw off Krzysztof Ratajski in an impressive display which once again went all the way. He hit five 180's and 60% on the doubles.
It was a tie though that could have gone either way with it going 11 legs and 11 holds with 'Simply' squeezing through to the second round.

- 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
