Humphries bids farewell to Grand Slam of Darts in style; Edhouse seals group win after easing past Chisnall test
PDC
Luke Humphries waved goodbye to the Grand Slam of Darts with a victory. In his final group match, the reigning world champion convincingly won 5-1 over Mickey Mansell.
Defending champion Humphries already knew after two of the three group matches that he was not going to make it through the pool. He surprisingly lost to both Rowby-John Rodriguez (5-3) and James Wade (5-3), making a final ranking in the top-2 of Group A no longer a possibility.

Mansell, on the other hand, was already assured of a spot in the last sixteen, but can still become group winner. He depends on the result between James Wade and Rowby-John Rodriguez later in the evening;
Humphries took a 3-1 lead through a 100 finish and a 15-darter, among other tricks. Then the world number one closed the match in fine fashion with an 11-darter and a 12-darter.
In Group D, Ritchie Edhouse crowned himself group winner for good. The brand new European Championship winner had already won over Ross Smith (5-1) and Connor Scutt (5-2) and add a 5-2 win over Dave Chisnall to that tally. 'Chizzy' has been eliminated from the Grand Slam of Darts after three defeats.

- The game needs Lewis,he's a top bloke. If they put wright in the premier league last year,they can give Lewis a tour card. He has nothing to proverick6710-12-2024
- What a shame about Sophie. She played brilliant darts all week and was always so calm and controlled. Maybe all those matches at the end just flattened her batteries. She will surely be champion in the future. Congratulations Beau on your 3rd World Championship, she admitted she was not 100% on form but still prevailed.richieburnettrocks09-12-2024
- No matter the competition she faces, when she's retired she can say "I was a multiple Women's World Champion" rather than "I repeatedly got knocked out in the 1st or 2nd round at the PDC World Champs." As a female why wouldn't she want to be a women's world champ? Darts players want to win surely? Her average on the women's tour was 84.86 which would've placed her in 152nd on the Pro Tour, she's wise enough to know that as it stands women still can't compete with the men apart from the odd win here and there mainly on the challenge tour. It's about time the PDC really invested in Women's darts and held a world champs for them.Baphomet08-12-2024
- She can play well but not sure at the moment to win a single game at Ally Pally, here she can take 25000 only playing left hand so easy cash for her bankroll. And Littler apart there isn't any 20 years old player to play PDC Worlds so she can widely take her time to step up.cycyP308-12-2024
