Smith's missed darts at doubles started to creep in and despite hitting seven perfect darts, he missed nine at double allowing Humphries to move 5-2 ahead.
Humphries continued to build the lead going 7-4 up from there with a 72 checkout to break. It was another for Humphries as he went 8-5 up after five missed darts at doubles.
But Smith asked the question with back to back legs and went 9-8 behind but Humphries sealed the win in the end to avert a last leg decider.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
