Humphries produces 108 average in victory over Smith en route to PDC Home Tour Group 28 clean sweep

Luke Humphries is the latest player to take his second chance and claim a place in the next phase of PDC Home Tour action after producing a brilliant series.

Humphries began his night with a high quality 5-4 win over Andy Boulton which saw 'Cool Hand Luke' produce two 180's and 100.8 average in a match which saw nine holds of throw.

His performance of the night was still to come though as he saw off Michael Smith - the favourite to claim the group coming into proceedings in a dominant 5-2 win with a 108.5 average and four 180's.

He played back to back and it proved to be the winning tie for the World Youth Champion who saw off Mike van Duivenbode 5-3 with a 97.8 average to win it.
