Luke Humphries sealed his progression through to the Quarter-Finals of the Players Championship Finals after a superb display to defeat Krzysztof Ratajski in a closely fought battle for most of the tie.
Humphries averaged almost 105 in a 10-7 win as he continues to hunt down his maiden major as one of the favourites left in the draw and he showed why.
To start the tie, it was a commanding 4-1 lead for Humphries with Ratajski only getting his foothold in the tie through a 113 checkout at the break.
He followed on return with an 84 checkout on the bull for 4-2 and kept it close from there with Humphries hitting a 92 checkout for 5-2 but Ratajski then broke for 5-4 with a 129 checkout for a 12-darter.
He consolidated only for Humphires to hold next time around with a blockbuster 143 checkout for 6-5 up. They drew level and continued to exchange legs. But in the latter half of the tie produced 12-darter a 103 checkout to break and go one away at 9-7 sealing the deal on double 10.
While Jonny Clayton was sublime at times as he breezed past Ryan Joyce in a 10-3 win in the end as 'The Ferret' begins to motor in Minehead.
Sealing the deal with a 110 checkout, it was a true exhibition of combination finishing from Clayton producing an 84, 96 and 122 checkout in a row to go 6-1 up before a superb 90 checkout on the bull for an 8-2 lead concluding from there with that 110.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
