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.

- 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
