Damon Heta ensured Friday that Australian fans can still hope for another World Series title from their "local hero" after Heta managed to get through the first round of the Australian Darts Masters on Friday afternoon.
Australian number one Heta - runner-up in Wollongong last year - had a perfect start to the tournament. The former World Cup winner triumphed 6-0 against John Hurring in the first round.
“I’m absolutely stoked to get the win,” reflected Heta, who took out 113 and 116 in consecutive legs midway through the tie. “I wish I could do more, I really do. I would love to play my best darts in front of my home crowd.
Still, Heta says there is plenty of room for improvement. “I felt like I was trying too hard, but I’ll take the win any day of the week, and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”
In the quarterfinals of the Australian Darts Masters, Heta will take on Gerwyn Price in front of his own crowd. The Welshman won 6-2 over Brenton Lloyd in his first match.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
