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.

- 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
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
