"I weren't bringing her to Milton Keynes for a honeymoon": Josh Rock juggles recent wedding with World Masters tilt
PDC
Josh Rock took down the in-form Jermaine Wattimena to reach the next round of the Winmau World Masters in what has been a hectic week for the Northern Irishman.
After being announced as the newest signing for Target Darts, he also got married to his long-time partner so has perhaps not had the most ideal preparation especially also in the honeymoon stakes.
He said he wasn't going to bring his girlfriend with him to Milton Keynes so has to go on honeymoon eventually when the tournament is over.

"Got married Tuesday and here today so I'm very happy with the performance and happy with the win," said Rock post match.
"I weren't bringing her to Milton Keynes for a honeymoon. That'll be a couple of years yet so I've been prepared for about a month after getting beat by Chris Dobey at the World's with the new equipment, practicing like mad and proved it today."
"I've had quite a lot of practice over the last couple of months. Obviously as soon as I got beat in the World's, I was happy enough with the performance against Chris Dobey and as soon as I got beat, I was back on the practice board. I was very excited to play tonight because I had the new equipment, a new shirt, new darts, flights and stems. I played well in the first set, second set I didn't really play too great. I got myself annoyed and got better after that."
"There is no reason I can't win a tournament, I proved it on the European Tour, ProTours. The small version of this but I'm really looking forward to this year."

- It was great to watch Beau play so well against the world number 1. She has a very calm, poised way of playing, and might have won that game had she not tired in the last stretch.

- Thornton beating Taylor just beats out Gilding beating MVG for me. Taylor was at his peak and played well in the final, Thornton on the day was simply the better player, no luck just outplayed Taylor.Mysstree24-02-2025
- Scrap the premier league,it's seems fine to let the top players get more money,60k for finishing bottom,yet pile more tournaments on players who would like a 60k season. Travelling and expenditure would make it difficult,yet spin out the same old rubbishrick6724-02-2025

- How is Burnett beating Howson a minor upset? Outside of the Seniors Howson has never won anything of note. Burnett versus Beaton is a tie to savour with two legends of yesteryear. Really hope Thornton stuffs Montgomery as well.Mysstree22-02-2025
- I don't honestly see the point of the premier league. All it does is alienate the players that aren't in it. The PDC calendar is full enough without this round and round pointless tournament.rick6721-02-2025
- The PDC need to decide if they are serious about the sport or if they just want to hold big fancy dress parties where no one actually cares about the darts. If a venue persistently can't control its crowds, the Premier League should go elsewhere the following year.StraightArrowNoBull20-02-2025
