JOB DONE FOR DAMO! Damon Heta seals a 3-1 win over Martin Lukeman as the tenth seed marches on to the third round! 📺 bit.ly/24WCLive #WCDarts | R2
Job done for 10th seed Damon Heta, sees off Martin Lukeman to seal third round spot at Ally Pally

Damon Heta has carved out a good run on TV after not being able to produce his best reaching multiple Quarter-Finals and he is into the third round of the PDC World Darts Championship.
Heta took down Martin Lukeman with a 3-1 win with seven 180's as the tenth seed moves into the Last 32 with relative ease and it is job done for the Aussie ace.
After a poor first set from both, it was Heta who prevailed with the first blow. He hit a 68 checkout in the deciding leg to edge it with two 180's despite only averaging around 84.5.
A close first set soon turned into a nightmare for Lukeman as he looked likely to get steamrollered. Heta reeled off three straight legs with three 180's to his name as he went 2-0 up and went closer to the finishing line.
But 'Smash' gave himself a lifeline and looked to mount a comeback against Heta. Albeit that proved to be shortlived as Heta made light work of the final set to book his spot in the third round with three straight legs as Lukeman's comeback proved to be a mere consolation instead of a test for Heta. Making a name as usual for his walk-on, his darts too are doing the talking as he moves on.

- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
