Set 2 was much closer as Penhall began to show some opposition for Cullen. With the set going all the way to a deciding leg, Cullen kicked into gear once again, firing six perfect darts before cleaning up in 14 darts in double 4.
Beginning set 3 with a break of throw, Cullen started to push towards the finish line. Holding throw in the following leg, the former Masters champion and Premier League finalist moved to one leg away from the third round. With Cullen waiting on 24 for the match, Penhall clipped in a 101 checkout to prolong the encounter but not for much longer as Cullen sealed the win in the following leg.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- 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
