John Hurring enjoyed a spectacular weekend at the DPNZ ProTour in Christchurch, securing back-to-back titles on March 22 and 23. The 40-year-old New Zealander, a three-time World Series of Darts qualifier, claimed both Event 3 and Event 4, defeating Ben Robb in both finals.
Hurring’s campaign in Event 3 saw him navigate past Levi Koroheke, Jack Sheppard, Jaymie Hilton-Jones, and Kayden Milne in the knockout stages. In the final, he edged out Ben Robb 7-6 in a thrilling contest.
The match began on a challenging note for Hurring, as he quickly found himself 3-1 down. However, he fought back impressively, stringing together three consecutive legs before sealing victory in a decisive final leg.
Double Delight for Hurring in Event 4
Hurring continued his dominance in Event 4, once again producing a flawless run. This time, he overcame Kerrin Robinson, Marc Cossey, Taylor Teinaki, and Haunui Hira to book his place in the final—where he once again faced Ben Robb.
Unlike their previous encounter, Hurring started strongly, surging to a commanding 5-1 lead. Robb mounted a comeback but ultimately fell short, as Hurring closed out a 7-5 victory, securing his second title of the weekend.
Despite reaching two consecutive finals, Robb had to settle for runner-up on both occasions. Meanwhile, Jonny Tata impressed with back-to-back semifinal appearances, while Mark Cleaver, the winner of the first two 2025 DPNZ ProTour events, reached the quarterfinals in both tournaments.
The DPNZ ProTour continues next month with the fifth and sixth events of the season, scheduled for April 26 and 27 in Nelson.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
