The action has begun at the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts with Ryan Joyce up and running in Group D with victory over Stephen Bunting in their opener.
For Joyce though, he defied a 106.7 average from Bunting and survived a match dart in a closely fought affair which went all the way to a decider but it was 'Relentless' who took the points on the board.
Bunting led 2-1 at the start after the legs were initially shared but missed darts at double allowed Joyce back in to make it 3-2. But again, parity was there with 87 making it 3-3.
It was Joyce's time to miss match darts and Bunting took out 62 to send it all the way at 4-4. Before a 148 checkout was missed which allowed Joyce in for the win.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
