Mickey Mansell hit the first nine-darter of the new Pro Tour season on Monday in Hildesheim. The “Clonoe Cyclone” threw a perfect leg during Players Championship 1.
Mansell’s nine-darter came in his second round against Carl Sneyd. The Northern Irishman opened the fifth leg with two 180s before sealing it with a 141 checkout.
It proved the highlight of an otherwise very poor match. Although Mansell won the tie 6-1, the 52-year-old could only manage an average of just 80.10.
Mansell’s perfect leg is the sixth of his PDC career. The former Grand Slam semi-finalist also produced his other five nine-darters at tournaments away from the TV stage.

- Sincere apologies to Richie, I forgot yesterday, slightly belated but Happy Birthday to the great man. Certainly looking good for 59richieburnettrocks08-02-2026
- He's a nice bloke. He's sort of portrayed as a villain,but he isn't. He plays with heart. Sure he's had issues with the crowd,who are mostly in drink,and some players,but which player hasn't? Littler will have to get used to booing,the crowds always get fed up with consistency. However,Humphries won't have that problem,he's a top bloke too,humble.rick6708-02-2026
- So vdv knows something we don't,but says it's not for him to say what's wrong with mvg? So why say anything at all? If mvg wants us to know anything,he will say. All vdv has done is caused unnecessary speculation,which I'm sure mvg doesn't either want or needrick6704-02-2026

- This dozy wooden air head doesn't have a clue about darts and is more concerned about what to wear. Ultimately, SKY continually make it the Lego head show.richieburnettrocks28-01-2026
- More Challenge Tour guys have made the final round than top 16 seeds - Tweddell, Waites and Hall Vs Ratajski and Nijman. Further evidence that we need to stop protecting the guys coasting in the 20s and 30s in the rankings. PS Respect to Beau on her first day, some great wins and averages and the hardest £1k she'll ever earn as a pro!Scoobedybop28-01-2026
- Mesmerising words from the greatest darts player and World Champion and Masters Champion. Richie is such an interesting character and so charismatic. Such a shame Richie can't remember every moment as it would be absolutely fascinating to hear these stories and share those memories. The complete opposite of today's charisma vacuums Richie Burnett absolutely rocks!!!richieburnettrocks27-01-2026
