Mickey Mansell has qualified for the second round at the World Darts Championship at the expense of Xiaochen Zong (3-0). A showdown with his compatriot Brendan Dolan awaits at the last 64.
Zong did not manage to follow in the footsteps of fellow Asian Man Lok Leung, who surprisingly dealt with Gian van Veen earlier this tournament. However, the inexperienced Chinese did show off his skills with an average of 85.

Especially in the first set, Zong showed fine play. He opened the match with a 180 score and won his two own legs thanks to a 128 finish and a 13-darter. However, the set went 3-2 to his Northern Irish opponent, who threw a 14-darter in the fifth leg of set one.
Mansell then started the second set strongly with two 14-darters to take a 2-0 lead. Zong had two chances to halve the deficit, but missed his chances on tops. Mansell then took the second set 3-0 with a 56 finish. 'Clonoe Cyclone' then took the third set 3-1 to finally deal with his Chinese opponent.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
