Leonard Gates on his walk on came on to Commodores' track Too Hot Ta Trot and he was just that as he punished an out of sorts, Fallon Sherrock at the US Darts Masters with no Fairytale of New York set for the Queen of the Palace.
Gates sealed a comprehensive 6-2 win over Sherrock who averaged 71.4 and could not produce her prior brilliance at Madison Square Garden with 'Soldier' the first of the non PDC superstars to make it through and he will play either Peter Wright or good friend, Danny Baggish tomorrow.
To begin the tie, Sherrock was handed a break opportunity at 107 but drifted into treble five only to return with Gates spurning three darts to hold and ‘The Queen of the Palace’ hit double nine.
A 150 set up from 186 saw Gates leave 36 as he looked to break back and despite drifting into double one, he hit double 17 to make it 1-1.
Sherrock was well back and this allowed Gates some nervy darts to hold at 2-1. Sherrock’s darts continued to drift and Gates left double 16 which he pinned for a 3-1 lead.
A 70 checkout saw Gates hold as Sherrock continued to struggle at 4-1 down. She missed two darts to hold but returned as Gates busted and made it 4-2.
Gates left 70 to hold and go one away finally and hit double eight to make it 5-2. Sherrock left 68 with a 138 set up with Gates left on 82 just in case. She drifted into five going for double 20 and Gates went bull-double 16 to seal it.
While Gary Anderson despite playing darting roulette against Matt Campbell was impressive as he sealed a 6-3 win and he will face former protege, Michael Smith again tomorrow.
Campbell missed a break chance to open and Anderson punished him with a superb double double 105 checkout on double 20 to lead.
He continued to miss darts at double and he opened the door for Anderson to take a 2-0 lead with a break. The Canadian broke back but missed darts again from 25 to hold and Anderson picked his pocket with a 57 checkout to make it 3-1.
He then kicked off 180 as he looked to hold for a 4-1 lead. He missed double 10 for it from a 128 but hit double five to claim it.
The switch to Jonny Clayton darts from Peter Wright ones seemed to be working as Anderson got six darts from 168 to go one away and he pinned 94 for a 5-1 lead.
He had darts from 92 to win missing the second double 18 and Campbell returned for a break back on double 12. He continued to hang in there with a hold. More match darts went from 84 but he returned for double 12 finally to seal it.
ANDO KO's CAMPBELL! 🏴 Gary Anderson turns up without his own darts but by using two different sets along the way, he sets up a meeting with Michael Smith, completing a 6-3 success! Up next 👉 Fallon Sherrock v Leonard Gates Watch LIVE 👉 bit.ly/PDCTVLive

- 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
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- 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
