Peter Wright is the final player through from the first session of European Championship second round action in Dortmund after hammering Michael Smith 10-4 in a struggle for 'Bully Boy' and another step in the right direction for 'Snakebite'.
Wright now faces Chris Dobey, with a semi-final against Gerwyn Price potentially on the cards who faces Danny Noppert.

It looked like a potential whitewash throughout the contest as Wright went 5-0 up in a disastrous start for Smith. The procession continued as Wright showed no mercy with a 107 checkout.
He followed that with a break to go 7-0 up, before finally Smith got on the board at 8-1. This is when the mini comeback started as Wright squandered darts at a double towards the finish and Bully Boy sealed four legs on the spin. This made it 8-4.
But he seemed to blow his chance as he missed three darts at double to continue the comeback and sure enough Wright went 9-4 up and sealed the deal from there.

- 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

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
