Damon Heta has won the sixteenth Players Championship of the year. In the final, he defeated Ryan Joyce 8-4.
Heta achieved almost 104 average in the final. "This whole year I've been learning to win games, grinding them out," Heta said afterwards to Dan Dawson. "I was a bit disappointed yesterday so today I came in with the frame of mind of 'just get the win. That's all that matters.'"
The World Matchplay gets underway in Blackpool at the end of this week. "That's a different kettle of fish. I've been there a couple of times now and it obviously hasn't worked out for me. But with this new approach I'm definitely looking forward to it," Heta previews. "Josh Rock is obviously a great player so I'm looking forward to the challenge."

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
