Damon Heta could finally get it right on the big stage again after dumping out Michael van Gerwen in a stunning 7-6 win to reach the final of the Gibraltar Darts Trophy.
Heta will face off against Peter Wright who produced a stellar 108 average to thrash Rob Cross earlier but it was a lot closer and a game in which a comeback was needed by 'The Heat' to produce a decider win.
He had to come from 5-2 down to seal it with Van Gerwen unable to take out 86 to go one away and Heta broke with a 56 checkout following it up with a stellar run to force a decider.
This included an 81 checkout for a 12-darter to go 5-4 down. Van Gerwen hit back with a 126 checkout to hold to make it 6-4 but Heta held on double 20 and produced another 11-darter to make it 6-6.
In the decider, Van Gerwen did all he could to pressure with a 180 but Heta hit back with a 72 checkout to win 7-6 and will face Wright shortly.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
