Luke Humphries and Peter Wright have sealed victories to end the night at the Grand Slam of Darts in contrasting fashion with 'Cool Hand Luke' in particular hammering Ryan Searle with a sensational display.
Humphries joins Jonny Clayton, Michael van Gerwen, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Raymond van Barneveld in reaching the Last 16 after averaging over 107 in a 5-1 victory over 'Heavy Metal'.
He produced four 180's and 5/9 on the doubles to send a statement out to the rest of the field with Searle himself averaging 103 but only getting a solitary leg to begin the tie.

This contrasted with Wright's win which should have seen Alan Soutar through to the Last 16 if six missed match darts hadn't had their way en route.
'Snakebite' took a 2-0 lead in the early stages and looked to ease towards victory in the Scottish derby but Soutar pounced to go 2-1 down instead of 3-0 down and he came back into the game.
Soutar made it 4-3 but missed three match darts in the eighth leg with two cruel bounceouts in particular proving fatal. Wright hit 80 to force a decider. Soutar again had three match darts but missed all three with Wright finally getting over the line.
'Soots' will now face Fallon Sherrock with the hope as well that Wright can defeat Nathan Aspinall to give him a helping hand after getting so close tonight.

- 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

- 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
