𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆! 😍 A very special win for 18-year-old Liam Maendl-Lawrance from Munich in his home town! Last year he was a fan at the German Darts Grand Prix, this year he beats a PDC Pro on stage! Only at the darts! 😋👏🏼
Remarkable story as Maendl-Lawrance goes from fan to playing and winning in home town at German Darts Grand Prix

Winning a match on the stage and for a second consecutive week pushing Danny Noppert, rising German talent in Liam Maendl-Lawrance did that with a caveat this weekend at the German Darts Grand Prix in Munich.
Maendl-Lawrance who is 18 and has received plaudits for his talent but also a lot of attention for his slow playing style with his win over Robert Owen lasting over 40 minutes hails from Munich.
He was also in the crowd last year dressed as a bunny rabbit during Luke Humphries' title win. In one year, he has gone from being a paying customer to being paid to play on stage.
A European Tour story that ranks alongside Martin Schindler being previously a steward for sure but can he have similar success to 'The Wall'? The European Tour attendance effect if you will.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
