Josh Rock is through to the Last 16 at the Grand Slam of Darts after victory over Luke Humphries which saw him not only seal the win but the three legs needed to move through with an exuberant 124 sealing it which saw the Northern Irishman celebrate wildly.
"I'm so overwhelmed. I said to Luke I knew as soon as that 124 checkout went in, I knew I had to win three legs and I gave it large as I knew I was into the last 16 so I'm so proud of myself but I said sorry to Luke for celebrating too much but it meant everything to me there," said Rock speaking to Polly James on Sky Sports' coverage post match.

A certain tie against Michael van Gerwen now awaits with Rock looking forward to the task.
"It'll be a good match regardless, Michael is a good player, I'm a good player. I felt pressure in that game as I knew I had to win three legs, I was happy with three legs but I felt comfortable after I won three legs. I think Luke knew as well."

- 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
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
