Peter Wright is the latest big name to be sent packing at the Grand Slam of Darts after Stephen Bunting dumped out the reigning European Champion on Tuesday night in Wolverhampton.
Bunting in particular on the ton plus checkouts was in devastatingly good form as he sealed a 5-3 win and progresses to the Last 16 for the first time since 2018 as Wright who despite never winning it has achieved success since won't now be seen until the World Championship.

He has not qualified for next weekend's Players Championship Finals alongside Nathan Aspinall so all focus will now be on Ally Pally. While for Bunting, it will be the Last 16 after a 99.4 average.
Those ton plus checkouts featured a 107, 103 and 101 as he went 3-1 up. He missed a match dart on double 16 which allowed Wright to prolong the tie, but 'The Bullet' surged through in the end in Group E.
He was joined by Danny Noppert who won through from Group F. 'The Freeze' was facing off against Brendan Dolan and was aiming to join Andrew Gilding in the Last 16.
Noppert found his way through to topping the group as he won 5-4 with a 124 checkout on the bull to seal maximum points over Dolan, Gilding and Muramatsu as he has shown once again his superb form this week similar to Bunting and will be a danger in the latter stages.

- 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
