Despite a brave effort, Gary Anderson narrowly failed to win the thirteenth Players Championship of the year. 'The Flying Scotsman' went down 8-7 against Michael Smith in the final.
A remarkable moment played out in the 13th leg of the match. With the scoreline finely poised at 6-6, Smith was waiting on 32 when Anderson stepped to the oche without a checkout, on the bogey number of 162.
Anderson then proceeded to unorthodoxly throw three bullseyes in a row! His tactics worked as a perplexed Smith then missed three darts to take the leg to himself, allowing Anderson to return and snatch it via double 6.
In the end, however, it was to no avail for Anderson as Smith reigned supreme, winning the thrilling final 8-7.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
