James Wade produced a brilliant comeback from 6-2 down and survived multiple match darts to snatch a draw against Jose de Sousa as Night 11 of Premier League Darts action continued.
Wade claimed a share of the spoils with a 97.4 average and 58% on the doubles in what could be an important point for his own play-off ambitions.

De Sousa broke straight away in the tie pinning a 65 checkout on double four to head into the lead and consolidated that break from there.
Wade did not suffer a double break and held his throw with a 13-darter on double 18 but with De Sousa's early brilliance, he took out 74 on double 20 to regain a two-leg cushion.
He broke once more at 4-1 with a 14-darter on 72 going his usual two double 18's route but he couldn't yet surge away with Wade breaking back and closing his advantage to two with a last dart in hand double five.
De Sousa in the requisite leg missed the bull for a 161 but he lead by three again with 25 checked out on double six. A 14-darter on double 10 saw him at 6-2 up and seemingly cruising towards victory.
But at times, De Sousa has trouble closing matches out and this occurred once more as he couldn't grab at least a point.
Wade kept battling and before long was only two legs behind once more at 6-4 down. He moved within one with a 57 checkout on double 20 at 6-5 down.
But finally De Sousa stopped his charge thanks to double five second dart to make it 7-5. Despite that though, he squandered three match darts and Wade held throw to go to within one again and send it to a decider.
This proved pivotal as Wade pounced on another missed dart from De Sousa and he claimed a draw.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
