Dennis Harbour pulled off arguably the shock of the opening round at the World Seniors Darts Masters. The 61-year-old Englishman beat his good friend and one of the pre-tournament favourites, Martin Adams 4-2.
"We're good friends as well and at the end of the day I think everybody knows how hard it is to play against a mate," Harbour said in post-match interview with Online Darts.

The temperature on stage also made things difficult for Harbour as he reveals. "Very, very warm up there," he explains. "I couldn't stress enough to the crowd how hot the conditions are. And it is very difficult to concentrate on your game when you've got sweat dripping down your face into your eyes."
Nevertheless, Harbour was able to prevail. The reward? A second round tie with Phil 'the Power' Taylor. "I've never ever played Phil Taylor and I would love to!" Harbour concludes.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
