OUT OF HOT WATER

Posted in General

Darts star Darren Webster had one of the most important wins of his career last night. The Norwich man defeated two time world champion Gary  Anderson 5-4 in a Grand Slam thriller. After losing his first match against William O' Connor 5-3 things were looking decidedly bleak for Darren getting out of the group stages. However with a 5-2 win against Dave Parletti on Sunday he had put himself in with a shout of qualifying. In last nights final qualifying round matches O'Connor managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by losing to Parletti 5-2, thus giving the ambitious Webster a chance of getting out of the group stages. But there was work to be done. Leg difference meant that Darren needed at least 2 legs against Anderson to secure his place in the last 16. After going behind 2-0 Webster pulled a leg back. Then at 3-1 down Darren took out 113 to ensure that he was in the last 16 draw. Better than that the Norfolk man took out tops to secure a very impressive 5-4 victory. Darren will now play Gerwyn Price for a place in the last 8 on Thursday evening. You can see all the action from the Boyle Sports Grand Slam of Darts on Sky Sports and DAZN from19.00 GMT.
