Jaw-dropping European win
Luke's too good as darts final hits the mark
JAMES NALTON writes on the magnificent 2024 World Darts Championship
Luke Humphries
Johnny Sexton appointed as an assistant coach
IN THE end, Luke Humphries was almost too good. Needing to check out on 125 to win the 2024 World Darts Championship, he hit the centre of the bull twice.
So often a player requiring a bullseye for 50 will hit the outer bull, 25 ring, but when Humphries needed a 25 from his first two darts, he of course hit two 50s.
“Oh no! Luke Humphries was too good!” exclaimed commentator Dan Dawson.
