Jose de Sousa has officially dropped off the professional tour 🥺 It was unreal whilst it lasted - one of the great darting mavericks 🇵🇹

Tuesday night at the ADC Global Championship looks brilliant on paper. Archie Self plays Kenya’s Peter Wachiuri, with Boris Krcmar as well as young talents Lewis Cook, Jack Drayton and Ben Townley in action.

Archie Self is destined for greatness. A nine-darter earlier this week, now a Modus Super Series champion and £25,000 richer. He follows in Luke Littler’s footsteps in winning the title at 16 years of age.

Fallon Sherrock on the social media reaction to her beating Luke Littler to win £501,000 - the second-highest prize in darts history 💬

Beat Luke Littler, a Netflix production initially advertised as a potential life-changer for pub players, has been won by somebody who received an MBE for their services to darts.

Hitting a 180 followed by 43 in three darts for a 15-darter worth £501,000 involves nerves of steel for any player. Congratulations to Fallon Sherrock.

Probably the most iconic nine-darter in European Championship history. Kyle Anderson was once one of the very best in the game. He’s definitely missed.

Four players won their maiden titles on this year’s European Tour, which was held across nine countries 🇪🇺

Every player Niels Zonneveld beat this weekend is either a major champion or European Tour winner. A remarkable run to an elusive title - a deserved one after a brilliant year. The European Tour still unfolds the greatest stories.
