Daryl Gurney: narrow defeat.
Derry’s Daryl Gurney missed three match darts when losing to former double world professional darts champion Adrian Lewis in the first round of the World Grand Prix played last night in Dublin’s Citywest Hotel.
The Waterside professional came from a set down to level the match and missed the “bull” in a 170 checkout.
After Lewis then squandered a match dart, Gurney missed two darts at a double eight to clinch what would have been a sensational victory, screened live to millions on Sky Sports.
Gurney qualified for the World Grand Prix after finishing as one of the top two Irish players in the order of merit, along with Michael Mansell.
