Double celebration for in-form darts star as Leeds United beat the drop

dailystar.co.uk:

darts star Luke Humphries had two reasons to celebrate on Sunday as his beloved Leeds United preserved Premier League status by winning at Brentford.

Later in the day, Humphries – given the name Luke by his father after the moniker ‘Leeds United Kings of Europe’ – swept to his third European Tour title of the season by winning the European Grand Prix in Stuttgart. ‘Cool Hand’ was victorious against Cross a week earlier in Prague to claim the Czech Open title and matched that result to scoop another £25,000 European Tour triumph of 2022 in style.Cross this time took the final all the way to a deciding leg, but was agonisingly left just short of victory for a seventh time on the European Tour - and in his third decider of the year - as Humphries took out 108 for the title."It's fantastic," said Humphries. "Rob's one of the nicest guys in the PDC and it's no coincidence [that] we have practised together for the last two European Tours and made the final together."It was a great game, full of everything.

At the start of that game we must have been averaging 113-114, it felt amazing. I know I dropped off a little bit but then I missed because Rob put me under pressure."I thought I played fantastic there but Rob was the better player overall because he was consistent throughout the whole game.

I missed a couple of match darts but that 108 was clinical and one of the best out-shots of my career. I'm making huge strides in the game and there's a lot more to come." Do you think Luke Humphries will be in the Premier League next year?
