The best of non-professional darts compete at the iconic Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green for the inaugural WDF-branded World Darts Championships. Today sees the second full day of men's last 32 and women's last 16 action. Highlights today include the return of 2020 BDO World champion Wayne Warren against Lee Shewan, lunatic Scot Cameron Menzies plays Ian Jones, current WDF #1 James Hurrell meets John Desreumaux and two Dutchmen collide in USA-based Jules van Dongen and Ryan de Vreede.
The tournaments will be broadcast live on Quest and Eurosport in the UK, on Eurosport and Discovery+ throughout Europe and on the WDF’s YouTube channel for international audiences outside of Europe.
The men's last 32 is the best of 5 sets (first to 3) and the women's last 16 is again the best of 3 sets (first to 2). Women's matches greentexted like old OP use to do.

I have been warned for racism despite the abuse Irish people get from this website. Terrible moderation. They even do it for free.
Easton Sullivan
How come that irritating little pube Leighton Bennet is in the Boy's draw whilst Luke Littler is in the men's? Do they have to pick one or something, surely Bennett did well enough at some WDF men;s events this year?
Daniel Miller
Raman v Haines was a genuinely good match, especially the deciding set. Hammond v O'Sullivan was good by women's standards as well. Other two games were walkovers.
>Raman v Cole >Veenstra v Littler
Littler will thump Veenstra if either plays like they did yesterday. Other match could be either.
Bennett didn't do well enough, he was miles down. Littler also won one of the automatic qualifier events (Irish Open)
Aaron Sanchez
Just looked it up and Bennett is the 78th ranked player in the men's WDF rankings
Anthony Hall
Fulwell playing exceptionally well for someone who had a lot of his stuff stolen yesterday.
Parker Evans
this is going to be the first session ive watched, have i missed anything?
Ethan Campbell
Just as I expected, the story about police being called on Mikuru turned out to be false. Phill Barrs has a history of false reporting so this shouldn't come as surprise to anyone.
Camden Hughes
First two days were pretty awful. Yesterday was better.
The bullshitting stupid fat cunt.
Austin James
Relentless? Another stolen nickname. Others i can think of The prince of wales The heat Ice man Any others?
Do you have to pay import tax in Ireland now after the Brexit when ordering from the UK?
William King
These wide shots aren't looking very flattering today
Noah King
Yes. Vat is normally applied at checkout so no extra charges from customs.
Brody Russell
Having to hassle with the customs and VAT has turned me to order from Dutch or German shops from now on. The faster shipping times is also a nice bonus.
James Williams
I try to order from Ireland or Europe too. Awkward not being on the continent sometimes. UK can still work out cheaper!
Mason Martinez
They forgot the NI flag for Duff lmao
Colton Ward
Lol, they heard you apparently
Aaron Davis
Duff lost to Fordham in that Grand Slam qualifier years ago
Hunter Thompson
Thankfully so. Could have robbed us of an all-time great darts moment.
