1⃣7⃣ days at Ally Pally
1⃣0⃣ days at Lakeside
It's been an exhausting five weeks, packed with late nights and early starts, but I wouldn't change it for the world.
📈 Proud to also report that the channel set record numbers over the last month, hitting over 3.3 million views!

Really great to shine a light on the story of Richard Veenstra the other day.
For someone who has been on the PDC tour for four years and was previously established in the WDF, it takes some effort to continue working alongside your darts career.
😲 "The first time I played darts I hit four 180's in one competition round. They said to me, 'Four 180's that's not correct', that's all where it started".
Richard Veenstra caught up recently with Tungsten Tales to speak about his career beginnings, boat building and breaking RvB's Lakeside record.
You can catch the full interview with Veenstra over on our YouTube channel!

The final 🔟 qualifiers have been confirmed ahead of the 2026 Grand Slam of Darts next week.
Niko Springer produced a staggering 112.25 average to secure his spot in Wolverhampton, with Stephen Bunting and Bradley Brooks also heading to the West Midlands thanks to 100+ averages.
A huge moment also for Ricky Evans, who has endured a nightmare year, and is yet to qualify for the PDC World Darts Championship.

Tommy Morris is going to send some heads to the moon with that celebration at the Grand Slam 🚀
Very real chance of his causing a shock at the Slam and the World Championship, looks right at home on the big stage!
🏆 Tommy Morris WINS his first PDC Players Championship title with a 161 checkout to defeat Luke Humphries in Leicester!
What an afternoon for 'The Gun' who who we will now see at the Grand Slam of Darts and PDC World Darts Championship.
❌ No tour card
✅ PDC World Championship spot

A reminder that Ross Smith was as long as 125/1 to win the PDC World Championship as little as two months ago.
Since then he has won two TV titles and a European tour event, and is now as short as 22/1 to win at Alexandra Palace with odds likely to fall again after tonight.
Ross Smith is a serious contender for these titles now.

This could genuinely be over within five minutes. Some top class talent there that are more than capable of hitting a 12-darter.
Would've really liked to have seen them lean into the 'pub player' type more, rather than recognisable names.
Think you could beat Luke Littler? This lot certainly do. 🎯
BEAT LUKE LITTLER. 30 October, 7PM. LIVE only on Netflix.

Got to feel for Humphries here, this weekend was a real chance to keep the momentum going after an excellent week in Leicester.
Wish him well with his recovery and hope he's back to his best in Wolverhampton!
Luke Humphries has withdrawn from the 2026 Machineseeker European Championship through illness.

This was handled incredibly well by the presenter, Rachel Casey.
In these moments the personal touch makes all the difference, rather than continuing with the questioning.
Making that decision in the moment was excellent work.
Hope Mark Allen is as okay as can be.

Spoke to Niels Zonneveld a couple of weeks back at the World Grand Prix about becoming a father.
He told me his practice was effected by having a young child at home, but praised his partner for being by his side and allowing him to continue his career with minimum of fuss.
Interestingly he also spoke about "Not deserving" his first QF run on TV in 2021. After the year he's had and winning his first European Tour title this evening, he's certainly shown he belongs now.

This will not be the move you're expecting it to be 👀
Any guesses... 🤔
Thank you, Gian 🖤
This weekend’s Euro Tour will be Gian’s last event as a Red Dragon-sponsored player...
Joining us in 2014 at just 12 years old, he’s been with us for more than half of his life, he's grown with us and we have loved being there every step of the way:
Two-time PDC World Youth Champion 🏆 European Champion 🏆 World Championship runner-up 🙌 World number 2 🤯
Everyone at Red Dragon is extremely proud of everything Gian has achieved. He’s been a brilliant ambassador for the brand, and it’s been a pleasure to be part of his story.
From all of us, thank you for everything. We wish you all the best for the future!
It's been some journey... 🤍

Enjoyable watching the PDC World Youth Championship today, but can't but feel it's a real missed opportunity not streaming the event again.
Sure we didn't quite get the drama of last year, but the standard was excellent as expected. You have to go back to the last 32 to find a sub 75 average (of which there are only two).
😲 Luke Littler misses out on the World Youth Championship final for the second consecutive year at the semi-final stage as he is defeated by Cam Crabtree.
Crabtree will now face German contender Jan Schmidt in the final showcase at the Players Championship Finals in Minehead.

What an incredible final, the best match of he week to end a fairly average week in Leicester.
World class darts from Price and Humphries at times, but Humphries found it when it mattered most.
Certainly goes some way to making up for the lack of close matches early on in the tournament.

Asked darts anorak Gian Van Veen about his World Grand Prix memories last night.
Did not expect him to recall Andy Hamilton's 160 checkout against Michael van Gerwen in 2012, when Gian was only 10 years old!
Proper niche darts knowledge from Gian 👏

❤️ Niels Zonneveld on how becoming a father for the first time changed his preparation for the World Grand Prix!
"Well it (practice) did change, the first eight weeks were like... Darts, I don't care! But in the end when my daughter was fine, then you need to focus on the darts.
"The last three or four weeks I focused and it's been going really well again. For now it's going well and I need to keep this for the rest of the year now!"

🫢 Gerwyn Price revealed following his win over Ross Smith that his superstitions are the reason he doesn't change his top throughout the WHOLE tournament!
"I'm supersticious so once I do one thing once I have to do it again. I sit in the same chair the same table all through the tournament and as smelly as it sounds I don't change my top! Not very often anyway!
"I'll do what I need to do to keep the demons out of my head, I'm fully focused and my head's right, so long as I keep focused and think right then everything should be alright."

Really enjoy speaking to Ryan, he's always very open and honest, and happy to speak about the difficult topics.
Two years ago he opened up to us about his fear of flying, delighted to see he's now more comfortable and able to continue his career with minimal fuss.
One of the sports goods guys 🤝
✈️ Ryan Joyce speaks about getting over his fear of flying to become a regular at the business end on the European Tour.
"I did try and work on it, I still don't like it, but at the same time now it doesn't bother me like it used to."
"I've enjoyed playing on the European Tour over the last couple of years, I've found a way to enjoy it a lot more and it's really helped. It really helps when you're in a better place mentally."

Massive opportunity for Luke Woodhouse this evening, his first chance to reach a major quarter-final in over two years.
In the form of his life and coming off the back of defeating the world number one, has there been a better chance for Woodhouse to do that?
#Darts
💪 It's Matchday for Luke Woodhouse!
Following his stunning win over Luke Littler on Monday, Luke Woodhouse returns to the World Grand Prix stage to face Nathan Aspinall this evening.

Luke Humphries was as long as 15/2 pre tournament to win the PDC World Grand Prix.
Without playing a game, he has gone favourite and come into 10/3 and opens his campaign against Dave Chisnall tonight.
Already looking like a massive opportunity for Humphries to win his first individual major title of the season this week in Leicester.

Thought this was really good from Luke Woodhouse.
Self aware enough to understand it was a short format victory, but maintains the confidence that he can keep producing these big wins.
Think Littler emerges from this loss with credit as well. Good to see him congratulate Woodhouse at the end on holding his nerve.
Night one ✅
❤️ Some classy words from Luke Woodhouse after defeating Luke Littler at the World Grand Prix earlier this evening. Well played Luke!
"Luke's not a robot, he's going to have weeks and days where he's not right on it. But I think people have echoed it and I'm going to say it again, he's one of a kind so I hope people will take the time to appreciate him and not give him a hard time.
"I don't know why people give him a hard time, he's done for the game what Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Raymond Van Barneveld, Gary Anderson have done and he's taken it to the next level, so I hope people get behind him and give him the support and appreciate what a top talent he is."
