CARLOW NATIVE Steve Lennon suffered disappointment at the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in London today.
The 28-year-old was comprehensively beaten 4-0 by Mervyn King.
The gap between the players ranked 21st and 52nd in the world told, as the Englishman did not drop a set on his way to victory to set up a last-16 clash with Australian Raymond Smith.
Following Willie OβConnorβs loss yesterday,Β Daryl Gurney is now the only Irish player left in the competition.
The 35-year-old Derry native will be the underdog when he faces Rob Cross, who is ranked 11th in the PDC Order of Merit, later today.
