'You’ll never know how far we can go': Ireland into quarter-finals at World Cup of Darts
IRELAND BOOKED THEIR place in the quarter-finals at the World Cup of Darts on Saturday with an 8-5 win against Poland.
Willie O’Connor and Mickey Mansell set up a last-eight showdown against fourth seeds Scotland, represented by Gary Anderson and Cameron Menzies.
O’Connor and Mansell got off to a flying start against Poland, taking a commanding 5-2 lead, but Poland rallied after the mid-session and interval and levelled the match at 5-5.
However, Ireland’s duo regained their composure to reel off the next three legs before Mansell sealed the match with an 87 checkout.
A buoyant O’Connor, who averaged 102.57, said: “You see that smile, that sums up what I need to know.
“We’re into the next round and I’ll tell you one thing, you’ll never know how far we can go.”
