    There’s good players in my group. I’ll have to be on form. Especially Martin Lukeman who has just qualified and three of his averages were all over a hundred. Fingers crossed I can get some points.

    I’m focused on this event and hopefully I can stick with this throw and work through it.

    I tried in Leicester [Grand Prix] and they went sort of well. Now I’ve found the dart that makes it go even better.

    Darts star Peter Wright is trying a change of THROW at the Grand Slam.

    I’m glad I won my European to get into the Slam. A lot of players in the top 10 didn’t make it.

    It’s a great tournament and I love the round-robin format. It’s not like you get knocked out and you have to go home.

    I’m working on a new throw, sort of. It’s not new, I’ve tried it before but never stuck with it. So hopefully that will be really good by January 2!

    I haven’t done a lot of practice this week. I just feel good mentally.

    I’ve got three days on the trot. Hopefully a day off and back on it again.

  • More from Humphries

    She’s doing what’s in the rules. If that changes, then things will change. But she’s not doing anything physically wrong.

    So, no-one can blame her, she’s well within the rights to do what she does at the moment.

    It’s a hard one, because there are so many different opinions that get thrown around.

    It’d be nice if people let her get on with it and play. But yeah, I wish her all the best. Hopefully she gets a win and it’s good for her.

  • Humphries on Noa-Lynn

    Luke Humphries told Noa-Lynn van Leuven’s detractors that she has earned her right to throw at the Grand Slam of Darts, saying: She hasn’t done anything illegal.

    Of course I have sympathy for her because she’s a human and no-one likes being abused online.

    She gets it a lot. But unfortunately, we all do. I get it as well for no reason sometimes. It’s the way life is nowadays.

    The world can be a negative place and people just want to abuse people and bring them down. And that’s just the way it is.

    The only thing I can suggest is to stay off social media, because it’s not a nice place at all.

    Every sport has their rules and she qualifies in the rules. So, as much as it might annoy people, she’s not doing anything that’s illegal, she’s not cheating.
