Darts: 'Super Chin' Gurney bows out to 'Chizzy' at World Grand Prix

Daryl Gurney’s hopes of winning a first major professional darts title ended in disappointment in Dublin tonight when he was defeated in the quarter-finals of the World Grand Prix in Dublin tonight.

The 30-year-old Derry man (pictured), ranked 27 in the world, lost out to England’s Dave Chisnall by three legs to one at a packed City West.

“Super Chin” Gurney had a chance to take the first set but missed his double which allowed the world number nine to take it 3-2.

"Chizzy" took the second set 3-0 but Gurney fought back to take the third by the same scoreline.

The English man wrapped the best-of-five sets match up with a 3-2 win in the fourth.

Chisnall will play either world number one Michael Van Gerwen or Simon Whitlock in the semi-finals.

The tournament is being screened live on Sky Sports.
