Damon Heta thrills Ally Pally with nine-darter as play resumes

Damon Heta kicked off the resumption of the World Championship in style by throwing a nine-darter.

The Australian achieved darting perfection in the second set of his third round match with Luke Woodhouse to earn a cool £60,000 payday.

Heta was millimetres away from throwing a nine-darter in the previous round when he missed the double 12, but he made no mistake this time in the first match after the Christmas break.

He followed up successive 180s with a treble 20 and treble 19 before sending his ninth dart the right side of the wire.

HEROIC HETA HITS THE NINE!
