2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship – Day 14 latest

Round Three of the Paddy Power World Darts Championship continues on Saturday, with reigning champion Luke Littler amongst the star attractions.

World number one Littler – who is yet to drop a set this tournament – continues his title defence against Austrian veteran Mensur Suljovic in the headline match of the evening session.

Also still to come, fourth seed Stephen Bunting resumes his title bid against James Hurrell, who dumped out Dirk van Duijvenbode in round two, whilst Sweden’s Andreas Harrysson and German number two Ricardo Pietreczko go head-to-head in the evening’s opener.

Afternoon round-up

Jonny Clayton emerged the victor of a thrilling 4-3 contest against Niels Zonneveld, with both players averaging above 98 in a game of high-quality finishing.

The Welsh number one went ahead on three occasions, with Zonneveld levelling each time, before Clayton won the final set in straight legs to secure his spot in round four for the fifth year in a row.

Luke Woodhouse stormed to a 4-1 win to condemn Andrew Gilding to a fourth straight Round Three defeat at Alexandra Palace.

Despite a slow start to the game, Woodhouse averaged over 103 in the last three sets to cruise to the last 16 for the second consecutive year and set up a clash with Krzysztof Ratajski.

Ratajski himself came back from 3-1 down to defeat Wesley Plaisier 4-3 in a thrilling contest where both players averaged above 95.

Plaisier missed three match darts to win the game 4-2, but the Polish number one recovered and took out four ton-plus finishes including a match-winning 116 to advance to round four for just the second time in his career.
