Overview
- Charlie Manby defeated James Hurrell 6-4 in their UK Open round-three match at Butlin's Minehead Resort with a double-four checkout.
- Hurrell was seen putting his fingers in his ears and pulling faces as Manby threw his match darts, drawing boos as he left the stage.
- The pair exchanged words after the finish, nearly squared up, and the referee stepped in to split them before Manby celebrated to the crowd.
- Manby told ITV he and Hurrell are friendly off stage but insisted there are no friends on the oche and defended his celebrations.
- Both players reached the World Championship quarter-finals earlier this season, and Manby’s UK Open run ended in round four against Ryan Joyce.
