Island darts star Keegan Brown has missed out on getting to the last eight in the World Matchplay darts competition after suffering a defeat to Dave Chisnall in Blackpool last night (Wednesday).
Keegan, 22, who works in the pathology department at St Mary’s Hospital, made an impressive start to the match gaining a good lead over Chisnall. A run of 180s showed Brown to be on fire, but it wasn’t enough when Chisnall found his pace.
Brown hit back after loosing sets but was crucially unable to claim the break to draw level as Chisnall added a 13-darter before double four sealed his spot in the last eight for a third successive year with a 13-11 victory over the Islander.
Keegan says he is hopeful of reaching the last eight of the World Matchplay in 2016.
