Humphries Dominates At BetMGM Premier League

Luke Humphries admits he feels like he ‘belongs’ in the BetMGM Premier League, after celebrating his first nightly victory in Brighton on Thursday.

Humphries stole the show producing a trio of ton-plus averages to top Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross and Michael Smith on Night Six at the Brighton Centre. The World Champion conceded just eight legs in three matches, catapulting himself up to second in the Premier League table.

Humphries also registered his highest televised average in a remarkable semi-final win over Cross. He averaged an impressive 113.71 and landed a hat-trick of 11-darters on his way to a 6-3 victory. He also averaged 105 in his quarter-final demolition of Price, before wrapping things up with a 6-3 win over Smith that saw him average 101 in the process.

“This is the best I’ve played and the best I’ve felt since the World Championship,” Humphries admitted.

“I played really well and it was my night,” he continued. “Next week it might not be that way, but I am really proud of the way I played here.”

The Newbury-born ace is bidding to become the third player in the space of five years to triumph on his Premier League debut, and he insists he’s relishing the experience.

“I feel like I belong here, and hopefully I’m here for a long time in the future.”
