Two Hungarian Darts Players Advance to Last 16 at Hungarian Darts Trophy

Budapest's MVM Dome witnessed a historic moment for Hungarian darts on Friday as László Kádár and Nándor Major both secured spots in the last 16 of the Hungarian Darts Trophy, a European Tour event. This marks the first time two Hungarian players have advanced this far in a single European Tour competition.

Kádár defeated Daryl Gurney of Northern Ireland with a close 6-5 scoreline, while Major also won his match against Niels Zonneveld of the Netherlands by the same margin. Their victories came after fellow Hungarian players Milán Biró and András Borbély were eliminated earlier in the day.

The tournament, which features top international talent, saw Beau Greaves achieve the highest average of the day but still suffer a 6-5 defeat against Rob Cross. The second day of the competition will see the introduction of the top 16 seeded players, including notable names like Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, and Luke Humphries, who will compete for a place in the last eight.

The Hungarian Darts Trophy is part of the PDC European Tour, a series of professional darts tournaments. The event in Budapest is a significant milestone for the sport in Hungary, showcasing the growing presence of Hungarian players on the international stage.
