Darts players in stitches as competitor with ironic name falls off stag
If there was anyone who was going to fall off a stage it would be Danny van Trijp. The aptly named darts star took a tumble off the oche at the Modus Super Series event in Portsmouth on Wednesday. Trijp took a tumble of the back of the stageX - @MSSdarts Game faces were on when Dutchman Van Trijp pinned a brilliant 137 checkout with two double tops. It closed out the third leg of his and Jimmy van Schie’s match against Belgian duo of Dimitri van den Bergh and Brian Raman. The Dutch pair were 2-0 down and brought it back to 2-1 thanks to Van Trijp closing out the leg. As he walked back to his playing partner, admiring his work, he took a tumble off stage. Cue the laughter from everyone inside the arena. Raman even gave his opponent a pat on the back as Van Trijp regained his composure. Commentator Laura Turner said: “The players need a bit of a moment… I think me and Henry need a bit of a moment!” Co-commentator Henry Deacon added: “How was your trip, Steve?” That little moment was perhaps the spark the Dutch duo needed to win the match. They won the match 4-3 in a tough match where they averaged just 82.22. Everyone stopped to see what happened to Van TrijpX - @MSSdarts Van Trijp’s teammate Van Schie struggled to compose himselfX - @MSSdarts It was a remarkable day in the International Pairs Group A with Scotland rallying from 100/1 outsiders to top the group. They won nine games in a row to upset the odds and finish in first place. Bizarrely, it was not the first time someone has fallen off that stage in Portsmouth this year. Steve Beaton misplaced his footing in his Modus Super Series clash with Devon Petersen in January. He stumbled off stage before he was able to catch himself at the last moment.
