DEFEAT IS BERRY HARD TO HANDLE

-

BERRY VAN PEER broke down in tears, during his match with Gary Anderson, at the Grand Slam of Darts.

The crying Dutchman, 21, has ‘dartitis’, a condition where players struggle with the release of the dart.

Midway through the clash against two-time world champ Anderson, it was clear Van Peer was struggling badly.

After losing 5-1, Van Peer got a sympatheti­c hug from referee Russ Bray (above).

Sky Sports commentato­r Rod Studd said: “He’s in tears, a real shame to see. Well done Berry van Peer, that must have been extremely difficult.”
