Gabriel Clemens John OShea Conor McGregor Darius Labanauskas Paul McGrath

It was a bad day for the Irish at the Alexandra Palace as Willie O'Connor and John O'Shea were knocked out of the PDC World Darts Championship.

O'Connor was riding a wave of momentum after beating Beau Greaves in his last outing. In round two, he came up against 25th seed Gabriel Clemens.

What was expected to be a tight and tense affair turned into a rout. Clemens dominated from start to finish and landed a number of high checkouts, including a stunning 131, to leave O'Connor on the brink of defeat.
