JOSH ROCK burst into tears on stage after Northern Ireland won a dramatic World Cup last leg decider.
Team partner Daryl Gurney hit double eight to wrap up an epic 10-9 win over Wales’ Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton in Sunday night’s final in Frankfurt.
Rock, 24, and Gurney then dropped to their knees on stage in scenes of incredible emotion as they picked up their first world titles and an £80,000 jackpot.
He said: “When we said we are paired together we’ll win it. We didn’t expect to do it, but we did it.
“As a team we were fantastic. We fought hard all the way through.”
Gurney added: “Firstly congratulations to Wales. They showed their class. Jonny and Gezzy, absolute legends of the game.
“Josh had the power-scoring and I just had to clean up the finishing.
“I hope I don’t get a fine for this but every time I went for double five a wee bit of poo fell out!
“I was never going to miss double eight. I have never been so proud of this man and myself.”
Northern Ireland made a storming start and Wales were lucky to only be trailing 3-2 at the first break. Clayton then hit a wonderful 142 to draw it level.
