Alan Norris squeezes past Corey Cadby and Berry van Peer shocks Simon Whitlock
NewsSaturday, 11 November 2017 at 15:43
A shock occured after good early going from the favourites, World Number 15 Alan Norris beat young Aussie Corey Cadby 5-4. Similar to the De Zwaan/Bunting match, Norris was 4-1 up but Cadby pulled it back to 4-4 before 'Chuck' held his nerve to win the first group match in a group with Wright and Durrant as well. Despite saying he wouldn't get involved in any antics, he gave it some with celebrating especially in beating 'the King'.
Also before that, Berry van Peer shocked Simon Whitlock in the first match for both men of the Group Stage in a group that also features former World Champion Gary Anderson and his opponent this afternoon Cameron Menzies. Van Peer struggled massively with dartitis with his first dart but came through six match darts to hit D10 for the win in a really brave performance from the young Dutchman who even admitted after the game he thought he'd got rid of it but it has come back.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
