‘Chizzy’ hit a 108 average to send a message out to the chasing pack that he is still part of the darting elite and to back up form he has shown recently. It was a 50% checkout rate for Chisnall with 3 maximums.
He will now face Ian White tomorrow who overcame Cameron Menzies.
Michael Smith is also through surviving a tough test against Steve Lennon.
He held back the comeback with the talented Lennon bringing it back to 4-4 but it was the ‘Bully Boy’ who came through holding off the charge.
