Gabriel Clemens is through to the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship on debut after a commanding straight sets win over Aden Kirk.
Clemens averaged 84 and hit six 180’s with a high checkout of 69 on the way to a brilliant victory. The German started the match off with a brilliant first set win with the turning point being him breaking the throw of Kirk in leg two. Kirk got his first leg on the board in the following set but when he started to claw it back, Clemens opened the following leg with a 180. ‘Captain Kirk’ couldn’t do enough to try and force a decider in that set as Clemens claimed the set. The following set went to a decider though. Kirk missed Double 20 to claim the set win and Clemens completed the job to move through. for more information about the PDC World Darts Championship, including schedules and the prize fund breakdown.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
