Germany have sent their home crowd into raptures by defeating Northern Ireland for a second straight year in the World Cup of Darts. Like last year it went to the doubles decider and it was Hopp who hit the winning double to once again send them into the Quarter-Finals.
The Northern Irish pair would have had good hopes for the match when Gurney smashed Martin Schindler 6-0 with 66% on the doubles for the World Grand Prix champion.
Hopp though threw it back into the balance by defeating Brendan Dolan in a close affair so as they wanted they went to the pairs. They then stunned Dolan and Gurney again with a 4-2 win to potentially set up a clash with Netherlands.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
