Gilding shocks Hopp and Ratajski produces comeback to see off Van der Voort at German Darts Championship

The final two first round clashes in the afternoon session of the German Darts Championship have been completed. Andrew Gilding completed a shock win over Max Hopp and Krzysztof Ratajski came from behind to defeat Vincent Van der Voort.

Gilding first of all claimed a 6-2 win over Hopp, a home favourite and a seed from next week in Maastricht. He averaged 91 as he aims to avoid Q-School in January.
Ratajski was 4-1 down to Van der Voort but reeled off 5 straight legs to see off the Dutch Destroyer. The Polish Eagle hasn’t been in destructive form himself on the European Tour this year but will hope to put a good run together this weekend.
