PDC German Darts Championship schedule, Saturday afternoon session
NewsSaturday, 01 September 2018 at 11:00
The German Darts Championship continues with eight second round clashes in the afternoon and evening as the seeded players come into contention at Halle 39 in Hildesheim.
It all starts off with a clash of players trying to get their form back on track and succeeding in doing so at times in 2018, Dave Chisnall and Mark Webster. Gerwyn Price who could be playing in a protective boot on stage has said he’ll play on despite him being a few weeks away from being fully recovered. He will face Jan Dekker at the German Darts Championship who will be wary of that and will hope to use it to his advantage.
Stephen Bunting has been winning a few local opens but is back on the European Tour and faces a tough test in a specialist of sorts on the tour, Ron Meulenkamp. It is a battle between the Bullet and the Bomb.
Joe Cullen next of all will hope to use the form he exhibited at the World Matchplay but he knows he will have a tough test in Josh Payne as he searches for an elusive European Tour title.
Daryl Gurney hasn’t had the best of times since his brilliant Premier League. He will face Darren Johnson, as his defence of his World Grand Prix gets closer he will want to show some form starting this weekend.
In one of the ties of the round, Michael Smith will face Krzysztof Ratajski. Smith has been one of the form players in darts this year; but as the World Series showed sometimes he is vulnerable early. Ratajski has already played one game and could find himself through to the final day of action.
Steve Beaton is one of the most well liked dart players but even he won’t have the majority of the crowd on side in his match. ‘The Bronzed Adonis’ faces the last home nation hope, Martin Schindler.
Finally, Simon Whitlock who has shown some form as of late will hope to use that as he faces the Austrian, Michael Raztovits.
Coverage starts at 12pm as the field gets whittled down in two bumper sessions in Hildesheim.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
