NewsFriday, 13 October 2017 at 20:07
Krzysztof Ratajski continued the first round and his hunt for a World Championship place by defeating former UK Open and World Grand Prix champion Robert Thornton. The newly crowned World Master averaged 98.88 in defeating 'The Thorn' 6-4 and will be a big threat this weekend for sure.
Vincent van der Voort dispatched a potential tricky opponent in the youngster Nico Blum who recently like Ratajski won the World Masters but the Boy's version. 'The Dutch Destroyer' averaged 89 to Blum's 90 in the 6-3 victory to move on through to round 2.
James Richardson lived up to his nickname 'Ruthless' and set up a meeting with Alan 'Chuck' Norris tomorrow, he achieved 6/7 on the doubles and hit a 170 finish in a brilliant 6-3 win over Dimitri van den Bergh for the Rushden man.
Rene Eidams came from the brink of defeat to knock out the in form Jeffrey de Zwaan. 'The Cube' was 3-0 up with JDZ pulling it back and when it looked like Rene's nerves was shot he came back to win to the delight of the home crowd.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
