The Second Round of the European Championship concludes this evening in Hasselt and the Quarter-Final lineup for Sunday's action will be concluded.
The likes of Michael van Gerwen and Mensur Suljovic are already through but who will join them? The first game pits Michael Smith who survived a spirited fightback from Nathan Aspinall and Benito van de Pas who was under a similar scenario but he had to survive a last leg decider vs Vincent van der Voort and if both men are on it we could see the tournaments first last leg decider in the best of 19 format.
Rob Cross the shining light of PDC Darts over the past 12 months continues his quest to show his prowess on a major stage and will have Dave Chisnall standing in his way of doing just that. Rob whitewashed Martin Schindler who was a potential tricky customer while Chizzy smashed Cristo Reyes but Cross by virtue of his average and form is potentially the favourite but it is seen by many as a potential game of the day.
The resurgent Stephen Bunting takes on Daryl Gurney the recent World Grand Prix champion in a potential cracker and Peter Wright ends off the afternoon session against Jonny Clayton who is really in form at the minute and showed that in his first round victory smashing Dimitri van den Bergh in probably the performance of the day.
Second Round
7pm-11pm
Michael Smith v Benito van de Pas
Rob Cross v Dave Chisnall
Stephen Bunting v Daryl Gurney
Peter Wright v Jonny Clayton

- 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
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
