UK Open draw, Quarter-Finals: Cross vs Anderson & Price vs Cadby among clashes in Minehead
NewsSunday, 04 March 2018 at 00:09
The UK Open Quarter-Final has been finalised with some quality match-ups up on the main stage come tomorrow afternoon. These include Gary Anderson vs Rob Cross and Corey Cadby vs Gerwyn Price.
Also the UK Open has shown the real magic of the tournament with a group of 4 players left who weren't expected with a chance of making a first major final.
The 4 left are well established names but players who wouldn't have been expected to reach the final day. The first game includes David Pallett and Steve West. Pallett has been in good form over the past month while West has been hit and miss.
John Part has rolled back the years and he will play Robert Owen, the Welshman who last year in an interview with Dartsnews.com said he wanted to be the number one player in Wales. He is going the right way about it showing the form which saw some good runs come about towards the back end of 2017.
The two big games though come from the bottom half and that is Corey Cadby vs Gerwyn Price. Cadby is in his first UK Open but will be fancied to potentially overcome Price. It will be a rematch of their WSOD Finals encounter which included a lot of over-celebrating in an entertaining encounter.
Finally it is Gary Anderson vs Rob Cross meaning there is a major chance a first time major champion (barring Part) could be crowned as they will now not meet in the final.

- 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
