Wales survive scare to reach Quarter-Finals of World Cup of Darts

Wales are through to the Quarter-Finals of the World Cup of Darts but survived a real scare in doing so. They had to go to the doubles decider against an unfancied Switzerland team of Alexander Fehlmann and Andreas Bless.
Fehlmann started off by defeating the captain of the Welsh team and Premier League star, Gerwyn Price. Price missed multiple darts to win the match in the deciding leg and the unknown Swiss player pinned D2 for a brilliant win and to cast Wales future in the World Cup of Darts in doubt.
That put all the pressure onto Jonny Clayton who delivered. 'The Ferret' whitewashed Bless who looked nervy throughout and he did so in the doubles decider as well.
Switzerland took an early lead against Wales but this was proven academic with Bless performing poorly which let down his partner. This allowed Wales a way through and they will play either Australia or Spain tomorrow.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- 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
