Aspinall on Noppert European Championship clash: “I need to perform at that level, if I do then I'll be hard to beat”

Nathan Aspinall continued his return to form with a 10-6 win over Damon Heta in which both players averaged over 100 at the European Championship.

Aspinall spoke post match and was ecstatic to make it through as well as now having an eye on his tie with Danny Noppert.

"I really enjoyed it and it's a fantastic win against a great opponent," said Aspinall. "I felt really good tonight.

"The 141 to stay in the match and the 104 finish showed bottle and what a fantastic player he is, but I had a job to do and I was really happy with how I performed.

"The practice is paying off and I felt so at home up there, I felt back like I felt two years ago. I was buzzing, the adrenaline was pumping and the crowd were fantastic.

"I've got Danny Noppert next and he's playing unreal darts at the moment. I need to perform at that level tomorrow, and if I do then I'll be hard to beat."
