Brilliant Beaton continues run with Cullen win as Clayton seals Bunting victory in style at Baltic Sea Darts Open
PDCSunday, 26 February 2023 at 15:55
Steve Beaton continues to roll back the years at the Baltic Sea Darts Open and the legendary Bronzed Adonis is now into the Quarter-Finals in Kiel.
Beaton saw off Joe Cullen in a superb 6-4 win to book his spot in the final session with a high checkout of 142 en route.
He led 3-0 initially but double trouble crept in for Beaton after hitting the aforementioned 142 checkout. Soon it was parity with Cullen making it 3-3 with a 47 checkout.
Beaton crept back ahead with a 100 checkout with Cullen not able to hit 80 for the leg and he never relinquished the lead going 5-4 up and it was double trouble for Cullen next time around as Beaton sealed the win on double one with a 24 darter.
He will now face Jonny Clayton who prevailed over Stephen Bunting in a 6-2 win.
This featured 66% on the doubles and it was one of his trademark 121 checkouts that gave him the win.
Bunting was sat ready on a potential 10-darter but wasn't even afforded a shot by Clayton who will look to end the run of Beaton later this evening.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
