Bunting and Gilding eliminate German players at German Darts Open
PDCSunday, 10 September 2023 at 16:00
Stephen Bunting and Andrew Gilding have qualified for the quarter-finals at the German Darts Open. In both cases it was at the expense of a German player, leaving no German player in action Sunday night during the final session of the Euro Tour tournament in Jena.
Gilding was responsible for the elimination of Florian Hempel. Hempel won the first leg with a 12-darter, but the next four legs all went to Gilding. Hempel then closed the gap to 3-4, but Gilding held a break via double 6. 'Goldfinger' then finished the job with a 13-darter.
Bunting will be Gilding's opponent in the last eight. The difference was mainly in the doubles; Schindler scored 1/11 against 6/13 for Bunting. For example, Schindler missed five darts to make it 2-3 in the fifth leg. Bunting did hit the double to make it 4-1. He then closed it out with two 13-darters.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
