Chisnall edges out Price after thriller; Noppert beats Gurney in straight sets
PDC
Dave Chisnall edged out Gerwyn Price to reach the second round at the World Grand Prix in Dublin. Chizzy claimed the win after a leg-decider in the last set.
The Danish Darts Open champion averaged 103 in the first set, but Price took a 1-0 lead as he landed a 128 finish and a 16-darter to grab the lead. Chisnall won the second set (3-0) and forced a decider. After five consecutive breaks in the last set Chisnall claimed the win with a 99 finish.
Danny Noppert caused an upset as he sent 2017 champion Daryl Gurney homewards. Noppie nicked the first set after Superchin missed five darts for the set. The Dutchman broke Gurney's throw in the second leg of the second set after the Northern Irishman missed another double. Noppert then took the second set with 3-0 to advance into the last 16.

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
