Cross produces comeback against Sedlacek to top PDC Home Tour Group 21 in deciding game

Sedlacek needed to win or not let Cross get four legs in the tie; but despite 'Evil Charlie' seemingly coasting to victory at 4-0 up, he started to falter. Cross found a gear hitting multiple 180's in requisite legs to go one away from seemingly an unthinkable comeback.

He did so after breaking Sedlacek, he hit a 32 checkout to put it into a decider; which meant he claimed the group in the process. From there he broke throw again to complete it with a win defeating the Czech ace 5-4.

This came after a night of ups and downs for the current World Matchplay and former World Champion; despite claiming wins in all three games.

He only averaged 79 in his opener in seeing off William Borland and somehow got past Dimitri van den Bergh despite averaging ten points lower and surviving a match dart.

For Van den Bergh, his strong night was ended by William Borland who punished 3/13 on the doubles with a 103.8 average, four 180's and 5/7 on the doubles; as he put a poor start to the night behind him in a consolation 5-3 victory.
