Groups A-D are complete at the Grand Slam of Darts with Rob Cross and Michael Smith the last players to move through in contrasting wins on Monday evening.
Smith sealed top spot in Group C first of all with a superb display to defeat Ritchie Edhouse 5-1. This also featured a 102 average from 'Bully Boy' who is joined by Joe Cullen who played his part by defeating Lisa Ashton and Smith then did him a favour by seeing off his nearest rival.
It will be Cross next up for Smith, with Cullen set to face Dirk van Duijvenbode but Martin Schindler will be ruing multiple missed opportunities against 'Voltage' who snatched a 5-4 win after surviving four match darts in a dramatic end to the evening.
Cross has reached the Last 16 now six times in as many attempts but had to recover from 3-0 down to do so and survived match darts at 4-2 down with nerves getting the better of the German.
This seemed to be the nail in the coffin with Cross finding the break he needed at 4-4 and his survival was complete pinning double four for a place in the Last 16.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
