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.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
