The Last 16 line-up is confirmed at the
German Darts Championship with
Joe Cullen and
James Wade making it through to the final day of action in Hildesheim.
Cullen who didn't perform to his best at the World Series of Darts Finals after some good form on the PDC Autumn Series was back in the winners' circle with a 6-4 victory over Adam Hunt in which he averaged 94.7, hitting three 180's and 55% on his doubles in a polished display.
Fans of Nico Kurz and James Wade had a long wait today with the latter missing his flight so he was on last instead of this afternoon and it was 'The Machine' who won through to complete the lineup 6-2.
The crowd were very much behind the German youngster but in the end experience counted as Wade who made the semi-finals in Salzburg last week losing out to Rob Cross, he is in good form though and will hope that tomorrow sees him add to his European Tour tally.
