Deadly Dirk van Duijvenbode produces flawless doubling display against Evetts as Chisnall continues form

Dirk van Duijvenbode secured a place in the last sixteen at the European Darts Open in Leverkusen with a strong performance against Ted Evetts.

He did not miss a dart on the outer ring and also recorded an average of 104. Early in the match, Van Duijvenbode took a 3-1 lead, but Evetts came back to 3-3 with a 75 finish and a 13-darter. Van Duijvenbode then broke his opponent again with a 13-darter and then threw two more 13-darters for a 6-3 win.

Dave Chisnall also qualified for the last sixteen at the Euro Tour tournament in Leverkusen. Chisnall, winner of the Baltic Sea Darts Open in Kiel earlier this year, beat Jim Williams 6-2 to continue his terrific run of form. He reeled off five consecutive legs including a 158.
