Rydz and Barry will face each other after finding their way through from Stage Two. The former saw off Ricardo Pietreczko in a 6-3 win with the German unable to follow up defeating top seed Damon Heta yesterday. While Barry's love affair with Minehead continues with 'Dynamite' producing a 100 average and four 180's en route to a 6-5 win.
Gilding broke with a 120 checkout to go one away but Barry turned it around and heads into the latter stages tonight.
While on the Main Stage, it was a Dutch Destruction job from Dirk van Duijvenbode with 'The Titan' producing a sensational display to ease past Daryl Gurney 6-1.
Thanks to three 14-darters and a 12-darter, Van Duijvenbode quickly gained a 5-0 lead. Gurney then got on the scoreboard with a 64 check-out, before 'Aubergenius' sealed it with an 80 checkout.
While Van den Bergh survived a scare against Ritchie Edhouse moving through 6-5 and will face either Cameron Menzies or Michael van Gerwen later.
He had to produce a comeback to see off Edhouse sealing it in a dramatic deciding leg.
