Brendan Dolan and Danny Noppert have eased to the first victories of the second day of action at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
Dolan and Noppert both claimed their first victories in the tournament; after not having the best start to proceedings yesterday; they both throw the result of their respective groups firmly up in the air.
'The History Maker' started proceedings by hitting back-to-back legs to go 2-1 up; he extended that lead quickly to 3-1 up with a second 180 to hold throw.
Dolan made it four consecutive legs in double quick time as he lead 4-1 and went one away; from there he made it five to claim victory over Veenstra who once again did not produce his best by any means.
Noppert started poorly missing two darts at doubles and this allowed Warren an early break of throw but this wasn't consolidated as Warren did the same allowing Noppert through.
'Noppie' went on a tear going 3-1 up taking three straight legs with an 81 checkout as he broke throw again to go towards the finishing line.
The finishing line is what he reached with a 5-1 win and a 97 average to boot against Wayne Warren, after being edged out by Ryan Harrington yesterday the Dutchman will be very happy with his efforts.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
