Jermaine Wattimena produced a statement display to begin the Dutch Darts Masters at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam seeing off Jonny Clayton in a 6-5 win.
Wattimena was up against it early on in the short format as Clayton doubled his lead with a 68 checkout on double four. A 116 checkout saw ‘Machine Gun’ fire back to make it 2-1.
He kicked off his throw with a maximum as he looked to make the sea of orange roar and he hit a 52 checkout to make it parity at 2-2. He missed 125 on double 12 to make it 3-2 and was punished as Clayton shut the door and regained the lead.
Wattimena hit back with a 95 checkout with Clayton sat waiting to break and make it 4-2 and it was parity again at 3-3. But Clayton took out 99 with 19 and two double 20’s to make it 4-3.
A 177 saw Clayton in the box seat but he missed a 63 checkout to break and Wattimena returned for double eight to make it 4-4. But again Clayton edged ahead with Wattimena having to force a decider. He did just that with a 122 checkout.
Wattimena was first to a finish and despite not hitting the 150, he hit a 138 to leave double six. Clayton could not get a dart at 116 and ‘Machine Gun’ sent him packing.

- 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
