Gian van Veen failed to win his second group match at the Grand Slam of Darts to eradicate any chance of qualification through the group. He went down on Sunday afternoon against Nathan Rafferty, after losing to Ryan Searle (5-4) on Saturday.
The game against the Northern Irishman was one that had to be won to have any hope of reaching the last sixteen of this tournament. Van Veen however faced a Rafferty who played one of the best matches of his career, as his average of 103 showed.

The Dutchman did not start the match scoring well and saw Rafferty take a 2-0 lead with a 14-darter and a 15-darter. Leg three went to Van Veen with a 12-darter, and he levelled the score with a 15-darter.
However, Van Veen failed to catch on and could not break Rafferty in five visits. 'The Natural' regained the lead with double 10. With two 15-darters, Rafferty then took the win.
While Brendan Dolan on the other hand kept his hopes alive to dent Haruki Muramatsu's chances in Wolverhampton. In the latest Group F contest, it was 5-2 to 'The History Maker'.
Dolan who lost yesterday to Andrew Gilding produced a 97 average, a sole 180 and 38.5% on the outer ring with a high checkout of 121 against the Japanese ace.
Muramatsu's hopes will likely hinge on a match tomorrow with Gilding depending on if he beats Danny Noppert. Noppert put himself in pole position yesterday and will play later in the afternoon aiming to book a latter stage spot.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
