Some of the World's best and some of the most entertaining players in darts are involved on the second night of action at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy.

It all begins with one of the World's best in Ian White who will be aiming to continue his terrific form on the European Tour this year against Michael Rosenauer - who didn't look great yesterday but he had to contend with facing an injured Antony Lopez so it will be interesting to see whether he can bring his A game against 'Diamond'.
A frenetic clash will see Jermaine Wattimena face off against Dimitri van den Bergh. Two of the best prospects in World darts and in the case of Van den Bergh in particular; a player who brings his best on the stage. If both are at their best, it will certainly be a must watch.
Mensur Suljovic, a recent winner again on the European Tour in his home country of Austria faces potentially the future of Dutch darts in Wessel Nijman - who has already shown some good form over the past year or so. Can youth triumph over experience or will the Gentle show his form in Gibraltar?
Michael van Gerwen begins his quest and his return to darts after a few weeks away in Greece as he faces a tough test in Jose de Sousa.
De Sousa has been in magnificent form as of late and has said he wants to challenge the best - what better than the best of the best. He will hope that MVG who will be rested will have some rust to his game so he can take advantage. A very intriguing tie either way.
Potentially the tie of the day follows that with two entertaining players facing off in Dyson Parody and Peter Wright. Parody will have his home crowd on his side and after his antics yesterday saying 'Peter Who' in his interview afterwards, he will want to prove his point.
Wright will likely have heard the comments of 'Dynamite' and will want to send the confident player packing, but can Parody do what he couldn't finish against Van Gerwen three years ago?

Joe Cullen another recent winner on the European Tour follows that with a tough test of his own against the very capable Ritchie Edhouse.
Edhouse can always cause shocks and will hope to defeat an in-form 'Rockstar' who last time out couldn't use his own darts due to losing his luggage.
Then it is a tantalising prospect pitting Middlesborough against Newcastle in Glen Durrant and Chris Dobey in potentially a match that could steal the show at the Victoria Stadium.
Finally it is Gerwyn Price against David Francis - the latter got through a poor game against Robert Thornton and could be overwhelmed again by 'The Iceman' who will look to silence a partisan crowd which he is used to playing in front of due to his villain status.

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
- She is a professional. If darts is her income, she is a professional. Same as Adrian Lewis, Martin Adams. A tour card just means someone can play on the PDC tour. You could even make a case that Clayton wasn't a professional (until recently I believe) because he had employment elsewhere.BandB04-11-2026
- She's technically not a professional though as she doesn't hold a pro tour card.mr-pablo04-11-2026
