Gilding and Rydz benefit from late call-up in Riesa; Mansell surprisingly defeats Campbell
PDCFriday, 30 June 2023 at 17:00
Andrew Gilding and Callan Rydz took full advantage of their call-up at the European Darts Matchplay. The pair had not originally qualified for the Euro Tour tournament in Riesa, but they were allowed to compete at the last minute due to cancellations by Gerwyn Price and Jim Williams.
Gilding prevailed in a shaky match 6-4 against Darryl Pilgrim. Gilding's scoring was poor, but his finishes (75 percent on the doubles) were strong. He will take on Dirk van Duijvenbode in the second round.
Rydz won 6-3 over Stephen Burton in his first round match. He thus sealed a duel with thirteenth seed Martin Schindler at the last 32.
Mickey Mansell caused a surprise by eliminating Matt Campbell 6-3. The Northern Irishman will be Rob Cross' opponent in the next round.

- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024

- I would not change the format of any of the ranking events to make them double start. Grand Prix is unique and should stay that way.Mysstree15-10-2024
- Given how exciting this Grand Prix was, is there an argument that more top tournaments should have the double-start double-finish format? As a darts fan, I love to see lesser-known players excelling on the world stage and going deep into tournaments.
