It was a darting disaster as 'The Wall' crumbled at the sight of 'Goldfinger' Andrew Gilding who is into his second UK Open semi-final and continues his darting renaissance with a 10-4 win over Martin Schindler.
It was a solid display from Gilding with a 93.9 average and five 180's but Schindler sat at 87 with 16 darts missed at double throughout.
Early on, Schindler was not at the races with an average of 83 and the ultra consistent Gilding eased into a 4-1 and 8-2 lead with the latter seeing 'The Wall' putting up no resistance with 20% on the doubles.
Gilding missed 120 for the match though and Schindler kept himself in the game at 9-4 down. He then missed 138 but with Schindler not able to pressure, 'Goldfinger' had three more match darts missing more.
He got more with Schindler missing a dart at 95 and Gilding hit double six for the win.

- 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
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
