Andrew Gilding, Mike de Decker and Florian Hempel are the latest players through to the Last 32 at the International Darts Open in Riesa.
For Gilding, it was his first big stage appearance since winning the UK Open against Daryl Gurney who has qualified for nearly all European Tour tournaments so far.
But it was back to the big stage and form for 'Goldfinger' who produced a 100.9 average with three 180's and 6/9 on the doubles en route to a 6-4 win.
While Mike de Decker hit three maximums en route to seeing off Callan Rydz 6-3 making good of a late comeback to this weekend following withdrawals and now faces Michael Smith.
Florian Hempel too is through with the home favourite pouncing on 20 missed darts at double from James Wilson to delight the home crowd in a 6-4 win.

- 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
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
