Josh Rock and Martin Schindler have joined Jonny Clayton and Michael van Gerwen in qualifying for the final four at the Dutch Darts Championship in Rosmalen. The semifinals and final will take place later this Sunday night.
Rock managed another handsome win, having already been too strong for Dirk van Duijvenbode (6-3) and Cameron Menzies (6-5) earlier in the tournament. This time Gerwyn Price had to bow to 'Rocky'.
Price opened the match with a break in the first leg, but the next three legs all went to his Northern Irish opponent. In the fifth leg, Rock's next tap came to Price after he managed to throw a 145 finish for a 4-1 lead. An 11-darter brought Price back to 2-4, but Rock maintained his three-leg margin by throwing a 119 check-out in the seventh leg. Price then reduced the deficit again after a 120 finish in the eighth leg, but he did not get another chance for a break. With a 14-darter in the ninth leg, Rock decided the match.
Martin Schindler will be Rock's opponent in the semifinals. 'The Wall' initially squandered a lead against Luke Woodhouse, but was still able to pull out the victory.
Indeed, Schindler had first turned a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 lead via a 147 finish, 13-darter, 14-darter and a 137 check-out. Woodhouse forced a final leg with a 13-darter and a 101 finish, after which Schindler took the match to himself with a 12-darter in the final leg.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
