Martijn Kleermaker has seen off Mario Vandenbogaerde in a 6-4 victory as the opening session at the German Darts Championship continues in Hildesheim.
Kleermaker edged through in the end with three 180's and a 93.2 average and next has Rob Cross in his sights when the seeded players come into play tomorrow.
It was a tie which was dominated by holds of throw with the pivotal points coming towards the end of the clash including a 104 from Kleermaker after a dropped dart.
But after it was made 4-4, Vandenbogaerde missed 66 for double 20 to go one away, Kleermaker hit 96 to break and make it 5-4 and he was throwing for the tie.
Vandenbogaerde missed the chance to break back and the Dutchman took aim at 79 on double 11 sealing the win.
Before that, Martin Lukeman continued his terrific start to the year with 'Smash' easing past Jimmy Hendriks 6-2 to claim his first win on the European Tour.
Another in-form player will await next in Damon Heta. In his tie against 'Captain Jimmy' though he hit a 92 average, two 180's and 46.2% on the doubles in an all round polished display finishing with a flourish in a 136 checkout.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
