Lennon punishes missed doubles to see off Koltsov, North produces comeback to edge past Meulenkamp
PDCFriday, 25 September 2020 at 15:36
The action continues on the opening day at the German Darts
Championship with Steve Lennon, Richard North and Jeff Smith all through to the
second round.
North in his tie against Ron Meulenkamp produced a brilliant
comeback to come from 5-3 down to edge past ‘The Bomb’ 6-5 with a 95 average
and four 180’s en route. A tough tie will await ‘Northy’ though on his return
to the European Tour with Krzysztof Ratajski next up tomorrow.
Lennon’s will be even tougher as he takes on World Number
One, Michael van Gerwen who he lost out to in the final of the 2018 Dutch Darts
Masters. He pounced on missed doubles from Boris Koltsov which seem to be his
achilles heel as he hit 2/11 in a 6-2 defeat.
The Irishman hit two ton plus finishes en route with a high
checkout of 142 en route as despite no 180’s, he hit 10 140’s and 37% on his
doubles.
While Smith on the otherhand survived a real scare against
the Host Nation Qualifier, Franz Roetzsch. ‘The Silencer’ was 3-1 and 5-2 up
and seemingly cruising but was forced into a deciding leg in the end.
Roetzsch showed some real glimpses of quality including two
180’s, three ton plus checkouts with a high of 137 which contributed to 5/6 (83%)
on his doubles.
In the end though, the Canadian Number One missed bull for
170 for the match and cleaned up from there with a 15 darter after being put
under massive pressure to convert in the decider.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- 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
