Michael van Gerwen and Jonny Clayton have secured a spot in the last four at the Dutch Darts Championship.
'Mighty Mike' gave his compatriot Danny Noppert no chance in the quarter-finals and triumphed 6-1. Van Gerwen is moving smoothly through the tournament for now. In his first two matches, he had lost only one leg. The Vlijmen native had started the tournament with a 6-0 win over Kevin Doets and a 6-1 victory over Chris Dobey.
The first leg was the worst of the match, but did go to Van Gerwen with a 19-darter. After Noppert registered 1-1 with a 112 finish, 'Mighty Mike' made it 2-1 with a 14-darter. Noppert then missed two chances to make it 2-2 before Van Gerwen made it 3-1 with a 16-darter.
A 13-darter then made it 4-1. After that, Noppert was out of the game as well. Van Gerwen threw a 126 check-out in the sixth leg for a 5-1 lead, then sealed the match with a 14-darter.
In the semifinals, Jonny Clayton will be the 35-year-old Dutchman's next opponent. In the first quarterfinal, Clayton showed he was much too strong for Ryan Searle, 6-2.
Clayton had a super start to the match by taking a 3-0 lead via a 13-darter, 85 finish and a 12-darter. Searle then cut the deficit to 3-2 before Clayton made the final score 6-2 with another three legs in a row.
Before the semifinals and finals are played, it is the turn of the quarterfinals on the other side of the bracket. In the third quarterfinal, Luke Woodhouse and Martin Schindler will battle for a spot in the final four. Last up are Josh Rock and Gerwyn Price to determine between them who will be the final semifinalist at the Dutch Darts Championship.

- 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
