Mitchell hasn't been on top form this week while being in the A Night At The Darts league but showed a glimpse with victory over Ritchie Edhouse.
The former Lakeside World Champion and now Challenge Tour leader averaged 102 to Edhouse's 104 in a 5-3 win. This included 5/6 on the doubles from 'Scotty Dog' with a high checkout of 161 en route.
Nijman saw off overall league leader David Evans in a 5-4 win in a match which saw the Dutch youngster average 92 to Evans's 98. As a result he made it successive wins which may help him reach the top of the standings later this evening.
Evans though came back from that earlier defeat to edge past Martin Adams in a 5-3 victory despite spurning multiple match darts to make it more comprehensive. Despite that, it was an important bounceback from 'Stretch' who hit a 95.7 average in claiming the victory.
