The Netherlands qualified very convincingly for the quarterfinals at the World Cup of Darts. Dirk van Duijvenbode and Danny Noppert defeated Ireland 2-0.
"We both started a bit unsure, but then we were completely unleashed," Van Duijvenbode opens to TOTO Dart Kings. "Because Danny won his match I was under less pressure. Moreover, I had always won the previous matches against Steve Lennon, so I was confident. Especially with our scoring ability, they couldn't keep up with us."
No underestimation
Noppert, who won 4-1 against William O'Connor, was also obviously satisfied. "It took a while before I got into the match properly, but afterwards I threw a number of 180's and I got a head of steam. If Dirk and I keep playing like that we'll be hard to beat. Of course we are favorites against Northern Ireland in the quarterfinals, but we don't underestimate any opponent."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
