Nijman wins first Development Tour title since returning from match-fixing ban at Event Six
PDC
Wessel Nijman has won a tournament on the PDC Development Tour for the third time. He was the best at the sixth tournament of this season on Friday.
Nijman won his previous Development Tour titles in 2018 and 2020. He then served a suspension of more than two years for involvement in a match-fixing scandal during an online darts tournament.
He returned to the circuit early this year, and Nijman immediately impressed by winning an NDB ranking tournament. During the first weekend of the PDC Development Tour, he also had good results, but did not reach the finals.
A final place did come at the start of the second Development Tour weekend. He beat the likes of Rusty-Jake Rodriguez (4-1), Luke Littler (5-3) and Owen Roelofs (5-4) to reach the final. In the final match, Nijman was then 5-3 too strong for Nathan Girvan.

- 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
