PDCTuesday, 18 July 2023 at 22:10
World Matchplay fans' favourite Nathan Aspinall has continued his Blackpool run with an 11-9 win in a gruelling win over Danny Noppert.
A familiar rival as of late, he sealed it with an average of 98 and eight 180's and he is through to a third consecutive World Matchplay Quarter-Final.
Noppert made up a break deficit twice early in the match, but was broken again in the ninth leg after an 11-darter from Aspinall. He held that break for a long time after that.
In the sixteenth leg, Noppert had chances to equalize, but missed two chances on tops. In the eighteenth leg the match was still tied. Aspinall missed one chance at 10-8 before Noppert hit double 12 for 9-9.
However, Noppert could not enjoy the equalizer for long. With a 14-darter, Aspinall broke again, after which the darter from Stockport could throw for the match. Noppert had one more chance to send the match into extra time, but his dart on double 20 went wrong. Aspinall then locked up the match with double 20.

- That will tick the box making SKY happy. I presume Beau will forfeit her place in the PDC WC. I have to say, excluding Beau and occasionally Fallon the women's game is very poor at the moment, I can't see any of the current crop even winning a leg let alone a match.richieburnettrocks19-10-2024
- This is wrong. Surely the highest ranked of the two first round players should have got the second round spot with Huybrechts taking their place in the first round.Mysstree18-10-2024
- They are both legends and should be celebrated and have brought darts to where it is now. A statue should be put in Kirkcaldy for Jocky. The town has changed a lot.ListerAnderson16-10-2024
