Noppert ends Lewis's European Championship hopes, Hughes edges past West
PDC
Danny Noppert is through to the final day of action at the International Darts Open and in the process has ended Adrian Lewis's European Championship hopes.
Noppert produced a superb display to dispel the returning 'Jackpot' who tested positive for Coronavirus and returned after a period of self isolation.
He averaged 103.4 with four 180's and 66% on the doubles as the Dutchman's form continues in a brilliant couple of months which has seen him land a World Cup of Darts debut for the Netherlands.
Also through is Jamie Hughes who saw off Steve West in a 6-4 win. 'Simply' put himself inside the reckoning for a European Championship spot and could do enough in 23rd place currently.
But it is 'Yozza' who is through after edging through 6-4 punishing 11 missed darts at doubles with a high checkout of 150.

- 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
