𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗦!🇳🇱 A strong display from Danny Noppert who averages 101.2 to dump 15th seed Adrian Lewis out of the German Darts Championship. 📺Up next on video.pdc.tv: Daryl Gurney v Gabriel Clemens
Noppert produces fantastic display to see off Lewis, Gurney eases past under-par Clemens

The action continues at the
German Darts Championship albeit with a short delay from the start of proceedings
this afternoon in Hildesheim.
Danny Noppert is through after
claiming his first ever win over Adrian Lewis. The Dutchman has been one of the
most consistent performers on the tour for a while and continues that form in
Germany.
He hit a 101.2 average and 50%
on the doubles in a fantastic display. As has previously been alluded to, his
weekend is not only about the European Tour but also the World Cup of Darts and
getting into the final day means his position has been strengthened.
There was a long break though
between matches with an exhibition even between Russ Bray and Paul Nicholson
who are there as a referee and commentator this weekend respectively. This was
due to James Wade missing his flight and as a result, he will only get there in
time for the last game of the evening session against Nico Kurz.
When they did return, Daryl Gurney
eased past a below par Gabriel Clemens 6-1 to move through to the final day.
Despite an average of only 87, his doubling saw him up at 40% compared to just
20% (1/5) from his opponent who could not delight the home crowd once more.
Dragutin Horvat is also out at
the hands of Nathan Aspinall with the 12th seed accounting for him
in a 6-2 win with a 97.5 average and 50% on the doubles. As a result, the
German hopes now rest on Max Hopp and Nico Kurz, both of whom play later.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
