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.

- 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
