Noppert sealed a break of throw early on against Van Duijvenbode pouncing on five missed darts at doubles. But despite going 2-0 down, Van Duijvenbode halved the deficit slightly with a 132 checkout on the bull.
But that was the only early flourish as Noppert breezed into a 4-1 lead with Van Duijvenbode missing 12 darts at doubles.
On return from the interval, Noppert broke again at 6-3 hitting a second 1`80 and an 86 checkout only for Van Duijvenbode to potentially find his way back in by breaking and followed it up with a hold after Noppert missed 122 on the bull.
Four legs on the spin saw Van Duijvenbode hit the front and at the third interval, he kept that lead at 8-7.
But a 150 checkout saw Noppert regain the lead and was a turning point as he continued to build going in at the next break 11-9 up. Both exchanged breaks before Van Duijvenbode again made it interesting making it 11-12.
But Noppert in a theme of the tie streaked away once more going one away at 15-11 winning the next four legs from 12-11 up to seal the win.

- 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
