Danny Noppert is into the semi-finals of the 2022 World Matchplay after sealing a thrilling win over his compatriot, Dirk van Duijvenbode and he will face either Gerwyn Price or Jose de Sousa for a spot in the final.
Noppert sealed a 16-11 win in the Double Dutch affair with a 97.4 average and ten 180's to boot as he looks to back up his maiden major triumph at the UK Open earlier this year.

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.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
