Peter Wright reached the last sixteen at the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam with a big win over Dave Chisnall. 'Snakebite' won 6-1 over his English opponent.
Wright was having a poor season, but has rebounded in recent weeks. He reached the semifinals at the New Zealand Darts Masters and then surprisingly won the German Darts Championship. 'Snakebite' was also on a good run at the Flanders Darts Trophy, but Wright was stopped in the quarter-finals by eventual winner Chisnall.
The Scot, however, now took revenge on "Chizzy," who recorded a disappointing performance with an 87 average. Wright immediately grabbed a break lead in the first leg with a 120 finish and ran out to a 4-1 lead via two 15-darters. Then the two-time world champion closed with a 66 finish and a 17-darter.
Rob Cross also started the tournament with a big win. The former world champion only had to concede two legs in his match against the experienced Simon Whitlock, who missed too many chances on the doubles.
Cross started his match against "The Wizard" just fine with a 12-darter and a 60 check-out. The next two legs went with the darts, before Whitlock missed six chances to break Cross in the fifth leg. In the sixth leg, Cross missed four doubles of his own, then Whitlock hit 79 to close the gap to 4-2. Cross then took the lead back to three with a 104 finish, before ending the match with a 61 finish.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
