Danny Noppert and Kevin Doets have given the Dutch a perfect start to the Dutch Darts Masters in Den Bosch. They defeated the numbers four and eight in the world rankings, respectively.
Noppert had little trouble with Nathan Aspinall, who did not fare well in Den Bosch with an average of 88. Noppert countered with an average of 95.68. A 12-darter in the third leg gave 'The Freeze' a break ahead and Noppert did not give it away. An 11-darter gave him a further lead of 5-1, before Aspinall could take a second leg. Noppert then finished the job with a 15-darter.
Doets caused a surprise by eliminating two-time world champion Peter Wright. The Scot threw just 81 average. Doets showed excellent play as he did at the World Darts Championship and thanks to an average of 98.31, 'Hawk Eye' put a 6-2 result on the scoreboard.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @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
