Prolific Price begins European Championship campaign with Edhouse win, Heta surges past Clemens

Gerwyn Price lost out in the final of the World Grand Prix last weekend but as he looks to return to the winners' circle once more, he has made the best possible start at the European Championship.
Following along from Michael van Gerwen's win over Boris Krcmar, it was time for Price to make a statement and he did so defeating Ritchie Edhouse 6-2.
Edhouse hit five 180's in the tie showing his scoring power but it was a 104.5 average from 'The Iceman' and a cool 50% on the doubles which brought him through. He will now take on Adam Gawlas tomorrow in the Last 16 in Salzburg.
While Damon Heta concluded the line-up for the Last 16 with a 6-3 victory over Gabriel Clemens.
'The Heat' brought it to 'The German Giant' early on with back-to-back legs to gain an advantage at 3-1 up but at the break, it was finely poised with a 126 checkout on the bull seeing Clemens trail 3-2.
He made a mess though of levelling the game and Heta took advantage to surge one away where he would have the throw for the win. A win he claimed with a 15 darter in the form of a 96 checkout on double 18 to make it three legs on the spin and claim the win.

- @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 heβs in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
