Raymond van Barneveld has managed to qualify for the second round at the Austrian Darts Open. In the first round of the Euro Tour tournament in Austria, the win in the Dutch-Belgian clash against Mike de Decker went 6-5 to the 57-year-old Dutchman.
Van Barneveld had an excellent start to the match, taking the first three legs of the match. 'Barney' fell silent after that, however, and saw the next four legs all go to Decker. Van Barneveld then made it 4-4 and even made it 5-4 with a great 136 finish, but was then broken back himself. In the last leg, however, Van Barneveld then showed his class after all with a 96 finish for the match.
Martin Schindler also started the Austrian Darts Open with a victory. The German faced a formidable opponent with James Wade, but managed to win the encounter 6-3. He will play Ricardo Pietreczko in the second round on Saturday.
Chris Dobey reached the second round of a Euro Tour tournament for the fifth time this season. 'Hollywood' had a somewhat favourable draw with Graham Hall as his opponent and lived up to his favourites by beating his English compatriot 6-2. A match with Jonny Clayton awaits Dobey at the last 32 on Saturday.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
