Relief for Peter Wright, stems comeback bid from Chris Dobey at European Championship
PDCSunday, 29 October 2023 at 14:05
Peter Wright became the first player to qualify for the semifinals at the European Darts Championship in Dortmund at the expense of Chris Dobey. 'Snakebite' had given himself a wide lead against 'Hollywood,' but eventually won but only just.
Wright played his best match in ages against Dobey. His throw looked a lot smoother and 'Snakebite' was able to find the trebles easily. A 74 finish and a 13-darter gave him a 3-1 lead before Dobey halved the deficit to 3-2 with a 15-darter.

The second session was a super session by Wright. He hit 71 for 4-2 and then gave Dobey the upper hand by finishing consecutively 161 (12-darter) and 164 (12-darter). An 81 finish for an 11-darter then evened the score to 7-2. Just before entering the second break, Dobey threw himself another 14-darter for a 7-3 lead.
Then Wright came out of the break a lot sloppier. More turns came without a treble and Dobey came back to 7-7 via a 96 finish, 62 check-out and a 14-darter. The Englishman then even took the lead via double 5.
However, Dobey then failed to hold. Wright broke him back with a 13-darter and then kept his own leg with a 51 finish to make it 9-8. Dobey was unable to recover from that and Wright took the win with a 17-darter.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
