Rob Cross sends Dimitri Van den Bergh home as Chris Dobey ends hopes of Number 1 seed Dave Chisnall at European Championships

Dimitri van den Bergh's appearance at the European Darts Championship has been limited to just one game. Dimitri van den Bergh lost to Rob Cross in the first round, immediately leaving no Belgian players in the tournament.
Van den Bergh mainly fell short in his scoring against Cross. In only three legs did 'The Dreammaker' finish, although Van den Bergh started quite well by using a 14-darter and a 72 finish to stay with Cross until 2-2. In the fifth leg the Belgian missed an opportunity for a break, after which Cross reached 3-2 via double 16.
A 127 finish from 'Voltage' doubled the lead in favor of the Englishman. Cross was then able to make it 5-2 with a 19-darter, before ending this match with a 15-darter. In the second round, Cross will face Danny Noppert, who convincingly defeated Andrew Gilding (6-0).
Dave Chisnall could barely enjoy his status as number one seed at the European Darts Championship. 'Chizzy' took a 2-0 lead in his match against Chris Dobey, but after he missed four arrows for 3-0 it went downhill fast. Chisnall did not win another leg and saw the victory go to Dobey 6-2.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- 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
