Ryan Joyce and Josh Rock are the first two players to secure a spot on the final day of the European Darts Matchplay. Both players successfully made it through the second round on Saturday afternoon.
Starting in the second round, the top-16 seedings also flow in and Joyce managed to give one of them a leg right away. 'Relentless' eliminated third set head Dave Chisnall.
Joyce hurt his compatriot early in the match by throwing out 71 and 80 with his third dart while Chisnall was waiting for a double.
'Chizzy' then let it slip himself by missing three chances for the 2-3. Joyce hit the double 4 again to make it 4-1. A 76 finish moments later put a 5-2 lead on the scoreboard, before Chisnall notched another 12-darter for 3-5. Joyce then ended the match with a fine 123 checkout.
The second match of the afternoon session was a Northern Irish showdown between Josh Rock and Brendan Dolan. There was no real match, however, as 'Rocky' blew over his compatriot 6-0.
Dolan didn't even play too badly with an average of 96, but the hefty result was mainly due to Rock's good play. The reigning junior world champion recorded an average of 107 and a finishing percentage of 60 percent.

- 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
- 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
