Rodriguez seals comeback win over Kantele, Plaisier keeps European Championship hopes alive with Smith win

Rusty-Jake Rodriguez sealed a brilliant comeback as he defeated Marko Kantele to reach the second round at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy.
In the final match of the session, Rodriguez overturned a 5-4 deficit to seal it 6-5 finishing with a flourish hitting an 86 checkout on the bull to claim it and he will now play Rob Cross in the second round tomorrow.
While Wesley Plaisier will face Dave Chisnall with his hopes of reaching the European Championship still very much alive. The Dutchman who has been a standout through the Associate Member route still does not have his place in Dortmund secure.
But whitewashed Jeff Smith 6-0 to set up a tie with the last European Tour winner in Chisnall. He got off to an excellent start with a 111 checkout followed by two 14-darters.
He concluded the tie with a 90 and 66 checkout to send the Canadian packing who has not endured the best run in recent European Tour events with his Tour Card hopes fading.

- 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
