Ross Smith has sealed one of the biggest wins of his career so far after moving into the Quarter-Finals of the 2022 European Championship in Dortmund.
Smith saw off Dimitri van den Bergh in a 10-8 win in a high quality battle between the pair that was edged by 'Smudger' with the aid of a 100.7 average and eight 1`80's. This alongside 50% on the doubles and a high checkout of 121.
Hitting 73, 109 and 56 in succession, Smith dealt a blow to Van den Bergh in the first session. He lost that break after the interval, but a 121 finish and an 11-darter gave 'Smudger' a 6-4 lead going into the next break.
After the second break, Van den Bergh still came back to 7-7. However, third time's the charm. Smith broke the Belgian in the fifteenth leg with an 11-darter and he did not give that break away. A 13-darter made it 9-7 before he eliminated Van den Bergh in the eighteenth leg with a 15-darter.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
