Schedule and preview Friday afternoon session 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship including Cross-Williams, Ross Smith and Dobey

Practice partners and close friends will collide as Scott Williams makes his return to the Ally Pally stage to face a former World Champion in Rob Cross who will start his campaign to headline the last afternoon session before Christmas at the PDC World Darts Championship.

Williams has gained status as a player firmly to watch after his superb opener against Ryan Joyce and will hope to seal the bragging rights against 'Voltage' who is seen as a potential finalist out of this quarter.

Chris Dobey reached the fourth round last year albeit through good fortune with a positive COVID-19 test for Michael van Gerwen but it is confidence nonetheless for the ever improving 'Hollywood' who will face Martijn Kleermaker who will expect a sterner test than Xicheng Han.

To start the session, Brendan Dolan will hope for the same Jimmy Hendriks that turned up in a match that gained headlines for all the wrong reasons against Jamie Hughes due to being a real grueller. That begins the session.

While the penultimate match sees a current major champion make his first World Championship appearance as such in Ross Smith who will face Darius Labanauskas.

A player that will feel aggrieved not to be in the evening session after a superb year but will hope to let his darts do the talking against 'Lucky D'.
