The first round concludes on Friday evening in Trier at the 2022
European Darts Matchplay with the likes of Danny Noppert, Callan Rydz and Martin Lukeman involved this evening aiming to make it through to the second round.
Noppert is involved in likely the tie of the first round in many ways when he faces Rowby-John Rodriguez, both have shown some of the best darts of their careers in recent months including 'The Freeze' who of course won the UK Open.
His next task will be a
European Tour, while for Rodriguez he has been ultra consistent especially in these tournaments so a high quality tie likely awaits.
Ending the evening, home fans will get to cheer on Florian Hempel in other standout tie as he faces former World Youth champion, Bradley Brooks. Other ties include Lukeman facing John Michael, young Polish ace Sebastian Bialecki takes on Mervyn King and Callan Rydz faces Jon Worsley.
Following those ties are Madars Razma taking on Dragutin Horvat and finally Lukas Wenig facing Steve Lennon before Noppert and Hempel are in action.
