Schedule and preview Saturday afternoon session 2022 International Darts Open including Wade, De Sousa and Aspinall

Saturday on the European Tour means the seeded names come into the fray with two bumper sessions of darting action set at the International Darts Open.

Jose de Sousa kicks proceedings off facing Brian Raman who will hope for a better display after going through the motions in his opener against David Schlichting averaging around 80.

While for Damon Heta, he has been in superb form this season and will play one of the ties of the day second up when he faces Daryl Gurney who is also on form as of late meaning a high quality clash could be on the cards.

Lewy Williams follows up against Krzysztof Ratajski with the Welsh ace impressing in his opener against Dennis Nilsson with six 180’s throughout and will likely need similar against the highly consistent Polish Eagle.

While Danny Noppert will make his darting return in this session after becoming a father for the first time. He faces Mervyn King.

Brendan Dolan follows on facing Niko Springer who was one of the main talking points of the opening day in Riesa with an out of nowhere quality display.

Two top ties follow as Kim Huybrechts takes on Devon Petersen and Vincent Van der Voort after his superb display against Adam Gawlas takes on James Wade.

Nathan Aspinall then makes his return from injury facing Jeff Smith. Has ‘The Asp’ had enough time on the board and will the injury be an issue?
