Schedule and preview Thursday evening session 2022 European Championship Darts including Rock-Aspinall, Cross-Wade and Searle-Lukeman
PDCThursday, 27 October 2022 at 18:07
The European Championship begins on Thursday at the early time of 5:45pm with half of the first round taking centre stage in Dortmund.
Top ties include Martin Lukeman who made impressive strides during the World Grand Prix and who made his name during the European Tour facing Ryan Searle who just over a year ago became a major finalist but since then hasn’t kicked on and will hope to do so this weekend.
Josh Rock will likely receive some billing after the last week but will face another player in terrific form in the last major finalist, Nathan Aspinall. While defending champion faces former champion as Rob Cross takes on James Wade.
Starting off proceedings in between Searle-Lukeman are two Dutch led ties as Dirk Van Duijvenbode faces Madars Razma and Danny Noppert takes on Andrew Gilding.
Top seed Luke Humphries faces Krzysztof Ratajski, while Michael Smith faces Czech ace, Karel ‘Evil Charlie’ Sedlacek who like Ratajski before when he was emerging is a non Tour Card holder who has spent the season coming through the East Europe qualifier.
While to end the night is another man of the moment in Damon Heta who finally avoids Joe Cullen and will face Vincent van der Voort.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
