Schedule Saturday afternoon at Flanders Darts Trophy 2024 including Chisnall-Wade, Searle-Cullen and Heta-Van Duijvenbode

Saturday afternoon marks the start of the second round at the Flanders Darts Trophy 2024 in Antwerp. During the afternoon session no less than four Dutch players will compete for a spot in the last sixteen of this Euro Tour tournament.

The afternoon session gets underway with a meeting between Ryan Joyce and Alan Soutar. Joyce had a bye in the first round, while Soutar was victorious 6-0 against Jody Tobback in the first round.

Gian van Veen and Robert Owen face each other for the second week in a row. Last week they also met at the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim. Then the win went 6-3 to Robert Owen.

Jitse van der Wal faces former junior world champion Josh Rock after his first ever Euro Tour victory. For Kevin Doets, a meeting with Chris Dobey awaits after a 6-4 win over Francois Schweyen.

Dirk van Duijvenbode will face off with Damon Heta after his impressive win over Jonny Clayton. James Wade won over Cameron Menzies on Friday night to force a duel with Dave Chisnall.

Then the only Belgian of the afternoon session will appear on the stage of the EXPO in Antwerp. Mike de Decker will take on outsider Ross Smith, who has already reached two Euro Tour finals this year.

The afternoon session concluded with a meeting between Ryan Searle and Joe Cullen. Searle was immediately admitted to the second round, and Cullen won 6-3 over Callan Rydz.

The Flanders Darts Trophy will be broadcast on PDC TV. As usual with Euro Tour tournaments, the Flanders Darts Trophy consists of three tournament days. The afternoon sessions start daily at 12:00, while the evening sessions start at 18:00.

The first round will take place on Friday. The 16 Order of Merit qualifiers and the winners from the various qualifying tournaments then make their appearance. The top-16 seeded players enter the tournament on Saturday in the second round. Sunday will see the denouement of the tournament, starting with the third round in the afternoon session. Sunday evening will be followed by the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.

At this Euro Tour tournament, a total of £175,000 in prize money will be divided among the 48 participants. They will receive at least 1250 pounds in starting money. The top-16 seeded players who enter the Flanders Darts Trophy from the second round will receive 2,500 pounds anyway.

They do - like the 16 Order of Merit qualifiers starting in the first round - have to win their first match in order for the prize money to count toward the world rankings and the other rankings. The winner of the Flanders Darts Trophy eventually goes home with the top prize of 30,000 pounds.
