Schedule Sunday afternoon session 2023 German Darts Championship including Michael van Gerwen v Joe Cullen

Sunday afternoon sees the third round take place at the German Darts Championship, with Quarter-Finals to be set with Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries, Michael Smith among others all in action.

It all kicks off though with the home hero as Gabriel Clemens who delighted on Saturday takes on European Champion, Ross Smith. Michael van Gerwen was not at his best at all against Steve Lennon, but got the job done. Joe Cullen won't be so forgiving if MVG has an off day.

They will renew their rivalry with some utterly superb battles in the past between the pair. Before the two surprises of the tournament so far as George Killington who thrashed Dirk van Duijvenbode faces Ricardo Pietreczko who averaged 107. They sit in a section of the draw with a big opportunity awaiting.

Jules van Dongen has been utterly superb in recent months and will get a big chance himself to further his European Championship opportunities as well as Ally Pally debut. The in-form Stephen Bunting awaits.

Damon Heta faces a resurgent Martin Lukeman, before another German in Nico Kurz aims to spring a shock against Peter Wright. Before two top ties to end the session.

Luke Humphries fresh off his World Grand Prix win hit a 106 average in starting his campaign. He faces James Wade who was at his vintage Machine best before Rob Cross faces Michael Smith.
