Schedule Thursday afternoon session 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship including De Sousa, Dolan and Suljovic

The last darting action before Christmas sees a double session at the Alexandra Palace as the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship comes closer to concluding the third round line-up.

Jose de Sousa will headline the afternoon session in his first action of the 2021/22 tournament when he takes on Jason Lowe who won a scrappy tie with Daniel Larsson. He will have to up his game to see off the Special One.

While Alan Soutar was thrown into a close tie with Diogo Portela on his debut and hopes that the Fallon Sherrock factor is still there after he lost to the Queen of the Palace at the Grand Slam of Darts.

This in turn saw an early exit in Minehead and 'Soots' will look to pounce after getting his first game out of the way.

For Brendan Dolan and Callan Rydz - it could produce one of the best ties of the second round. Both have been two of the standouts on the ProTour this year and will face off, expect high scoring and a game which will impress.

While Damon Heta will begin his World Championship campaign when he starts off the session. Luke Woodhouse awaits who will look to hand 'The Heat' an early defeat with his TV form being patchy over the last 12 months in particular.
