Michael Smith and Joe Cullen have eased through to the final day at the International Darts Open in Riesa after brilliant opening wins in the afternoon session.
Smith was facing off against Martin Schindler and saw off the home hope 6-2. 'Bully Boy' averaged 96.2 and hit five 180's en route to storming through to the Last 16.
While Cullen's display was even better against another Host Nation Qualifier in Robert Marijanovic. He won through 6-1 with a 101.3 average and 50% on the doubles in an impressive display.
Speaking of impressive displays, it was an impressive scalp for Scott Baker on debut as he saw off sixth seed, Daryl Gurney in a 6-3 win. It was an 89 average for 'The Mod' who hit 6/14 on doubles despite 91.75 and 3/5 from 'Superchin', it wasn't to be.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
