After Florian Hempel's incredible win over Dimitri van den Bergh, Martin Schindler also anchored German hopes home on the penultimate night before the Christmas break at the PDC World Darts Championship.
It was a strong display from Schindler who saw off Jermaine Wattimena who defeated Fallon Sherrock in the opening round. It was a 3-1 sets win though from 'The Wall' who held firm to defeat the Dutchman.

In the opening set, the German number two had a strong start with a 97.5 average and 3/4 on the doubles as he took it 3-1. He further strengthened his grip with another dominant foray 3-1 to go one away from the next round in double quick time.
But resolve then came from Wattimena. Schindler wired 145 for the match on double 20 and Wattimena returned for double 10 to edge the decider and save his skin. In this set, he also landed a terrific 170 checkout.
But this set back was a consolation in the context of the tie as he couldn't pin 68 to save his skin and Schindler sat on 50 sealed the deal on double 16 on his first match dart to go through and he will return like Hempel after Christmas.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
