PDCSaturday, 23 November 2019 at 17:53
The action is concluded for the second round at the Players Championship Finals in Minehead with Raymond van Barneveld and Rob Cross both moving through.
Van Barneveld hit an average of 98 and 50% on the doubles as he won through 6-3 to continue his farewell tour onto tonight at least in what is his first TV appearance in a while.
Cross who hasn’t been in the greatest form as of late showed glimmers during victory over Jamie Hughes. A 6-4 win with a 101 average, three 180s and 55% on the doubles sealed the deal for ‘Voltage’.
Over on Stage 2, Michael Smith only averaged 84 but had enough to edge out Brendan Dolan and Mervyn King produced a classy display to defeat Dave Chisnall who has been in good form as of late.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
