Van Barneveld and Cross among final players to move through to third round at Players Championship Finals

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.
