Van Barneveld edges past Gurney to reach NZ Darts Masters semi-finals
PDCSaturday, 24 August 2019 at 08:38
Raymond van Barneveld's farewell tour has continued into the semi-finals of the NZ Darts Masters after he defeated Daryl Gurney in Hamilton.
Van Barneveld saw Gurney off in an 8-6 victory with a 94.7 average and 57 percent on the doubles to book a semi-final against James Wade.
Gurney had the upper hand to begin the tie with him going 2-1 in front but Van Barneveld was handed a reprieve with the Dutch legend taking advantage of him busting a 52 checkout to make it 2-2.
'Superchin' though went back in front breaking 'Barney's throw and going 3-2 up in the process.
Van Barneveld finally edged himself into the lead at 4-3 up but once again he couldn't ascertain a foothold ahead in this tie. This went all the way to 6-6 and as a result the tie was likely to go to the distance.
'Barney' though went one away meaning he definitely had the upperhand of sorts. As a result he used that to claim the tie in the requisite leg to continue his mini revival on his farewell tour.

- MVG down in 90th? Maybe he should change his name to Michaela and join the Women’s tour.Mysstree16-04-2025
- Bit of research, 18 carat and about 30k value which unless the weight is known am unable to confirm.Mysstree12-04-2025
- Wonder what the weight and gold content is, betting it’s 9 carat. Gold is at an all time high so could be worth a few quid.Mysstree12-04-2025
- Anderson was in the semis as well so 3 of 4 players were Scottish.Mysstree09-04-2025
- I agree,but there still isn't a good enough German player to be considered. I've said before,scrap the whole thing,its a payday for the top players and gives nothing to anyone elserick6707-04-2025
- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Aspinall really struggles against Littler. Head to head is currently 9 - 1 in Littlers favour.Mysstree07-04-2025
- Less exhibitions then you numpty.Mysstree06-04-2025
- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
