For only the second time, Gerwyn Price has been defeated at Aldersley Leisure Village with 'The Iceman' who has been somewhat unbeatable in recent years at the Grand Slam of Darts losing out to the 2012 champion Raymond van Barneveld.
Van Barneveld sealed victory yesterday in a scrappy affair against Dave Chisnall but today the doyen of Dutch darts produced a 100 average in a 5-4 win moving into the Last 16 joining his compatriot Dirk van Duijvenbode in doing so.
To start the tie, Price threatened to run away with it taking a break of throw and went onto lead 3-1 but thanks to an 11-darter and a 96 checkout, the revival started. Price broke again but Van Barneveld forced a decider. In that he had the throw and timed it to perfection with a superb 67 checkout defying a 106 average in the process.
In Group C, Michael Smith has one foot in the Last 16. He eased past Joe Cullen 5-1. Albeit he is not yet guaranteed of a spot in the Last 16, he will need at least two legs in his next game against Ritchie Edhouse to seal that.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
