Dirk van Duijvenbode impressed on Friday evening with a fine 6-4 victory over Luke Woodhouse to reach the second round at the Belgian Darts Championship.
Van Duijvenbode started well with two 12-dart legs in the first five legs. However he survived four missed break darts from Woodhouse in the seventh leg, before he regained the lead with double 10. The Dutchman then broke Woodhouse's throw in the tenth leg with a 72 checkout to claim the win.
Mike de Decker delighted his home crowd with a 6-5 victory over Dutch rival Ron Meulenkamp. Gabriel Clemens also reached the second round after knocking out Callan Rydz (6-3).

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
