Van Duijvenbode-Lewis and Aspinall-Clemens set for Players Championship 18 semi-finals

In a round of Players Championship 18 action which saw every winner average over 100+, it was Dirk van Duijvenbode who stood out as he produced a masterclass to down Luke Humphries and reach the semi-finals.

Van Duijvenbode in a 6-2 win produced 6/9 on the doubles with four of the finishes being 100+ including a 160 as he took Humphries to finishing school and assumes the role of favourite from here on out.

He will now face Adrian Lewis who eased past Andrew Gilding 6-2 and ends the superb day of 'Goldfinger', while Nathan Aspinall, a winner on the ProTour this season will take on one of the best players not to seal a title yet in Gabriel Clemens.
