Van Duivenbode produces upset win against Whitlock, Shepherd impresses in victory over Tabern

Simon Whitlock has yet to live up to his favourite tag on Night 11 of the PDC Home Tour losing out in his opening match to Mike van Duivenbode.
Whitlock lost out in a 5-3 defeat to the young Dutchman giving him a potential uphill task when it comes to winning the group with two out of the three remaining games including the Wizard.
For Van Duivenbode though who hit three 180's and 5/12 on his doubles, his brilliant start was soon apprehended as he was defeated by Alan Tabern in a 5-2 defeat as the St Helens ace hit three 180's and a 97.6 average.
This in itself dispelled Tabern's bad start who lost out to an impressive display from Kirk Shepherd who averaged 100 with three 180's and 5/8 on the doubles. Could the former World finalist find his way to glory tonight?

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
