Michael van Gerwen and Dave Chisnall are the final two quarterfinalists at the Hungarian Darts Trophy. They meet Sunday night in the last eight of the Euro Tour tournament in Budapest.
Van Gerwen had to work hard to deal with Jonny Clayton. The player from Vlijmen started the match well and via a 13-darter, 132 finish, 11-darter and a 14-darter to take a 4-2 lead. Van Gerwen missed three chances to make it 5-2 and was broken back by Clayton via double 20. The Ferret then levelled the score with a 14-darter.
Moreover, the Welshman took over the lead with a 12-darter for 5-4 and was allowed to throw for the match in the tenth leg. After nine arrows Clayton was on 166, but in the next two innings he failed to get match darts. Van Gerwen took advantage and forced a deciding leg with a 15-darter. The last leg was then a winner for the Dutchman.
In the final match of the afternoon, Dave Chisnall had little to fear from Rowby-John Rodriguez, who threw only 83 average. Chisnall countered with a 98 per turn moyenne and won the battle easily 6-1.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
