Gian van Veen continues to impress at the European Darts Matchplay. After victories over Christian Kist (6-3) and Damon Heta (6-0), he now also defeated Martin Schindler (6-2).
Moreover, for the third game in a row, he threw an average of over 100. Van Veen reached averages of 103.92 and 114.15 earlier in the tournament and this time hit an average of 101.40.
The first two legs were neatly divided with Schindler, but then Van Veen put his foot on the gas. Via an 11-darter, 64 finish and a 13-darter the 21-year-old ran out to a 4-1 lead.
Schindler had two chances in the sixth leg to reduce the deficit, but missed two chances on double 8. Then Van Veen hit the double 18 to make it 5-1. Schindler then took his second leg, but then saw Van Veen end the game with a 13-darter.
A clash with eleven-time major winner James Wade awaits the young Dutchman in the quarter-finals. 'The Machine' proved too strong for former world champion Rob Cross 6-2.

- 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
