James Wade is through to the European Championship Quarter-Finals after victory over Nathan Aspinall to conclude the afternoon session on Day Two in Oberhausen.
Wade was the champion two years ago in a time of the year where he usually produces his best darts and he edged past 'The Asp' in a 10-8 win with a 96.7 average and a high checkout of 161. He also capitalised on 8/27 on the doubles from Aspinall edging through with 40% himself (10/25).
It was evenly matched to begin the tie with Wade though capitalising on two missed darts at doubles from Aspinall to go into the break with the early lead at 3-2.
Aspinall kept just behind Wade at 4-3 down with a 14-darter pinning a 61 checkout but Wade regained a two-leg cushion with a 13-darter on double 20 to make it 6-4 at the next break.
Five missed darts at double when they returned saw Wade away and into a 7-5 lead but despite that Aspinall found a way to get to one behind again at 8-7 down pinning double 16.
Wade went one away though from there as Aspinall was down at 7/23 on the doubles, he kept in the match though as it was the Aldershot ace's turn to miss two match darts. Aspinall seized a reprieve and made it 9-8. He couldn't force a decider though with Wade pinning a 56 checkout to move through in Germany.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
