Wessel Nijman took the title Sunday at the second ranking tournament of the NDB season. This tour is open to all Dutch players who do not have a PDC Tour Card.
Nijman has that Tour Card from 2024, so he was still eligible to play in the NDB tournament in Zutphen. Besides Nijman, other participants included Josephus Schenk, Derk Telnekes, Jelle Klaasen, Ryan de Vreede, Berry van Peer and Wesley Plaisier.

Nijman conceded only four legs in his first four matches against Tonny Wigbers (4-1), Ivo Leeksma (4-0), Patrick Maat (4-1) and Carlo van Peer (4-2). Then Nijman crawled through the eye of the needle against Martin van Velzen, who left six match darts unused to beat Nijman.
Then in the semi-final match, Nijman played his best match of the tournament. Thanks to an average of 108.91, Berry van Peer was left defenseless 5-0. The final was also an easy win for the North Hollander. Nijman won 2-0 in sets from Wesley Plaisier. In both sets, the 23-year-old dart player did not surrender a single leg.
For Nijman, this title means a good dress rehearsal for the World Darts Championship. Nijman managed to qualify through the PDC Development Tour this year for the tournament at Alexandra Palace, where he will make his debut in December.

- 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
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
