WHITLOCK WINS! Brilliant response from Simon Whitlock to recover from 4-1 down to beat Adam Gawlas and made it three wins from three in the Group.

Simon Whitlock and Dave Chisnall have claimed top spots in Groups B and D after victories over Adam Gawlas and Justin Pipe respectively.
Whitlock battled back from 4-0 down to see off Gawlas producing a brilliant comeback to win through 5-4 and secure top spot in an important game in Group B with maximum points.
It was all down to doubles with Whitlock hitting 0/9 and as a result Gawlas went 2-0 up with a break and followed this up with a hold of throw to make it 3-0 with a 180 for an 11-darter.
12 consecutive missed darts at doubles saw Gawlas going one away but a pivotal break saw Whitlock taking out 77 to reduce the deficit.
Gawlas further along the line at 4-2 up missed a match dart and Whitlock closed the gap to make it 4-3. A decider was then forced and Whitlock completed the comeback.
While Chisnall saw off Justin Pipe in a 5-2 win in a hard fought victory to also claim top spot despite hitting only 5/24 on the doubles in a game which wasn't a classic but the St Helens ace got over the line.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
