The Last 16 line-up is set at the European Darts Grand Prix as Peter Wright, Danny Noppert and Nathan Rafferty have moved through to Sunday's action.
Wright has had form woes as of late and changed his darts again this evening despite saying recently that his tinkering was over.
He will now sense an opportunity now that Michael van Gerwen in particular is out and sealed his opening win of the tournament in breezing past 'The Sweet Ferret' Johan Engstrom.
It wasn't a vintage display from 'Snakebite' with just a 91 average but he produced two ton plus checkouts en route including a 121 and hit 42.9% on the doubles.
Following that was the game of the day as Danny Noppert similar to the UK Open final got one over Michael Smith.
It was a 6-4 win for 'The Freeze' as he produced a 102.5 average defying a 103 average and seven 180's from 'Bully Boy' who despite the brilliant display heads home. While the Dutchman will now face Nathan Rafferty.
'The Natural' stunned Dirk van Duijvenbode who despite running onto the stage in a pumped mood left deflated as he lost out 6-3.
He came back from 4-0 down but Rafferty made it 5-3 when it looked like he was coming back into the tie and ended it with a 61 checkout on double 20. In the end, it was a 101.7 average and four 180's for Rafferty in a superb display.

- 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
