Think Howson will get swept aside

Painter V Thornton
Taylor v Gates

Semi finals IMO

#1 in the Order of Merit Howson strolls to victory.

Taylor really struggles to hit the treble 20 these days

his 3 dart average is around 80-85

Rabbie Thornton win the Seniors.
Danny Noppert won the PC2 event.

We have the Baltic Sea Open from today...

Afternoon Session (1245 GMT)
Quarter-Finals
Andrew Gilding v Martin Schindler
Michael van Gerwen v Nathan Aspinall
Rob Cross v Adam Gawlas
Richie Burnett v Dimitri Van den Bergh
Best of 19 legs


Some surprising names there, and many big names missing. Could be a career changing day for some of the outsiders.
Winner: £110,000
Runner-up: £50,000
Semi-finalists: £30,000
Quarter-finalists: £15,000

Aspinall and DvdB can break into the top 8 - 5th is the highest they can get. Cross is currently set to take that spot.

Gilding can break into the top 32 with a semi final win, Gawlas would have to win the whole thing. A Burnett semi final win gets him into the top 64.

Gawlas v Gilding for a final place. Massive game for both

About all she's done.

Yeah, but at least the Challenge Tour got some publicity for once

PL darts has become so dull.

Never really enjoyed it, but since I moved about 6 years ago my darts league is Thursday nights so never watch it anyway.

Price playing some great stuff right now.

Taylor wasn't yesterday.

This Senior dates tour is awful. Anyone over 50 who is still any good still play in the PDC.

Players like Taylor who was once good are now too old to be competitive meaning you’re left with the likes of Gates, Cameron and Howson going deep in tournaments.

Essentially guys who were never much good but are now doing well in the seniors simply because they aren’t that old.

Only watched about 10 minutes of it. Think there is every chance true legends will stop entering and it will just be also runs like the ones you mentioned.

The novelty of seeing the likes of Taylor soon wears off when you them playing like pub players.
