Bulls Mike de Decker Steel Dart

Product Information

Player entries have been confirmed for this weekend's Players Championship double-header in Barnsley, along with the 16 seeded players for ET5-6. The Belgian came through three deciding-leg ties in his opening four matches, edging out second seed Luke Humphries after dispatching Luc Peters with a ton-topping average. Rafferty, who qualified via the Development Tour, went toe-to-toe with the two-time Grand Slam champion, who led 4-3 when he missed double 10 for the match and bust his score in the process. I need to give credit to myself because I really battled hard today. If that dart at double 12 had gone in, this probably would have been one of the greatest games I’ve ever played.

I would love to play Luke in every final! He is a phenomenal dart player,” reflected Chisnall, who has now won six European Tour titles in five different countries. Michael Smith is strangely flying under the radar despite his status as world champion and top seed but he hasn't been firing on all cylinders in the past few months. A busy opening session at the unique multi-board event, featuring 158 players, will see the first three rounds take place on Friday from 1100 GMT. I’m so happy to win the tournament, but full credit to Luke. He’s been playing with an injury all day. That should help him play in a more relaxed frame of mind against Humphries but his average of 88.55 wasn't actually too much less than what we'd expect from him based on his seasonal figures.

It’s been something of a welcome return to form from Nathan Aspinall this season after what looked to be a potentially career-threatening wrist injury towards the end of 2021. So much so that he’s reached seven finals. Humphries posted another ton-plus average to whitewash Luke Woodhouse in the last eight, before averaging 103 and landing seven 180s in his semi-final success against Gerwyn Price. Canada's Matt Campbell has already been a finalist on Tour this year, where he lost to Nathan Aspinall 8-6 at Players Championship 13. He’s also shown good signs on TV - losing 6-3 to Gary Anderson in the US Darts Masters but was far from disgraced. Humphries then enjoyed a sparkling spell of his own, restoring parity at five apiece before following up a 12-dart break on the bull with his roof-raising nine-darter to move to the cusp of victory.

Play will commence at 1300 GMT on each day, with coverage from both events broadcast on PDCTV, featuring two streams simultaneously. The seasonal stats favour Aspinall and at times, when he finds his rhythm his maximum hitting is unbelievable. He should have too much in this one despite admitting he sometimes switches off in matches. This could be a real gritty game in which I slightly favour Campbell. Neither are notorious 180 hitters though and from a betting angle that’s something worth noting. Qualification for the Players Championship Finals is based on performances across the series of 30 Players Championship tournaments ( scroll down for full list of event winners) which have been held during 2022. You’ve got the best of the best coming through now and it’s hard. Even these players that haven’t won titles, they are still so dangerous and you have to do your job.Tour Card Holder Qualifiers for ET5-6 will be played on Monday March 13 at the Barnsley Metrodome, with entries for both events also available below. The Latvian isn’t a big 180 hitter, in fact he is arguably the biggest user of treble 19 in the Tour Card holder ranks. I expect he’ll have enough to come through here but Jiwa may be able to make it a closer run event than the odds suggest. A potential show-stopper closes the night as two of the most popular players in darts history collide for the 27th time.
