Well deserving of a deciding leg.

[devosteve]

5-5. Come on kurz. Win this.

[ssjsa]

Kurz 5-4 up. This is a good game. And what a superb experience for kurz. Do folks still think these events are a waste of time?

Only the phillistines Devo.

[ssjsa]

Fantastic match from both players.

Nico Kurz did himself and German darts justice.

[devosteve]

Kurz with his last dart of penultimate throw hits 7 instead of 19 (throwing for t19 ). So left him 86 instead of 74.

That meant he needed to hit the bull instead of a double to win that game! Costly mistake.

Clemens pushed Gary the other weekend in Milton Keynes. Expect this match to provide a much easier victory for Gary.

[ssjsa]

Then again. Fantastic156 checkout from Clemens to break throw.

[devosteve]

Those 2 missed darts to go 3 up will cost him. Expect ando to take charge now.

[ssjsa]

Only one superlative to describe that 167 checkout from Ando with Clemens sitting on a double.

Extraordigary.

[devosteve]

Only one superlative to describe that 167 checkout from Ando with Clemens sitting on a double.

Extraordigary.

And he didn't seem to have any emotion when he hit it. Cool as you like. Impressive.

A good game there.

Your gunna be dissapointed then

Clemens is the real deal hope he qualifies for a lot of the TV events this year.

Only disappointment was that Gary didn't push his average up over 100.

Agree that Clemens is looking like a decent player though.

Jump around being played in SSJSA house

Clemens started of sensationally, became a bit inconsistent after that. But that's gonna be some player.

German darts in a very good place. Hopp, Clemens and Schindler already in the business of established top 64 players (clemens getting there soon enough), and talents like Nico Blum and as we've seen today Nico Kurz there are only going to be more of them. Mind you, Unterbuchner doing well in the bdo as well (although surely he will transfer to the pdc in time). PDC is starting to see the results of all the investments then.
