It was a good start for the boys, but Poland pulled it back to level at 5-5. With the momentum against them, they rattled off three legs on the spin to take it 8-5.

Itโs quite a simple win for Willie as he books his spot in the Final โ where he will take on Ross Smith.
Can he win his 2nd PDC title and his first in over 7 years? ๐๐ค๐ผ

Unfortunately Mansell is beaten 6-4, still a good two days for him.
What a performance that was! ๐๐ผ

William OโConnor is beaten 6-5 in Round 2 by Wessel Nijman.
Got off to a nice start but ran out of steam towards the end.
Still a solid weekend with a win which is always meaningful on the European Tour.
