About European Championship 2024
The seventeenth edition of the European Championship was held in Dortmund from 24 to 27 October. The 32 best players of the EuroTour year competed for the title in Germany. Ritchie Edhouse surprised everyone and managed to win his first major title.
Six Dutch players will be in action in the first round. Dirk van Duijvenbode (6-3 against Martin Schindler, Michael van Gerwen (6-1 against Gabriel Clemens), Jermaine Wattimena (6-0 against title holder Peter Wright) and Danny Noppert (6-2 against Joe Cullen) convincingly reach the next round. This does not apply to Gian van Veen and Raymond van Barneveld: they lose by a large margin to Ritchie Edhouse and Ryan Searle.
In the second round, Van Gerwen faces Gary Anderson. The Scot plays a great match and beats the Dutchman 10-4. Wattimena needs a decisive leg to win against James Wade (10-9) and Danny Noppert beats Grand Prix champion Mike de Decker 10-6. Van Duijvenbode also advances to the last eight: he wins 10-5 against Daryl Gurney. Ritchie Edhouse does not have an easy match against Michael Smith, but beats his compatriot in the nineteenth leg (10-9).
In the last eight, we will see a couple of surprising names: Luke Woodhouse and Dirk van Duijvenbode kick off the Sunday afternoon. It is Woodhouse who books a strong 10-4 victory. Then there is a high-level duel between Edhouse and Anderson. Edhouse wins 10-5 and goes to his first semi-final at a major ever. Jermaine Wattimena also goes one round further: he convincingly wins 10-4 against Luke Humphries. The third Dutchman, Danny Noppert, wins with the smallest possible difference against Ricardo Pietreczko: 10-9.
An English and a Dutch semi-final are then on the program. First the English: Woodhouse and Edhouse compete for their first major final ever. Edhouse turns out to be the better of the two and wins 11-5. The other match, between Wattimena and Noppert, is a lot more exciting: Wattimena wins at the last minute 11-10 and, like Edhouse, manages to reach a major final for the first time. With this, both men also qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts at the last moment.
A final between two men you wouldn't expect there: Ritchie Edhouse and Jermaine Wattimena. Who is the fittest after an unusually long tournament for them? It turns out to be the Englishman who comes out best in the final. Edhouse leaves Wattimena without a chance and wins the final 11-3. With that, 'Madhouse' is the winner of the European Championship and for the first time in his career he can lift the big trophy of a major tournament.
