After five rounds of high quality darts from Australia’s top 6 Grand Prix ranked players, the line up for Monday night’s semi finals are set.
Aaron Morrison got off to a blistering start in the final qualifying round, solidifying his place in the top 4 with a 5-1 victory over Queensland’s Jeremy Fagg.
In the top of the table clash it was Mal Cuming who returned to his winning ways after his round 4 defeat at the hands of Morrison on Saturday night.
The Victorian emerged victorious over Peter Machin 5-2 to finish in first position on the leaderboard. Machin – who entered the evening with internet issues – won’t have to wait long for a rematch – with the pair set to meet in Monday’s first semi final clash.
To conclude the evening Victorian Justin Thompson trailed 2-4 in his match up with Stuart Coburn. Thompson managed to click into gear, winning the last three legs to clinch the win 5-4.
Cuming will meet Machin who finished in fourth place in the first semi final, while Thompson will do battle against the third placed Morrison in semi final 2.
