Darts in Frankfurt - Germany out in the round of 16 at the World Darts Team Championship
Germany exited the Darts Team World Championship early. The duo Martin Schindler and Gabriel Clemens lost on Saturday evening in Frankfurt am Main narrowly with 7:8 against Northern Ireland. It's the first time since 2019 that Germany didn't make it to the quarterfinals. The Northern Irish pair Josh Rock and Brendan Dolan pulled away early and almost blew a 7:4 lead. A potential quarterfinal match against top favorite England (Luke Humphries, Michael Smith) is also out for the host country.
For Germany, the World Cup ends this year in the Eissporthalle without the long-awaited first title at a Major tournament. The group stage was rather shaky for Germany with a 4:3 against New Zealand and a 4:1 against Finland. The quarterfinal matches are scheduled for the afternoon on Sunday. The semifinals and final will be held in the evening. The defending champion is Wales.
