The Rascal to meet Smith in Germany Posted: 29 Mar 2013 07:45 AM PDT Dave Chisnall's opening round clash against Michael Smith in the European Darts Trophy is the pick of the games in the evening session of the competition on day one. Smith has just recently reached the final of the World Youth Championship, where he hit a nine-darter during his qualification to the final. He will now face Ricky Evans in May at the 02 Arena. Chisnall was voted the PDC newcomer of the year in 2012 after a successful transition from the BDO. Not only did he reach the semi-final of the UK Open but he picked up wins in Players Championship in Barnsley, Crawley and Reading. At the 2013 World Darts Championship at the Alexandra Palace, the man from St Helens equalled his personal best in the tournament where he was beaten in third round by Australian Simon Whitlock 3-4. Since then he reached the final of the first UK Open qualifier but lost to the in-form Michael van Gerwen 2-6. The Hammer Andy Hamilton takes a break from the Premier League when he takes on Gareth Pass in the second game of the evening. Hamilton has been in really good form in recent weeks with two wins over the 16-time world champion Phil Taylor and his recent success over Whitlock in week 7 of the Premier League in Cardiff. The man from Stoke is on course for another Play-Off appearance at the 02 Arena. Also in action on Saturday evening in Germany is Robert Thornton who will be looking to bounce back from his defeat to Adrian Lewis last Thursday. The Thorn has held his own in his debut season in the Premier League but suffered a setback in the Welsh capital when he went down 5-7 to the two-time world champion.  Check out the darts betting on Betfair for all the latest from the Premier League.
