Van Barneveld, Kist to meet at Grand Slam

Raymond van Barneveld and Christian Kist will face off on Saturday night after they both won their second-round matches at the Grand Slam of Darts.

Lakeside champion Kist let slip a 6-2 advantage against Wes Newton before taking out 62 in the deciding leg for a 10-9 victory.

Andy Hamilton also came through a tight match with Gary Anderson by hitting double 16 with his final dart in the deciding leg to prevail 10-9.

Brendan Dolan threatened a miraculous comeback from 6-0 down before John Part emerged a 10-6 victor to progress to a last-eight tie with Hamilton.
