Former finalists Rob Cross and James Wade were amongst the six players to progress to the knockout stages of the Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts on Monday.

The third day of the event saw Groups A-D conclude at Wolverhampton’s WV Active Aldersley, as three-time runner-up Peter Wright saw his hopes of qualification quashed by Cross.

Ritchie Edhouse and Mickey Mansell had already confirmed their qualification prior to Monday’s play, and they were joined in the last 16 by a host of established names.

Wade will feature in the knockout stages for the 16th time in 17 appearances after sweeping aside Rowby-John Rodriguez in their winner-takes-all Group A showdown, sealing the deal with a terrific 121 finish.

James Wade and Mickey Mansell progress

“Rowby-John didn’t play at his best there, and I made the most of it,” admitted three-time Grand Slam runner-up Wade, who ended world champion Luke Humphries’ hopes of progressing from Group A on Sunday.

“I’m really happy to be through, and I’m looking forward to the next one!”

Humphries rounded off a difficult campaign in positive fashion, averaging 101 in a 5-1 thumping of Mansell.

The world number one was playing for pride in his final round-robin game, although he signed off from this year’s event in style, following up a brilliant 11-darter with a 135 checkout to triumph.

Following an incredible conclusion to Group B, Danny Noppert progressed alongside Cameron Menzies, who will compete in the last 16 of a TV ranking event for the first time.

Women’s World Matchplay champion Beau Greaves stormed to a 5-1 victory over Menzies, which left Martin Schindler needing just three legs against Noppert to join the Dutchman in the last 16.

Nevertheless, despite averaging 109, Schindler squandered four darts for qualification in a thrilling finale, as Noppert wrapped up a 5-2 success with a 106 average to send Menzies through.
