Holland’s Karin Krappen cooks up 2-1 win over catering manager Anne Kirk

Holland’s fourth seed Karin Krappen cooked up a 2-1 success to dump catering manager Anne Kirk out of the women’s championship.

It took her 38 minutes to book her passage into the last four.

Veteran Kirk from Scotland drew first blood, winning the opening leg of the match but Krappen from the coastal town of Vlissingen in the north of Holland, clinched the set on double 10.

Kirk, who has been playing darts for three decades and is a former winner of the World Masters displayed gritty determination to annex the opening leg of the second set.

Krappen, nicknamed The Dolphin, swept back with a volley of big scores setting her up for a 17-dart checkout to level the set.

Kirk annexed the third leg with the throwing advantage and then hit double eight after Krappen missed double 20 for a showstopping 116 finish to take the match into a deciding third set.

Kirk missed three doubles to lead as Krappen blasted out two double eights, the Scot levelling on double six after both players had missed further doubles.

Krappen hit double tops with her second dart to move ominously 2-1 ahead and then overcame six missed doubles to win through on double 10.
