Aspinall Claims German Darts Grand Prix Title with 8-5 Win Over Noppert

Nathan Aspinall has won his fourth European Tour title, defeating Danny Noppert 8-5 in the final of the German Darts Grand Prix. Aspinall, who had previously won three European Tour titles in 2025, made a strong comeback in Munich on Monday, overcoming a determined effort from Noppert to claim the £35,000 top prize. The Stockport star won four consecutive legs from 5-4 down, averaging 100.35 and achieving seven 180s to end Noppert's bid for his first European Tour crown. Aspinall began the final day by beating Martin Schindler, then went on to defeat Andrew Gilding in the quarter-finals. He produced his best performance of the weekend in the semi-finals, averaging 106.40 to beat Kevin Doets, ending a run of six consecutive defeats against the Dutchman. Aspinall's victory set up a thrilling matchup against Noppert, and although Noppert staged a remarkable comeback, Aspinall responded with legs of 13, 12, and 15 darts to lead 7-5, before securing a clinical 128 checkout to cap off a brilliant display. 'I am absolutely buzzing,' Aspinall admitted, having equalled Phil Taylor's haul of four European Tour titles. 'I've had a lot of setbacks this year, but nights like tonight remind me why I play this game.' Aspinall's win has boosted his confidence, and he will look to build on this momentum in upcoming tournaments.
