Good evening and welcome to the Lakeside country club for our first

:00:00.:00:42.

highlights show from the 2016 BDO worths darts championships. Some new

:00:43.:00:49.

names that we haven't heard of before, but the usually suspects are

:00:50.:00:50.

all here. And one of those faces that you saw

:00:51.:01:30.

was Glen Durrant. He did so well last year, and he is the number one

:01:31.:01:34.

seed, and the man to beat. He is taking on Dean Reynolds, making his

:01:35.:01:40.

di but lure, by he lives ten miles down the road. It Durrant against

:01:41.:01:45.

Reynolds 20 to kick off the highlights. A magical atmosphere.

:01:46.:01:49.

Neck and neck in theifies set. Two legs apiece as we Jin them. -- as we

:01:50.:01:57.

join them. What Glen Durrant has allowed Dean Reynolds to do, to miss

:01:58.:02:03.

seven darts and a double without being punished. He won that third

:02:04.:02:06.

leg at the fourth time of asking, and won the fourth leg to level the

:02:07.:02:09.

first set, at the fifth time of asking.

:02:10.:02:15.

, file analysis, it's a little bit scruffy now. Durrant, who started so

:02:16.:02:21.

impressively, he tried to regroup now. And looking for a second

:02:22.:02:24.

maximum and he gets it! 180! To stay in touch. But a 140 and a

:02:25.:02:44.

180 to start to leg from Glen Durrant. 105.

:02:45.:02:56.

He leaves 76 for the set. How about a that? From Deano! So Durrant, for

:02:57.:03:04.

the set. 76. Looking for single 16 for tops. Tops

:03:05.:03:16.

for Durrant for the first set. It's a 12-darter. Needed it to be.

:03:17.:03:26.

Roller coaster of a set. And now Reynolds with the darts. And in the

:03:27.:03:33.

end, it went the way of the top seed, and went the way of the throw.

:03:34.:03:44.

A few dramas de-2016 start and conclusion, to put it mildly.

:03:45.:04:01.

Glen Durrant, never massively dem strative, is he? He is very focused.

:04:02.:04:51.

Whereas, Dean Reynolds does wear his heart on his sleeve. Well, Glen

:04:52.:04:56.

believes it's all in the mind, doesn't he? He has his mind coach.

:04:57.:05:04.

And he beliefs in what he does and he believes in his own ability, and

:05:05.:05:10.

he produces dart like that. The fifth of the match already. A good

:05:11.:05:12.

response. Very good response. Treble 18. So Reynolds comes back

:05:13.:05:33.

and he needs 70 for the opening leg. 66 left. Double nine. Game

:05:34.:05:41.

Unusual way to get it. But it doesn't matter. He is ahead in the

:05:42.:05:44.

set. Good fun, this. Here we go again.

:05:45.:05:47.

140. Not far away. Dean Reynolds in his Lakeside debut.

:05:48.:06:17.

Wonder how much he is enjoying being up there. Judging by the acclaim he

:06:18.:06:23.

got when he walked on. And he is playing a bit better now the

:06:24.:06:30.

adrenaline Rush of his arrival has worn off slightly and he is into the

:06:31.:06:35.

match. He is composing himself. Sensibly. A loose dart. But straight

:06:36.:06:40.

back into the treble 20. A few Welsh flags in the auditorium.

:06:41.:06:58.

They have made that way down. He is wearing his, I think. He may live in

:06:59.:07:05.

Guildford these days, but very much a Cardiff boy at heart. Learned his

:07:06.:07:12.

darts in the pub, run by mum and dad.

:07:13.:07:22.

Another couple of messageses, other pubs are available in the Cardiff

:07:23.:07:24.

area. Still thinking. 177! Well done!

:07:25.:08:06.

Stunning from Reynolds. He put the Durrant throw under big pressure. 84

:08:07.:08:11.

he needs. What a great dart. For an 84 checkout. Sixes. Well, misses and

:08:12.:08:22.

it was by virtue of that wonderful set-up from Reynolds. He must hit

:08:23.:08:28.

double nine. Although he did in the last leg, not this time. Got to take

:08:29.:08:35.

your chances. Double threes is no fun, right at

:08:36.:08:39.

your chances. Double threes is no board. But they are all on the same

:08:40.:08:45.

side. , a little smile from Dean Reynolds, who thinks head should

:08:46.:08:49.

have won that one. Kind of agree with him. He did it the hard way. He

:08:50.:08:58.

put Durrant under some real pressure, with that 177, quite

:08:59.:08:59.

superb. I wonder, when when look back at

:09:00.:09:07.

that match, whether that will be a moment. Three missed darts at double

:09:08.:09:14.

18, two at double 18 and one at double nine. He has to put it behind

:09:15.:09:17.

him. Looks as though he has. Well, Deano's throwing on raw

:09:18.:09:33.

emotion. His fans are certainly a passionate

:09:34.:10:04.

mob. 13020 got ahead again. He got six if he needs them. What a good

:10:05.:10:11.

dot. Double eight. 183, no out shot. He can pressure the double four.

:10:12.:10:19.

Reynolds missed three Darths for a two leg lead. Double four. This is a

:10:20.:10:26.

Reynolds missed three Darths for a big one. He needs to put this away.

:10:27.:10:27.

A gad marker. Oh, dear, dear, dear. To move ahead in the set. So 20

:10:28.:10:47.

leaves the bull. Treble leaves double five. So two fives for

:10:48.:10:54.

Durrant... And Reynolds gets a second opportunity. Which I don't

:10:55.:11:00.

think, he could have anticipated receiving and he's taken it at last.

:11:01.:11:05.

Dean Reynolds is ahead again in this second set. The Welsh contingent

:11:06.:11:07.

believe. To try and hold this throw, Glen

:11:08.:11:52.

Durrant. To level the set. First to three sets through to the second

:11:53.:11:58.

round. It will be a break, a short one, at the end of this second set.

:11:59.:12:18.

Good last dart leaves the big finish. Will he get a chance at it?

:12:19.:12:49.

Good dart. Double 12. For Durrant. There it is. Quality finishing makes

:12:50.:12:57.

22-2. And Reynolds with the throw. How badly he needed to hold onto

:12:58.:13:05.

this leg and take this one, otherwise Durrant will have distance

:13:06.:13:06.

between him and young Dean Reynolds. Still no treble here. By either

:13:07.:13:11.

player. Pressure... Responding well. Such an

:13:12.:13:51.

important leg in the context of the whole match, this.

:13:52.:13:58.

Was that a bit of inexperience, a bit of tension? And the way he

:13:59.:14:07.

reacted to it, would have given Glen Durrant a bit of a boost. In a scrap

:14:08.:14:15.

like this, it's good to know if you're opponent is feeling down on

:14:16.:14:19.

himself. Reynolds will try to bounce straight back here. That unlucky.

:14:20.:14:20.

Great darts. A big dart. Only 100. A 140 would

:14:21.:14:51.

have been lovy. Only a hundred, the sort of standard we come to expect

:14:52.:14:58.

from Glen Durrant. The number one seed, really given an examination

:14:59.:15:00.

here by Reynolds. This is for the set. Treble 14. Double 11, he left.

:15:01.:15:16.

For a 142 and the set, not far away. So, Dean Reynolds... Unusual way to

:15:17.:15:23.

go for it. Tops for Reynolds. Missed it by a long way. Glen you, require

:15:24.:15:32.

22. Double 11. It's not a great one. The far left-hand side of the board.

:15:33.:15:40.

But he finds it when he needs it. And sure going to feel a little bit

:15:41.:15:51.

buoyant as a result of taking that leg and the set. He needs one more

:15:52.:15:57.

to take his place in the next round. Not been vintage, Durrant, not quite

:15:58.:16:02.

at his best. But Reynolds has had opportunities. He could have been

:16:03.:16:10.

closer. But how deflated would he have been by that reverse? Come on,

:16:11.:16:15.

says Durrant. He did and a dart at double top to win the set, remember?

:16:16.:16:22.

Dean Reynolds. His double percentage is what is costing him. He has hit

:16:23.:16:28.

four out of 19. Just 21%. Not good enough. Not if you want to beat the

:16:29.:16:33.

top seed. Had a couple of poor visits here. They both have.

:16:34.:16:44.

That's better. Back in the groove, back in the red bit, and back on the

:16:45.:16:51.

maximum board. His fourth of the match. Three for Reynolds, seven in

:16:52.:17:01.

total. And Durrant has been the heavier scorer. 130 ahead, plus

:17:02.:17:06.

these. He's done precisely what he wanted

:17:07.:17:23.

after that break, putting himself in a winning position and dominance in

:17:24.:17:30.

this leg. All he has to do is hold this throw three times. Now, treble

:17:31.:17:37.

ten for double 18, or bull for double eight? Single nine he'll go

:17:38.:17:40.

for now. Reynolds back on 248. Not a lot he could do about that.

:17:41.:17:53.

Here comes Durrant to take the advantage in what could be the last

:17:54.:17:57.

leg of the match. Two 16s, now a couple of eights. Very nice.

:17:58.:18:06.

Looks very much in control of himself up there.

:18:07.:18:15.

Exactly that is what he'll tell you has brought him all his success.

:18:16.:18:21.

Keeping control of his emotions. Keeping the belief.

:18:22.:18:31.

Seeing pressurised situations as opportunities, not potential

:18:32.:18:32.

disasters. Something like one who studied these

:18:33.:18:49.

things. I talked to, a lot of tennis players. Joe, her mind coach. For

:18:50.:18:54.

about a week, I thought, you know what - I could work! It's changing

:18:55.:18:58.

my approach to life! And then reality kicked in. And Durrant, 281.

:18:59.:19:17.

He has fifthly take taken the throw -- he has effectively taken the

:19:18.:19:23.

throw here. Not been at his best, but Reynolds has

:19:24.:19:29.

Well, some rackets if he pulls this one off. Up here it in Cardiff. --

:19:30.:19:57.

you'll hear it Double top he's left. After all of

:19:58.:20:23.

that, he wasn't far away. He knows it. Durrant returns for another go

:20:24.:20:32.

at double five. I think he knows where Reynolds gets

:20:33.:20:35.

at double five. I think he knows manners from. Double five for

:20:36.:20:39.

Durrant. There it is. He needs one more leg and he's home and hosed.

:20:40.:20:52.

You would speck him, the way he's been playing over the past

:20:53.:21:03.

You would speck him, the way he's The fact he's disappointed with only

:21:04.:21:06.

100 to start the leg telts you everything. He produced

:21:07.:21:10.

100 to start the leg telts you game of darts. It sums up what he's

:21:11.:21:17.

done here. He's not been at his very best, but he's done enough. And

:21:18.:21:22.

unless the wheels really fall off in some spectacular manner here, he's

:21:23.:21:28.

going to cross the line. D unless the wheels really fall off in some

:21:29.:21:31.

spectacular manner here, he's going to cross the line. 38% checkout

:21:32.:21:37.

rate. An ashling of over 90. Reynolds still in there, pitching.

:21:38.:21:41.

Company on, Durrant, he says to himself. A lovely cover shot. On,

:21:42.:21:49.

Durrant, he says to himself. A lovely cover shot. He doesn't play

:21:50.:21:55.

again until Wednesday, or Thursday of next week.

:21:56.:22:01.

This is a first round match. We've some preliminary rounds to go, but

:22:02.:22:17.

all in amongst each other. Time to go back to Middlesborough if he

:22:18.:22:26.

wanted to. Well, he could go the show boat exhibition stuff and go

:22:27.:22:31.

via the bull. That's one of them. He went for, did he go for 250? May

:22:32.:22:40.

have gone for treble 17 there. To stay alive. Can't now finish, so

:22:41.:22:48.

this might be it for Dean Reynolds. As Durrant comes in now, with

:22:49.:22:54.

He is in the mood to finish this, right here, right now. That's not a

:22:55.:22:59.

good Tops, he only gets the one dart at

:23:00.:23:12.

it. All he needed. And Dean Reynolds, the Welshman, is accounted

:23:13.:23:16.

for the straight sets. Glen Durrant, not at his very best, but great

:23:17.:23:20.

support for Dean Reynolds, but no his day. Glen Durrant through into

:23:21.:23:28.

the next round, and winning fairly comfortably, ultimately. It's a

:23:29.:23:31.

different prospect when you come here as the number one seed. Well

:23:32.:23:37.

done, a little bit of relief to get over the first hurdle? I respected

:23:38.:23:42.

Dean Reynolds so much. I said he was a fantastic player. The biggest

:23:43.:23:46.

compliment, could give him, I never looked at the draw. He was the only

:23:47.:23:52.

guy I concentrated on in practice, he is a phenomenal young man.

:23:53.:23:57.

Looking at the 12 months you had, since you lost some sneem. It seemed

:23:58.:24:02.

the defeat has defined you and inspired you. Absolutely that's the

:24:03.:24:11.

game that people remember me. I learned all awful lot from that day.

:24:12.:24:19.

That Martin Adams game, I was inconsolable for one month. I kicked

:24:20.:24:25.

in from the Scottish Open. Well, in 2016, it has started pretty well.

:24:26.:24:27.

Congratulations. We'll see you in Well, Durrant through, as the number

:24:28.:24:39.

one in the laids draw. Lisa Ashton beat Paula Jacklin, as she aims to

:24:40.:24:46.

make it three titles in a row. I couldn't bet against her. Elsewhere,

:24:47.:24:53.

sudden death. Anastasia Dobromyslova could not get it done.

:24:54.:24:57.

Uncharacteristic. Up stepped Anca Zijlstra. This time, eventually, job

:24:58.:25:09.

done. And back in the men's draw this evening, the silencer is making

:25:10.:25:15.

noise again. The Canadian, Jeff Smith, through comfortably against

:25:16.:25:15.

Matthew Medhurst. Some of the big guns then had tough

:25:16.:25:25.

matches today. None more so than Tony O'Shea, who drew in the-form

:25:26.:25:31.

Jim Williams. Here is how this one finished up. He cherishes his hopes,

:25:32.:25:38.

but Williams with the darts. A nice solid start. He hits the tens, it

:25:39.:25:45.

would put O'Shea under huge pressure. It's not lying nicely.

:25:46.:25:54.

Another set goes the distance. Will it go the same way as the first two?

:25:55.:26:03.

Will it go to Wales? Or can Tony O'Shea find something? He needs to

:26:04.:26:11.

find the treble 20. Rchld the winner of this could be #4e9ding towards a

:26:12.:26:17.

second round -- could be heading towards a second round match with

:26:18.:26:27.

the Dutchman. Looking as though it's going to way of the Welshman at the

:26:28.:26:29.

moment. But so is this. That's one out of

:26:30.:26:48.

the bet. That was a... How unlucky is that?! 140 when he comes back.

:26:49.:26:57.

O'Shea, looking at a very small target, trying to adjust to get the

:26:58.:27:04.

treble 18. Match point again. Another treble 20 for double ten for

:27:05.:27:09.

the match. This is a match dart for Jim Williams, the isth seed. What a

:27:10.:27:16.

way to do it! He had knocked out Tony O'Shea, one of the Lakeside's

:27:17.:27:27.

true gentlemen. So, the Silverback gone, and was another giant going to

:27:28.:27:33.

fall? Darryl Fitton is taking on Dennis Harbour. This one down to the

:27:34.:27:38.

wire. We join it at two sets all, and three

:27:39.:27:48.

Well, Harbour will be buoyed by that, no question about it. The

:27:49.:27:58.

ninth time he hit double top in this match.

:27:59.:28:08.

He he smips the punishments and he is still in. Still afloat, you could

:28:09.:28:13.

say. So once again, a reminder, you god

:28:14.:28:32.

to win by two clear legs, until five all, when we'll talk again.

:28:33.:28:38.

Nothing between these two lads, really. Right the way through the

:28:39.:28:40.

match. Looked as though it was going to be

:28:41.:28:47.

a close one on paper, and so it's Harbour with those ranking titles to

:28:48.:29:04.

his name this year, but somewhat belie his world ranking of 23 with

:29:05.:29:10.

the BDO. And Darryl Fitton, so much experience, but under huge pressure

:29:11.:29:11.

here in the first round. He's had that dart for the match.

:29:12.:29:35.

Got to be forgotten now. He didn't need that, I tell you. On debut, in

:29:36.:29:44.

2003, Darryl Fitton walked a 1-year-old James Wade, miss, I was

:29:45.:29:50.

going to say nine, in fact, it was ten match darts before hitting back

:29:51.:29:58.

with a 145, for a 3-2 win. Extraordinary match. Still down to

:29:59.:30:03.

finishes. Fitton with the throw. Good

:30:04.:30:13.

A bit unlucky with the last one. But 6 not bad. Options on the 19s.

:30:14.:30:26.

He may well choose to go the 19 route when he returns. Outstanding

:30:27.:30:34.

from Harbour. He puts more pressure on the Fitton throw now. If he

:30:35.:30:42.

misses one of these trel, he'll leave a bull's-eye. Double six to

:30:43.:30:50.

move ahead again. Oohs and aahs from the crowd, living every moment as

:30:51.:30:54.

the two players. Harbour to take this leg against the darts. 76.

:30:55.:31:02.

A single 18 would now. This is for the leg... 61. He

:31:03.:31:21.

miscalculated there. I'm pretty sure he miscalculated. That was tops for

:31:22.:31:25.

the leg and the penny is now dropping. How on earth did you do

:31:26.:31:33.

that, he says. Extraordinary. Is he going to go straight for the double

:31:34.:31:34.

three? So, one for double one... Well, Fitton makes him pay. And

:31:35.:31:50.

comes home and wins that leg. And now, Harbour, once more, in the

:31:51.:31:57.

position of having to do it. Fitton in the madhouse! A double one! When

:31:58.:32:03.

you're playing Dennis Harbour when a match is this tight, any port in a

:32:04.:32:04.

storm. Throwing angry there. He he double tops for it. And

:32:05.:32:22.

somewhere in his head, he got it into there that he needed the

:32:23.:32:26.

bull's-eye. He went for the bull's-eye and got a 250. The

:32:27.:32:31.

aarithmetic was wrong and Fitton hit him.

:32:32.:32:46.

Well, we're just finding out, it wasn't Dennis Harbour's fault. We

:32:47.:33:19.

were right. Our jackets were right. He only had 76 to go, but on the

:33:20.:33:27.

floor, he said 86. So, he did, in his mind, and on the scoreboard, had

:33:28.:33:30.

50 points left for the leg. his mind, and on the scoreboard, had

:33:31.:33:36.

if that is going to cost him dear. He would be a bit of an angry man if

:33:37.:33:42.

that's true. Our understanding of it, he was going according to what

:33:43.:33:45.

he understood to be the remaining target. If he loses his leg, he's

:33:46.:33:47.

going to be furious. Oh, he needed another treble to leaf

:33:48.:34:01.

himself a finish. So Darryl, six darts from 221.

:34:02.:34:04.

Well, he is annoyed with that last one, but he is poised on a potential

:34:05.:34:20.

two-dart checkout. He'll come back, throwing, for the

:34:21.:34:33.

match. He missed one dart at double 18 already for the match. But here

:34:34.:34:44.

he is, 96 points away. He starts with a treble 20, back at double 18

:34:45.:34:53.

for the match. What a marker! No! , can you believe it?! He looked as

:34:54.:34:58.

though he done the hard work. Couldn't be done. And now, Harbour,

:34:59.:35:06.

a must-get. 74. Single 20 leaves tops. It's hot wouck work.

:35:07.:35:18.

And Fitton once more double 18 for the match.

:35:19.:35:30.

For the fourth time of asking... Darryl Fitton aims as two 18s for a

:35:31.:35:39.

place in the second round. So three for double 16 he needs now.

:35:40.:35:47.

No, no, no! His wife can hardly bear to watch. Dennis Harbour now, to

:35:48.:36:01.

keep his chances alive. Double ten. What is going through his mind,

:36:02.:36:07.

Darryl Fitton? Five match darts all missed. And

:36:08.:36:44.

Dennis Harbour, he will be thinking that, to that evening in 2003, when

:36:45.:36:50.

James Wade missed ten match darts to let him in, and let him win, Darryl,

:36:51.:36:58.

Darryl, Darryl. Five match darts, Darryl Fitton has had, and hasn't be

:36:59.:37:07.

Could have easier said than done. Still, in a situation where either

it's a sudden death leg. He is looking for his seventh

:38:46.:39:07.

Treble 18 for double 18. He stayed at the

:39:08.:39:11.

He'll now aim at the treble 10 and get that, and pressure the 25. Put

huge pressure on the 25. A great visit from Harbour. Two darts at it.

:39:21.:39:30.

Got to be a good marker, surely! , he manages to squeak it in. He goes

hold. Well, 44 is not what Fitton would have wanted. Harbour in pole

position. Nothing between these two guys.

:40:16.:40:32.

Fitton's average is slightly higher, but look at the checkouts. So often

what determines the courses of matches and

:40:38.:40:43.

Take your hat off the Dennis Harbour because the crowd, for much of this,

:40:44.:41:02.

has been with Fitton, but he's just hung in there. That is unlucky,

:41:03.:41:07.

really unlucky. At this stage of the match as well. A bounce out. He'll

:41:08.:41:13.

feel that 60 points on the floor. And Darryl will feel it's an

:41:14.:41:14.

opportunity. , not lining well, that one. He had

:41:15.:41:24.

to come across. And he is moving again the 18, I think. It's an

:41:25.:41:31.

opportunity he didn't take. The lie of the darts completely stitched him

:41:32.:41:32.

up there. So, he's on 136. Darryl's wife,

:41:33.:41:55.

bellowing her encouragement. Great dart and he is building on it. What

:41:56.:41:59.

a time to do that!! LAUGHTER

:42:00.:42:04.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. From Darryl Fitton.

:42:05.:42:13.

136 under all sorts of pressure to stay alive. Can't be done now.

:42:14.:42:25.

You think in Darryl Fitton will have at least one more. Having already

missed five. Comth the hour, cometh the man. Is he going to get it right

here? And now, Fitton, 86 for the match. 18 would leave him

bull's-eye. Bull's-eye for the match. And he's missed it! And

:42:46.:42:48.

missed it from a distance. He's been so steady. At the top of

the board. Dennis Harbour... And there it's gouling, for the Ten

time. We are going all the way. This is how it works. , suddenth time.

:43:15.:43:22.

So, they throw for the bull. If it's in the bull. The second guy can ask

:43:23.:43:29.

for it to be removed, to give him the chance. The best attempt at bull

:43:30.:43:33.

here, and they will continue So, a centre bull for Fitton. And he

:43:34.:43:43.

would have the dart, an outer, we carry on. That means that Harbour

:43:44.:43:52.

has the dart. Sixth missed match darts. For Darryl Fitton. Dennis

Harbour has the darts, whoever wins this leg wins the match. It doesn't

going to hold? What a battle it's been. Not in highest scores, but

:44:13.:44:22.

tension right the way through. And now, it comes down to this.

:44:23.:44:27.

What a last dart! Every dart matters so much now.

:44:28.:44:33.

Good start from Fitton. Wants to follow it in. Wants at least one

:44:34.:44:46.

more in the red bit and gets it! So early advantage to Fitton but not

:45:37.:45:40.

Harbour scoring like that! He is on a finish.

:45:41.:45:47.

Well, it would be a fitting end to the match. A 161.

:45:48.:45:54.

, so can he do it? He's got six darts from here, because Fitton is

:45:55.:46:04.

not on a finish. He doesn't have to checkout this time, he can just move

:46:05.:46:09.

himself into a perhaps almost invincible position. Treble 17. So

now, he just sets it up, invincible position. Treble 17. So

:46:12.:46:15.

to see what Fitton can deliver. How about that?

:46:16.:46:20.

Well, for the first time, possibly all match, we have a firm favourite.

:46:21.:46:32.

Darryl Fitton missed six darts win this match. For the first time,

:46:33.:46:39.

Dennis Harbour has a match dart. And it's a double 12.

:46:40.:46:47.

No! Small adjustment. Good marker. Oh, no he has to go across to the

:46:48.:46:59.

other side of the board. Double six. Great dart! ! And what a tussle

:47:00.:47:07.

Darryl Fitton will feel that he's thrown that one away. He had a match

ultimately triumphs in sudden death, and now, having been so cool, so

seeds, Darryl Fitton. Indeed, what a day for Dennis. And Craig Caldwell

won his qualifying in fine style. He'll face Ted Hankey tomorrow,

And awin for the American, Larry Butler. And he negotiated his way
