fancy your chances against an estate to? She has been in great

form after returning. Five tournament wins and two finals.

Came the two late to be seeded. This is for the first leg of the

final. 20, leave stops. Unlucky. Quite a distance away. Under real

pressure now for the Russian. Bending the wire. Knocked down to

the finish. No possible outshot. She could hit a 140 year. That

could make life interesting. Not what she wanted first and foremost.

Anastasia Dobromyslova with a lot to think about. Now fives. The

Russian fine for a double. The first two sets will be crowned

Dobromyslova is in the mood to deliver that. Deta Hedman, you

require 25. It has not been an express leg by any stretch of the

imagination. Third leg, it is Anastasia Dobromyslova to throw

first. If she just concentrates on holding the sets. It could easily

be Anastasia Dobromyslova's here. It is a very short format. The best

of the three-set final. A sort of could prove costly. We mentioned

that extraordinary semifinal. 11 legs with the throw. Anastasia

did not flow with any freedom at all. Anastasia Dobromyslova for she

has got it. A NASA server for the wonder who they want to win? They

are just here for the fun. She will like the 180, I am sure. Now then,

Hedman is struggling to keep pace. Unless she can get in a trouble.

She struggled with her doubles early on in the semifinal. But then

she barely missed. She will have darts for the set. Whatever Deta

Hedman does here. Certainly not good enough. It is 80 now for the

27-year-old. Double top for the set. She will focus on that double top.

140 will be perfect. That is the second dart for the set. That is

the third she has missed. We have had two breaks to throw. Could this

be the key break for Deta Hedman. She has hacked segment -- hit

number one seed has struck. Right into the slot it goes. Beautiful

double 16. If you want to whistle while they are throwing, the car

Deta Hedman was nowhere in the deciding leg. Even with two darts

left. No problem. Look at those percentages. Three out of six, that

is where Deta Hedman is putting her stand. Anastasia Dobromyslova at

from Tony Martin. He will not like what he is seeing. Tony Martin,

Anastasia Dobromyslova's husband. A darts player himself. He lost to

Simon what lock. Support for Deta Hedman. I am sure there will be a

number of darts fans around the world keeping their fingers crossed

for Deta Hedman. But Anastasia Deta Hedman could put some pressure

on here. Anastasia Dobromyslova has been struggling with the doubles. A

fantastic last dart. This is where Anastasia Dobromyslova has

struggled. Sixteens, two of them she wants. She is not hitting her

doubles at the moment. She could write Deta Hedman off. A great

first dart. Single 18. Needs a Bull's eye for a 2-0 lead. You

could just feel the agony. Still cannot buy a double. She has missed

Deta Hedman will be cross with that. It was just the leg with the darts.

Eventually, Anastasia Dobromyslova would have to hit a double,

wouldn't she? It is serious business. Before she hit that, it

that will not be enough. Could give Anastasia Dobromyslova a bit of

heart. They are a little bit convinced that Deta Hedman is going

to be top dog in this one. That is why. A 140 just when she needed it.

Just when she was under pressure. She did it previously when she hits

that 180 at just the right time. lovely rhythm. She might have

caught her hair on the Dart. Like a golfer at the top of their swing.

Worth doing. She caught her hair. Anastasia Dobromyslova has taken

precautions against that. Two tops for head of men -- Deta Hedman. She

has missed counted here. She actually wanted 42. I think she has

looked at the scorer and his explaining exactly what she has

done. In this match that is possibly going to cost her. Never

seen that before. Nine, double 16 to make her pay. She has made her

pay. There is the Russian's swagger back. If looks could kill.

Anastasia Dobromyslova would be called the a stash -- assassin. I

have never seen in a World Championship match the scoreboards

S42 and the player aims to double 16. -- the scoreboard it says 42.

Understandable in the conditions. You just do not see it that often.

The referee is not allowed to say anything. He just has to stand and

watch. If a player asks then he could have given affirmative. It is

like cricketers being out unless there is a peal -- an appeal.

Martin thinks the momentum is swinging Anastasia Dobromyslova's

way. It could be a seismic shift. Now she has got to put everything

into it. Lucky for her she is a vastly experienced player. This is

her first World Championship final. Third time here. Two semifinal

defeat. Now I final. It does not seem to be a stage where she

produces her best darts on. Anastasia Dobromyslova will know

that. I do not think her work commitments have helped her. This

week she had a week off to get herself in top condition. It has

helped to with her darts and allowed her to play more. Anastasia

Dobromyslova is a full-time darts player. Has not got a worry about

sorting out to Christmas mail in the run-up to the World

Championships. Only first class starts. Anastasia Dobromyslova, you

require 148. Deta Hedman, you require 100. Hopefully she will not

miss count on this. That leaves double top. Highest checkout of a

she had the brain freeze early enough in the set that she could do

something about it. Did you ever doubt that she would commit to that

100? Never. We loved every minute afterwards. Deta Hedman is still

comfortably clear of Anastasia Dobromyslova. 45. Here is a chance

for Anastasia Dobromyslova to put some pressure, and she has done

exactly that. It is her fifth one 40 of the match. What an unlucky

deflection. Covered up nicely. She is reliant on the Russian to

produce a loose throw. That is not happening. Really good scrapping

from Anastasia Dobromyslova. She has won a world title. Deta Hedman

was a what Master in 1994. There was no-one men's championship then.

That was a top women's trophy in the world. -- no women. That will

be to make the set. Anastasia Dobromyslova 120. It made it very

tricky to do that. Double top now. She will put her name on this

famous trophy. She needs treble 20, a single 20 and double 20. She

still needs the treble. An unlucky deflection. And a stage show you

require 20. This is for the 20. A double five for Anastasia

Dobromyslova. She won that leg. She was on the brink of losing the

final. She threw tremendous stroke Darts, 140. A nervous finish.

crowd is getting the final that they wanted here. A close contest.

Fabulous starts and now down to this final set now. The rhythmical

Deta Hedman will not be rushed. She will play at her own pace and

Tyrone game. Anastasia Dobromyslova, the big hit keener Russian has four

it had -- the big hitting it Russian, has had a few doubles. She

was under pressure early on as someone shouted out, you could see

that she was not amused. I don't think that the announcer is very

happy either, looking at someone with a steely glare in the audience.

It is a good call for strictly come Dancing, not strictly come darting.

And approval from Sharon Adams, she also picked up three darts for the

first time ever and threw them at the board. She does not normally

play. What if you score? I forget, but it was more than me. -- what

did she score? Normally, Sharon Adams has a weekend of agony to

look forward to. In a funny way, she can relax. I wonder if either

of these two are relaxed up there. You rather sense that they are not.

They are keeping their cool at the moment. Deta Hedman had a very nice

checkout as her fingers are crossed for Anastasia Dobromyslova. She

cannot finish, Sheikh must apply pressure or reduce aid broken

Dobromyslova you require 90. Treble 15 for Deta Hedman. Deta Hedman now

That is the way she's going. -- 16 for double 16. This is for a break

of throw. Another one. Anastasia Dobromyslova, you require 16.

Hedman has had her chances. In the end, Anastasia Dobromyslova secures.

A good last start to hold the throw. Deta Hedman did have chances to

break. -- a good at last dart. It is the first to three legs. Both

players will throw for the Bull's eye. These will be for the right to

throw first in the deciding leg. have seen finals on this lakeside

stage decided in sudden death fashion before. 20 years ago in the

men's tournament, Phil Taylor and Mike Gregory battled it all out to

lakeside stage. A good first dart. Double 19. It was deflected the

wrong way. It can be done in two darts. If the first one hits treble

20, it will be treble 11. A Bulls side to hold the throne. -- a

bull's-eye. This is another one that does not go into the raid be

it. To the top of the board, Anastasia Dobromyslova. She fires.

Now this match has swung round. From a set down, she is now a Lego

away from her second World Championships. -- eight leg away.

Anastasia Dobromyslova is doing the same here. 41. �10,000 for the

winner. �2,000 for the runner-up. It is a big difference in prize-

money. It adds to the pressure that the women are feeling. Deta Hedman

blocked it. She is already 120 points behind. Now 128 points

behind. That could be a bonus. It could be far worse. Just not

happening for her. Ever since that 100 checkout to a level that second

set. Apart from that, it has not happened for her. It has been a

brain freeze to go for 142. If she took out that 100 she would be the

world champion Deta Hedman. Her husband and her partner brought a

balloon for her. Ton or 40 at just the right time. Deta Hedman must

school be to pressure it. -- score beak. A poor side for Anastasia

Dobromyslova. She has done it. She has finished it. The champion for

2008 is now a double world champion. She has won a 2012. Was a way to

come back to women starts. Anastasia Dobromyslova has won the

title, mix it with the man and now he's back to win against the women.

Well done for a thrilling world party led by the managing director

and proprietor of Lakeside accompanied by the chief executive

am honest. I really respect deterred. She beat me the last

couple of times. It was a hard game because I was playing against my

friend. Your husband was living every arrow. The director was

trying to find him. I think he was hiding at one stage because he was

going through it with you. probably did not want the same

result as last night. Did that they won a little bit? The fact that a

few people thought he might have tried to slow the game down

yesterday? Did that give you some motivation today? I just played my

game. For whatever reason, people thought I should have lost, I just

played my game and on the day and I was better. When you levelled at

one all, you must have thought, now I'm back, I can definitely do this.

I thought I am back. It is a little break for me. I can't describe it.

are starting off brilliantly, they were dragged down by the weight of

darts without a care in the war world -- world. There is an

opportunity now for Alan Norris. That treble was quite handy for him.

10 double 8. Alan Norris came after the break -- came out after the

break firing. I wonder whether Alan Norris is having problems with his

back. He is requiring hit patches to be put onto his back. Do you

think that the breakout seemed to recover? Does he struggle more

because of that bad back? As we progressed through the match, he

said it was more in the shoulder. Forget about your back and get on

with it. He said it was very interesting trying to get out of

bed the night after his big match. He said it that he had a lot of

trouble doing it, and I said that you were not the only one. Making

no impression on 154. That is his first big finish since he writes up

the second set -- wraps up. Even if they jest MIS 180, it is just a

fraction. -- even if they miss. Look at these. 180 is everywhere.

So 78, treble 18. He is OK. Alan Norris, 245. If Christian Kist

takes up that double 12, it will be difficult. He can't afford to lose

it. 13 darts Fort Christian Kist to take the lead. This now ports Alan

Norris under pressure. What's a good game. -- what. A chance now,

only 68 in a high-scoring match. You are trying to hold your throw

it may be not be enough. This is where he must make a move. He is

making it difficult for himself, only 59. He took six starts. A

great shot to leave him on a finish. 167. 57. Christian you require 157.

in the tournament so far. Christian Kist is two ahead. He has had 18 in

this match so far. That shows you class when you can get cover shots

like that. He is a road worker and build a bypass back to Holland in a

few weeks. That was his former career. He has been in Spain for

three years. He knows all about the bull. Alan Norris will throw a

first. He just can't shake Christian Kist a way. He cannot

break clear. Christian Kist keeps coming back. He has to win. He

skyrocketed the averages. Christian Kist has 56% of the doubles. Still

a 94% average. Alan Norris has a 92% average. That shows how could

be scoring ears. You just have to miss a couple and it is surprising.

that year when he won the championships. Doing so well under

little bit sorry for Alan Norris, a 92% average and a few sets down.

The reason is that his father choked under the pressure of a

double. It looks like it is a set time. I really hope not. I would

like to see Alan Norris take it all the way. This is for the match. 20

double top. And he has got it. incredible. He is into the

semifinals. This is his lakeside debut. He may not keep it a lift

back home from Alan Norris, but he can afford his own taxi. What a

champion in waiting this guy could be. Well it is always pure box-

office where Ted Hankey is concerned. After his win against

Scott weight, he arrives in confidence for his match again

Martin Atkins. -- against. 134. 89. We have had eight legs in the match

so far. Eight in a row and some to throw. Interestingly now, only five

points overall difference in the averages. The scoring power of both

players has a lot to go. Ted Hankey 85%, Martin Atkins 90%. He started

to miss now. He is playing a steady game from start to finish. After

knockout. He held records, but he doesn't mind mixing it in close,

and that is what he has been doing this week. Anyone that says, "You

just played a board" is a fool. He plays the opponents. You do enough

to beat your opponent. If you can beat them at their own game, that's

how you win a game of darts. That's how you win a leg of darts. Game on.

Now, this is a big leg. Atkins away first. If he holds he'll level the

match at one set all. There's always pressure to hold at 2-2,

especially when you lose the first set. He started out alright. And

that is 27. He could have well done without that at this moment. Martin

Atkins, you have to say to yourself,, "How does he come up

with anything to pressurise my throw? Is his scoring powerful

enough to take a stronghold of a leg?"" you'd have to say no. They

are over halfway through the leg, there's no separating them.

dear, only 60. It's a sign to put in a 140, it's time. That's your

experience set of three darts. Drawing on the reservoirs of

experience. Single 20 now. Double 5 instead. Everything looked perfect.

20 leads top. This is for the set, to level the match. Under all sorts

of pressure. He's ow of practice. - - he's out of practice. It's the

pressure. Ted Hankey is feeling the pressure too. This time maybe. It's

where the reservoirs of experience. Good one to Ted Hankey, marching

off the stage, two sets up against Martin Atkins. Saying, "I'm closer

to you to the semi-- I'm closer than you to the semifinals". Ted

Hankey with the darts. First of five remember, through to the

semifinals. Ted Hankey is having a stroll and a walk to see if he can

put another two into that. Might have been better to switch. He

pulled up his trousers and gave his shoulders a role, straight back

into it again. So little between the two players. It wouldn't take

much for Martin Atkins to get back into the game, unless - what a fine

darts player he is. That in his first 180 of the match. We are

about to see a few more. There's still plenty in it. He won't care

how he wins, as long as he does win. He plays the mat rather than the

ball. That indicates to me that he doesn't believe in his own talent

quite as much. He can't quite believe he has done that. That is

63 scored. It's a wonderful cover. All Atkins can do is pile on

pressure. That's what he's doing. He's on the phone,. He can make him

pay for that now. Once again doing just enough. Living dangerously.

Six out of six. Nice throw. perfect chance. The last dart

aiming for double 16. The double 7 is an arm that is far too tense and

not relaxed enough. He smashed at it. He can't keep his eyes off this

one. We've had 11 legs of darts and great darts supporter. It's a good

excuse. Perhaps he didn't take advantage then. He's left himself

on the finish. There could have been a much better finish.

would think he's done it deliberately. You'd think he'd be

used to exhibitions all the time. He's used to hitting them. Off the

wire it came. It was all over the shop. Still, Martin Atkins with the

show. He can't afford to be broken here. A chance for Ted Hankey. He

has to find the treble 20 bed. He's not happy. Lights, the heat. He

didn't look at Ted Hankey, he just focused on the score board. I'm not

sure if Tom Jones summoned that stage, but it's certainly, "Not

unusual" for Ted to be up there. Bullseye for atkm/h. Still on. That

was going straight in there. needs double 2, he does need it.

He's done just enough, once again. Such a close contest with Martin

Atkins finding himself 2-0 down. needs a few doubles. It's no

laughing matter for the other player there. Defending here. Both

are dragging each other down. I don't know about golden balls, but

we need some golden darts. Who is he talking to. Picking his dart up.

If he's talking to himself, he's not listening. Four visits for Ted

Hankey, trying for the set. So far it's 43, 41, 41. That was the 200th

180 in the tournament. Ted can't believe it. He's got all the rotten

luck in the world. He's got to break him here. Ted Hankey back on

237. He wasn't really caring at all. That's exactly what the assassin

ordered. You won't have a an easier leg all year, certainly not against

the darts. He doesn't throw the bats into the crowd any more.

lost the cape, the bat. The only thing that remains is mum and dad -

ever constant at every tournament. It's the famous stage, but they all

work so hard to play on. That's our man. Taking out all the doubles for

you. Reactions like lightning. Ted Hankey on a finish. This is for a

3-set lead. Here we go. Several 14s. Just have to adjust a little dit.

It's not really add -- a little bit. It's not really adding up clear.

He's a long way clear. 20 for double 16, or 12 for tops. Yes. Two

sets away now, Ted Hankey. For a place in the semifinal. Has Martin

Atkins got an answer? Not at the moment. Swapped away. His ninth

quarterfinal. It's one of theeesiest so far, despite throwing

sloppy darts in stages. Nothing sloppy about those. Martin Atkins

up, down, through the middle. Ted Hankey slotting them in nicely.

Gets himself a 140 finish. It's 170 to win the title. Having a nice

hour of darts. It's great to see. Another treble for Martin Atkins to

pressure the 90s. Well done. This is for a break of throw. He's

trying to pull double top. He's double 10. Any way you like.

Brilliant. The brilliance of Ted Hankey. It's illuminating. I'm not

quite sure if it's the third. Yes, it is. He said, "Oh, is it my turn

to throw first? OK then, thanks." You don't think he did that

deliberately, do you? Rare first- time finish. 90% for Atkins on his

doubles. 0.5. Speaking to Martin Atkins before the match and we were

saying, you know, for the first time, "I acquitted myself well on

the Lakeside stage.", "I was desperate to do that and it's the

Friday." It he looks like a man who was satisfied. Never be satisfied

until the second Sunday night when you have silverware on your hand.

If he loses this match from here you'll wonder how he could let it

get to that stage. Despite the odd flashes, he is easily beatable if

you can swing consistent darts together. When it gets to a brawl

up on the Lakeside stage, there are few better than Ted Hankey. I'm not

saying there's bad feeg at all. Not a brawl -- feeling at all, not a

brawl like that, a darting brawl. That's what he has to do. Not point

hitting the 140 if you don't take out the 61. You make it easier for

yourself. Hasn't done enough legs so far. Sara is still nervous.

would you living with Ted Hankey. He's forced his way back into this

set now. Oh, dear, only 81. Ted Hankey with back to back 140s. He's

turning up the heat. Just drives in enough in this leg to remind him

what he could be dealing against when he's in the mood. With the

last leg, Ted Hankey could break back. Tops for Ted Hankey.

Brilliant. Leaves him on the brink of a 4-0 lead, and he has the darts.

And he's back in the treble 20 bed. You can punch Martin Atkins very

hard in the stomach at the moment, and it wouldn't hurt as much as the

last 14 darts of Ted Hankey would have hurt him. Sparkling stuff from

the double World Champion. Just when Martin Atkins thinks I will

throw myself back into contention, it's like someone flicked a switch

in his brain, everything stews together and he remembers. He's

hard to beat. You feel that he'll do just enough. He did it in Round

1, Round 2 and is doing it tonight. He's not running a marathon, it's

not like he's got to preserve energy here. I've never seen him

wear trainers or attempt to run a marathon. He should go out and play

to the best of his ability, send out a warning sign. It is Friday

the 13th, his lucky day, isn't it. Ted Hankey, and Mrs Ted Hankey. I

tell you what, Martin Atkins looks like he could do with someone

passing him a hangy. Any more of this and he'll be wiped out. He

those numbers where there's no possible outshot. So much force in

the last dart. He's not finding a rhythm at all. Single 20, double 20

for the set. It's like someone has just nicked mum's bingo money the

way mum reacted there. Single now for Martin Atkins. Bullseye. It is

for hanky. It's going according to plan. Ted Hankey finds the double 5,

and he's one set away from what he needs to reach the semifinal. Ted

Hankey leads 4-0. He's never won a quarterfinal without dropping a set.

He has been on the receiving end of a comeback. A couple of years ago

match. Both players losing power on their scoring. Good times for Ted

Hankey to get a 180. A lovely time to follow it as well. The darts in

the set makes life comfortable as well, doesn't it. 65 and 324. He

may as well have a little lie down on the sofa. That's how comfortable

it is in this set. Six darts. From 65, double 10. We'll be back.

Interesting he didn't go 25 tops. He obviously feels comfortable

around double 10. Can't sit still, pacing around. Ted Hankey wins

another one. So far it is the procession from hanky. Has Atkins

got any after. This isn't the Martin Atkins we saw in the first

two rounds. He's not as if van de Wiel played worse. They don't have

the same form. Martin Atkins managed to find it. Maybe she is

lucky Liz. If he wins the leg he has to find a way to get past the

Ted Hankey defences. Here is another one. There's no hidden

nightmares in 126. That's unlucky. Not only is it a bit unlucky, it's

dropped down a little box. The referee out to retrieve it. Only a

willing with the darts for Martin Atkins. It doesn't take a lot.

doesn't take a lot to upset Ted Hankey, but that will do it. He has

the weight of the world against him. He's trying to laugh it off. 39 and

42. It's a big chance for Martin Atkins. He's found his first dart

and the second. Can Martin Atkins breach the Ted Hankey defences.

He's brought the military arsenal. Ted Hankey is developing his castle

with liquid blamange at the moment. Is this what we need for a turning

point? Alright, that's because he hasn't left. Ted Hankey on 23, but

not for long. That's OK from Atkins. 68. Two dart checkout. He's got to

make a good impression. It's treble 20 for double four, to break the

throw. 25 leads double top. Treble 19 leads double 4. Oh, he's on the

board now. Martin Atkins. That's the sort of finish. Turns up. Finds

the target. He took a gamble. If he missed the treble. He would have

been on a double. Suddenly the real Martin Atkins is starting to turn

up. Ted Hankey struggling to find the treble. One treble with six

darts this leg so far. Good. It's from here that Martin Atkins has

the control. Loves to get down to a two dart shot. Close, but no banana.

First set of the match. He had chances that he hasn't taken.

Treble 20, double 18. If he can convert, but I don't think the

second one is. Treble 20. Can't be done. That was a little casual from

Ted Hankey. Ted Hankey chatting, Martin Atkins focused. He's got a

double 10. No time to celebrate on stage. The Hankey family thought it

might be time to put the kettle on for a cup of cocoa, has a bit more

time to watch the darts. If he can fold here, he'll need to break

again. Small steps. Two legs away from the match. It all looks a

different game at the moment. Even though hanky is not in that much

bother, he's on the receiving end. If he can win this or the next step,

he'll be very much on target. That's a good sign to throw in a

140. 90 when he returns. 101 away from a break of throw. Oh, dear.

He's a little bit too low down on his next target as well. 52 scores.

20s, 19s, and 18s. Can't be done. Hankey won't care. Martin Atkins

was retrieving his flight that had he's going. That wasn't close.

There's a big shout out. Good dart from Ted Hankey. Almost let Martin

Atkins in. Under pressure. The majority of this match. Ted Hankey

two legs away once again. Treble 20. Covering up Martin Atkins. Heading

to the treble 19. Martin Atkins is not throwing enough so far. Not

what he did on the previous set. It's a good time to start. That's a

good dart. 180. That's what great dart players do. They brush off any

resistance. Double shot. Double 10. He rushs all these. Gives him and

he's completed the job in the next. Martin Atkins bashed straight back

in with it. He lays the darts low like a river meandering through a

gorgeous valley, heading towards the rapids. More like the Euphrates,

meandering through the fiery depths of hell. It's just gentle. And then

he just rushes as we head towards the ongoing rocks and plunges in

dissent. I wish Ted Hankey would take to the fast water a bit more

often. 321 is all he needs. He'll be back. This will be lovely,

however he goes in. Are these the last three darts at Lakeside 2012.

Double 8 for Ted Hankey. With a shake of the head. The Count is

barely troubled as he reaches the last board. It's his lucky day.

Reaching the semifinal for the fourth time at the Lakeside. In the

end, when it came, it was swift and no mercy for Martin Atkins. And
