:03:53. > :03:59.the line-up for the quarterfinals which for our first two players

:03:59. > :04:03.means a touch of deja vu because Garry Thompson took on a young

:04:03. > :04:10.Dutchman by the name of Jan Dekker in a mid-week match that went all

:04:10. > :04:20.the way to a decider. Dekker won on that occasion, will it be the same

:04:20. > :04:21.

:04:21. > :04:31.this time round? First set, first lepg48, it is yan to throw first.

:04:31. > :04:58.

:04:58. > :05:08.he is now. A very high-scoring is January. Jan. All right up 14, 140s

:05:08. > :05:28.

:05:28. > :05:38.Yeah, garry with a double R proving he has more to his name and more to

:05:38. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:22.his game. 17 for tops. He has hit double 17

:06:22. > :06:26.

:06:26. > :06:36.and he can't now finish. Garry Thompson with a chance to nick the

:06:36. > :06:40.

:06:40. > :06:50.first leg against the Dutchman. He has to take out 112 to do it.

:06:50. > :06:52.

:06:52. > :07:02.Jan Dekker requires double 2, double 1. No score. Garry you

:07:02. > :07:04.

:07:04. > :07:14.require 87. A bit nerve wracking these first two. Jan, you require

:07:14. > :07:27.

:07:27. > :07:34.four. Double 2. Double 1. No score. Garry you require first 8. The

:07:34. > :07:40.first leg is not a good one. Five mixed doubles for Jan Dekker in

:07:40. > :07:50.that opening leg. Both players just taking a little time to settle.

:07:50. > :07:50.

:07:50. > :08:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:08:37. > :08:47.As always, no seats available at the Lakeside. 140.

:08:47. > :09:02.

:09:02. > :09:12.(CHEERING) Looking for a good score here, 190

:09:12. > :09:18.

:09:18. > :09:28.before the throw. It will help. They will be coming back. Garry,

:09:28. > :09:45.

:09:45. > :09:49.you require 93. Jan, you require 87. 62. Garry you require 18. Two nines

:09:49. > :09:54.for a Garry Thompson for a two leg lead. Third leg is Jan throwing

:09:54. > :10:01.first. They call him the Recliner these

:10:01. > :10:09.days. 46 years of age. It used to be the Cougar, but he says that has

:10:09. > :10:17.other connotations and he wants nothing the do wit. -- to do with

:10:17. > :10:27.it. He was like a cougar then in letting

:10:27. > :10:36.

:10:36. > :10:46.letting them go. Dekker struggling here. To their obvious

:10:46. > :11:09.

:11:09. > :11:19.set. Garry, you require 185. He can win it with three perfect darts and

:11:19. > :11:26.

:11:26. > :11:36.there it is - not far away. He will be back. 95. Garry, you require 40.

:11:36. > :11:37.

:11:37. > :11:41.Double-top. Set point. And the first set, Garry Thompson.

:11:41. > :11:49.Recliner. Hasn't really got out of third gear but he has not lost a

:11:49. > :11:59.leg. Second set, first leg, it is Garry to throw first. Game on.

:11:59. > :11:59.

:11:59. > :12:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:12:46. > :12:51.Born and bred in west Yorkshire. 137. 134, 137, this is better from

:12:51. > :13:01.both players now. Yes, a little chance to settle in now and, as I

:13:01. > :13:12.

:13:12. > :13:19.say, it is not easy coming out there. 137. 163 is one of those

:13:19. > :13:29.bogey numbers. It can't be taken out with three darts. Jan, you

:13:29. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:40.require 73. So treble 19. Single 14, double-top. 53. Garry, you require

:13:40. > :13:45.

:13:45. > :13:54.87. Treble 17. So 78. 47. Jan, you require 20. For the first leg of

:13:54. > :14:01.the match he has miss seven darts ot a double. The first leg, Jan

:14:01. > :14:10.Dekker. Second leg is Jan to throw first. Game on. They are not

:14:10. > :14:20.stopping for anyone, these two. Straight into it. The nerves will

:14:20. > :14:27.have been disappearing. 180!! a start. That always galvanises

:14:27. > :14:37.Lakeside. They are starting to shake it out now. A good 140 from

:14:37. > :14:45.

:14:45. > :14:49.Dekker. 99. A good leg this from both players. It is one of those

:14:49. > :14:56.things, Tony, isn't it, you frequently see two players

:14:56. > :15:01.struggling or two players play brilliantly - you rarely see one

:15:01. > :15:06.player playing brilliantly and one struggling. These feed off each

:15:06. > :15:09.other. It is a magnificent finish if he can take it out. What can

:15:09. > :15:17.Dekker take out of this - he would like a treble here so he can finish

:15:17. > :15:24.in two darts. 94. Garry, you require 170. To

:15:24. > :15:34.trebles - there is one. Oh, just pushed to it the right-hand side.

:15:34. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:44.Jan, you require 86. Treble 18. 12, so treble 14. Garry, you require

:15:44. > :15:54.100. So coming back for a double-top.

:15:54. > :16:00.

:16:00. > :16:10.Jan, you require 40. Jan Dekker, double-top. A bit nervous. Garry,

:16:10. > :16:11.

:16:11. > :16:18.you require 48. 15 for double 6 for garthom Tom -- Garry Thompson to

:16:18. > :16:23.level the set - no. Jan, you require 20. That is double ten.

:16:23. > :16:33.Game and second leg to Jan Dekker. Third leg it is Garry to throw

:16:33. > :16:35.

:16:35. > :16:39.first, game on. OK, hoping to save this set. He is

:16:39. > :16:47.leading by one set to love. 44 is not the way he would have chosen to

:16:47. > :16:53.start this leg. The winner of three BDO ranking titles, Garry Thompson.

:16:53. > :17:03.99. Scottish Open and Welsh Classic champion of 2008 and the Swedish

:17:03. > :17:22.

:17:23. > :17:28.Open champion of 2012. Jan here will beat Jeffrey. Martin

:17:28. > :17:32.Atkins. Another Yorkshire pair, a great york share pair. They looked

:17:32. > :17:37.at the draw and didn't think that they would be playing their first

:17:37. > :17:47.round matches until Monday. They realised then that they were in

:17:47. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:54.action first up on Sunday afternoon. This is for the set.

:17:54. > :18:04.That is typical for a Yorkshireman. I am one myself and I am always

:18:04. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:18.forgetting. Double-top. Double ten. Game and second set to Jan Dekker.

:18:18. > :18:28.One set apiece. Third, set, first leg it is Jan to throw first. Game

:18:28. > :18:38.

:18:38. > :18:48.on. Game on to the stage with his jacket. It is his trademark, isn't

:18:48. > :18:58.it? That is why he got nicknamed Double Decker. He wants to be

:18:58. > :19:03.

:19:03. > :19:08.sponsored by Black and Decker. If he comes on in that jacket with

:19:08. > :19:14.pumping house music, his favourite songs. Garry, of course, as we

:19:14. > :19:24.mention every year has that glory, glory Garry Thompson song specially

:19:24. > :19:31.

:19:31. > :19:37.written for him by the heavy metal band. And the green, green grass of

:19:37. > :19:43.home is the theme. A significant advantage for Dekker. Not any more

:19:43. > :19:53.120. Hit the bottom of the wire there, you can just see it where it

:19:53. > :19:58.

:19:58. > :20:05.has dented the wire. Garry, you require 121.

:20:05. > :20:13.So, treble 17. He wants the bull, he has to go for is. Oh, unlucky.

:20:13. > :20:23.Jan, you require 135. May go for the bull or 25. He has missed both.

:20:23. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:32.He can't finish now. 95. Garry, you require 25. Double 8, double 4 - he

:20:32. > :20:42.is rushing. Oh, dear. Jan, you require 40. Any mistake here -

:20:42. > :20:43.

:20:43. > :20:49.there is the marker, he can come off the barrel if he wants.

:20:49. > :20:59.Dekker taking the leg. Second leg is Garry to throw first, game on.

:20:59. > :21:13.

:21:13. > :21:23.After winning that first set, Dekker is running away with it now.

:21:23. > :21:25.

:21:25. > :21:35.134. Here we go, here we go - Jan Dekker.

:21:35. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:05.treble to finish, treble 19. Obviously he wants it his own way.

:22:05. > :22:15.This is a good chance for Garry Thompson to stop the rot. He has

:22:15. > :22:15.

:22:15. > :22:22.lost four legs in a row. Thompson eyes up 52. Two 16s, another chance

:22:22. > :22:32.- no. 36. Jan, you require 150. let's see which way he is going to

:22:32. > :22:39.

:22:39. > :22:49.go for this. 86. Garry, you require 1516. Double 8 coming in here, oh,

:22:49. > :23:01.

:23:01. > :23:08.what a shocker. Jan, you require 64. Double 16, double 8. He has it!

:23:08. > :23:18.Second leg, Jan Dekker. The third leg, Jan Dekker to throw first.

:23:18. > :23:21.

:23:21. > :23:27.Game on. Dekker has just won five legs in a row. Garry will know it

:23:27. > :23:34.happens but when you are struggling your heart sinks a little bit

:23:34. > :23:44.further when you see a board fall out of the double 20 and hit the

:23:44. > :23:46.

:23:46. > :23:56.floor - a board! A dart. He is leading 2-1 is Dekker. OK. Nice and

:23:56. > :24:06.

:24:06. > :24:16.easy. 64. Yeah, he took the 64 off and left him 300. 100. Nearly

:24:16. > :24:38.

:24:38. > :24:48.halfway there. 137. 84 left for Thompson, still 200. Garry, you

:24:48. > :24:51.

:24:51. > :25:01.require 84. For his first leg in six. Now, this time Dekker will

:25:01. > :25:04.

:25:04. > :25:14.have 43 for the third set. Double 19 now. Will he double 19? You know

:25:14. > :25:15.

:25:15. > :25:21.what, brilliant. Third leg, Jan Dekker. Fourth set, first leg, it

:25:21. > :25:31.is grry to throw first. Game on. -- Garry to throw first. Game on.

:25:31. > :25:41.missed the drebl 20, straight into the five. You have to say - I think

:25:41. > :25:43.

:25:43. > :25:53.at this stage Garry is not doing anything at all. And Jan Dekker,

:25:53. > :25:55.

:25:55. > :26:01.really, is going to be a quick match. 77. The mark is there, it

:26:01. > :26:11.can get rate through. Pushed the dart in then, and again. Where is

:26:11. > :26:28.

:26:28. > :26:38.your brothers? 92. Jan Dekker, 2-1 up. 180!! He is producing the darts

:26:38. > :26:48.

:26:48. > :26:57.just when they are needed. That is a good shot as well. They are

:26:57. > :27:07.looking glum. 140. Jan, you require 128. Oh, he has missed it. He has

:27:07. > :27:12.

:27:12. > :27:17.missed it! On 64, Garry Thompson takes the lead. Treble 16, double-

:27:17. > :27:24.top. Game and the first leg Garry Thompson. Second leg it is Jan

:27:24. > :27:34.throwing first. The first leg in seven. He lost six in a row after

:27:34. > :27:40.

:27:40. > :27:47.winning the first set 3-0. That will make him feel good. 180!!

:27:47. > :27:57.second of the match. It did give him a shot in the arm, didn't it?

:27:57. > :28:06.

:28:06. > :28:16.That leg win. 41. Here he goes again, look! 101. Jan Dekker has

:28:16. > :28:24.

:28:24. > :28:29.gone off the boil as well. 95, 41. 85. Topsy-turvey. Yeah, Christine

:28:29. > :28:38.is starting to look a little nervous. I am sure he heard that as

:28:38. > :28:48.well. I am sure they held that in Holland. 179, to needs 180 Dekker.

:28:48. > :29:05.

:29:05. > :29:15.He has the advantage of the throw. 39. Garry, you require 140.

:29:15. > :29:18.

:29:18. > :29:24.He can't finish this. So at 86 he will be back. Jan, you require 86.

:29:24. > :29:34.Double 16 - yes!! Game and the second leg Jan Dekker. The ground

:29:34. > :29:40.

:29:40. > :29:50.loves that when he hits the bowl. Garry to play first, game on.

:29:50. > :29:51.

:29:51. > :29:58.Brilliant finishing. Again from Dekker. Frebl and treble and double

:29:58. > :30:05.19 to wrap up the third set. Full double 16 just now. Funny enough,

:30:05. > :30:12.his check-out percentage is pretty poor at 21 darts thrown at a double

:30:12. > :30:22.- on seven hit the target. 140. has had some big finishes, hasn't

:30:22. > :30:45.

:30:45. > :30:55.he? Some finishs that will hurt his opponent. 99. Another treble 18.

:30:55. > :31:03.

:31:03. > :31:10.137. 145 left. 2. Garry, you require 145.

:31:10. > :31:20.Can Dekker on a finish of 170, he has had some big finishes, here is

:31:20. > :31:30.

:31:30. > :31:39.one now. Jan you require 170. Garry, you require 69. So double six,

:31:39. > :31:47.unusual. 57. Jan, you require 74. think he thought he had hit the

:31:47. > :31:57.double 6 with his first dart. 13 for duls eye, duls eye - yes! --

:31:57. > :31:57.

:31:57. > :32:03.bull's-eye - yes, bull's-eye. Dekker. Fourth leg, Jan to throw

:32:03. > :32:13.first, game on. She throwing for the fourth set. And finding the

:32:13. > :32:18.

:32:18. > :32:23.treble 20. 140. You have to feel for Garry, don't

:32:23. > :32:33.you? He came out great in the first lepg, the first set, and then all

:32:33. > :32:35.

:32:35. > :32:39.of a sudden he was being bomb bahted. -- bombarded. Not the

:32:39. > :32:47.weight of score, not even the check-out percentage but it is the

:32:47. > :32:57.way he is finishing them. It is like he opens the door and closes

:32:57. > :32:58.

:32:58. > :33:08.it in a single innings - misses with a first dart and ends up with

:33:08. > :33:12.

:33:12. > :33:22.the last one. He still could get these with a big score here.

:33:22. > :33:22.

:33:23. > :33:29.Garry, you require 124. Bull's-eye. 80. Jan, you require

:33:29. > :33:39.170. Are we going to get a shot here as well - two treble 20s? No,

:33:39. > :33:43.

:33:43. > :33:52.we won't. Garry left himself 44. Garry, you require 44. For the set.

:33:52. > :34:02.Double-top. Double-top and the fourth leg Garry Thompson. What a

:34:02. > :34:12.way to win that one. Fifth leg is Garry to throw first, game on.

:34:12. > :34:51.

:34:51. > :34:59.the issue. This will take the lead 3-1 for Dekker. Of, of course, it

:34:59. > :35:03.will level the match at 2-sets all if Garry Thompson wins it. It is a

:35:03. > :35:11.key leg in the concept of this match. You are right. Thompson with

:35:11. > :35:17.the advantage. Three points plus these - 123 points. Fantastic. What

:35:17. > :35:24.a time for a 171 to leave himself on double 16s for the set. Whatever

:35:24. > :35:32.Dekker does Thompson will have dart for it, to level the match. He is

:35:32. > :35:42.taking his time. Double 8. Don't rush. Yes, he's got it! And the

:35:42. > :35:47.

:35:47. > :35:57.fourth set Garry Thompson. 2-2 now. It is Jan to throw first, game on.

:35:57. > :36:06.

:36:06. > :36:10.Just the advantage of the throw now. That is with Dekker. 140. Garry who

:36:10. > :36:16.took a holiday for Christmas, returned home on new year's eve.

:36:16. > :36:22.Had a big night out, I am told, on new year's eve ch went to work on 2

:36:22. > :36:32.and 3 January and came here on Friday 4th for his match on the 6th.

:36:32. > :37:06.

:37:06. > :37:16.OK. He uses the board, that is for certain. Three scores under 60 from

:37:16. > :37:22.

:37:22. > :37:32.Jan Dekker. He is losing his way a bit here. Can't find the trebles.

:37:32. > :37:39.

:37:39. > :37:49.63. Garry, you require 146. 94. Treble 18 and then to the finish.

:38:13. > :38:21.leg is Garry to throw first. Game on. Back in the lead Garry Thompson.

:38:21. > :38:27.Yes, it looked like he was going out. It just shows you you - don't

:38:27. > :38:33.give in. Won the first set without dropping a leg and then lost six

:38:33. > :38:43.straight legs. Looked like he might be leaving the fourth set as well.

:38:43. > :38:44.

:38:44. > :38:50.Found a way to win it, kind of muscled his way to the fourth set.

:38:50. > :38:56.120. How how they are hitting the metal of the barrels. It was in, it

:38:56. > :39:06.was in it was in - it was out. is not fast enough to run up and

:39:06. > :39:17.

:39:17. > :39:23.stop it. 100. He has had a good start to the leg - 112, 120. Jan

:39:23. > :39:33.Dekker's got a good stance - right foot on the deck. 169 Garry

:39:33. > :39:41.

:39:41. > :39:51.Thompson. 59. Garry Thompson waiting now for three ton, two ton

:40:20. > :40:30.Game shot and the second leg, Garry Thompson. Third leg, Garry to throw

:40:30. > :40:30.

:40:30. > :40:38.first. Game on. Tina was looking forlorn 15-minutes ago. Now she is

:40:38. > :40:42.thinking about another quarterfinal. Garry, twice already a Lakeside

:40:42. > :40:52.quarterfinals. Lost to Martin Adams in 2010 and Jan Dekker, today's

:40:52. > :41:05.

:41:05. > :41:15.component, 5-4, two years ago. I think Jan is going the make a

:41:16. > :41:25.come back, just the same as Garry did. 97. If he loses this leg, he

:41:25. > :41:33.doesn't have any sets to play with. That is a tidy 140 just when he

:41:33. > :41:43.needed it. Applies the pressure, turns the screw. 77. They have both

:41:43. > :41:50.

:41:50. > :42:00.had one out of the board now. don't come back better than a 170,

:42:00. > :42:04.

:42:04. > :42:14.though. Not this time for Jan Dekker. 115. Garry, you require 140.

:42:14. > :42:18.

:42:18. > :42:23.44. Jan, you require 55. Maybe 19 or the 15. Double 18. Fanscys that

:42:23. > :42:33.one. Game shot and the third leg, Jan Dekker. Fourth leg is Garry to

:42:33. > :43:00.

:43:00. > :43:04.throw first. Game on. 140. Good Thompson, throws for a 3-2 lead in

:43:04. > :43:10.set. He looks more confident than Dekker at the moment, I can tell

:43:11. > :43:16.you. He had an odd 2012, Jan Dekker, the first six months of it were

:43:16. > :43:24.exclusively dedicated to finals, not doubles. He graduated in

:43:24. > :43:30.business and economics. He wants to find a serious job, Tony, first,

:43:30. > :43:33.and the darts will continue as a side line. Like I said, he can't do

:43:33. > :43:43.better than he has done in economics. And the financial front

:43:43. > :43:44.

:43:44. > :43:51.as well. I am sure you will be able to give him a job? He can come and

:43:51. > :43:54.be my accountant any day. Exactly. Garry, you require 144. This is for

:43:54. > :44:03.the set, Garry Thompson. Another treble 20 and he left double 12. He

:44:03. > :44:13.be back, though, and he will have darts for the set. 87. High-scoring

:44:13. > :44:18.

:44:18. > :44:28.this one for Dekker. 85 so far. Garry, you require 57.. 17, double-

:44:28. > :44:33.

:44:33. > :44:42.top. Set point, double 19. Jan, you require 139. 19, can't finish. 38

:44:42. > :44:48.on the board to Garry Thompson. Garry, you - Does he go straight

:44:48. > :44:58.for the double 19? That is the one he wants, Dekker has hit it already.

:44:58. > :45:02.

:45:02. > :45:12.Double 18. How about this. To level the set. From two legs down. Game

:45:12. > :45:15.

:45:15. > :45:25.throw and the fourth leg Jan Dekker. Jan to throw first, game on. It is

:45:25. > :45:29.

:45:30. > :45:39.2-2 in this set. Advantage with the throw Dekker. 98. Garry missed four

:45:40. > :45:47.

:45:47. > :45:57.darts for the set. Two of them at double 19. 58. Right down the oche

:45:57. > :46:18.

:46:18. > :46:28.now for the set. 24. Or, he can hit 24 and hand the initiative to Jan

:46:28. > :46:30.

:46:30. > :46:40.Dekker. Who might just take it. They should have got rid of the

:46:40. > :46:50.

:46:50. > :47:00.nerves by now. That is a good one, right in the corner. So 72 left.

:47:00. > :47:07.

:47:07. > :47:13.Treble 12 or - 127. 65 coming back. 180!! Nicely done Garry Thompson

:47:13. > :47:17.applies the pressure to this 55 which we think will be 25. And

:47:17. > :47:27.double-top for the set for Jan Dekker. Double ten. No, his turn to

:47:27. > :47:39.

:47:39. > :47:41.miss. He needs double ten. This is for the set.

:47:42. > :47:50.CHEERING Tina celebrates like he has won the

:47:50. > :48:00.match. He is a set away. Yes, she is very pleased. And so is

:48:00. > :48:02.

:48:02. > :48:09.Garry. Sixth, set, first leg, Garry to throw first. Game on. They been

:48:09. > :48:19.to the watering hole and they are all set now. They are already

:48:19. > :48:19.

:48:19. > :48:27.understood ever pressure. -- under pressure. Here is Jan Dekker.

:48:27. > :48:37.Just one pointless than the 140 by Garry Thompson. Really forcing it

:48:37. > :48:40.

:48:40. > :48:46.now. It has been a strange game, very strange. Hasn't really hit the

:48:46. > :48:50.hype. They have had some very high scores and some very low scores.

:48:50. > :48:56.Garry Thompson was nowhere in that last leg before the 180. And the

:48:56. > :49:00.pressure on Jan Dekker, that is why he missed the darts at the double-

:49:00. > :49:07.top. But Garry no mistake. Look at Jan now. He is the one that needs

:49:07. > :49:13.the set. Take us all the way. We have up to two sets left so let's

:49:13. > :49:18.make sure they are two quality sets. Let's hope these players manage to

:49:18. > :49:28.produce the darts that they are capable of.

:49:28. > :49:32.

:49:32. > :49:42.Garry, you require 110. So treble 18. 52. Jan, you require 8. Double

:49:42. > :49:44.

:49:44. > :49:51.four. Double two. 4. Garry, you require 58. Here is a chance he

:49:51. > :49:57.didn't think he would get. Double- top. Game and the first leg Garry

:49:57. > :50:03.Thompson. Second leg it is Jan throwing first. A chance of

:50:03. > :50:13.breaking the through -- throw through that first set. He is

:50:13. > :50:13.

:50:13. > :50:17.missing so many doubles. They won't be calling him Double Dekker now.

:50:17. > :50:24.It is Thompson who is two legs away from reaching the quarterfinals.

:50:24. > :50:32.But look at that, Tony. They have won ten legs apiece. They have

:50:32. > :50:37.missed 23 darts at a double each but it is about when you hit your

:50:37. > :50:47.doubles. Fortunately for Mr Thompson he hits them at the right

:50:47. > :50:51.

:50:52. > :50:59.time. There has been two 96s in this leg.

:50:59. > :51:05.44. He has been a bit cougar-like, hasn't he? Just hanging around and

:51:05. > :51:13.pouncing at the end of every leg, Garry Thompson. Jan Dekker has been

:51:13. > :51:21.like a pussy cat. Yes, offering up opportunities - All the time.

:51:21. > :51:31.Someone like Garry Thompson doesn't need asking twice. Come on Jan, you

:51:31. > :51:49.

:51:49. > :51:56.can do it. Let's go all the way. Jan, you require 120. Let's see if

:51:56. > :52:06.he can get it. Single 20. He has made it difficult. Double-top and

:52:06. > :52:07.

:52:07. > :52:17.he's got it. Game and the second leg Jan Dekker. Third leg is Garry

:52:17. > :52:19.

:52:19. > :52:29.to throw first. Game on. Still with the advantage of throwing first,

:52:29. > :52:40.

:52:40. > :52:50.Garry Thompson. He is leading 3-2 in sets. 39. You can see the hurt

:52:50. > :52:54.

:52:54. > :52:59.on his face every time he throw as dart that he is disappointed with.#

:52:59. > :53:09.He had a career against the talented Gary Robson, the number

:53:09. > :53:15.

:53:15. > :53:21.tenth seed in the first round. Scrappy, scrappy now. 180!! Nothing

:53:21. > :53:29.scrappy about that. To be honest with you, before the 180 he hit 39

:53:29. > :53:35.and 56. 137. Finally something for Christine to shout about. He has

:53:35. > :53:45.spent the last set and a half biting those beautifully manicureed

:53:45. > :53:46.

:53:46. > :53:56.nails of hers. They are quite nice. 170 on the board for Dekker. Jan,

:53:56. > :54:02.

:54:02. > :54:12.you require 170. Yes, another one, please. I would love to see. This

:54:12. > :54:13.

:54:13. > :54:23.is the boat. Jan, you require 89. So treble 19, a good lead treble 16.

:54:23. > :54:24.

:54:24. > :54:28.Treble 20 for double 5. Double 5, yes. And the third leg Jan Dekker.

:54:28. > :54:37.Great stuff!!! Looks like going all the way at the moment. Fourth leg,

:54:37. > :54:42.Jan to throw first. Game on. and a good start here. Speeded up,

:54:42. > :54:52.definitely. 140. Definitely speeding up, look at him. She the

:54:52. > :55:01.

:55:01. > :55:08.cougar now. Oh, brilliant!! 180!! Oh, what a start to this leg. Oh.

:55:08. > :55:18.Maximum to start the leg from Garry Thompson. We will need some more -

:55:18. > :55:24.yes. Dekker throwing first. Tense, nervous moments. This is for the

:55:24. > :55:29.set, remember. 99. To take us all the way to a decider. It has been

:55:29. > :55:38.that sort of match. You really wouldn't be surprised - in fact you

:55:38. > :55:46.would be surprised if we didn't go to a decider. Blocking that treble

:55:46. > :55:56.and switching to 19s. 567. -- 57. Garry, you require 150. OK, a big

:55:56. > :55:58.

:55:58. > :56:06.finish. The pressure is on Jan Dekker. Jan, you require 148.

:56:06. > :56:16.how. Two treble 20s. He has gone the 18s route. 94. Garry, you

:56:16. > :56:17.

:56:17. > :56:27.require 64. Treble 16. Now he wants to be top, he has hit them. 44. Jan,

:56:27. > :56:35.you require 54. What can Jan do here? Double-top. Yes! He is there.

:56:35. > :56:40.And the sixth set goes to Jan Dekker. We are going to whole way!!

:56:40. > :56:50.Magnificent!! Seventh set, first leg, Jan to throw first. Game on.

:56:50. > :56:54.

:56:54. > :57:04.This is what it is all about! Off we go. First three legs by two

:57:04. > :57:09.clear -- to three leagues by two clear sets. A huge scream of "come

:57:09. > :57:13.on" wasn't there from Christine and Jan's camp just before he threw

:57:13. > :57:23.that dart at double-top, thought it might put him off, but not a bit of

:57:23. > :57:31.

:57:31. > :57:40.it. OK. Looks as though she hasn't stopped jumping up. She might be

:57:40. > :57:47.jumping up again here. 138. What do you reckon, Tony? Who can win from

:57:48. > :57:57.here? It was very close to - mind you, he has hit the wrong 40 there.

:57:58. > :58:05.

:58:05. > :58:14.Having lost that advantage it could go to Dekker. 95. 44. 72. Jan, you

:58:14. > :58:24.require 72. 52 left, single 20. He has one dart to search the best of

:58:24. > :58:30.

:58:30. > :58:40.on the board, double 16. Garry, you require 157. Jan, you require 32.

:58:40. > :58:41.

:58:41. > :58:46.Double 16. Yes. Game, and the first leg, Jan Dekker. The the first time

:58:46. > :58:53.he missed the double 16 was if first time he has missed double 16

:58:53. > :59:03.the whole championship. It has been his strength. It still is. The

:59:03. > :59:14.

:59:14. > :59:24.UMPIRE: 4. -- 84.

:59:24. > :59:46.

:59:46. > :59:50.All of a sudden... More consistency in this match.

:59:50. > :00:00.That does make it exciting, Tony. Oh, definitely. It's been great,

:00:00. > :00:00.

:00:00. > :00:05.great to watch. Gone Yorkshire's way and Holland's

:00:05. > :00:10.way. We don't know which way it will go in the end. Whoever wins

:00:10. > :00:16.this set reaches the quarterfinals. And the other will rue mixed

:00:16. > :00:26.doubles and missed opportunities. This is for a 2-leg lead, treble 20.

:00:26. > :00:52.

:00:52. > :00:59.He can't now finish. Thompson on Dekker. He's the coolest man in the

:00:59. > :01:09.place. Jan Senior. The third leg is Jan to throw first. Game on.

:01:09. > :01:25.

:01:25. > :01:34.Christine wasn't quite so cool. It's been a thriller. Just one leg

:01:34. > :01:44.remaining in the match. 3-3 in sets. 2-love at the moment. For Jan

:01:44. > :01:58.

:01:58. > :02:05.Dekker. But Garry with a chance. A chance in this leg. 140, 99. Kept

:02:05. > :02:12.with Dekker all the way. Left himself 170, has Garry Thompson.

:02:12. > :02:20.Jan Dekker back on 257. Eyeing up the treble 19. Finding the treble

:02:20. > :02:27.19 twice. 134. Very nice switch. Garry, you require 170. Yeah, his

:02:27. > :02:34.dad, William, is anxiously waiting to see him complete the task. 19s,

:02:35. > :02:39.I would think. Yes. Treble 18 leaves the bull... On the 18s. But,

:02:39. > :02:44.now, the moment of truth. Garry, you require 74.

:02:44. > :02:50.Double 16 coming in for Garry. Double eight. He needs it. Can he

:02:50. > :03:00.get it? Oh, no! Is it all over? you require 68. We didn't want it

:03:00. > :03:03.

:03:04. > :03:09.to end. 15. Double two. Oh! He's still there, Garry. Garry, you

:03:09. > :03:13.require eight. You're still there. Double four. Yes! And the third leg,

:03:13. > :03:18.Garry Thompson. Everything's happening!!

:03:18. > :03:22.Fourth leg is Garry to throw first. Game on.

:03:22. > :03:32.Jan Dekker now in that awful position of having to play on,

:03:32. > :03:42.having to start another leg, having missed darts for the match. Only 45.

:03:42. > :03:48.

:03:48. > :03:58.From Thompson, to begin this leg. 100. Coming down straightaway.

:03:58. > :04:07.

:04:07. > :04:13.45, 57. Doesn't help. Well, that's wayward. 44. Just as

:04:13. > :04:23.nervous for his dad. I think the feeling... I don't know how you do

:04:23. > :04:29.

:04:29. > :04:37.on the stage. 42. There we go. Into the twebl 20. Into it twice --

:04:37. > :04:43.treble 20. Into it twice. 180! changes things! That really does

:04:43. > :04:52.change things. The crowd is cheering! It's unbelievable! Garry,

:04:52. > :05:02.you require 122. OK. Well, that's the one. 40. He's coming back, is

:05:02. > :05:04.

:05:04. > :05:13.Garry Thompson. One in. 82. 95. keep the match alive... Garry, you

:05:13. > :05:17.require 82. And he wants now double 16. Game. The match is still alive!

:05:17. > :05:21.One leg away from the tie breaker. Ladies and gentlemen, with the

:05:21. > :05:26.scores three sets all and two legs all, we now move into the tie break.

:05:26. > :05:31.Should the scores reach five legs all, we will play sudden death. The

:05:31. > :05:41.fifth leg, it's Jan to throw first. Game on.

:05:41. > :05:42.

:05:42. > :05:48.Here we go, then. You must win by two clear legs, as we heard our

:05:48. > :05:53.referee explaining, until 5-5. Then they will have a sudden-death tie

:05:53. > :05:58.break leg. Very much deserved to go all the way, this one. Oh. Still

:05:58. > :06:03.have no idea who's gonna take the momentum and who's gonna cross the

:06:03. > :06:09.finishing line with it. Jan Dekker twice was looking at a double for

:06:09. > :06:19.the match. Well, is it the old campaigner, the great Yorkshire

:06:19. > :06:29.stalwart? Or is it the young pretender.

:06:29. > :06:33.

:06:33. > :06:43.56. It's had its ups, it's had its down. 140. A breakthrough comes for

:06:43. > :06:45.

:06:45. > :06:55.Garry Thompson with that 140. 50 points ahead.

:06:55. > :06:56.

:06:56. > :07:05.Two clear legs. Oh, look at this. Leaves 100, after 12 darts. Dekker

:07:05. > :07:13.on 188. Wants another treble here. Wanted to check whether it was in

:07:13. > :07:21.the 20 or the five. He's been told. So he's going down. 137. Good dart.

:07:21. > :07:27.Garry, you require 100. Needed the treble. 60. OK. Jan, you require

:07:27. > :07:32.51.. He went for two doubles there, Garry Thompson. 19 for double 16.

:07:32. > :07:38.Two 16s. He's only missed it once autumn tournament. Needs it now.

:07:38. > :07:43.Finds it! Oh, he's found it! He's a leg away again.

:07:43. > :07:48.UMPIRE: Sixth leg. It's Garry to throw first. Game on. Advantage to

:07:48. > :07:52.Garry. Rushing his darts. 140. There's the double.

:07:53. > :08:00.APPLAUSE And his dad was pleased, wasn't he?

:08:00. > :08:07.Straight up out of his chair. This is looking good as well. 177.

:08:07. > :08:12.140 from Garry. 177 from Jan Dekker. That's pressurised, Garry Thompson.

:08:12. > :08:21.That's really has... Oh, this could be the moment of the match. The 177

:08:21. > :08:31.may have been key. Surely it's coming down... Staying on the 17.

:08:31. > :08:36.

:08:36. > :08:40.56. Keeps it even on 268. 60. the throw. He's nicked the throw,

:08:40. > :08:49.essentially, in this leg. This could be the last leg of the match,

:08:49. > :08:59.remember. Oh. Yes. 80. With that shot, nice pick-up. Still no finish.

:08:59. > :09:03.

:09:03. > :09:12.Yes, that's good. That's good. And the treble, otherwise he wouldn't

:09:12. > :09:19.have been on an out shot. 94. Garry, you require 132. Treble 19 would

:09:19. > :09:25.leave the bull. It's all a fraction away. Treble three! It's all on

:09:25. > :09:32.Dekker. Everything. 94. Options - treble 18 or the bull.

:09:32. > :09:42.19. And now it's the bull. And it's the match! And he takes the match!!

:09:42. > :09:52.What a way to finish!! Oh! Look at his son! Look at his father. Look

:09:52. > :09:57.

:09:57. > :10:00.at his girl! Absolutely brilliant! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:10:00. > :10:04.Jason Cullen arrived here hoping to create a little piece of sporting

:10:04. > :10:08.history by becoming the first player from the Republic of Ireland

:10:08. > :10:13.into a Lakeside quarterfinal. But he was up against a man who reached

:10:13. > :10:21.the last eight 12 months ago, and Paul Jennings was in sparkling form

:10:21. > :10:26.with his first-round match. This one could go all the way.

:10:26. > :10:36.Your commentators include Jim Proudfoot.

:10:36. > :10:43.If he wins, he says he might even become the most famous sporting son.

:10:43. > :10:52.UMPIRE: 81. Currently, that title rests with Kevin Doyle. Very close

:10:52. > :11:01.to where Jason hails from. 24 years of age, is Jason Cullen.

:11:01. > :11:07.Paul is 26. 180! And the other number of note is 180! And Jason

:11:07. > :11:16.responding. Yes. 180! Both players throwing their first max yima of

:11:16. > :11:26.the match. -- maxima of the match.

:11:26. > :11:47.

:11:47. > :11:54.Double 20, double 10, so 20 for tops.

:11:54. > :12:04.40. Half a chance, then for Paul Jennings to go clear in the second

:12:04. > :12:23.

:12:23. > :12:29.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE A 128, if you please!

:12:29. > :12:32.Third leg, Paul to go first. Game on! They had that against Ross

:12:32. > :12:42.Montgomery, back at the weekend. Where he was hitting that kind of

:12:42. > :12:47.finish for fun in quick succession. He's really found his form. 140.

:12:47. > :12:57.Doesn't like the loose third dart, but he will be delighted with the

:12:57. > :13:04.

:13:04. > :13:14.been the frustrating thing for him. Five missed darts at double-top so

:13:14. > :13:29.

:13:29. > :13:39.far. Six now. In the space of the first six legs. 100. 41. Also a

:13:39. > :13:39.

:13:39. > :13:43.keen horse rider, Jason Cullen. Likes hunting. 60. He steered clear

:13:43. > :13:51.of the horses in recent months. Doesn't want to fall off and damage

:13:51. > :13:58.his throwing arm. 85. With the biggest matches of his

:13:58. > :14:08.life coming up. Delighted to reach round two. Can he get further?

:14:08. > :14:12.

:14:12. > :14:22.140. Paul, you require 152. 128 in the last leg. 152, his target now.

:14:22. > :14:26.

:14:26. > :14:30.88. Jason, you require 61. Double 18. One more shot at it.

:14:30. > :14:36.CHEERING Paul, you require 64. Andrea

:14:36. > :14:44.cheering Paul on. Three darts in his hand, 64 on the board, a single

:14:44. > :14:54.16 for double 16. For 2-0. Game on the second set, Paul Jennings.

:14:54. > :15:04.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, can this 24-year-old Irishman

:15:04. > :15:21.

:15:21. > :15:25.mount a comeback from two sets groove. 100.

:15:25. > :15:34.He's thinking of changing his nickname, Jason Cullen. They used

:15:34. > :15:37.to call his grandad 'The Wisiler', and he quite -- 'The whistler'. And

:15:37. > :15:42.he quite fancied that. If you're wondering about the difference

:15:42. > :15:48.between these two players so far, that tells the story. Jenno getting

:15:48. > :15:56.his last four at doubles. Jason just the one so far. He's missed

:15:56. > :16:03.six shots at double-top so far. And as if to further illustrate

:16:03. > :16:08.that point, if you look at the averageness their first nine darts,

:16:09. > :16:14.-- averages in their first nine darts... 140.

:16:14. > :16:18.Well, that's their averages overall, but their averages from the first

:16:18. > :16:24.nine darts sees Jason Cullen considerably ahead of Paul Jennings.

:16:24. > :16:31.It's all about the doubles. Can he take out 101, though? Double 19 for

:16:31. > :16:41.double 12. Could do with hitting this. 89. Paul, you require 160.

:16:41. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:52.Another opening for Paul. 100. Jason, you require 12. Pressure on

:16:52. > :16:58.Jason Cullen, as he looks at double six. Misses with the first two. Oh!

:16:58. > :17:08.Jason! Just letting you down at the moment. Paul, you require 60.

:17:08. > :17:14.

:17:14. > :17:24.for double-tops. Game. Paul Jennings. Four out of four. Second

:17:24. > :17:50.

:17:50. > :17:56.Jennings. 81. Have a look at that - Jason

:17:56. > :18:06.Cullen, with his first nine darts, outscoring Paul Jennings. 139.

:18:06. > :18:08.

:18:08. > :18:12.only he had hit some doubles. You can take the Irishman out of

:18:13. > :18:19.Ireland, but there will always be an Irishman drinking the black

:18:19. > :18:29.stuff. 180!!

:18:29. > :18:30.

:18:30. > :18:38.Great. Running away tw. -- with it. 118. Put the Guinness down before

:18:38. > :18:45.applauding! Treble 16 or treble 14. He's on

:18:45. > :18:53.treble eight for tops! Oh, wow! What a finish. Third leg, Jason to

:18:53. > :19:00.throw first. Game on. Magic. He simply can't miss! So he's a leg

:19:00. > :19:10.away from 3-0. And his last six darts at doubles have all gone in.

:19:10. > :19:20.

:19:20. > :19:24.And that is why his checkout percentage is so impressive.

:19:24. > :19:30.Jason averaged 91 over the first three sets against Martin Atkins,

:19:30. > :19:40.which is comparable with any other first-round performance.

:19:40. > :19:51.

:19:51. > :19:56.39. 85. The sign on the table next to Andya

:19:57. > :20:03.Jennings. The youngest of their three children watching at home. Hi

:20:03. > :20:13.there. 11 years of age. Also watching back home, Anthony, who's

:20:13. > :20:19.16, and Sean, 19. So far, so good, for Dad. Your dad's a player! He's

:20:19. > :20:29.been magnificent so far. Eight of the nine legs have gone his way.

:20:29. > :20:35.

:20:36. > :20:45.100. Chance for Cullen here. 121. Real chance for Cullen here to stop

:20:45. > :20:53.the rot. It looks like he will be under some pressure. How much?

:20:53. > :21:01.Another treble. Jason, you require 85. So, can the stonemacon chisel

:21:01. > :21:06.out a finish? Treble 18, double 12 is what he needs.

:21:06. > :21:15.Paul, you require 92. Might look at Paul with the first start here,

:21:15. > :21:18.Paul Jennings. He's hit it. Ten, for double 16.

:21:18. > :21:23.Brilliant! Brilliant finishing from Paul Jennings!

:21:23. > :21:28.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Devastating double play from a man

:21:28. > :21:33.from Hartley. And in this kind of form, he could take some stopg!

:21:33. > :21:43.Seven darts in a row at doubles -- stopping! Seven darts in a row at

:21:43. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:52.doubles. All have hit. Paul to go first. Game on!

:21:52. > :21:58.Less than 15 minutes, less than 14 for the second and third sets

:21:58. > :22:08.combined. Jenno's in a hurry. And where he's

:22:08. > :22:22.

:22:22. > :22:27.headed is the quarterfinals. For all that he's a Lakeside rookie,

:22:27. > :22:34.Jason has 140 caps for Ireland, excellent results at youth level as

:22:34. > :22:39.well. He's a runner-up in the WBE Youth Cup a few years ago. Dealing

:22:39. > :22:43.with the pressure here on this stage. Proved to be the undoing of

:22:43. > :22:48.many before. Just those confidence- sapping misses of the doubles in

:22:48. > :22:58.the first set seems to be playing on his mind.

:22:58. > :23:05.

:23:05. > :23:08.No such problems for Paul. 00. Will do well to see that -- 100.

:23:09. > :23:18.We'll do well to see that again all tournament - seven doubles out of

:23:19. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:29.seven, and counting. 125. 162 is not a finish, so six darts

:23:29. > :23:33.

:23:33. > :23:42.to take another leg for Paul Jennings.

:23:42. > :23:51.130. Paul, you require 111. Can do no more, Jason Cullen, to pressure

:23:51. > :23:58.the 111. 19 for double 16. Is it eight out of eight? 95. Jason, you

:23:58. > :24:03.require 32. Stop the clocks!! He's missed one!! Double eight for Jason

:24:03. > :24:10.Cullen for the first leg of set number four. Has to just readjust,

:24:10. > :24:15.move across the oche! 27. He's missed. And another chance for Paul.

:24:15. > :24:22.Paul, you require 16. Double eight, his target. Double

:24:22. > :24:28.eight he hits. The first leg, Paul Jennings. Gets a massive double

:24:28. > :24:30.eight in that match against Ross Montgomery. He's only two legs away

:24:30. > :24:40.now. Andrea still looks stressed, mind you!

:24:40. > :24:40.

:24:40. > :25:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:25:23. > :25:26.love to lay credit to this line myself, but one of the cameraman

:25:26. > :25:33.said the stonemason is between a rock and a hard place. And you

:25:33. > :25:43.can't argue with that assessment. Look at this. 180!

:25:43. > :25:47.

:25:47. > :25:54.CHEERING 60. He's speeding up, isn't it,

:25:54. > :26:04.Jason Cullen? Almost like he wants to get off the stage now.

:26:04. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:35.top, then. Two darts at it. This would be aerator. 20. -- this would

:26:35. > :26:39.be a rarity. 20. Jason simply must take. Good start for him. 18 leaves

:26:39. > :26:48.double-top. He's had six darts at it in the match so far and missed

:26:48. > :26:52.them all. And that - he's now seven. Paul, you require 40. Hasn't won a

:26:52. > :26:58.leg since the first set of the match in the third leg of the match.

:26:58. > :27:06.That run continues. Game, Paul Jennings. Nine legs in a row.

:27:06. > :27:13.to go first. Game on! Going the way of the Englishman. One more. And

:27:13. > :27:16.Jenno's through to the last eight. Of course, the irony is that

:27:16. > :27:21.Jennings hasn't been in brilliant form. He's reached only one

:27:21. > :27:28.quarterfinal in his last nine tournaments. He reached the last

:27:28. > :27:32.eight in October, having struggled in the World Masters. But when it

:27:32. > :27:42.matters on this stage, just brings out the best of him. We saw it last

:27:42. > :27:47.

:27:47. > :27:53.year and we're seeing it this year. would like to see Jason Cullen win

:27:53. > :27:58.at least one more leg. 100. There's a little chance here, after a 58,

:27:58. > :28:08.46 start to this leg from Paul Jennings. Again struggling to find

:28:08. > :28:15.

:28:15. > :28:19.those in the Cullen family. 140. has done himself proud. Just, again,

:28:19. > :28:23.to put his achievement of being here in perspective. He had to

:28:23. > :28:31.qualify for Lakeside by winning seven matches in the play-offs,

:28:31. > :28:35.including a victory over four-time participant Joey Tenberger. His

:28:35. > :28:41.tournament has been going on for months already.

:28:41. > :28:49.A good leg from him here. Two ton 40s and a ton. Surely he will win

:28:49. > :28:58.this one. 100. Jason, you require 40.

:28:58. > :29:02.darts at a double. 18. 19. Go on, don't make it 20. Yes! Well done,

:29:02. > :29:04.Jason. Jason Cullen! CHEERING

:29:04. > :29:10.Ladies and gentlemen, please do not whistle while the players are

:29:10. > :29:16.throwing. Thank you. Fourth leg. Jason to go first. Game

:29:17. > :29:24.on. The referee, Hugh, just reminding the crowd as to their

:29:24. > :29:32.responsibilities at certain stages. 59. He will feel a little bit

:29:32. > :29:42.better about it, but probably only a little.

:29:42. > :29:47.

:29:47. > :29:57.Jennings straight back in. Unlucky, but only his second bount-

:29:57. > :30:16.

:30:16. > :30:26.out in the match. 100 -- bounce-out well, that leg that Jason won

:30:26. > :30:27.

:30:27. > :30:30.against the darts, but to win the next two... 47. Perhaps just the

:30:30. > :30:37.sense, I don't know, might be being unkind to Paul that the finishing

:30:37. > :30:41.line is in sight. Lost his way. A wee bit over the last couple of

:30:41. > :30:50.legs. He's averaging just on the way a little bit, but he is so

:30:50. > :31:00.close. And thall wake him up. -- and that will wake him up.

:31:00. > :31:28.

:31:28. > :31:38.60. Imagine what she would feel Went for the treble 18. 58. Paul,

:31:38. > :31:48.

:31:48. > :31:53.you require 120. For the match for leave double-top. 100.

:31:53. > :31:58.Jason, you require 40. Or here we go. It's a huge question mark, but

:31:58. > :32:03.was that a turning point? It might have been. It might have been. You

:32:03. > :32:11.never know! That's two legs in a row for Jason Cullen.

:32:12. > :32:16.Fifth leg, Paul to throw first. Game on. But Paul is throwing first.

:32:16. > :32:26.He's had a dart for a place in the quarterfinals. That can do funny

:32:26. > :32:34.

:32:34. > :32:37.36 years to represent the Republic of Ireland at the BDO World

:32:37. > :32:40.Championships. None of them have ever made it through to the

:32:40. > :32:46.quarterfinals. And unless we see one of the great comebacks in

:32:46. > :32:52.recent times, we will still be able to say that. 42. In a few minutes'

:32:52. > :33:02.time. Nevertheless, having lost nine legs in a row, he's won the

:33:02. > :33:40.

:33:40. > :33:50.last two when he's had to. And this He's going to have to win it.

:33:50. > :34:09.

:34:09. > :34:17.extend the match. Jennings just had a look at this. He needs the treble.

:34:17. > :34:20.No. Jennings will be back. 56. points away now from a place in the

:34:20. > :34:29.quarterfinals, for the second year running. It can be done in two

:34:29. > :34:35.darts. 18s first. Yes. Two darts, if he

:34:35. > :34:40.needs them - a double 16 for the match. Paul Jennings. Yes! There it

:34:40. > :34:46.is. There it is. There's the celebration. The scoring was

:34:46. > :34:50.clinical. His finishing, at times, was merciful. A minimum of fuss, a

:34:50. > :34:53.minimum of stress. Jenno goes through.

:34:53. > :34:58.With his laid-back approach, Geert De Vos was attaining something of

:34:58. > :35:02.cult status at this year's Lakeside. And the only Belgian in the draw

:35:02. > :35:09.had once again found his way into the second round. But standing in

:35:09. > :35:19.his way of a place of the last eight was waits -- Scott Waites,

:35:19. > :35:26.

:35:26. > :35:36.Oh, and a good start. The lad from Belgium, Geert De Vos.

:35:36. > :35:42.

:35:42. > :35:52.Scotty. But, like I said, swept up, but Geert De Vos now a chance to

:35:52. > :35:53.

:35:53. > :36:00.move in. Scott Waites winning the first

:36:00. > :36:09.three legs. And at that point, Geert hadn't had a shot at a double.

:36:09. > :36:15.The second set, Waites, none out of ten. As a consequence, he's level.

:36:15. > :36:25.It's squared up at one each. times he has got him on the run.

:36:25. > :36:44.

:36:44. > :36:52.One two,, three, ton. 140. That's his last three visits to the board.

:36:53. > :36:59.To take the lead in the match, a single 14. Out of the way.

:36:59. > :37:04.The shot is double 18. Just asking the referee.

:37:04. > :37:12.He's getting the right information. Double 18.

:37:12. > :37:18.10. Scott, you require 141. Hasn't had a three-figure checkout

:37:18. > :37:22.this week yet. Didn't really need one against

:37:22. > :37:30.Willy van de Wiel, in all fairness, such was the consistency of his

:37:30. > :37:38.scoring. 93! Geert De Vos with a chance at double 18 to take the

:37:38. > :37:47.lead for the first time in the game, and a fourth successive leg.

:37:47. > :37:53.Oh, will that be a costly set of darts? Good finish. Double 16. Keep

:37:53. > :37:59.in line. There it is. He will be kicking himself, Geert De Vos.

:37:59. > :38:03.Should have had that one. Game on. And the double trouble Waites had

:38:03. > :38:08.in the second set has now transferred itself over to Geert De

:38:08. > :38:18.Vos. Five times he missed double 18 in that leg. Waites hit double 16

:38:18. > :38:37.

:38:37. > :38:45.at the first time of asking. Good one, that. Right in the middle.

:38:45. > :38:54.Oh, dear. 58. 54 was the saviour, but it will be punishing, I would

:38:54. > :38:59.think, from Scotty. Straight in the middle. 140.

:38:59. > :39:03.The arm dropped down there. A very loose arm.

:39:03. > :39:13.180!! CHEERING

:39:13. > :39:20.

:39:20. > :39:30.De Vos with his first maximum. Normally plays with the wrist,

:39:30. > :39:38.

:39:38. > :39:43.throws straight through. 105. Scott, you require 75. Treble 17. 18 now

:39:43. > :39:52.would leave double-top. So it's a double-top for Waites! 35. Not been

:39:52. > :39:57.good to him so far. You require 82. 82 for Geert. Went for the bull. 17.

:39:57. > :40:07.Oh, dear. Well, you can't afford to miss the big ones. So double-top

:40:07. > :40:10.

:40:11. > :40:17.for Waites. Three darts to do it. Double ten. Double five. Oh, dear.

:40:17. > :40:25.Geert, you require 40. Only hit one of his last 15, now, the tournament

:40:25. > :40:29.favourite. Double-top for De Vos. And he hits the single one, which

:40:29. > :40:33.means obviously can't finish with this last dart. Eight. Double 16 if

:40:33. > :40:40.he comes back. Hasn't been a masterclass of finishing in the

:40:40. > :40:49.last two or three minutes. Double five, then, for Scott Waites. At 2-

:40:49. > :40:59.0 in the third. Scott Waites. Third leg, Geert to throw first. Game on.

:40:59. > :41:14.

:41:14. > :41:20.A lot of nerves up there. 100.

:41:20. > :41:30.Fancy dress is almost derigeur here at Lakeside. You should see what

:41:30. > :41:42.

:41:42. > :41:47.Tony is wearing tonight! Well, Geert De Vos, 96, 26. Come on,

:41:47. > :41:57.liven up. We know what you can do. 180! Getting the applause from a

:41:57. > :42:01.

:42:01. > :42:08.great crowd here. 100. The chance for Geert. A chance that he has to

:42:08. > :42:18.take. Gotta hold his throw in this leg to stay in the set, of course.

:42:18. > :42:27.

:42:27. > :42:37.on a good finish of 100. 97. Geert, you require 100. OK, come on.

:42:37. > :42:37.

:42:37. > :42:47.Double-top, straight in. Still treble 20. 27. Scott, you require

:42:47. > :42:56.

:42:56. > :43:04.144. Look at the treble 18s here, the Belgian. Two darts at double

:43:04. > :43:09.eight after that great first dart. Not such a good second. And a good

:43:09. > :43:18.third. Geert De Vos. Fourth leg, Scott to throw first. Game on.

:43:18. > :43:28.Jacky and co, euphoric. OK. Needs this leg to take this set. 140.

:43:28. > :43:38.

:43:38. > :43:46.great way to start - 140. 135. across... 15 instead of 60. A good

:43:46. > :43:56.start here from Scotty. Oh, yes. 140. Two 140s. Looking good now.

:43:56. > :44:05.

:44:05. > :44:13.For the set. 96. So, a significant lead. A treble here will give him a

:44:13. > :44:23.good chance of wrapping up this third set. 100. Left 121, on his

:44:23. > :44:28.

:44:28. > :44:37.next visit. 100. Scott, you require 121. Treble 20. 11. All the trebles.

:44:37. > :44:47.Well, double 18 now. Yes! CHEERING

:44:47. > :44:57.2-1 now to Scotty in sets. It's Scott to throw first. Game on.

:44:57. > :44:58.

:44:58. > :45:07.His biggest checkout of the week - a 121. He leads 2-1.

:45:07. > :45:17.134. Yeah, good cover shots there. Treble 19s. He's under all sorts of

:45:17. > :45:29.

:45:29. > :45:39.pressure now. 114. 140. 134, 140. Start of this fourth set, leading

:45:39. > :45:45.

:45:45. > :45:55.2-1 in sets. Scotty Waites. Is this gonna be his year? 45. 140.

:45:55. > :46:01.

:46:01. > :46:10.cannot be serious! LAUGHS 59. Scott, you require 87. OK. Treble 17.

:46:10. > :46:19.Double 18. Double nine. Yes! It's there. Well done. Scott Waites.

:46:19. > :46:29.Second leg, Geert to throw first. Game on. He's a set up, he's a leg

:46:29. > :46:33.

:46:33. > :46:43.83. The one good thing with Scotty is just playing the board. He

:46:43. > :46:45.

:46:46. > :46:55.forgot about his opponent. -- 96.

:46:56. > :47:21.

:47:21. > :47:27.quarterfinal of the Grand Slam of Darts this year. He beat Phil

:47:27. > :47:35.Taylor 5-2 in an earlier round. The Czech Open, he won. Which took his

:47:36. > :47:39.career tally to 13 ranking titles. At Lakeside, it's the one that has

:47:39. > :47:49.eluded him. Good formulate in the tournament has eluded him. OK, a

:47:49. > :48:10.

:48:10. > :48:13.chance here now. needed a treble on that visit to

:48:13. > :48:18.the oche. 156 if he comes barks which he will be doing. 185 on the

:48:19. > :48:28.board for Scotty. So there is an opportunity here. Geert, you

:48:29. > :48:29.

:48:30. > :48:37.require 156. Two treble 20s. Another one. Yes! Double 18! Oh!

:48:37. > :48:44.Unlucky. 120. A wry smile. require 101. But will he be

:48:44. > :48:54.punished? A great chance for a 156. Nine. Leaves double 16 for Waites!

:48:54. > :48:59.

:48:59. > :49:09.85. The wait goes on! Geert, you require 36. Double 18.

:49:09. > :49:10.

:49:10. > :49:17.Geert De Vos. Game on. Yeah, me old mate said - the legend.

:49:17. > :49:27.140. A true legend. Certainly here in spirit, no doubt about that.

:49:27. > :49:36.

:49:36. > :49:44.will be looking down. 93. Some family as well, Irene.

:49:44. > :49:54.140. A good start to this leg. 140, 140.

:49:54. > :50:12.

:50:12. > :50:20.Scott Waites. 92. 96. 125. Scott, you require 125. Take the 25

:50:20. > :50:30.off. Now it's a 25, so treble 20. Maybe treble 16. Leaves double 16.

:50:30. > :50:32.

:50:33. > :50:39.93. Geert a long, long way back. 140. Scott, you require 32. Puts a

:50:39. > :50:45.little bit of pressure on the double 16 for Scott Waites. Now

:50:45. > :50:55.double eight. 16. Just letting him down, his finishing, at times. And

:50:55. > :50:56.

:50:56. > :51:01.a glirm of hope for the Bell -- and a glimmer of hope for the Bellian.

:51:01. > :51:10.He wants double 16. Well, lucky Scotty, you're coming back. Scott,

:51:10. > :51:18.you require 16. Double eight. Double four.

:51:18. > :51:23.Double two. Honestly, sometimes on the doubles, it's lost him so many

:51:23. > :51:30.matches. Six missed darts in a double in this leg alone. 26 missed

:51:30. > :51:40.darts at a double in the match so far. Double eight for Geert De Vos!

:51:40. > :51:46.

:51:46. > :51:51.And Waites is punished. Could have been 2-1 up, instead he's 2-1 down.

:51:51. > :52:01.So, here we go. A chance now. Geert De Vos throwing first. Needs this

:52:01. > :52:04.

:52:04. > :52:11.leg for the set. 67. And then... 140. You can score all night, but

:52:11. > :52:16.you've got to hit the doubles as well. That score now, by the fact

:52:16. > :52:21.that six legs that De Vos has won, Waites had had darts at doubleness

:52:21. > :52:31.five of them, but he's only hitting every fifth double at the moment.

:52:31. > :52:41.140. Mind you, he's a scoring machine.

:52:41. > :53:08.

:53:08. > :53:17.require 161. After nine darts, so a 12-dart finish here. Needed the

:53:18. > :53:25.treble. 81 left. Options - 15s or 19s, anything you want. 137.

:53:25. > :53:33.There's your 24. A knock at the door!

:53:33. > :53:39.96. Scott, you require 24. Waiting for the finish - double 12. Yes.

:53:39. > :53:44.It's done. All square in the set. Fifth, it's Scott to throw first.

:53:44. > :53:51.Game on. And against the darts, Scott Waites

:53:51. > :53:58.hits double 12. And he takes us into a deciding leg in this fourth

:53:58. > :54:03.set. 99. This leg the difference between a 3-1 Waites lead or 2-2,

:54:03. > :54:07.as the players go off for another mini break at the end of this leg.

:54:07. > :54:12.140. I think the way Geert De Vos has been throwing, he deserves to

:54:12. > :54:22.go in at 2-2. I think that would be only fair, to be honest. He's

:54:22. > :54:26.

:54:26. > :54:36.really been under pressure, especially by the power of Scotty.

:54:36. > :54:46.77. Yeah, good recovery. Treble 18. 54 points.

:54:46. > :54:55.

:54:55. > :55:05.99. There's Clive, Scott's dad. Deep in conversation. 100. He's

:55:05. > :55:16.

:55:16. > :55:21.Scott Waites... Yes. He's got that big one. 95. Scott, you require 148.

:55:21. > :55:27.Can't be done. Business end of a massive leg. 148, the target for

:55:27. > :55:34.Scott Waites. Great start. Another one for double

:55:34. > :55:37.14 and a 148 for the set! Brilliant!! And the tournament

:55:37. > :55:42.favourite. That is why the bookies think he is the man that everyone

:55:42. > :55:47.has to beat! A massive set of darts from Waites, just when you needed

:55:47. > :55:56.it most. Game on. Plenty of work for Geert De Vos to

:55:56. > :56:01.do, trailing 3-1 as we start the fifth set. 100.

:56:01. > :56:07.Yeah, and Scotty has been missing a lot of finishes, though, during the

:56:07. > :56:17.match. But all he requires is one set for

:56:17. > :56:26.

:56:26. > :56:36.victory. 83. He's got to really get his act together, has Geert. 97.

:56:36. > :57:04.

:57:04. > :57:11.think he's got the talent. 134. Decent stuff, Geert De Vos, in

:57:11. > :57:19.this fifth set. 100. Geert, you require 88.

:57:19. > :57:29.he's looking at now. Treble 20. 18 will leave bull. Bull's-eye for

:57:29. > :57:30.

:57:30. > :57:37.Geert De Vos. 63. Scott, you require 108. 18s or Shanghai.

:57:37. > :57:47.Single. Yes. Very difficult. Reached double. 72. I think that

:57:47. > :57:48.

:57:48. > :57:53.second dart has been adjusted. Double 11.

:57:53. > :58:00.Scott, you require 36. Double 18, then, for Scott, after mistakes

:58:00. > :58:07.from Geert. Mistakes punished again. Scott Waites.

:58:07. > :58:16.Scott to throw first, game on. Creeping ever closer now is Scott

:58:16. > :58:26.Waites. Just two legs away. 100.

:58:26. > :58:36.Come on, Geert. Great match. Let's keep it going. 100.

:58:36. > :58:46.Mark, the referee. Doing a great job. And that gives

:58:46. > :58:51.

:58:51. > :58:56.him a chance now. Some pretty flamboyant headwear in there. I

:58:56. > :59:06.tell you something, the bloke in the dark blue wig there, that's a

:59:06. > :59:10.
