Day 5 Darts: World Championships - Extra

from Scott Waites. For the match for Waites! He has to wait some

more. Double three. Yes, that is the one! It is all over. Perfect

match for Scott Waites. Well done to Scott Waites. The quarter-finals

of the world darts championships. And Darryl Fitton goes up against

Wesley Harms tomorrow night. Yet another quarter-final against Robey

Green who put Scott Mitchell to the sword. So the bottom half of the

draw. Richie George takes on another Dutch man, E Jan Dekker.

And Scott Waites is to take on Paul Jennings, the quarter-finalist from

last year. Darts extra coming up next. We will be back tomorrow

afternoon on BBC Two from 1 o'clock. That means myself and Bobby George,

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

Now we head back to Frimley Green for a look at more highlights of

Day 6 with Darts Extra. Good evening. Tonight we complete

the line-up for the quarterfinals which for our first two players

means a touch of deja vu because Garry Thompson took on a young

Dutchman by the name of Jan Dekker in a mid-week match that went all

the way to a decider. Dekker won on that occasion, will it be the same

this time round? First set, first lepg48, it is yan to throw first.

he is now. A very high-scoring is January. Jan. All right up 14, 140s

Yeah, garry with a double R proving he has more to his name and more to

his game. 17 for tops. He has hit double 17

and he can't now finish. Garry Thompson with a chance to nick the

first leg against the Dutchman. He has to take out 112 to do it.

Jan Dekker requires double 2, double 1. No score. Garry you

require 87. A bit nerve wracking these first two. Jan, you require

four. Double 2. Double 1. No score. Garry you require first 8. The

first leg is not a good one. Five mixed doubles for Jan Dekker in

that opening leg. Both players just taking a little time to settle.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

As always, no seats available at the Lakeside. 140.

(CHEERING) Looking for a good score here, 190

before the throw. It will help. They will be coming back. Garry,

you require 93. Jan, you require 87. 62. Garry you require 18. Two nines

for a Garry Thompson for a two leg lead. Third leg is Jan throwing

first. They call him the Recliner these

days. 46 years of age. It used to be the Cougar, but he says that has

other connotations and he wants nothing the do wit. -- to do with

it. He was like a cougar then in letting

letting them go. Dekker struggling here. To their obvious

set. Garry, you require 185. He can win it with three perfect darts and

there it is - not far away. He will be back. 95. Garry, you require 40.

Double-top. Set point. And the first set, Garry Thompson.

Recliner. Hasn't really got out of third gear but he has not lost a

leg. Second set, first leg, it is Garry to throw first. Game on.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

Born and bred in west Yorkshire. 137. 134, 137, this is better from

both players now. Yes, a little chance to settle in now and, as I

say, it is not easy coming out there. 137. 163 is one of those

bogey numbers. It can't be taken out with three darts. Jan, you

require 73. So treble 19. Single 14, double-top. 53. Garry, you require

87. Treble 17. So 78. 47. Jan, you require 20. For the first leg of

the match he has miss seven darts ot a double. The first leg, Jan

Dekker. Second leg is Jan to throw first. Game on. They are not

stopping for anyone, these two. Straight into it. The nerves will

have been disappearing. 180!! a start. That always galvanises

Lakeside. They are starting to shake it out now. A good 140 from

Dekker. 99. A good leg this from both players. It is one of those

things, Tony, isn't it, you frequently see two players

struggling or two players play brilliantly - you rarely see one

player playing brilliantly and one struggling. These feed off each

other. It is a magnificent finish if he can take it out. What can

Dekker take out of this - he would like a treble here so he can finish

in two darts. 94. Garry, you require 170. To

trebles - there is one. Oh, just pushed to it the right-hand side.

Jan, you require 86. Treble 18. 12, so treble 14. Garry, you require

100. So coming back for a double-top.

Jan, you require 40. Jan Dekker, double-top. A bit nervous. Garry,

you require 48. 15 for double 6 for garthom Tom -- Garry Thompson to

level the set - no. Jan, you require 20. That is double ten.

Game and second leg to Jan Dekker. Third leg it is Garry to throw

first, game on. OK, hoping to save this set. He is

leading by one set to love. 44 is not the way he would have chosen to

start this leg. The winner of three BDO ranking titles, Garry Thompson.

99. Scottish Open and Welsh Classic champion of 2008 and the Swedish

Open champion of 2012. Jan here will beat Jeffrey. Martin

Atkins. Another Yorkshire pair, a great york share pair. They looked

at the draw and didn't think that they would be playing their first

round matches until Monday. They realised then that they were in

action first up on Sunday afternoon. This is for the set.

That is typical for a Yorkshireman. I am one myself and I am always

forgetting. Double-top. Double ten. Game and second set to Jan Dekker.

One set apiece. Third, set, first leg it is Jan to throw first. Game

on. Game on to the stage with his jacket. It is his trademark, isn't

it? That is why he got nicknamed Double Decker. He wants to be

sponsored by Black and Decker. If he comes on in that jacket with

pumping house music, his favourite songs. Garry, of course, as we

mention every year has that glory, glory Garry Thompson song specially

written for him by the heavy metal band. And the green, green grass of

home is the theme. A significant advantage for Dekker. Not any more

120. Hit the bottom of the wire there, you can just see it where it

has dented the wire. Garry, you require 121.

So, treble 17. He wants the bull, he has to go for is. Oh, unlucky.

Jan, you require 135. May go for the bull or 25. He has missed both.

He can't finish now. 95. Garry, you require 25. Double 8, double 4 - he

is rushing. Oh, dear. Jan, you require 40. Any mistake here -

there is the marker, he can come off the barrel if he wants.

Dekker taking the leg. Second leg is Garry to throw first, game on.

After winning that first set, Dekker is running away with it now.

134. Here we go, here we go - Jan Dekker.

treble to finish, treble 19. Obviously he wants it his own way.

This is a good chance for Garry Thompson to stop the rot. He has

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

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

go for this. 86. Garry, you require 1516. Double 8 coming in here, oh,

what a shocker. Jan, you require 64. Double 16, double 8. He has it!

Second leg, Jan Dekker. The third leg, Jan Dekker to throw first.

Game on. Dekker has just won five legs in a row. Garry will know it

happens but when you are struggling your heart sinks a little bit

further when you see a board fall out of the double 20 and hit the

floor - a board! A dart. He is leading 2-1 is Dekker. OK. Nice and

easy. 64. Yeah, he took the 64 off and left him 300. 100. Nearly

halfway there. 137. 84 left for Thompson, still 200. Garry, you

require 84. For his first leg in six. Now, this time Dekker will

have 43 for the third set. Double 19 now. Will he double 19? You know

what, brilliant. Third leg, Jan Dekker. Fourth set, first leg, it

is grry to throw first. Game on. -- Garry to throw first. Game on.

missed the drebl 20, straight into the five. You have to say - I think

at this stage Garry is not doing anything at all. And Jan Dekker,

really, is going to be a quick match. 77. The mark is there, it

can get rate through. Pushed the dart in then, and again. Where is

your brothers? 92. Jan Dekker, 2-1 up. 180!! He is producing the darts

just when they are needed. That is a good shot as well. They are

looking glum. 140. Jan, you require 128. Oh, he has missed it. He has

missed it! On 64, Garry Thompson takes the lead. Treble 16, double-

top. Game and the first leg Garry Thompson. Second leg it is Jan

throwing first. The first leg in seven. He lost six in a row after

winning the first set 3-0. That will make him feel good. 180!!

second of the match. It did give him a shot in the arm, didn't it?

That leg win. 41. Here he goes again, look! 101. Jan Dekker has

gone off the boil as well. 95, 41. 85. Topsy-turvey. Yeah, Christine

is starting to look a little nervous. I am sure he heard that as

well. I am sure they held that in Holland. 179, to needs 180 Dekker.

He has the advantage of the throw. 39. Garry, you require 140.

He can't finish this. So at 86 he will be back. Jan, you require 86.

Double 16 - yes!! Game and the second leg Jan Dekker. The ground

loves that when he hits the bowl. Garry to play first, game on.

Brilliant finishing. Again from Dekker. Frebl and treble and double

19 to wrap up the third set. Full double 16 just now. Funny enough,

his check-out percentage is pretty poor at 21 darts thrown at a double

- on seven hit the target. 140. has had some big finishes, hasn't

he? Some finishs that will hurt his opponent. 99. Another treble 18.

137. 145 left. 2. Garry, you require 145.

Can Dekker on a finish of 170, he has had some big finishes, here is

one now. Jan you require 170. Garry, you require 69. So double six,

unusual. 57. Jan, you require 74. think he thought he had hit the

double 6 with his first dart. 13 for duls eye, duls eye - yes! --

bull's-eye - yes, bull's-eye. Dekker. Fourth leg, Jan to throw

first, game on. She throwing for the fourth set. And finding the

treble 20. 140. You have to feel for Garry, don't

you? He came out great in the first lepg, the first set, and then all

of a sudden he was being bomb bahted. -- bombarded. Not the

weight of score, not even the check-out percentage but it is the

way he is finishing them. It is like he opens the door and closes

it in a single innings - misses with a first dart and ends up with

the last one. He still could get these with a big score here.

Garry, you require 124. Bull's-eye. 80. Jan, you require

170. Are we going to get a shot here as well - two treble 20s? No,

we won't. Garry left himself 44. Garry, you require 44. For the set.

Double-top. Double-top and the fourth leg Garry Thompson. What a

way to win that one. Fifth leg is Garry to throw first, game on.

the issue. This will take the lead 3-1 for Dekker. Of, of course, it

will level the match at 2-sets all if Garry Thompson wins it. It is a

key leg in the concept of this match. You are right. Thompson with

the advantage. Three points plus these - 123 points. Fantastic. What

a time for a 171 to leave himself on double 16s for the set. Whatever

Dekker does Thompson will have dart for it, to level the match. He is

taking his time. Double 8. Don't rush. Yes, he's got it! And the

fourth set Garry Thompson. 2-2 now. It is Jan to throw first, game on.

Just the advantage of the throw now. That is with Dekker. 140. Garry who

took a holiday for Christmas, returned home on new year's eve.

Had a big night out, I am told, on new year's eve ch went to work on 2

and 3 January and came here on Friday 4th for his match on the 6th.

OK. He uses the board, that is for certain. Three scores under 60 from

Jan Dekker. He is losing his way a bit here. Can't find the trebles.

63. Garry, you require 146. 94. Treble 18 and then to the finish.

That is 54 of them. Double ten is left. Oh. 108. Jan, you require 52.

Double-top. Game and the first leg to gar Garry Thompson. The second

leg is Garry to throw first. Game on. Back in the lead Garry Thompson.

Yes, it looked like he was going out. It just shows you you - don't

give in. Won the first set without dropping a leg and then lost six

straight legs. Looked like he might be leaving the fourth set as well.

Found a way to win it, kind of muscled his way to the fourth set.

120. How how they are hitting the metal of the barrels. It was in, it

was in it was in - it was out. is not fast enough to run up and

stop it. 100. He has had a good start to the leg - 112, 120. Jan

Dekker's got a good stance - right foot on the deck. 169 Garry

Thompson. 59. Garry Thompson waiting now for three ton, two ton

plus this. Garry, you require 110. 102. Double four when he comes back.

Decker on 2, 1, 2. 47. Garry, you require 8. A double four. Yes!!

Game shot and the second leg, Garry Thompson. Third leg, Garry to throw

first. Game on. Tina was looking forlorn 15-minutes ago. Now she is

thinking about another quarterfinal. Garry, twice already a Lakeside

quarterfinals. Lost to Martin Adams in 2010 and Jan Dekker, today's

component, 5-4, two years ago. I think Jan is going the make a

come back, just the same as Garry did. 97. If he loses this leg, he

doesn't have any sets to play with. That is a tidy 140 just when he

needed it. Applies the pressure, turns the screw. 77. They have both

had one out of the board now. don't come back better than a 170,

though. Not this time for Jan Dekker. 115. Garry, you require 140.

44. Jan, you require 55. Maybe 19 or the 15. Double 18. Fanscys that

one. Game shot and the third leg, Jan Dekker. Fourth leg is Garry to

throw first. Game on. 140. Good Thompson, throws for a 3-2 lead in

set. He looks more confident than Dekker at the moment, I can tell

you. He had an odd 2012, Jan Dekker, the first six months of it were

exclusively dedicated to finals, not doubles. He graduated in

business and economics. He wants to find a serious job, Tony, first,

and the darts will continue as a side line. Like I said, he can't do

better than he has done in economics. And the financial front

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

be my accountant any day. Exactly. Garry, you require 144. This is for

the set, Garry Thompson. Another treble 20 and he left double 12. He

be back, though, and he will have darts for the set. 87. High-scoring

this one for Dekker. 85 so far. Garry, you require 57.. 17, double-

top. Set point, double 19. Jan, you require 139. 19, can't finish. 38

on the board to Garry Thompson. Garry, you - Does he go straight

for the double 19? That is the one he wants, Dekker has hit it already.

Double 18. How about this. To level the set. From two legs down. Game

throw and the fourth leg Jan Dekker. Jan to throw first, game on. It is

2-2 in this set. Advantage with the throw Dekker. 98. Garry missed four

darts for the set. Two of them at double 19. 58. Right down the oche

now for the set. 24. Or, he can hit 24 and hand the initiative to Jan

Dekker. Who might just take it. They should have got rid of the

nerves by now. That is a good one, right in the corner. So 72 left.

Treble 12 or - 127. 65 coming back. 180!! Nicely done Garry Thompson

applies the pressure to this 55 which we think will be 25. And

double-top for the set for Jan Dekker. Double ten. No, his turn to

miss. He needs double ten. This is for the set.

CHEERING Tina celebrates like he has won the

match. He is a set away. Yes, she is very pleased. And so is

Garry. Sixth, set, first leg, Garry to throw first. Game on. They been

to the watering hole and they are all set now. They are already

understood ever pressure. -- under pressure. Here is Jan Dekker.

Just one pointless than the 140 by Garry Thompson. Really forcing it

now. It has been a strange game, very strange. Hasn't really hit the

hype. They have had some very high scores and some very low scores.

Garry Thompson was nowhere in that last leg before the 180. And the

pressure on Jan Dekker, that is why he missed the darts at the double-

top. But Garry no mistake. Look at Jan now. He is the one that needs

the set. Take us all the way. We have up to two sets left so let's

make sure they are two quality sets. Let's hope these players manage to

produce the darts that they are capable of.

Garry, you require 110. So treble 18. 52. Jan, you require 8. Double

four. Double two. 4. Garry, you require 58. Here is a chance he

didn't think he would get. Double- top. Game and the first leg Garry

Thompson. Second leg it is Jan throwing first. A chance of

breaking the through -- throw through that first set. He is

missing so many doubles. They won't be calling him Double Dekker now.

It is Thompson who is two legs away from reaching the quarterfinals.

But look at that, Tony. They have won ten legs apiece. They have

missed 23 darts at a double each but it is about when you hit your

doubles. Fortunately for Mr Thompson he hits them at the right

time. There has been two 96s in this leg.

44. He has been a bit cougar-like, hasn't he? Just hanging around and

pouncing at the end of every leg, Garry Thompson. Jan Dekker has been

like a pussy cat. Yes, offering up opportunities - All the time.

Someone like Garry Thompson doesn't need asking twice. Come on Jan, you

can do it. Let's go all the way. Jan, you require 120. Let's see if

he can get it. Single 20. He has made it difficult. Double-top and

he's got it. Game and the second leg Jan Dekker. Third leg is Garry

to throw first. Game on. Still with the advantage of throwing first,

Garry Thompson. He is leading 3-2 in sets. 39. You can see the hurt

on his face every time he throw as dart that he is disappointed with.#

He had a career against the talented Gary Robson, the number

tenth seed in the first round. Scrappy, scrappy now. 180!! Nothing

scrappy about that. To be honest with you, before the 180 he hit 39

and 56. 137. Finally something for Christine to shout about. He has

spent the last set and a half biting those beautifully manicureed

nails of hers. They are quite nice. 170 on the board for Dekker. Jan,

you require 170. Yes, another one, please. I would love to see. This

is the boat. Jan, you require 89. So treble 19, a good lead treble 16.

Treble 20 for double 5. Double 5, yes. And the third leg Jan Dekker.

Great stuff!!! Looks like going all the way at the moment. Fourth leg,

Jan to throw first. Game on. and a good start here. Speeded up,

definitely. 140. Definitely speeding up, look at him. She the

cougar now. Oh, brilliant!! 180!! Oh, what a start to this leg. Oh.

Maximum to start the leg from Garry Thompson. We will need some more -

yes. Dekker throwing first. Tense, nervous moments. This is for the

set, remember. 99. To take us all the way to a decider. It has been

that sort of match. You really wouldn't be surprised - in fact you

would be surprised if we didn't go to a decider. Blocking that treble

and switching to 19s. 567. -- 57. Garry, you require 150. OK, a big

finish. The pressure is on Jan Dekker. Jan, you require 148.

how. Two treble 20s. He has gone the 18s route. 94. Garry, you

require 64. Treble 16. Now he wants to be top, he has hit them. 44. Jan,

you require 54. What can Jan do here? Double-top. Yes! He is there.

And the sixth set goes to Jan Dekker. We are going to whole way!!

Magnificent!! Seventh set, first leg, Jan to throw first. Game on.

This is what it is all about! Off we go. First three legs by two

clear -- to three leagues by two clear sets. A huge scream of "come

on" wasn't there from Christine and Jan's camp just before he threw

that dart at double-top, thought it might put him off, but not a bit of

it. OK. Looks as though she hasn't stopped jumping up. She might be

jumping up again here. 138. What do you reckon, Tony? Who can win from

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

Having lost that advantage it could go to Dekker. 95. 44. 72. Jan, you

require 72. 52 left, single 20. He has one dart to search the best of

on the board, double 16. Garry, you require 157. Jan, you require 32.

Double 16. Yes. Game, and the first leg, Jan Dekker. The the first time

he missed the double 16 was if first time he has missed double 16

the whole championship. It has been his strength. It still is. The

UMPIRE: 4. -- 84.

All of a sudden... More consistency in this match.

That does make it exciting, Tony. Oh, definitely. It's been great,

great to watch. Gone Yorkshire's way and Holland's

way. We don't know which way it will go in the end. Whoever wins

this set reaches the quarterfinals. And the other will rue mixed

doubles and missed opportunities. This is for a 2-leg lead, treble 20.

He can't now finish. Thompson on Dekker. He's the coolest man in the

place. Jan Senior. The third leg is Jan to throw first. Game on.

Christine wasn't quite so cool. It's been a thriller. Just one leg

remaining in the match. 3-3 in sets. 2-love at the moment. For Jan

Dekker. But Garry with a chance. A chance in this leg. 140, 99. Kept

with Dekker all the way. Left himself 170, has Garry Thompson.

Jan Dekker back on 257. Eyeing up the treble 19. Finding the treble

19 twice. 134. Very nice switch. Garry, you require 170. Yeah, his

dad, William, is anxiously waiting to see him complete the task. 19s,

I would think. Yes. Treble 18 leaves the bull... On the 18s. But,

now, the moment of truth. Garry, you require 74.

Double 16 coming in for Garry. Double eight. He needs it. Can he

get it? Oh, no! Is it all over? you require 68. We didn't want it

to end. 15. Double two. Oh! He's still there, Garry. Garry, you

require eight. You're still there. Double four. Yes! And the third leg,

Garry Thompson. Everything's happening!!

Fourth leg is Garry to throw first. Game on.

Jan Dekker now in that awful position of having to play on,

having to start another leg, having missed darts for the match. Only 45.

From Thompson, to begin this leg. 100. Coming down straightaway.

45, 57. Doesn't help. Well, that's wayward. 44. Just as

nervous for his dad. I think the feeling... I don't know how you do

on the stage. 42. There we go. Into the twebl 20. Into it twice --

treble 20. Into it twice. 180! changes things! That really does

change things. The crowd is cheering! It's unbelievable! Garry,

you require 122. OK. Well, that's the one. 40. He's coming back, is

Garry Thompson. One in. 82. 95. keep the match alive... Garry, you

require 82. And he wants now double 16. Game. The match is still alive!

One leg away from the tie breaker. Ladies and gentlemen, with the

scores three sets all and two legs all, we now move into the tie break.

Should the scores reach five legs all, we will play sudden death. The

fifth leg, it's Jan to throw first. Game on.

Here we go, then. You must win by two clear legs, as we heard our

referee explaining, until 5-5. Then they will have a sudden-death tie

break leg. Very much deserved to go all the way, this one. Oh. Still

have no idea who's gonna take the momentum and who's gonna cross the

finishing line with it. Jan Dekker twice was looking at a double for

the match. Well, is it the old campaigner, the great Yorkshire

stalwart? Or is it the young pretender.

56. It's had its ups, it's had its down. 140. A breakthrough comes for

Garry Thompson with that 140. 50 points ahead.

Two clear legs. Oh, look at this. Leaves 100, after 12 darts. Dekker

on 188. Wants another treble here. Wanted to check whether it was in

the 20 or the five. He's been told. So he's going down. 137. Good dart.

Garry, you require 100. Needed the treble. 60. OK. Jan, you require

51.. He went for two doubles there, Garry Thompson. 19 for double 16.

Two 16s. He's only missed it once autumn tournament. Needs it now.

Finds it! Oh, he's found it! He's a leg away again.

UMPIRE: Sixth leg. It's Garry to throw first. Game on. Advantage to

Garry. Rushing his darts. 140. There's the double.

APPLAUSE And his dad was pleased, wasn't he?

Straight up out of his chair. This is looking good as well. 177.

140 from Garry. 177 from Jan Dekker. That's pressurised, Garry Thompson.

That's really has... Oh, this could be the moment of the match. The 177

may have been key. Surely it's coming down... Staying on the 17.

56. Keeps it even on 268. 60. the throw. He's nicked the throw,

essentially, in this leg. This could be the last leg of the match,

remember. Oh. Yes. 80. With that shot, nice pick-up. Still no finish.

Yes, that's good. That's good. And the treble, otherwise he wouldn't

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

leave the bull. It's all a fraction away. Treble three! It's all on

Dekker. Everything. 94. Options - treble 18 or the bull.

19. And now it's the bull. And it's the match! And he takes the match!!

What a way to finish!! Oh! Look at his son! Look at his father. Look

at his girl! Absolutely brilliant! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Jason Cullen arrived here hoping to create a little piece of sporting

history by becoming the first player from the Republic of Ireland

into a Lakeside quarterfinal. But he was up against a man who reached

the last eight 12 months ago, and Paul Jennings was in sparkling form

with his first-round match. This one could go all the way.

Your commentators include Jim Proudfoot.

If he wins, he says he might even become the most famous sporting son.

UMPIRE: 81. Currently, that title rests with Kevin Doyle. Very close

to where Jason hails from. 24 years of age, is Jason Cullen.

Paul is 26. 180! And the other number of note is 180! And Jason

responding. Yes. 180! Both players throwing their first max yima of

the match. -- maxima of the match.

Double 20, double 10, so 20 for tops.

40. Half a chance, then for Paul Jennings to go clear in the second

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE A 128, if you please!

Third leg, Paul to go first. Game on! They had that against Ross

Montgomery, back at the weekend. Where he was hitting that kind of

finish for fun in quick succession. He's really found his form. 140.

Doesn't like the loose third dart, but he will be delighted with the

been the frustrating thing for him. Five missed darts at double-top so

far. Six now. In the space of the first six legs. 100. 41. Also a

keen horse rider, Jason Cullen. Likes hunting. 60. He steered clear

of the horses in recent months. Doesn't want to fall off and damage

his throwing arm. 85. With the biggest matches of his

life coming up. Delighted to reach round two. Can he get further?

140. Paul, you require 152. 128 in the last leg. 152, his target now.

88. Jason, you require 61. Double 18. One more shot at it.

CHEERING Paul, you require 64. Andrea

cheering Paul on. Three darts in his hand, 64 on the board, a single

16 for double 16. For 2-0. Game on the second set, Paul Jennings.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So, can this 24-year-old Irishman

mount a comeback from two sets groove. 100.

He's thinking of changing his nickname, Jason Cullen. They used

to call his grandad 'The Wisiler', and he quite -- 'The whistler'. And

he quite fancied that. If you're wondering about the difference

between these two players so far, that tells the story. Jenno getting

his last four at doubles. Jason just the one so far. He's missed

six shots at double-top so far. And as if to further illustrate

that point, if you look at the averageness their first nine darts,

-- averages in their first nine darts... 140.

Well, that's their averages overall, but their averages from the first

nine darts sees Jason Cullen considerably ahead of Paul Jennings.

It's all about the doubles. Can he take out 101, though? Double 19 for

double 12. Could do with hitting this. 89. Paul, you require 160.

Another opening for Paul. 100. Jason, you require 12. Pressure on

Jason Cullen, as he looks at double six. Misses with the first two. Oh!

Jason! Just letting you down at the moment. Paul, you require 60.

for double-tops. Game. Paul Jennings. Four out of four. Second

Jennings. 81. Have a look at that - Jason

Cullen, with his first nine darts, outscoring Paul Jennings. 139.

only he had hit some doubles. You can take the Irishman out of

Ireland, but there will always be an Irishman drinking the black

stuff. 180!!

Great. Running away tw. -- with it. 118. Put the Guinness down before

applauding! Treble 16 or treble 14. He's on

treble eight for tops! Oh, wow! What a finish. Third leg, Jason to

throw first. Game on. Magic. He simply can't miss! So he's a leg

away from 3-0. And his last six darts at doubles have all gone in.

And that is why his checkout percentage is so impressive.

Jason averaged 91 over the first three sets against Martin Atkins,

which is comparable with any other first-round performance.

39. 85. The sign on the table next to Andya

Jennings. The youngest of their three children watching at home. Hi

there. 11 years of age. Also watching back home, Anthony, who's

16, and Sean, 19. So far, so good, for Dad. Your dad's a player! He's

been magnificent so far. Eight of the nine legs have gone his way.

100. Chance for Cullen here. 121. Real chance for Cullen here to stop

the rot. It looks like he will be under some pressure. How much?

Another treble. Jason, you require 85. So, can the stonemacon chisel

out a finish? Treble 18, double 12 is what he needs.

Paul, you require 92. Might look at Paul with the first start here,

Paul Jennings. He's hit it. Ten, for double 16.

Brilliant! Brilliant finishing from Paul Jennings!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Devastating double play from a man

from Hartley. And in this kind of form, he could take some stopg!

Seven darts in a row at doubles -- stopping! Seven darts in a row at

doubles. All have hit. Paul to go first. Game on!

Less than 15 minutes, less than 14 for the second and third sets

combined. Jenno's in a hurry. And where he's

headed is the quarterfinals. For all that he's a Lakeside rookie,

Jason has 140 caps for Ireland, excellent results at youth level as

well. He's a runner-up in the WBE Youth Cup a few years ago. Dealing

with the pressure here on this stage. Proved to be the undoing of

many before. Just those confidence- sapping misses of the doubles in

the first set seems to be playing on his mind.

No such problems for Paul. 00. Will do well to see that -- 100.

We'll do well to see that again all tournament - seven doubles out of

seven, and counting. 125. 162 is not a finish, so six darts

to take another leg for Paul Jennings.

130. Paul, you require 111. Can do no more, Jason Cullen, to pressure

the 111. 19 for double 16. Is it eight out of eight? 95. Jason, you

require 32. Stop the clocks!! He's missed one!! Double eight for Jason

Cullen for the first leg of set number four. Has to just readjust,

move across the oche! 27. He's missed. And another chance for Paul.

Paul, you require 16. Double eight, his target. Double

eight he hits. The first leg, Paul Jennings. Gets a massive double

eight in that match against Ross Montgomery. He's only two legs away

now. Andrea still looks stressed, mind you!

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

love to lay credit to this line myself, but one of the cameraman

said the stonemason is between a rock and a hard place. And you

can't argue with that assessment. Look at this. 180!

CHEERING 60. He's speeding up, isn't it,

Jason Cullen? Almost like he wants to get off the stage now.

top, then. Two darts at it. This would be aerator. 20. -- this would

be a rarity. 20. Jason simply must take. Good start for him. 18 leaves

double-top. He's had six darts at it in the match so far and missed

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

leg since the first set of the match in the third leg of the match.

That run continues. Game, Paul Jennings. Nine legs in a row.

to go first. Game on! Going the way of the Englishman. One more. And

Jenno's through to the last eight. Of course, the irony is that

Jennings hasn't been in brilliant form. He's reached only one

quarterfinal in his last nine tournaments. He reached the last

eight in October, having struggled in the World Masters. But when it

matters on this stage, just brings out the best of him. We saw it last

year and we're seeing it this year. would like to see Jason Cullen win

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

46 start to this leg from Paul Jennings. Again struggling to find

those in the Cullen family. 140. has done himself proud. Just, again,

to put his achievement of being here in perspective. He had to

qualify for Lakeside by winning seven matches in the play-offs,

including a victory over four-time participant Joey Tenberger. His

tournament has been going on for months already.

A good leg from him here. Two ton 40s and a ton. Surely he will win

this one. 100. Jason, you require 40.

Jason. Jason Cullen! CHEERING

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not whistle while the players are

throwing. Thank you. Fourth leg. Jason to go first. Game

on. The referee, Hugh, just reminding the crowd as to their

responsibilities at certain stages. 59. He will feel a little bit

better about it, but probably only a little.

Jennings straight back in. Unlucky, but only his second bount-

out in the match. 100 -- bounce-out well, that leg that Jason won

against the darts, but to win the next two... 47. Perhaps just the

sense, I don't know, might be being unkind to Paul that the finishing

line is in sight. Lost his way. A wee bit over the last couple of

legs. He's averaging just on the way a little bit, but he is so

close. And thall wake him up. -- and that will wake him up.

60. Imagine what she would feel Went for the treble 18. 58. Paul,

you require 120. For the match for leave double-top. 100.

Jason, you require 40. Or here we go. It's a huge question mark, but

was that a turning point? It might have been. It might have been. You

never know! That's two legs in a row for Jason Cullen.

Fifth leg, Paul to throw first. Game on. But Paul is throwing first.

He's had a dart for a place in the quarterfinals. That can do funny

36 years to represent the Republic of Ireland at the BDO World

Championships. None of them have ever made it through to the

quarterfinals. And unless we see one of the great comebacks in

recent times, we will still be able to say that. 42. In a few minutes'

time. Nevertheless, having lost nine legs in a row, he's won the

last two when he's had to. And this He's going to have to win it.

extend the match. Jennings just had a look at this. He needs the treble.

No. Jennings will be back. 56. points away now from a place in the

quarterfinals, for the second year running. It can be done in two

darts. 18s first. Yes. Two darts, if he

needs them - a double 16 for the match. Paul Jennings. Yes! There it

is. There it is. There's the celebration. The scoring was

clinical. His finishing, at times, was merciful. A minimum of fuss, a

minimum of stress. Jenno goes through.

With his laid-back approach, Geert De Vos was attaining something of

cult status at this year's Lakeside. And the only Belgian in the draw

had once again found his way into the second round. But standing in

his way of a place of the last eight was waits -- Scott Waites,

Oh, and a good start. The lad from Belgium, Geert De Vos.

Scotty. But, like I said, swept up, but Geert De Vos now a chance to

move in. Scott Waites winning the first

three legs. And at that point, Geert hadn't had a shot at a double.

The second set, Waites, none out of ten. As a consequence, he's level.

It's squared up at one each. times he has got him on the run.

One two,, three, ton. 140. That's his last three visits to the board.

To take the lead in the match, a single 14. Out of the way.

The shot is double 18. Just asking the referee.

He's getting the right information. Double 18.

10. Scott, you require 141. Hasn't had a three-figure checkout

this week yet. Didn't really need one against

Willy van de Wiel, in all fairness, such was the consistency of his

scoring. 93! Geert De Vos with a chance at double 18 to take the

lead for the first time in the game, and a fourth successive leg.

Oh, will that be a costly set of darts? Good finish. Double 16. Keep

in line. There it is. He will be kicking himself, Geert De Vos.

Should have had that one. Game on. And the double trouble Waites had

in the second set has now transferred itself over to Geert De

Vos. Five times he missed double 18 in that leg. Waites hit double 16

at the first time of asking. Good one, that. Right in the middle.

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

think, from Scotty. Straight in the middle. 140.

The arm dropped down there. A very loose arm.

180!! CHEERING

De Vos with his first maximum. Normally plays with the wrist,

throws straight through. 105. Scott, you require 75. Treble 17. 18 now

would leave double-top. So it's a double-top for Waites! 35. Not been

good to him so far. You require 82. 82 for Geert. Went for the bull. 17.

Oh, dear. Well, you can't afford to miss the big ones. So double-top

for Waites. Three darts to do it. Double ten. Double five. Oh, dear.

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

favourite. Double-top for De Vos. And he hits the single one, which

means obviously can't finish with this last dart. Eight. Double 16 if

he comes back. Hasn't been a masterclass of finishing in the

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

0 in the third. Scott Waites. Third leg, Geert to throw first. Game on.

A lot of nerves up there. 100.

Fancy dress is almost derigeur here at Lakeside. You should see what

Tony is wearing tonight! Well, Geert De Vos, 96, 26. Come on,

liven up. We know what you can do. 180! Getting the applause from a

great crowd here. 100. The chance for Geert. A chance that he has to

take. Gotta hold his throw in this leg to stay in the set, of course.

on a good finish of 100. 97. Geert, you require 100. OK, come on.

Double-top, straight in. Still treble 20. 27. Scott, you require

144. Look at the treble 18s here, the Belgian. Two darts at double

eight after that great first dart. Not such a good second. And a good

third. Geert De Vos. Fourth leg, Scott to throw first. Game on.

Jacky and co, euphoric. OK. Needs this leg to take this set. 140.

great way to start - 140. 135. across... 15 instead of 60. A good

start here from Scotty. Oh, yes. 140. Two 140s. Looking good now.

For the set. 96. So, a significant lead. A treble here will give him a

good chance of wrapping up this third set. 100. Left 121, on his

next visit. 100. Scott, you require 121. Treble 20. 11. All the trebles.

Well, double 18 now. Yes! CHEERING

2-1 now to Scotty in sets. It's Scott to throw first. Game on.

His biggest checkout of the week - a 121. He leads 2-1.

134. Yeah, good cover shots there. Treble 19s. He's under all sorts of

pressure now. 114. 140. 134, 140. Start of this fourth set, leading

2-1 in sets. Scotty Waites. Is this gonna be his year? 45. 140.

cannot be serious! LAUGHS 59. Scott, you require 87. OK. Treble 17.

Double 18. Double nine. Yes! It's there. Well done. Scott Waites.

Second leg, Geert to throw first. Game on. He's a set up, he's a leg

83. The one good thing with Scotty is just playing the board. He

forgot about his opponent. -- 96.

quarterfinal of the Grand Slam of Darts this year. He beat Phil

Taylor 5-2 in an earlier round. The Czech Open, he won. Which took his

career tally to 13 ranking titles. At Lakeside, it's the one that has

eluded him. Good formulate in the tournament has eluded him. OK, a

chance here now. needed a treble on that visit to

the oche. 156 if he comes barks which he will be doing. 185 on the

board for Scotty. So there is an opportunity here. Geert, you

require 156. Two treble 20s. Another one. Yes! Double 18! Oh!

Unlucky. 120. A wry smile. require 101. But will he be

punished? A great chance for a 156. Nine. Leaves double 16 for Waites!

85. The wait goes on! Geert, you require 36. Double 18.

Geert De Vos. Game on. Yeah, me old mate said - the legend.

140. A true legend. Certainly here in spirit, no doubt about that.

will be looking down. 93. Some family as well, Irene.

140. A good start to this leg. 140, 140.

Scott Waites. 92. 96. 125. Scott, you require 125. Take the 25

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

93. Geert a long, long way back. 140. Scott, you require 32. Puts a

little bit of pressure on the double 16 for Scott Waites. Now

double eight. 16. Just letting him down, his finishing, at times. And

a glirm of hope for the Bell -- and a glimmer of hope for the Bellian.

He wants double 16. Well, lucky Scotty, you're coming back. Scott,

you require 16. Double eight. Double four.

Double two. Honestly, sometimes on the doubles, it's lost him so many

matches. Six missed darts in a double in this leg alone. 26 missed

darts at a double in the match so far. Double eight for Geert De Vos!

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

So, here we go. A chance now. Geert De Vos throwing first. Needs this

leg for the set. 67. And then... 140. You can score all night, but

you've got to hit the doubles as well. That score now, by the fact

that six legs that De Vos has won, Waites had had darts at doubleness

five of them, but he's only hitting every fifth double at the moment.

140. Mind you, he's a scoring machine.

require 161. After nine darts, so a 12-dart finish here. Needed the

treble. 81 left. Options - 15s or 19s, anything you want. 137.

There's your 24. A knock at the door!

96. Scott, you require 24. Waiting for the finish - double 12. Yes.

It's done. All square in the set. Fifth, it's Scott to throw first.

Game on. And against the darts, Scott Waites

hits double 12. And he takes us into a deciding leg in this fourth

set. 99. This leg the difference between a 3-1 Waites lead or 2-2,

as the players go off for another mini break at the end of this leg.

140. I think the way Geert De Vos has been throwing, he deserves to

go in at 2-2. I think that would be only fair, to be honest. He's

really been under pressure, especially by the power of Scotty.

77. Yeah, good recovery. Treble 18. 54 points.

99. There's Clive, Scott's dad. Deep in conversation. 100. He's

Scott Waites... Yes. He's got that big one. 95. Scott, you require 148.

Can't be done. Business end of a massive leg. 148, the target for

Scott Waites. Great start. Another one for double

14 and a 148 for the set! Brilliant!! And the tournament

favourite. That is why the bookies think he is the man that everyone

has to beat! A massive set of darts from Waites, just when you needed

it most. Game on. Plenty of work for Geert De Vos to

do, trailing 3-1 as we start the fifth set. 100.

Yeah, and Scotty has been missing a lot of finishes, though, during the

match. But all he requires is one set for

victory. 83. He's got to really get his act together, has Geert. 97.

think he's got the talent. 134. Decent stuff, Geert De Vos, in

this fifth set. 100. Geert, you require 88.

he's looking at now. Treble 20. 18 will leave bull. Bull's-eye for

Geert De Vos. 63. Scott, you require 108. 18s or Shanghai.

Single. Yes. Very difficult. Reached double. 72. I think that

second dart has been adjusted. Double 11.

Scott, you require 36. Double 18, then, for Scott, after mistakes

from Geert. Mistakes punished again. Scott Waites.

Scott to throw first, game on. Creeping ever closer now is Scott

Waites. Just two legs away. 100.

Come on, Geert. Great match. Let's keep it going. 100.

Mark, the referee. Doing a great job. And that gives

him a chance now. Some pretty flamboyant headwear in there. I

tell you something, the bloke in the dark blue wig there, that's a
