:00:55. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:01.have reached the semi stage. Tonight's big game was the debutant
:01:01. > :01:11.up against Lisa Ashton riding high after knocking out the number 1
:01:11. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:25.seed in the quarters. Lisa Ashton against Shannon cap Prince for a
:01:25. > :01:29.
:01:29. > :01:36.place in the 21013 world final. I do not want to spoil it for
:01:36. > :01:46.everybody. Martin Adams walked past me and said simply "Lisa wins". So
:01:46. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:20.that's that! Yep, neither of these players are seeded. Lisa here an
:02:20. > :02:30.average of near on 80. As she beat the number 1 seed in the
:02:30. > :02:32.
:02:32. > :02:36.quarterfinals. Sharon accounted for the number 4 seed Armstrong,
:02:36. > :02:46.quarters. quarters. Lisa playing for 20 years
:02:46. > :03:12.
:03:12. > :03:22.now from Lancashire. Anne Westwood was the star then. Good marker for
:03:22. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:31.it. Good match this already. She could win the first leg! 16 and
:03:31. > :03:41.double 16 for the first leg. Yes, that will do! Second leg for Sharon
:03:41. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:18.to roll first. Game on. Rides a powerful motorbike! Still the best
:04:18. > :04:21.
:04:21. > :04:31.lot of three sets in the ladies matches. What would you say that
:04:31. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:39.was? A honey monster! At the darts, loves this dart honey monster. "You
:04:39. > :04:46.got the honey, mummy?" is the one? That's the one. Sharon is making
:04:46. > :04:53.her Lakeside debut this year, so she is unbeaten up on that stage.
:04:53. > :04:56.Lisa, having reached the quarterfinals in 2009 and 2012 and
:04:56. > :05:02.lost both tiles is also in unchartered waters having won her
:05:02. > :05:12.first match. 131 then, can't be done! You hit 5 first dart. Yeah,
:05:12. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :05:34.Lisa coming back on 125. So Sharon Prince with a chance on 101. Double
:05:34. > :05:48.
:05:48. > :05:53.real preach real preach win and she seems to have lost none of
:05:53. > :06:03.her confidence when she is facing a double, great stuff. I think the
:06:03. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:47.men should be watching this. I like style. Very tall girl stands solid,
:06:47. > :06:54.front foot pointing at the treble. More upright but we are all going
:06:54. > :07:04.in the same way, getting scores. Shannon on 161 with a on the, 140,
:07:04. > :07:05.
:07:05. > :07:08.100. This is better than the men - ton. How about this? You would not
:07:08. > :07:18.put it past you, would you? The way she has been throwing this leg.
:07:18. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:38.Can't be done!. 81 left. Can she finish though? That is the main
:07:38. > :07:43.thing. She can't not now. She is bust. Should have been a double 15.
:07:43. > :07:51.Earlier... Goes to China, Shanghai for Lisa Ashton. Yes, a double dart
:07:51. > :08:01.for the set. Lisa Ashton. Extraordinary finishing. Sharon to
:08:01. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:09.throw first. How must Sharon be feeling after that? She was on 21.
:08:09. > :08:16.After 12 darts only to see Lisa Ashton with a big finish again. It
:08:16. > :08:20.is unbelievable. Look at that. She only has had one dart with the
:08:20. > :08:27.double Sharon Prince. 75 for Lisa Ashton. Three out of four including
:08:27. > :08:37.her last three. The average is a fairly tasty thing too. Yes, it
:08:37. > :08:43.
:08:43. > :08:53.shook Sharon previously because only hit 45 in a 44. Come on she
:08:53. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :08:59.says. That dart she missed as a double, she did hit a double. She
:08:59. > :09:04.was going for double 16, hit double 8 then followed it in. I'm not sure
:09:04. > :09:14.we count that as a missed double. Maybe we will continue it as half a
:09:14. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:34.missed double. Three and a half out of four! England international is
:09:34. > :09:59.
:09:59. > :10:02.Lisa. I wonder 50 left, 251 to Sharon Prince. Double 16. Stunning
:10:03. > :10:06.fishishing from Lisa Ashton. She is one of the best players out there.
:10:06. > :10:11.She does not play an awful lot so does not accumulate the ranking
:10:11. > :10:21.point to be seeded here, but having come through qualifier she is doing
:10:21. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:39.real damage to this draw. Fourth out of six double hits. La can
:10:39. > :10:49.share player and English international. She enjoys Chinese
:10:49. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:08.food, walking and swimming but not necessarily in that order. You have
:11:08. > :11:18.to travel - look at the way she lost the first leg in the first set
:11:18. > :11:25.having thrown 12 fantastic darts. 21. Straight into the big 20, bust
:11:25. > :11:29.that onto see Lisa Ashton take out 12 for the set. Not much time to
:11:29. > :11:39.recover either in this best of three set format. Another treble 20.
:11:39. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :12:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:12:23. > :12:33.Unlucky. May go for two. You have heard of magic darts, one is most
:12:33. > :13:01.
:13:01. > :13:10.amused. One is most impressed, double 1. She really has to do
:13:10. > :13:15.something now. She has to win, three legs in a row Sharon Prince
:13:15. > :13:21.if she toys reach the final. Then the next step. Does not help to
:13:21. > :13:31.look that far ahead. She would just be thinking if she can Nick this
:13:31. > :13:41.
:13:41. > :13:48.you never know. The last leg always the hardest. When the finishing
:13:48. > :13:58.line gets lows did arms start tensing up. Hard the stop it, isn't
:13:58. > :14:23.
:14:23. > :14:32.it. She lives in the Netherlands, does Sharon. Relatively quiet leg
:14:32. > :14:42.this room for Lisa. Sharon taking advantage now. An advantage ever 40
:14:42. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:57.plus these three. It is an out-shot. She knows what it is like to be
:14:57. > :15:04.champion. Nine times champion. Could yet be ten. They are
:15:04. > :15:12.supporting Lisa. England team-mates. Look at that, pressuring 1. Sharon
:15:12. > :15:22.knows she has to take this out of the way - - 71. Lisa has been
:15:22. > :15:25.
:15:25. > :15:35.finishing. 15 or 1 and the bull? - - 15. It's the bull. Options 50
:15:35. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:45.double top, 19 double 18. That is double top. Lisa Ashton! We could
:15:45. > :15:51.see it. He told us, didn't he, Martin Adams? He told us Lisa would
:15:51. > :15:58.win. He did not say how easily she would do it. Was mighty impressive.
:15:58. > :16:01.would do it. Was mighty impressive. Lisa Ashton is in the world final.
:16:01. > :16:06.Darren the Dazzler delighted his fans in the second round. Here he
:16:06. > :16:11.was on the verge of his first a appearance in the Lakeside semis
:16:11. > :16:14.for four years but standing in his way is a tall and confident
:16:14. > :16:23.Dutchman after his second Dutchman after his second
:16:23. > :16:33.successive Lakeside semi. It is the first of five sets now in the
:16:33. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:45.quarter-finals t best of nine. There is a food thing about that
:16:45. > :16:55.for momentum the sway one way or the other. But if he keeps this up
:16:55. > :17:00.it will be very difficult for Daryl to rest any momentum off him.
:17:00. > :17:07.Tfrpblgts last dart there for the Dazzler, speaking to people asking
:17:07. > :17:12.them to predict how this one might go. The common thread was, well, it
:17:13. > :17:18.is going to be close. It will go into probably eight or nine sets or
:17:18. > :17:23.could go either way. Daryl the marginal fave witness the
:17:23. > :17:33.bookmakers despite the fact he is the number - - favourite - - 16
:17:33. > :17:33.
:17:33. > :17:43.seed and Wesley number 8. And that will do him the world of good.
:17:43. > :18:14.
:18:14. > :18:21.Daryl on a finish. That will first leg on the board. Treble 20
:18:21. > :18:31.here with double 18. Double 18. Game! His first leg of the night
:18:31. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :18:44.with a wild one! Wesley introduced himself to the Lakeside cowed last
:18:44. > :18:54.year with those fingerless gloves he wears, won three matches before
:18:54. > :18:59.losing 6-5 to Tony O'Shea, Daryl's best mate. 139. In the semifinal,
:18:59. > :19:05.Dazzler has been a Lakeside favourite since 2003. He has been
:19:05. > :19:12.here every year since reaching semifinals in 205 when he lost to
:19:12. > :19:17.Raymond van Barnevelle and when he lost to his best mate Tony O'Shea.
:19:17. > :19:27.They hate playing each other up on that stage but both love the Honey

:19:35. > :19:45.Monster. There was I thinking I was in viefing Lakeside atmosphere. - -
:19:45. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :20:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:20:28. > :20:36.would leave double 9 for a 123 for Wesley. The way they started you
:20:36. > :20:44.would not put it past him, not this time. Now we will go for treble 19
:20:44. > :20:50.and find it. I think it is 144, to hold this throw. Two darts at
:20:50. > :21:00.double 4 Wesley. This is a brilliant start to this
:21:00. > :21:10.quarterfinal. Daryl came down if two sets to one, another Dutchman
:21:10. > :21:40.
:21:40. > :21:43.in round 1. Second time he has hit double 4 in this match already.
:21:43. > :21:53.What would the commuters on the train have thought of that, rush
:21:53. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:35.hour? Treble 17 now would leave bull. Wesley not on a check-out. He
:22:35. > :22:38.
:22:38. > :22:48.is going another way around to leave himself double 16. Daryl
:22:48. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:25.requires 32. Level the set at two legs all. Led in the first round
:23:25. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:33.but held his nerve to win it 5-3. Lost a leg 6-7 in one game but came
:23:33. > :23:37.back 2-1 down to win in the second round winning nine legs out of 13.
:23:37. > :23:47.The average 98 in those last three sets, he started even better than
:23:47. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:22.that tonight. Look at this. Still in the first set. Treble 17 would
:24:22. > :24:32.leads the bull's eye. Yes, bull's eye for Wesley in the first set!
:24:32. > :24:49.
:24:49. > :24:54.Take that. The first set magnificent. Both men averaging
:24:54. > :24:59.near as makes no difference 100. Between them they fit five out of
:24:59. > :25:09.seven darts at a double and both are fit three-figure check-outs. It
:25:09. > :25:09.
:25:09. > :26:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:26:18. > :26:28.has been magnificent. We barely got started. Tops for the first leg of
:26:28. > :26:32.
:26:32. > :26:37.the second set. Just one necessary. Wesley requires 129. That is his
:26:37. > :26:47.first missed double of the match. Can he be made the payoff the back
:26:47. > :27:26.
:27:26. > :27:31.No problem! E is really an advantage when you think it big
:27:31. > :27:39.scores and think it big scores they have both been doing. Look at that.
:27:39. > :27:42.99 and 94.5. The averages. This sort of standard would grace any
:27:42. > :27:52.final. Just to put those stats in perspective, we have only played
:27:52. > :27:52.
:27:52. > :37:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:37:33. > :37:43.six legs. This is the worst leg of He has won three legs in a row,
:37:43. > :37:45.
:37:45. > :37:52.Daryl. He will have a chance to Daryl. He will have a chance to
:37:52. > :38:02.make it four from 136. Good pressure this. He cannot filmish
:38:02. > :38:10.
:38:10. > :38:19.now so he has a opportunity to bake back straight away. He has hit the
:38:19. > :38:29.bull's eye for double 4. The break straight back. Missed it in the
:38:29. > :39:04.
:39:04. > :39:13.way is 16 from Martin Adams. they keep this up, and that is
:39:13. > :39:22.unpressure. Stands quite straight- onto the board, Daryl. Got a solid
:39:22. > :39:32.base and just hits the dart at the board. Wesley is taller, Skinner
:39:32. > :39:32.
:39:32. > :40:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:40:20. > :40:30.13-darter goes for a 14 instead. Double 16. He will make do with a
:40:30. > :40:50.
:40:50. > :41:00.15-darter. Wesley will know he will not get many opportunity but this
:41:00. > :41:16.
:41:16. > :41:26.could be won and if he can take it he will move ahead in sets.
:41:26. > :41:26.
:41:26. > :42:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:42:16. > :42:19.Slightly more impressive now. Not finish. Spinnish under all sorts
:42:19. > :42:29.ever pressure under that maximum from Wesley. So he needs a treble
:42:29. > :42:33.
:42:33. > :42:43.here. This is for the set, double 11. Double 11 then for the set.
:42:43. > :42:43.
:42:43. > :42:49.Daryl not happy. Felt as though someone call out from the floor.
:42:49. > :42:59.Can't finish now having think it super 11. Have a go at 6-6 an the
:42:59. > :42:59.
:43:00. > :43:09.crowd roaring their support. Two darts at double top to level the
:43:10. > :43:16.
:43:16. > :43:21.set. Yes, he's done it. Please, please, please can we stop the
:43:21. > :43:28.flash photography. It does put the players off much please give them
:43:28. > :43:33.the best respect. Just go over Daryl's right shoulder as the dart
:43:33. > :43:37.was just about to be thrown and he very quickly had a word with the
:43:37. > :43:47.referee just asking once again just over his shoulder there and it does
:43:47. > :44:02.
:44:02. > :44:12.put to layers off. Woblg from Wesley. The wobble did not last
:44:12. > :44:28.
:44:28. > :44:34.lock. But if he can fine another ton here, which he can't. Two pint
:44:34. > :44:42.of lager and a packet of crisps, that will be about the smallest
:44:42. > :44:51.order here. Will here to support Daryl. Wesley requires 161. He has
:44:51. > :45:01.done it before for a set. He needs another treble 17. Not this time.
:45:01. > :45:01.
:45:01. > :45:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:45:48. > :45:52.here who feel like that. The man who has had the dart for the first

:46:02. > :46:25.
:46:25. > :46:35.occasions so far. His most recent the Polish Open of 2011. His

:46:36. > :46:42.Lakeside record stand up to finalist, and recent quarterfinal
:46:42. > :46:52.its four times so a 2 and 2 record at this stage. The the two
:46:52. > :46:58.occasions he lost were to Andy Fordham and Mark Webster. 161 here.
:46:58. > :47:01.Hams has hit one of these. Not going to finish at this juncture so
:47:01. > :47:11.Daryl knows he is going to be back here. There is hope for more than

:47:11. > :48:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:48:05. > :48:15.65. Wesley to go first. Game on. This is for number 7
:48:15. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:50.121. I'm sure it was a toss up for the brimly Green set tonight.
:48:51. > :49:00.to watch Fitton against Hams or La Boheme? I tell you what, I think he
:49:01. > :49:31.
:49:31. > :49:36.first start, leaves him two at double top. Needs the second one.
:49:36. > :49:40.The second leg. The finishing from both these men has been so good. So
:49:40. > :49:50.far they have only been two legs where a layer has had a dart at a
:49:50. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :50:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:50:47. > :50:57.double missed it and gone onto lose When he is back he is on an 11-

:50:57. > :52:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:52:03. > :52:07.darter. One against Stephen Bunt evening in the last round. We have
:52:07. > :52:17.not even been close to the mad house tonight. Double 1. Their
:52:17. > :52:48.
:52:48. > :52:58.finishing has been that good. He is like good for it for this. We have
:52:58. > :52:58.
:52:58. > :53:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:53:47. > :53:54.one of those deciding fifth legs unall sorts of pressure. He must
:53:54. > :54:04.hold or he is 3-1 down. Lovely position for Wesley. At worset,
:54:04. > :54:23.
:54:23. > :54:33.they are level at the break. Not a time for the bed-and-breakfast for
:54:33. > :55:12.
:55:12. > :55:22.he can't. Need as treble. Well done. Crucial leg for him. Will it be 3-
:55:22. > :55:22.
:55:22. > :56:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:56:10. > :56:17.1Harms or 2-2? We will find out very shortly. Psychology from
:56:17. > :56:21.Fitton, great. He knows he has him on his side. He just seemed to
:56:21. > :56:31.shake Wesley. Now 7, double 4 forfeit John to make it-2 instead
:56:31. > :56:51.
:56:51. > :56:56.of a 3-1 deficit. One more dart at the commentary box with us. He said
:56:56. > :57:06.that this is a World Championship. This is the sort of darts we should
:57:06. > :57:10.
:57:10. > :57:18.be seeing. We are seeing it. 140 after the break, from Wesley Harms.
:57:18. > :57:28.First one from Darryl Fitton. Great stuff. Those numbers are not shabby
:57:28. > :57:39.
:57:39. > :57:49.either - 10 out of 17 for Fit. 41% is pretty good - 9 out of 22. Both
:57:49. > :58:04.
:58:04. > :58:12.players averaging over 98. 33 or so with every dart. Played the
:58:12. > :58:22.advantage then, with the darts, in the 5th set. That was not on the
:58:22. > :58:24.
:58:24. > :58:32.finish, 166 - a bogey number. Treble 19 would lead treble 16 -
:58:33. > :58:42.that's what he was booking at. Two darts to hit it for the first leg
:58:43. > :58:43.
:58:43. > :58:48.in the fifth. Now double 4. It's been good. The double - he's hit it
:58:48. > :58:55.four times out of five in the match so far. The first dart in the
:58:55. > :59:02.treble. Set that up. The way he's playing, he doesn't need more.
:59:02. > :59:11.Talking of match play, you mentioned it, Jim, during
:59:11. > :59:18.commentary. Just to reiterate. 180 from Darryl Fitton towards the end
:59:18. > :59:21.of the last set shook Wesley Harms. It was not the right thing to do as
:59:21. > :59:26.far as Darryl Fitton and the dartboard, but as far as the match
:59:26. > :59:36.and the stage it was the right thing to do. You saw what happened,

:00:32. > :00:36.
:00:36. > :00:43.double 16, 2-0. A great leg from Wesley Harms. He's had a fantastic
:00:43. > :00:47.fifth set so far since he came back off the break. Heavy scoring.
:00:47. > :00:52.Perfect finishing. If he was frustrated that he didn't take a 3-
:00:52. > :01:02.1 lead, he had a dart at double 6 to do that. He's certainly been
:01:02. > :01:03.
:01:04. > :01:13.able to put it behind him straightaway. This is Wesley Harms
:01:14. > :01:14.
:01:14. > :01:18.set. If he goes with the throw - but a 3-0 - that is something of
:01:18. > :01:23.huge psychological advantage to him. We mentioned in the longer game
:01:23. > :01:31.that there is plenty of time for momentum switches - one way then
:01:31. > :01:41.the other. Time is sort of running out. Only five sets left, or a
:01:41. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:52.maximum of five sets left. One player can run away with it here.
:01:52. > :01:55.He's still only ever lost a one match, and he's sixth on the
:01:55. > :02:04.Lakeside stage. It was against Tony O'Shea in an extraordinarily
:02:04. > :02:14.semifinal last year that he had. Not short of confidence. Backs
:02:14. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:26.himself, Wesley. 161 to steal the leg back against the darts. He
:02:26. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:41.can't do it now, having hit the single 1. This is for the set. 161

:02:47. > :02:57.- 164 will have to wait. As might the set., 20, double 10. Two
:02:57. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:14.singles and a double. 104 for Wesley Harms here. Taking a 3-2
:03:14. > :03:34.
:03:34. > :03:41.double 10 to make sure he's back in the leg. Now, double 5 - only one
:03:41. > :03:51.dart at it. First time all match he struggled like that. He's had a
:03:51. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:08.double 6 for a set before. Two 3s - well done. Quick set. It's gone the
:04:08. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:23.way of Wesley Harms. That was a superb 5th set from Wesley Harms.

:06:14. > :06:24.Fitton looking at double 16. Trouble in the last leg - five

:06:35. > :06:35.
:06:35. > :06:45.fight back. Here comes Harms again. Number 6 - 14 between the pair of
:06:45. > :06:47.
:06:47. > :06:51.them in a match of sensational high scoring. They're feeding off each
:06:51. > :07:01.other, they are feeding off the crowd and they are producing what
:07:01. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:27.is, for the rest of the field, six daunting darts. You can spit on the
:07:27. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:37.final. Darryl Fitton has hit them so far. They are just coming back
:07:37. > :07:38.
:07:38. > :07:45.up again. Great, great darts from Harms. All three trebles. And
:07:45. > :07:55.leaving himself on a decent finish as well. 180 - still 171 in this
:07:55. > :08:12.
:08:12. > :08:22.leg. Bull's eye. Every time he's pulled one into the one, when
:08:22. > :08:23.
:08:23. > :08:33.looking at 161. 13 for Harms leaves double 16 then for 11 in the sixth
:08:33. > :08:38.
:08:38. > :08:48.set. Double Dutch delight for Wesley Harms. A touch of the Dutch
:08:48. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:57.around the doubles has been excellent for Wesley. For all the
:08:57. > :09:07.heavy scoring that we have been constantly referring to - the
:09:07. > :09:17.
:09:17. > :09:22.percentages check out very tidy as well. Wesley says he's practised an
:09:22. > :09:27.awful lot, unless the adrenalin is there. He doesn't really get an
:09:27. > :09:33.awful lot out of it. A little there, not too much more than that, before
:09:33. > :09:43.he came over here. The adrenalin pumping there, forcing through the
:09:43. > :09:49.veins of both players, driving each other on. For all the fact that no
:09:49. > :09:56.doubt he has the sport, and I'm sure that Sparky has plenty of
:09:56. > :10:06.support from the Netherlands as well. They come every year. Every
:10:06. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:19.year they are wearing their best orange. Darryl Fitton cannot afford.
:10:19. > :10:29.He's 3-2 down in sets. And a 5- minute wobble will see him on the
:10:29. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:41.brink. So far the pair of them traded blows - punch for punch.
:10:41. > :10:51.Crucial last dart. Moving on for the finish. Wesley looking at 101
:10:51. > :10:58.
:10:58. > :11:02.against the darts. Treble 20 at the top. This is a big set of darts for
:11:02. > :11:07.Darryl. Single 19. It's not what the doctor ordered at that moment
:11:07. > :11:12.in time. That means that Harms will be back - looking at double top.
:11:12. > :11:22.Already a set up. It will be a leg up against the darts if he hits
:11:22. > :11:22.
:11:22. > :11:32.this. Three darts at double top. That could be a big leg of darts in
:11:32. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:43.in this match. Those in the orange think he's on his way. It's a
:11:43. > :11:53.second-strict semifinal. Darryl Fitton has been in two semifinals,
:11:53. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:08.and twice failed to go the one step beyond. Must win two legs here. The
:12:08. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:20.way Wesley Harms is playing it will be tough to win three sets in a row.
:12:20. > :12:30.Needs a big score. He has come behind in both of his matches. He
:12:30. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :15:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:15:57. > :16:07.The lights are going out on Darryl Fitton's Lakeside campaign at the
:16:07. > :16:09.
:16:09. > :16:19.moment. He needs to start with a break and he has a chance of doing
:16:19. > :16:27.
:16:27. > :16:36.it as well here. Double 16 - he has done it. Darryl Fitton fired up.
:16:36. > :16:42.Has to win three successive sets. That's the perfect start. He has
:16:42. > :16:52.broken the throw. He has the crowd on his side. He has fire in his
:16:52. > :16:56.
:16:56. > :17:06.belly. Or is that another flash? It seemed to come from the same place
:17:06. > :17:11.
:17:11. > :17:20.as well. Doesn't seem to affect Darryl Fitton's throwing much. He's
:17:20. > :17:25.not happy at all. He's looking over his shoulder here. Exactly the same
:17:26. > :17:32.place as last time - or very nearly. Not at all happy, Darryl Fitton.
:17:32. > :17:42.Talk about that little bit of fire in the belly that can do him good.
:17:42. > :17:44.
:17:45. > :17:54.You wonder if that may spur him on. Both these players do a good line
:17:55. > :17:59.
:17:59. > :18:09.in scouls, don't they. -- scowls. They are both, the gentlest people
:18:09. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:22.you could meet. Thinking, thinking, thinking. Wesley Harms. 18 and two
:18:22. > :18:32.double 20s left him on a finish. He started on the 18. Just out of the
:18:32. > :18:41.
:18:41. > :18:48.bullseye. He's now not on the finish. Brilliant start. A chance
:18:48. > :18:54.to break straight back with Darryl Fitton. He's on 165, which he can't
:18:54. > :19:04.check out, however good his darts are. At least he pressures the
:19:04. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:29.double top. Harms has been in superb bows form so far. Friends
:19:29. > :19:36.
:19:36. > :19:41.and Wesley's girlfriend watching, cheering. That was a good start.
:19:41. > :19:47.Again, it's the psychological impact of what he will do for
:19:47. > :19:57.Darryl. He won the first leg of the set with double 16. Nervous against
:19:57. > :20:00.
:20:00. > :20:10.the darts. He's broken back straightaway. Two legs away. It's a
:20:10. > :20:46.
:20:46. > :20:56.little opening here for Darryl Fitton. Harms has found a treble.
:20:56. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:24.Shane Fitzsimmons is in the box seat here. 90 to Darryl Fitton here.
:21:24. > :21:33.Nop score. He has busted -- no score. He has busted. It's double 7,
:21:33. > :21:43.15 left. Double 18 for the bullseye. Bullseye. It's a virtual match
:21:43. > :21:50.
:21:50. > :21:56.point. Must take out 90. Must. Gone a different way about it this time.
:21:56. > :22:06.Double 15. Two darts at it. Now he can't finish. On an odd number, one
:22:06. > :22:11.dart left. 25 to move within a leg. Two darts to double 8. He's a leg
:22:11. > :22:21.away. In his first semifinal appearance. Darryl Fitton - really
:22:21. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:34.up against it now. He's in big trouble. The Lakeside stage has not
:22:34. > :22:41.always been a happy hunting ground. A first victory since a win against
:22:41. > :22:46.Scott Waite in the 2009 quarterfinal. A brilliant display
:22:46. > :22:53.against Stephen Bunting in the last round. After breathtaking darts
:22:53. > :23:01.from both men, then the opening four sets here - he's Harms that
:23:01. > :23:07.has been able to take control and run towards the finishing line.
:23:07. > :23:17.That shake of the head and the shoulders drooping. I wonder if he
:23:17. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:53.thinks it's all over. You can never give up. Sensing glory. She's
:23:53. > :24:02.portraying what she thought would be a 60 there, with a slight
:24:02. > :24:12.opening. Finds himself 10 behind. He may have been more behind. He
:24:12. > :24:15.
:24:15. > :24:25.gets himself to the finish. 25 here. Just has a look at the score board
:24:25. > :24:40.
:24:40. > :24:49.again. This is -- this will help. This is for the semifinal. Not this
:24:49. > :24:55.time. Darryl has not thrown his final dart at Lakeside 2013. Which
:24:55. > :25:04.way is he going - nine or one? It's nine. For double 16. To level the
:25:04. > :25:11.set. Yes. Well done. Well done. There was a moment in that leg
:25:11. > :25:21.where we wondered. A shake of the head. It didn't look good. Things
:25:21. > :25:29.
:25:29. > :25:33.are looking brighter. He's still alive. Sharp exhalation of breath
:25:33. > :25:37.from Darryl Fitton. Massive double 16 keeps him alive. Yes, it's
:25:37. > :25:47.against the darts in this leg. All of a sudden it looked as though he
:25:47. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:37.was going home. Could be back to 4- in at the wrong time. It all looks
:26:37. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:51.as though it's going west for Darryl Fitton. Holland's glory not
:26:51. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:05.too far away now. 180 for Darryl. He needs to hit a treble here.
:27:05. > :27:15.Matched darts for Harms - albeit from 154. Darryl will have another
:27:15. > :27:16.
:27:16. > :27:24.chance. Watch the Lakeside roof come off if he takes out 156.
:27:24. > :27:27.Another one of those. Unlucky - unlucky Darryl. This could be his
:27:27. > :27:33.final dart of the World Championships. He's put Harms under
:27:34. > :27:43.pressure. The Dutchman is looking at treble 19 and double 6. 18 for
:27:44. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:52.double 16. This is for the match. Nerveless. Brilliant. Darryl Fitton,
:27:52. > :28:02.the former undertaker has been buried under a barrage of brilliant
:28:02. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:06.Darryl from the number 8 seed. Harms, calm, calculating, clinical.
:28:07. > :28:13.Talk about a battle of big personalities and reputations.
:28:13. > :28:16.Robbie Green, AKA Kong, has been a tour de force at darts.
:28:16. > :28:20.Surprisingsly this is his first appearance at a Lakeside
:28:20. > :28:25.quarterfinal. He'd have to draw on all the experience and expertise,
:28:25. > :28:35.he was up against the silver back Tony O'Shea, closing in on a fifth
:28:35. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:46.appearance, and the elusive title that he desperately wants. Both
:28:46. > :28:52.times he ended up losing the match. In the World Masters in 2009, and
:28:52. > :28:59.the following year - perhaps, just perhaps he was susceptible to a
:28:59. > :29:08.little self doubt on occasion, and having 8-set darts to have a 2-0
:29:08. > :29:18.lead here. He could probably have done with the break. What will he
:29:18. > :29:27.
:29:27. > :29:37.be like after it. That's one he could have done without. Twice a
:29:37. > :29:38.
:29:38. > :29:48.losing finalist. He's come close in both of those matches. Much, much
:29:48. > :29:56.
:29:56. > :30:02.better. There's been 12 180s in this match, and Rob joy has hadate.
:30:02. > :30:10.A chabs here, -- Robbie has had eight. A chance against the darts.
:30:10. > :30:20.A chance that has temporarily gone. No possible out for Tony. Great
:30:20. > :30:25.
:30:25. > :30:35.pressure applied. Three leads double 4, and now double 2. First
:30:35. > :30:35.
:30:35. > :30:45.leg to Robbie Green. It was against the darts, and you feel that it was
:30:45. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:59.important. First to five sets, through to the semifinal. 4-1 down.
:30:59. > :31:06.Four for Robbie Green. When he gets into the treble 20, there's a few
:31:06. > :31:16.who score heavier. Both avid football supporters, Robbie a
:31:16. > :31:17.
:31:17. > :31:24.football fan, and Tony pitching down at the county when he can. He
:31:24. > :31:34.always plays in the colours blue and white. Here comes Robbie again.
:31:34. > :31:36.
:31:36. > :31:46.Treble 19. Knowing that a 20 would have left himself. That's no finish.
:31:46. > :31:54.
:31:54. > :32:04.170 is a grand-dady. Three 140s for Tony to get to this point. Leads
:32:04. > :32:04.
:32:05. > :32:11.for a 12-dart finish. Pressure on Robbie here. Treble 18 leaves
:32:11. > :32:17.double 18. Great dart. Double 18. We really, really needed a whole.
:32:17. > :32:25.Taking out 110. He's given himself ab outstanding chance of halving
:32:25. > :32:32.the deficit of -- an outstanding chance of halving the deficit of
:32:32. > :32:40.checks. Tony O'Shea in 140 mode. That's his fourth in a row. Robbie
:32:40. > :32:49.Green has been leading a different approach this year. He's been
:32:49. > :32:59.swimming in jacuzzis on non-game days. He would do it on match day,
:32:59. > :33:11.
:33:11. > :33:21.but it does something to his fingers. Outstanding scoring from
:33:21. > :33:27.
:33:28. > :33:37.both players now. 143 in this leg is needed. Disappointing 60, but he
:33:38. > :33:49.
:33:49. > :33:59.will be back. 10 for Tony O'Shea. Treble 19 leads double 12. That's
:33:59. > :34:14.
:34:14. > :34:23.what he'll go for. This is for the set. It's half finished now. Double
:34:23. > :34:33.16 is the target. He's troubled around the double 16s, 14 attempts.
:34:33. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:46.Not the ultimate on that occasion, as he gets the leg back. Another
:34:46. > :34:56.fun-plus score for Tony O'Shea. A 30 second score of 100 or more.
:34:56. > :35:03.
:35:03. > :35:12.Look at that. 20 times 40. Robbie will hope to win the set here with
:35:12. > :35:22.the throw. Otherwise, he's under pressure in the next leg, under
:35:22. > :35:30.real pressure in the next leg. Every time Tony misses a treble,
:35:30. > :35:34.Robbie breathes a little easier. He has manoeuvred himself into a
:35:34. > :35:40.fantastic position to take the fifth set. It's a crucial set for
:35:40. > :35:48.him, coming back off the break. Couldn't afford to go 4-1 down. 3-2
:35:48. > :35:58.- he's given himself a fighting chance. -- chance. There's the
:35:58. > :36:00.
:36:00. > :36:07.maximum. A double top here for Robbie Green. He's one behind. He
:36:07. > :36:14.really needed to pull one out of the bag. How good was that dart at
:36:14. > :36:24.double top? The maximum from Tony O'Shea has put him under pressure.
:36:24. > :36:39.
:36:39. > :36:44.Right in the middle of the bed. Is the momentum heading Kong's way.
:36:44. > :36:54.Perhaps I should rephrase that, it's not a passive thing. He's
:36:54. > :37:10.
:37:10. > :37:20.wrestling the momentum back off Tony O'Shea. Treble 19 for the set.
:37:20. > :37:39.
:37:39. > :37:49.This is the treble 20s, that can't finish. 106 for Robbie Green. 14,
:37:49. > :38:09.
:38:09. > :38:17.double 16. He requires 16. A strong finish. It looks as though it had
:38:17. > :38:24.all gone wrong for the Kong, but he sorted it out with four legs. A
:38:24. > :38:31.sneaky break here for Robbie, and the game will be right back in the
:38:31. > :38:41.balance. The third little mini session going his way. Plenty of
:38:41. > :38:44.
:38:44. > :38:54.fantastic displays of character. Here is another from the big man.
:38:54. > :39:19.
:39:19. > :39:29.140, 180. That's a statement of intent. Nine darts at 46. 11 darts
:39:29. > :39:59.
:39:59. > :40:03.- yes. Robbie still with the darts in set number 6. I'm starting to
:40:03. > :40:08.think Robbie in the Masters made it four wins out of four in
:40:08. > :40:13.significant matches between the two. Also in the first round here three
:40:13. > :40:23.years ago in Robbie's first ever match on the Lakeside stage. At
:40:23. > :40:23.
:40:23. > :40:29.this stage, at the England open, he reached this stage, 18 months ago.
:40:29. > :40:33.All of a sudden - just a little bit of hush over the assembled
:40:33. > :40:43.thousands here at the Lakeside country club. You sense that they
:40:43. > :40:45.
:40:45. > :40:55.feel that this is, in fact, Robbie's way at the moment. Needs
:40:55. > :41:04.
:41:04. > :41:14.to be a big score. It is big. It's not just big. It's the biggest.
:41:14. > :41:16.
:41:16. > :41:26.Didn't need that, 7.15. 46 - against the darts. Double 16.
:41:26. > :41:27.
:41:27. > :41:35.Imposes himself after a reaction from the crowd. Yes, he has it.
:41:35. > :41:44.Steals the darts back, and now he is throwing to take a 4-2 lead. How
:41:44. > :41:53.quickly things change. We were just talking about Tony Green. 11 darts
:41:53. > :42:03.and a 15-dart leg. Later - it's all with a silver back again. Back with
:42:03. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :42:40.a silver back. Robbie at the Belgium open recently, where he
:42:40. > :42:55.
:42:55. > :43:05.beat Christian Kist in the final. 161. Tony O'Shea looking at double
:43:05. > :43:33.
:43:33. > :43:39.18. Robbie needs this. Robbie needs this. He knows it. Treble 19 -
:43:39. > :43:49.would have left double 12. A shake of the heads. More darts for Tony
:43:49. > :43:51.
:43:51. > :44:01.O'Shea. Two 18s again for Tony O'Shea. Further set. That is the
:44:01. > :44:21.
:44:21. > :44:31.marker. He's through to the last four. Robbie - what do you have?
:44:31. > :44:36.
:44:36. > :44:43.This is what he's got. Big support for Tony around the auditorium.
:44:43. > :44:53.Jill has teaching duties, but will be back for the semifinal on
:44:53. > :45:03.Saturday. One more day. Back down the motorway to Frenley Green and
:45:03. > :45:06.
:45:06. > :45:13.roaring support. Look at that. That's how nervous she gets. He
:45:13. > :45:23.says he could complete the job, not should, but could have completed 12
:45:23. > :45:36.
:45:36. > :45:46.months ago. Treble 18. That snuck in the wrong treble. Bull would
:45:46. > :46:02.
:46:03. > :46:08.have been the outshot. 14 though, now leading double 16. After that
:46:08. > :46:18.first loose start, there was one dart instead of two, which could
:46:18. > :46:19.
:46:19. > :46:27.prove fatal. Good start. 78 in that leg. Just the one dart for the
:46:27. > :46:35.double, which he missed. First blood in set seven goes Robbie
:46:35. > :46:45.Green's way Green's wayly wayward. The less said about the rest of the leg,
:46:45. > :46:57.
:46:57. > :47:01.the better. If you were watching earlier, there was there was the
:47:01. > :47:05.pro-am at Lakeside. Teaming up with Jimmy Hendriks. They weren't
:47:05. > :47:11.blaming the tools, but they even swapped darts at one stage in an
:47:11. > :47:17.attempt to arrest their fortunes. They were whitewashed. The youngest
:47:17. > :47:27.player and the youngest ref. They'll be back for another go each,
:47:27. > :47:30.
:47:30. > :47:38.next year. Martin was the pro half of the winner of the pro-am today.
:47:38. > :47:44.Their first leg with a 12-dart. I think it was with Chris Sargent, a
:47:44. > :47:51.photographer. Chris thought of little else. Yes, I'll bet. Two
:47:51. > :47:59.Ronies are in. It's goodnight from me - is it goodnight from Robbie
:47:59. > :48:09.Green. He can still finish this. Treble 19 from double 18. That's
:48:09. > :48:10.
:48:10. > :48:20.unlucky. He failed to find a treble in the last three visits to the
:48:20. > :48:31.
:48:31. > :48:39.ochie. Six darts from 78. What's happening? Robbie will be grateful
:48:39. > :48:47.that Tony did not finish. Robbie back to double top. Three darts at
:48:47. > :48:51.it for a two late lead in the set that he must win. He's just
:48:51. > :49:01.beginning to give himself a foundation, and a potential
:49:01. > :49:08.
:49:08. > :49:18.comeback. I wonder if something is bothering Tony? Really gone off the
:49:18. > :49:21.
:49:21. > :49:31.boil. Really unusual for him. Usually cannotcy personified. Lost
:49:31. > :49:44.
:49:44. > :49:48.both his finals late in the game as well. 7.5 to Christian Kist.
:49:48. > :49:51.Consistently in his Lakeside history in earlier sets than later
:49:51. > :49:57.sets - I don't know that is necessarily true, but it seems to
:49:57. > :50:03.be that way, sometimes the way he speaks about how it is very hot on
:50:04. > :50:09.the stage. He lost 2 stone, apparently, since last year. He did
:50:09. > :50:19.say he needed to lose weight after losing last year's final.
:50:19. > :50:23.
:50:23. > :50:30.Especially under the lights. The second show puts the pressure on.
:50:30. > :50:40.The bullseye would lead double 16, double 8. He's now within two legs.
:50:40. > :50:47.
:50:47. > :50:52.Yet another Lakeside semifinal. He has to break in one of them. Good
:50:52. > :51:02.switch, good cover on to the 19 - having mixed the treble 20 twice.
:51:02. > :51:18.
:51:18. > :51:23.Robbie knew he needed to hit the treble 7 - and did. So two 140s in
:51:23. > :51:28.a row for Tony O'Shea. Talk about the fact that he needed a break.
:51:28. > :51:37.Great response for Robbie under pressure, with a 140 of his own.
:51:37. > :51:47.Tony back in the groove though? Again, good last dart. This time
:51:47. > :51:57.from Tony O'Shea. Leaves himself a 1.30. -- 130. Great stuff from both
:51:57. > :52:01.
:52:01. > :52:08.players. It's a tie. 177. Treble and bull - needs them. Two sets
:52:08. > :52:18.adrift. This to move within a set. Two darts at double 8. One is a
:52:18. > :52:23.double 4. Brilliant. Under pressure, from Robbie Green. Green contingent
:52:23. > :52:28.appreciates it. Robbie looking far from Green on that stage. A whiley
:52:28. > :52:34.old campaigner, it may be his fourth legside appearance. He may
:52:34. > :52:39.be aiming for his fourth semifinal. He takes his chances with a massive
:52:39. > :52:44.double 4. How things change. We were talking about Tony holding his
:52:44. > :52:51.throw and reaching the semifinals now. Robbie holds the throw three
:52:51. > :53:00.times, and we are in for a deciding set. The way it's gone, that's
:53:00. > :53:10.probably the way they were headed. Probably needs a deciding set to
:53:10. > :53:15.
:53:15. > :53:21.the separate them. Not if Tony O'Shea has anything to do with it.
:53:21. > :53:26.Very little between the two players, in terms of the statistics. Tony
:53:26. > :53:30.margin ally ahead in terms of the average, and marginally ahead in
:53:30. > :53:40.terms of checkout stats as well. Cigarette paper between them,
:53:40. > :53:45.
:53:45. > :53:55.really. Another maximum from the big man. Two 140s in this leg from
:53:55. > :54:04.
:54:04. > :54:14.Tony O'Shea. Treble 18 and pulls out a shot, yes. Bullseye. Well
:54:14. > :54:17.
:54:17. > :54:27.done. Much more than double 10. Brilliant adjustment from Tony
:54:27. > :54:38.
:54:38. > :54:42.O'Shea. At double 10, a huge dart from Tony O'Shea. Not just for the
:54:42. > :54:47.value, but for the psychological blow. You can see Robbie Green walk
:54:47. > :54:52.away, shaking his head. He knows there's very little margin here.
:54:53. > :55:02.Here he goes again, number 8 for Tony O'Shea. Is the 17th maximum of
:55:03. > :55:07.
:55:07. > :55:17.the match. You got to love it when he beats his chest. Robbie is
:55:17. > :55:25.
:55:25. > :55:28.struggling in this leg. He knows he's getting closer. Beating his
:55:28. > :55:38.chest with greater intensity. He's on the finish. This would have
:55:38. > :55:48.taken him within a leg of victory. That's 64 will look small. Robbie
:55:48. > :55:58.needs another treble here. Real respect for that. Tremendous start.
:55:58. > :56:00.
:56:00. > :56:10.Double 8 makes it academic. He would expect to be back, but you
:56:10. > :56:18.
:56:18. > :56:27.never know. Treble 20 will lead bullseye. Huge, huge darts. Hit
:56:27. > :56:37.double 4. Taken within a leg of the semifinal. Double 4. Right in the
:56:37. > :56:43.
:56:43. > :56:53.corner, right in the box seat. man will not give up. Robbie will
:56:53. > :56:59.be thinking win this leg and see what happens. Tony can't afford to
:56:59. > :57:09.think any further than this leg. It's great, this. How much fun is
:57:09. > :57:11.
:57:11. > :57:21.this? No margin for error for Robbie Green. 134 followed by just
:57:21. > :57:27.
:57:27. > :57:37.a 35. Robbie feeling the heat on the stage. Imagine how he's feeling
:57:37. > :57:38.
:57:38. > :57:42.in there. I hope he feels better than he looks. The costume shop
:57:42. > :57:52.will never take that one back. 207 points stand between Tony O'Shea,
:57:52. > :58:01.
:58:01. > :58:11.and a place in the semifinal. There's a treble there. A little
:58:11. > :58:12.
:58:12. > :58:19.glimmer of light for Robbie Green. He really wants the 140. Dear, six
:58:19. > :58:29.darts. 147. Couldn't ask for more. Treble 17, double 18 - if he wants
:58:29. > :58:38.to do it in three, he'll be back. 70 left, Tony. Double 18 is the
:58:38. > :58:48.shot. Exactly what he got. Three darts at double 8 for the match
:58:48. > :58:58.
:58:58. > :59:08.coming up. Magnificent effort in the quarterfinals. It depends on
:59:08. > :59:09.
:59:09. > :59:14.these three darts. There's one. two men from the north-west have
:59:14. > :59:19.not let us down, with sharpshooting. It's Tony O'Shea who wins the
:59:19. > :59:29.quarterfinal tie yet again. He believes it could be his destiny.
:59:29. > :59:30.
:59:30. > :59:35.Glory at Lakeside in 2013. He moves one step closer to the ultimate
:59:35. > :59:40.prize. Thanks for your company this evening. That wraps things up for
