:00:40. > :00:46.Good evening. There was a real Friday feeling tonight with two
:00:46. > :00:53.competitions to go before Sunday's big climax. The BDO circuit is
:00:53. > :00:57.normaly a friendly place to ply your trade. But once in a while
:00:57. > :01:03.there is a grudge match. And that's the case with the women's
:01:03. > :01:09.semifinals. Trina Gulliver was up against the woman who knocked her
:01:09. > :01:14.out at this very stage 12 months ago. On that stage Anastasia
:01:14. > :01:21.Dobromyslova sent a message from Russia without too much love. Would
:01:21. > :01:26.she do it again? Let's find out. It's a repeat of the 2008 women's
:01:26. > :01:33.final. Anastasia Dobromyslova against Trina Gulliver. This year
:01:33. > :01:40.the second seed against the unseeded 9 times world chachyon.
:01:40. > :01:48.And the one thing to report early on is that Trina has a new chum at
:01:48. > :01:55.the table here who are trying to get everyone in the Lakeside
:01:55. > :02:03.singing Trina Gulliver to the tune of "Give it Up". What do you make
:02:03. > :02:13.of that? Not much. (SINGS) # Gulliver, Gulliver, Trina
:02:13. > :02:20.Gulliver. Thank you. I think it's brilliant. I don't know if that's
:02:20. > :02:26.the supporters she has in from the Bathe Arms or whether her
:02:26. > :02:36.neighbours are here again. The first time she invited her next
:02:36. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:46.door neighbours who said put up with lots. Trina is well travelled.
:02:46. > :02:48.
:02:48. > :02:58.Just falling short. Anastasia, twice champion, the rieinging
:02:58. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:28.Good thinking. Trina on a finish. That will be some way to start the
:03:28. > :03:57.
:03:58. > :04:07.It's the bull. Oh! Hits the wire. Unlucky. Have to hold her throw.
:04:08. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:26.Treble 17 and double 12 - to do it Oh, yes. One dart for the double.
:04:26. > :04:48.
:04:48. > :04:58.One double. Good start. She has a great start. Travelled the world
:04:58. > :05:03.with Trina, Peter Edmond. Two of them. The top seed here this year,
:05:03. > :05:13.beaten by Lisa Ashton in the first round. Lisa has gone on to make the
:05:13. > :05:39.
:05:39. > :05:44.I think the big question, though, whoever wins this, they will have
:05:44. > :05:51.to beat Lisa Ashton. She is in tremendous form. The semifinal
:05:51. > :06:00.against Sharon was probably the fastest game of darts ever played
:06:00. > :06:10.on the Lakeside stage. Sharon only had two darts at a double and both
:06:10. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :07:34.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds
:07:34. > :07:44.OK. Settling down now. One appiece. Very attractive lady. She is
:07:44. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :07:54.looking very mean this evening. Both players desperate to win. They
:07:54. > :08:04.do respect each other. But this is no Tony Oshea Darryl Fitten
:08:04. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:22.semifinal. Nine times a winner, They met at the same stage 12
:08:22. > :08:32.months ago, didn't they. Anastasia won that match. Awkward now. Wasn't
:08:32. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:55.without its moments. Just 100 Tony Martin there, her husband.
:08:55. > :09:16.
:09:16. > :09:26.Good finish there. Treble 20. Yes. Double 19. She has two darts.
:09:26. > :09:28.
:09:28. > :09:38.Difficult. Very nervous is Tony, for his wife. Yeah, that's a good
:09:38. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:51.start. Now a finish. Now some pressure on the double 19. And it's
:09:51. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:22.not a great double. No problem. Trina is looking to take the first
:10:22. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:35.set. She has got a support. As she should have all of the years she
:10:35. > :10:41.has played. Nine times a champion. The first seven times it was played
:10:41. > :10:48.between 2001 and 2007 she hadn't lost on the Lakeside stage before
:10:48. > :10:57.Anastasia beat her in the 2008 final. Trina won her 8th world
:10:57. > :11:07.title beating Edwards in the 2010 final. And again in 2011. There was
:11:07. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:20.only one other player to beater. Frances, such beauty. Last year was
:11:20. > :11:23.
:11:23. > :11:33.the first time that Trina didn't reach the final. Good start from
:11:33. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:46.Anastasia. Still a chance for Trina here. Come together board now for

:12:36. > :12:42.Every leg with the dart so far. If that continues. Yes, you're right -
:12:42. > :12:52.if it continues Trina will take the first set. That's a good recovery

:14:57. > :15:21.

:19:31. > :19:37.Good start from Trina, 125. Nice Trina really struggled for the

:19:43. > :19:47.saying we had never seen her struggle on the Lakeside stage she
:19:47. > :19:57.started pulling out the big scores and hitting the doubles and it was

:21:04. > :21:13.into the treble 20? Suddenly when he misses it he's not missing by
:21:13. > :21:17.much. Are we on the cusp of a momentum shift? If he can build up
:21:17. > :21:23.a bit of a tail wind, you would think that he would be able to get
:21:23. > :21:27.the crowd behind him. That would push him forward even further. He

:22:36. > :22:43.he misses with the second as well. Is this an opening for George?
:22:43. > :22:53.Another 13 darter, back to back 13 darters from George, just what he
:22:53. > :23:00.
:23:00. > :23:06.needed. He has the advantage in set number five. He came from nowhere,
:23:06. > :23:16.George, with that 13 darter. We haven't seen a wild dart for a
:23:16. > :23:22.
:23:22. > :23:28.while now. He has still got his range, he is still in the zone. But
:23:28. > :23:35.Ritchie now putting him under pressure. Didn't appear to be any

:23:45. > :24:16.
:24:16. > :24:23.George. After two 13 darters, Dekker has the chance for a 12
:24:23. > :24:33.darter, needs another treble 19. Is that treble 16 or treble 20? Those
:24:33. > :25:09.
:25:09. > :25:19.are his likely avenues. This is for win the set for George, double four,
:25:19. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:30.3-2! Maybe it's game on again. An excellent first set from George was
:25:30. > :25:36.followed by three pretty inauspicious ones, but he will feel
:25:36. > :25:43.he has done himself justice in that 5th. He now trails by only one. We
:25:43. > :25:47.talked about what it might do if he could find some momentum, it would

:26:05. > :26:15.the same when he is winning, when he is losing, you can tell he likes
:26:15. > :26:23.poker. Some good advice for anyone if Jan Dekker offers you a game of
:26:23. > :26:33.poker, say no. He's supposed to be pretty decent by all accounts.
:26:33. > :26:33.
:26:33. > :26:43.Motels, certainly! -- no tells. Is this going to be number 200 of the
:26:43. > :27:15.
:27:15. > :27:25.week? Almost. Would have left the Can't finish from 159, and you can
:27:25. > :27:34.
:27:34. > :27:40.from 167. This would equal the biggest cheque out of the week so

:27:51. > :28:00.while longer. Another treble 20 for double 10. He will stay up for

:28:11. > :28:16.
:28:16. > :28:26.for the treble 19 of course. He lost four legs in a row, now he has
:28:26. > :28:27.
:28:27. > :28:37.the chance to win a 4th successive leg. Doesn't rush into it. She

:37:27. > :37:34.up. What is he like? This is not just a first round match. This is a
:37:34. > :37:39.placed in the last four. For years and years, he wanted to get out
:37:39. > :37:49.there and do it. He has gone out there. He is actually doing it
:37:49. > :38:04.
:38:04. > :38:14.properly at the moment. We have got Jan Dekker on a finish of 129.

:46:58. > :47:03.came back to win. Against Gary Thompson in the second, Dekker

:50:28. > :50:33.time for Watford doubles. As a consequence he is 2-0 up -- for

:55:51. > :55:54.
:55:54. > :56:04.or nothing. And Jan Dekker has been consistent, and occasionally
:56:04. > :56:19.
:56:19. > :56:29.brilliant. Five maximums each in particular head to head. And he's
:56:29. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :56:40.miles ahead in this leg. This for an 11 dart finish, double 16. Four

:59:01. > :59:06.alive, has started 135, 120 with a bounce out. He is a man, almost

:00:11. > :00:15.George's mind. What a start. What a start to the leg. There will have
