Day 7 Darts: World Championships - Extra

Good evening. There was a real Friday feeling tonight with two

competitions to go before Sunday's big climax. The BDO circuit is

normaly a friendly place to ply your trade. But once in a while

there is a grudge match. And that's the case with the women's

semifinals. Trina Gulliver was up against the woman who knocked her

out at this very stage 12 months ago. On that stage Anastasia

Dobromyslova sent a message from Russia without too much love. Would

she do it again? Let's find out. It's a repeat of the 2008 women's

final. Anastasia Dobromyslova against Trina Gulliver. This year

the second seed against the unseeded 9 times world chachyon.

And the one thing to report early on is that Trina has a new chum at

the table here who are trying to get everyone in the Lakeside

singing Trina Gulliver to the tune of "Give it Up". What do you make

of that? Not much. (SINGS) # Gulliver, Gulliver, Trina

Gulliver. Thank you. I think it's brilliant. I don't know if that's

the supporters she has in from the Bathe Arms or whether her

neighbours are here again. The first time she invited her next

door neighbours who said put up with lots. Trina is well travelled.

Just falling short. Anastasia, twice champion, the rieinging

One double. Good start. She has a great start. Travelled the world

with Trina, Peter Edmond. Two of them. The top seed here this year,

beaten by Lisa Ashton in the first round. Lisa has gone on to make the

I think the big question, though, whoever wins this, they will have

to beat Lisa Ashton. She is in tremendous form. The semifinal

against Sharon was probably the fastest game of darts ever played

on the Lakeside stage. Sharon only had two darts at a double and both

OK. Settling down now. One appiece. Very attractive lady. She is

looking very mean this evening. Both players desperate to win. They

do respect each other. But this is no Tony Oshea Darryl Fitten

semifinal. Nine times a winner, They met at the same stage 12

months ago, didn't they. Anastasia won that match. Awkward now. Wasn't

without its moments. Just 100 Tony Martin there, her husband.

Good finish there. Treble 20. Yes. Double 19. She has two darts.

Difficult. Very nervous is Tony, for his wife. Yeah, that's a good

start. Now a finish. Now some pressure on the double 19. And it's

not a great double. No problem. Trina is looking to take the first

set. She has got a support. As she should have all of the years she

has played. Nine times a champion. The first seven times it was played

between 2001 and 2007 she hadn't lost on the Lakeside stage before

Anastasia beat her in the 2008 final. Trina won her 8th world

title beating Edwards in the 2010 final. And again in 2011. There was

only one other player to beater. Frances, such beauty. Last year was

the first time that Trina didn't reach the final. Good start from

Anastasia. Still a chance for Trina here. Come together board now for

take on Lisa Ashton already there in the final? She really has been

the form player of the week so far, Lisa Ashton. This is a good one.

Come on. Shame that just bounced Still has a chance here, has an

lackside when of these two are on Finishes at 118. So it's put

pressure on to get into that treble, Anastasia. This is for the set.

Absolutely brilliant. Well done, Lovely dart to the bull, isn't it.

Good start from Trina, 125. Nice Trina really struggled for the

first half of her first round match. All of a sudden just as we were

saying we had never seen her struggle on the Lakeside stage she

started pulling out the big scores and hitting the doubles and it was

the Trina of old. Very nervous, can't sit still and trying to tell

Anastasia to be cool! 125. 100. 100 161 coming in. 12 dart finish.

Oh, no, she is gonna stay up there. Oh, no. Good thinking. Well, this

is for the set, if she can find two treble 20s. She can't. Which way is

she going to go with the 94? Treble 18. Perhaps a bulls eye. A treble.

are his likely avenues. This is for win the set for George, double four,

3-2! Maybe it's game on again. An excellent first set from George was

followed by three pretty inauspicious ones, but he will feel

he has done himself justice in that 5th. He now trails by only one. We

talked about what it might do if he could find some momentum, it would

lift the crowd, who in turn might be able to propel him yet further.

the same when he is winning, when he is losing, you can tell he likes

poker. Some good advice for anyone if Jan Dekker offers you a game of

poker, say no. He's supposed to be pretty decent by all accounts.

Motels, certainly! -- no tells. Is this going to be number 200 of the

week? Almost. Would have left the Can't finish from 159, and you can

from 167. This would equal the biggest cheque out of the week so

far Stephen Bunting's prize for the top Checkout stays intact for a

while longer. Another treble 20 for double 10. He will stay up for

another single, but Jan Dekker has a chance calm finish, he was going

for the treble 19 of course. He lost four legs in a row, now he has

the chance to win a 4th successive leg. Doesn't rush into it. She

cannot watch. Double 5. It's all going his way now. That's 200! Its

number seven for the week 4 Jan Dekker. But most importantly, it

markedly. Just to reiterate, the situations he found himself in in

the first round, de Graff had a match dart and he missed it, Dekker

came back to win. Against Gary Thompson in the second, Dekker

needed to win the last two sets there and he did it. He is in the

same position now, he needs to win from Jan Dekker. He is on a 13

darter. George nowhere. No pressure at all on this double 16. There's

the marker. There's the leg! And it's a leg against the darts. In

this set. Double four would do it needed for the checkout so Dekker

will be back -- the treble. That would move him to within a leg of

time for Watford doubles. As a consequence he is 2-0 up -- for

four doubles. He is a leg away from taking it to a decider. He's

for George, four scores of 60, and now a 44. This set is slipping away

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 83 seconds

George is nowhere. Jan Dekker, with all the time in the world to take

out two 18s, and the 8th set. And George LED 4-3, only had to win one

of the last two sets, didn't come close to winning a leg insect No. 8.

We're down to a decider. Thrash in sex -- in set. Look at this! Where

did that come from? Couldn't buy a treble in that last set, starts the

decider in the grand manner. And he's straight back in. And again...

Six out of sex... Not far away. -- six out of six. Wouldn't be a bad

darts. One leg away. -- dart. Oh, Marie! We feel for you but we're

out on stalks. But Dekker, in a leg that he knows he has to win to stay

alive, has started 135, 120 with a bounce out. He is a man, almost

like no other in this tournament, who never knows when he's beaten.

He loves a scrap. He loves a scrap! Thigh that's borderline genius.

After a 135 and 120, Dekker Cartes a 120. -- Kaats. Six darts from 66

for a 12 dart leg. Here's some pressure. If Jan Dekker misses this

double 10... He doesn't. It's a big if. I wonder if the thought crossed

George's mind. What a start. What a start to the leg. There will have

been plenty of moments when he was coming here as a young lad when he

would have dreamt of being up on the stage knowing that he had the

darts in his hand, throwing a leg to get through to a match in the

latter stages of the tournament. That's the situation he finds

himself in now. Holt's Here and he's in the semi-final. -- holds

here. But Dekker will not be moved. Back in the treble 20. Twice. 140,

is not. Now then, treble 15 would have left double 8. He's hit treble

10. He will have a dart for a place in the semi-finals. Dekker can do

nothing about it. George eyes up 88. The last two times he has thrown at

double 8 he has hit it. Yes! George is in the semi-final! The fairy-

tale continues. The rank outsider of the eight players left in the

quarter-finals makes it through to the semi. But he hasn't just one,

he's come from 3-1 down. A sensational comeback. -- just won.

You can pay no higher tribute to than saying the old man would be

proud of him. The roof has come off the Lakeside, the place is bouncing.

George makes it through to the semi-finals in his first ever

semi-finals in his first ever Lakeside. That wraps things up for
