:00:43. > :00:48.review of the 2014 BDO World Championships. It will start with a
:00:49. > :00:51.former winner. Martin will free Adams has lifted this title three
:00:52. > :00:56.times and get out himself locked in a preliminary round match with a
:00:57. > :01:00.David Cameron. Not that one. The Canadian debutant hoping to mark the
:01:01. > :01:07.occasion with a huge performance. We'll put this up at the beginning.
:01:08. > :01:14.Ladies and gentlemen, we are at the home of world darts here at the 2014
:01:15. > :01:20.BDO World Championships at Lakeside! We now introduce a preliminary round
:01:21. > :01:24.match and welcome first of all our Canadian regional qualifier, a
:01:25. > :01:43.former Canadian open champion. Welcome David Cameron!
:01:44. > :02:27.We now introduce the reigning Belgian goods and Antwerp champion.
:02:28. > :02:31.Twice a world club singles champion and three times a world Master and
:02:32. > :02:35.three times the Lakeside world champion. -- World Cup singles
:02:36. > :03:46.champion. It is Martin Adams! Promotion to the BDO frontbench for
:03:47. > :03:52.David Cameron. It has come after hard labour. Three victories and a
:03:53. > :03:55.chance to escape the inclement weather conditions of Nova Scotia.
:03:56. > :04:02.The first time at the stage for David Cameron. The three-time
:04:03. > :04:08.champion is here for a record-breaking 21st consecutive
:04:09. > :04:12.year. He is arcing under 67 match of the World Championships, three
:04:13. > :04:16.quarters of which he has won. He even has a special shirt embroidered
:04:17. > :04:20.for the occasion. He did suffer defeat in the first round last year.
:04:21. > :04:30.12 months on, Wolfie is a different beast. He is back to his own. The
:04:31. > :04:34.surprise of these two is the 1st-round meeting.
:04:35. > :04:45.What will you doing in the first week of the new year in 90 nay four?
:04:46. > :04:55.Martin Adams was making his Lakeside did -- debut. He threw starts in the
:04:56. > :05:05.state of the first time. That is what David Cameron from Canada is
:05:06. > :05:13.doing this afternoon. David Cameron admitted that he will get nervous in
:05:14. > :05:18.the opening exchanges. Bikies says he just has to focus and put his
:05:19. > :05:40.head down. Get head down in Downing Street. -- but he says.
:05:41. > :05:46.His first nine round exit in nine years.
:05:47. > :05:53.It would have been an early settler therefore David Cameron.
:05:54. > :06:08.-- in early settler there for David Cameron. He has let David Cameron
:06:09. > :06:15.back into the leg which is exactly what he didn't want to do. No
:06:16. > :06:25.outshot for these guys after 12 shots. Della Mackie has lost a lot
:06:26. > :06:33.of weight this year. -- he has lost a lot of weight this year. He says
:06:34. > :06:36.he's feeling good finally. As from about August onwards, he has been
:06:37. > :06:43.rediscovering the form which made him world champion three times. A
:06:44. > :06:56.for the first leg for Martin Adams. A treble 18 leaves bullseye. -- 124.
:06:57. > :07:04.A chance for a first leg against the darts for the Canadian. 18 leaves
:07:05. > :07:14.bullseye. That's done it. 68 to hold the throw. Double 44 Martin Adams.
:07:15. > :07:18.For the first leg of the match. -- double four for.
:07:19. > :07:39.They howl the approval. Here at Lakeside. 96.
:07:40. > :07:47.He has a very impressive 1st-round record here at Lakeside, does
:07:48. > :07:53.Wolfie. Played 20 and 115 including winning each of the last eight right
:07:54. > :07:58.to his defeat to Hendrix last year. A number of Lakeside records are not
:07:59. > :08:02.just longevity. Once hit 16 and one 80s in a match here and still lost
:08:03. > :08:10.it. A quarterfinal against Chris Mason back in the 90s. -- 180s.
:08:11. > :08:15.Still waiting for his first maximum in this match so far.
:08:16. > :08:29.Good darts from David Cameron, down-to-earth initial ready. Adams
:08:30. > :09:01.is back on 341. He will be back. 42. 81. Dave,
:09:02. > :09:08.Uruguay 92. Strain at the start. It leaves him with Shanghai 20s if he
:09:09. > :09:18.comes back. -- you require 92. Martin, you require 120. A single, a
:09:19. > :09:22.treble and a double. Bogey. -- oh dear.
:09:23. > :09:41.David Cameron will return to the first to set. Double eight now. The
:09:42. > :09:51.nerves taking their toll. Now Wolfie can really strike a psychological
:09:52. > :09:57.blow in this match by hitting two eight. They can not believe the
:09:58. > :10:09.message. Cameron with another chance. He keeps missing them. He is
:10:10. > :10:20.in the madhouse. No problems for Wolfie. He hit the 88. 2-0 in this
:10:21. > :10:34.first set. It goes without saying that it is
:10:35. > :10:39.always good to settle the nerves and get that first leg on the board.
:10:40. > :10:43.David Cameron has thrown in at six different double so far and not hit
:10:44. > :10:53.any. What you think is favourite is? Number ten? Please let us apologise
:10:54. > :10:58.for the loss of pictures you suffer from at home. Everything Julie
:10:59. > :11:28.Martin Adams way of the moment. The 20th anniversary since John Hart
:11:29. > :11:36.became the first and only Canadian to win this World Championship. He
:11:37. > :12:05.is something of an inspiration. You require 70. 70 for Martin to
:12:06. > :12:16.take the first set. He will be double 16. No problem at all. Adams
:12:17. > :12:26.nailed it. The first set going with the darts.
:12:27. > :12:33.All he has done, David Cameron, is losers of darts he would have
:12:34. > :12:45.expected to lose, because Adams through first. But, he has missed
:12:46. > :12:52.seven darts and a double. He is yet to register a leg. Those butterflies
:12:53. > :13:06.in the stomach will be beating their wings faster and faster. Scoring
:13:07. > :13:10.through the first nine darts of the leg was superior. We have the first
:13:11. > :13:33.of the match for Wolfie. Here he goes again. Against the
:13:34. > :13:37.darts, but already, a 19 advantage, plus fees. Down-to-earth finish with
:13:38. > :13:50.Cameron stuck on 299. Looking at treble 20. A fraction
:13:51. > :14:20.away. A big day for Little Richard. The
:14:21. > :14:26.big day for Wolfie as well, hoping to make it through the round. This
:14:27. > :14:38.is against the darts. He found his range nicely. Solitary difference
:14:39. > :14:44.between the two man has been finishing. David Cameron has had
:14:45. > :15:02.seven darts and a double, and has not hit any. That is an excellent
:15:03. > :15:07.percentage, for Martin Adams. David Cameron will just start hoping to
:15:08. > :15:15.win a leg and go from there. He has lost four in a row. If anyone is at
:15:16. > :15:30.home on that stage, it is Martin Adams. He made his debut, a winning
:15:31. > :15:44.debut, in 1994, when he reached the quarter-finals. Here he is, 21 years
:15:45. > :15:57.later. Proving he has sold at it. -- still got it. Dave feeling the
:15:58. > :16:19.pressure, you sense. All over the place of the moment.
:16:20. > :16:33.He looks at the bull's-eye here first. Treble 20 would leave it. He
:16:34. > :16:57.will be back. Two AIDS for a fifth leg in a row.
:16:58. > :17:08.Two falls. Still, Cameron back on 230. That has been a problem for
:17:09. > :17:25.him. He is best effort on the board has brought in 81. It finishes with
:17:26. > :17:53.a solid 44. -- double four. A good start.
:17:54. > :18:13.To reach leg side, -- Lakeside, David Cameron won the Quebec open
:18:14. > :18:19.and the Newfoundland open. He was in the last 16 in Vancouver. He has
:18:20. > :18:26.been around North America picking up points to earn his place on the
:18:27. > :18:36.stage. He has also played several tournaments in Las Vegas. His eyes
:18:37. > :18:47.did light up what he was talking about that trip.
:18:48. > :19:04.This is for a set against the darts and a 2-0 lead. Double 14. No
:19:05. > :19:13.problem at all. A marked difference to how he was 12 months ago. He
:19:14. > :19:27.takes a 2-0 lead. Total dominance from the three-time champion. Six
:19:28. > :19:33.legs out of six. Two sets and two. There is not only his finishing, but
:19:34. > :19:34.look at his average, the best part of 15 points better than David
:19:35. > :19:50.Cameron. Very impressive finishing statistics
:19:51. > :19:54.to back that up. Those seven darts that Cameron missed all came in the
:19:55. > :20:02.first two legs. Since then he has not had a sniff. You get the feeling
:20:03. > :20:25.that the Lakeside crowd is feeling sorry for this Canadian debutante.
:20:26. > :20:29.He has not hit the treble often up, David Cameron. Some trouble with the
:20:30. > :20:43.rats. No such problems for Wolfie.
:20:44. > :20:55.Consistent scoring from the three-time world champion. He will
:20:56. > :21:08.be the first to the finish again. He has taken out 121. He will not do
:21:09. > :21:26.150, not on this visit. Only 43. How about a ton and 40? Treble 17,
:21:27. > :21:34.double 18, for a seventh leg in a row. Yes indeed. Cameron may be
:21:35. > :22:08.struggling, but Martin Adams is starting to flow.
:22:09. > :22:18.If you take John Part out of the equation, Lakeside has not been a
:22:19. > :22:26.good place for Canadians. None have made it past the quarter-final stage
:22:27. > :22:30.exit for John Part. David Cameron has beaten Martin Adams previously
:22:31. > :22:35.in a World Cup match. Will he get his first 180? Not to be the him at
:22:36. > :22:50.the moment. -- for him. Still, he will be first to finish in
:22:51. > :23:17.this leg, David Cameron, a much-needed darter and a double. A
:23:18. > :23:39.good cover. Can he do it? Not this time. Treble 20. Treble 19, went for
:23:40. > :23:44.the treble 19, hit the treble seven. This is David Cameron's first darts
:23:45. > :23:49.at a double since the second leg of the first set. Their riches, his
:23:50. > :24:14.favourite number, number ten. A long time since David Cameron has
:24:15. > :24:20.had a round of applause like that. Taking it in magnificent spirit.
:24:21. > :24:31.Clearly it was a crucial leg to him. He has the guts in the set. He has
:24:32. > :24:59.to break the throw somewhere along the line.
:25:00. > :25:09.Cameron fails to take advantage of a missed opportunity and a treble from
:25:10. > :25:37.Martin Adams. What is he do? The weighs in with 140.
:25:38. > :25:55.His first maximum. It just puts a bit of pressure on. And now, that
:25:56. > :26:07.little light at the end of the tunnel. He surely has to take this
:26:08. > :26:19.out. One darter double top. To hold this throw and move a leg away. He
:26:20. > :26:26.just takes a moment to compose himself. He knows it is important.
:26:27. > :26:48.He misses. He only needs the one. Two legs in a
:26:49. > :26:58.row, having lost the first seven. If he holds here, he has a set. If he
:26:59. > :27:26.holds here, game on. Last time Martin Adams played an
:27:27. > :27:32.American, a North American, he lost in round one. Roger Carter beat him.
:27:33. > :27:58.That was 1997. He has not done much with it. There
:27:59. > :28:41.are only two David Cameron is. This for the set. A good start.
:28:42. > :28:51.Bull's-eye. The second time he has misted and again. Can Martin take up
:28:52. > :29:02.121 to save a set? A shake of the head because he knows he has left
:29:03. > :29:10.the door open. A couple of errands darts. None of them were close. Four
:29:11. > :29:27.Mr darts for the set of David Cameron. 88 -- double eight fall
:29:28. > :29:41.Adams to level the set. The first time of asking. Double 16 now. The
:29:42. > :30:05.kind of opportunity he cannot give away. Double four? No. His eighth
:30:06. > :30:14.darter for the set. He finally finds it.
:30:15. > :30:30.Here we go. The match is now going with the darts again. Camera knows
:30:31. > :30:43.he is that to win against the darts sometimes. -- camera and.
:30:44. > :31:04.He hit the 88 and has now won three legs in a row.
:31:05. > :31:18.It is rarely easy if you are a Martin Adams van. You can see the
:31:19. > :31:24.checkout statistic has dropped markedly as far as Martin is
:31:25. > :31:36.concerned. He was up at better than 50% earlier. He has lost the last
:31:37. > :31:52.three legs. He has missed darts to win in two of those. He is on a
:31:53. > :32:17.finish, David Cameron. He is back in the trebles. Treble 20, treble 17
:32:18. > :32:34.and bull. Not even close. A good last start. He needs to hold his
:32:35. > :32:47.throw. 66 to win a leg against the darts. Nine would leave double 16.
:32:48. > :33:05.He stops it. One look at it, that was all he needed.
:33:06. > :33:13.Perhaps significant that time, he did not have time to think about it.
:33:14. > :33:23.He did not change the rhythm of the plywood all. -- of the flow at all.
:33:24. > :33:35.All of a sudden, he is not being given an easy ride.
:33:36. > :33:48.Wayward darts from David Cameron. If he has run deep into the tournament,
:33:49. > :34:04.he could end up playing his 400 set of darts on the Lakeside says. He
:34:05. > :34:42.has won 221 up to this point. Forget iron man, he is the tungsten man.
:34:43. > :35:02.To break back. Treble 18 would leave him the bull's-eye. This is to move
:35:03. > :35:24.a leg away. Double 12 Martin Adams. A great marker. Short. He only
:35:25. > :35:31.needed one of them. He breaks back straightaway. You feel he had to do
:35:32. > :35:49.it. Make no mistake, we have a game on here. David Cameron has the throw
:35:50. > :35:55.in this leg. Significantly, in the six legs he has had the darts, he
:35:56. > :36:04.has only held twice. He has broken as much as he has held his own
:36:05. > :36:18.throw. He started 44 and 58, so Wolfie already we are lead. A very
:36:19. > :36:34.healthy advantage after six darts apiece. If he does go on to win, it
:36:35. > :36:43.would make some trivia question, what links Jimi Hendrix to David
:36:44. > :36:58.Cameron. It was Hendrix who beat Adams in round one last year at
:36:59. > :37:02.Lakeside. Plenty of Yorkshire folk down here. Garry Thompson from
:37:03. > :37:29.nearby Silsden in action later. He has done 121. Now, treble 19th
:37:30. > :37:40.double 12. How about this? He would open trouble term.
:37:41. > :37:51.He missed with the first darts. He will be frustrated that. He leaves
:37:52. > :38:05.himself back at 119. One leg away now. He gives double 16 again.
:38:06. > :38:27.The Wolfie whistles have started again. Straight in with a double 20.
:38:28. > :38:33.Adams just needs to hold his throw. It sounds simple, doesn't it? Not
:38:34. > :38:43.when your opponent is the ring maximums like that. -- throwing.
:38:44. > :39:20.He needed and other treble to leave himself a finish. A great three
:39:21. > :39:32.darts from Cameron. He will be back to have a look at 96 to save the
:39:33. > :39:48.match. Look at this, though. A monumental visit to David Cameron.
:39:49. > :39:58.Double 18. Are those whose last two darts at Lakeside? 58, then add 's
:39:59. > :40:15.to reach round two. Barry says. He is back. -- that it is. Martin Adams
:40:16. > :40:18.is through to round one. The reason other former times are
:40:19. > :40:33.trying to recapture the glory days of the past. She was trying to make
:40:34. > :40:41.short work of the Dutch hopeful. The first Lady. It is for Schuur. The
:40:42. > :40:50.blonde. -- first leg. Trina Gulliver still
:40:51. > :40:56.wants to attempt a world title. She turns up and it is all she thinks
:40:57. > :41:03.about. Title number ten. She has been beaten in the semifinals in
:41:04. > :41:07.2012 and 2013. She is very much coming to leg side this year
:41:08. > :41:18.thinking about the title. In contrast, Tamara Schuur. 34 years of
:41:19. > :41:24.age, from the Netherlands, and is just thinking about winning the
:41:25. > :41:28.match. In fact, she is thinking about winning this leg and not much
:41:29. > :41:30.else at this stage. Her debut on the Lakeside stage and she is
:41:31. > :41:55.intimidating. It is an unenviable task, facing
:41:56. > :41:59.Tamara Schuur today. First match on the Lakeside stage against the nine
:42:00. > :42:03.time when. Seven successive years at the start of the last decade that
:42:04. > :42:10.Trina Gulliver was the world champion. The four times she has
:42:11. > :42:18.been beaten, she has lost to the eventual champion everytime.
:42:19. > :42:25.Struggling to find it trebles at the moment, Tamara Schuur. Trina
:42:26. > :42:32.Gulliver was the second seed this year.
:42:33. > :42:39.The only player to have registered a 19 plus match average in the women's
:42:40. > :42:51.World Championships. Done so on three occasions.
:42:52. > :43:02.There is sued, Trina Gulliver's wife. We must at this stage say for
:43:03. > :43:23.Sue's Mum to get well soon. She hasn't been well over Christmas.
:43:24. > :43:40.Missed the double ten which would have given her the first leg. She
:43:41. > :43:47.will be back. That was two tends for the first leg of the match.
:43:48. > :43:57.No matter how much experience you have on this stage, getting the
:43:58. > :44:19.first leg would be settling. Not the first time that these two
:44:20. > :44:31.ladies have played against each other. Trina has married these are
:44:32. > :44:36.before. Maybe back in 2012. Tamara will be delighted now. Just to
:44:37. > :44:45.settle early nerves. Looked like a nervous start but
:44:46. > :44:56.nothing about this leg looks nervy. It is a shame about that last dart.
:44:57. > :45:23.She is not on her finish. Just unlucky without bounce about.
:45:24. > :45:55.-- with that bounce there. Only cost her three in the end.
:45:56. > :45:58.Looking at 14 s there. To darts out for Tamara and she will have the
:45:59. > :46:10.opportunity to take it out and hold the throw. -- two darts.
:46:11. > :46:38.In the context of this match, you feel that this is important. How
:46:39. > :46:46.about that? Both of the legs going with the darts so far and pretty
:46:47. > :46:52.constantly as well. It may be her first appearance at the Lakeside but
:46:53. > :46:55.Tamara Schuur is ranked 14th in the world. A former semifinalist at the
:46:56. > :47:01.World Masters. She has won the French Open this year, along with
:47:02. > :47:08.one of the Lakeside debutant in the final. Rachel Brooks. For the first
:47:09. > :47:15.time, you have to win for matches to be crowned women's world champion.
:47:16. > :47:22.In this first round, it is the best of three sets. The first two sets
:47:23. > :47:30.and then the first to five legs in a set.
:47:31. > :47:40.See the same faces every year. He then you been drinking for an hour,
:47:41. > :48:14.looks a bit green already. -- he has only been drinking for an hour.
:48:15. > :48:34.41. And in deck here for the week no doubt as well. Tamara is putting a
:48:35. > :48:49.little bit of pressure into the throw. She could have done with that
:48:50. > :48:54.trouble to exaggerate the pressure. Still life out, 126. Options on the
:48:55. > :49:07.19th. -- nice out. Way back on 169 which is not a
:49:08. > :49:11.finish. Still going for the treble 19. Would have left the bullseye
:49:12. > :49:21.that she will be back. No possible outshot for Trina
:49:22. > :49:33.Gulliver but she needs to put pressure on that ex- de eight for
:49:34. > :49:48.Tamara Schuur. -- a on that 68. -- pressure on that 68. Three big darts
:49:49. > :49:53.here. A double 16. It is a leg against the throw for Tamara Schuur
:49:54. > :49:56.as she holds he. She is one set to the good. Two darts to the double,
:49:57. > :50:18.two doubles. Nerves? What nerves. Having said that, a break is only a
:50:19. > :50:33.break if you hold your own throw, of course.
:50:34. > :50:40.How about that? A very wayward looking 26 and a very focused
:50:41. > :50:42.looking 140 to follow. Keeping the pressure on. What does Gulliver
:50:43. > :51:04.have? ? You can't have enough bobby at
:51:05. > :51:18.Lakeside, can you? There is only one bobby George. I cannot tell you how
:51:19. > :51:21.hot that Lee will be in their. She will be cooked by ten o'clock. --
:51:22. > :51:50.about Lady will be in there. She will be disappointed with that
:51:51. > :52:00.45. It gives Tamara Schuur what it takes to get to finish. She'll it!
:52:01. > :52:05.-- take it! Tamara Schuur's average has been superior to Trina Gulliver.
:52:06. > :52:11.It is the heavy scoring which is doing the damage. She has an
:52:12. > :52:19.opportunity now. 112 check-out for the first set. A treble 20 would
:52:20. > :52:31.leave a double 16. Double 16 for the set. Will she be punished? Trina
:52:32. > :52:50.Gulliver needs this. She needs 116. No finish from there.
:52:51. > :53:18.Three successive sets. A set to the good. She now has the darts. She
:53:19. > :53:19.just has to hold the throw. She has beaten a nine time world champion in
:53:20. > :53:36.straight sets. A very wayward dart followed by two
:53:37. > :53:58.excellent darts. Excellent response! Trina Gulliver first 140 of the
:53:59. > :54:17.afternoon. Trina Gulliver has effectively taken
:54:18. > :54:31.the darts back already. She is playing a little more quickly now.
:54:32. > :54:53.Trina Gulliver is the first as an attempted check-out and so far the
:54:54. > :54:59.first to an attempt to finish has made the lake. -- the first to
:55:00. > :55:12.attempt a finish has made the leg. Treble 15 also would have laid the
:55:13. > :55:17.top. Just a glimmer for Tamara. Hit the first one. Treble 18. The
:55:18. > :55:27.bullseye 4164. -- for 164. Steel puts pressure on the 83,
:55:28. > :55:57.doesn't it? -- still. 17, double 16. For a fourth leg in a
:55:58. > :56:01.row. Tamara Schuur Mrs double eight. -- she misses it.
:56:02. > :56:18.The nine is just in. One more shot at it.
:56:19. > :56:31.She still wins the leg. Well, well, well. This has the makings of a big,
:56:32. > :56:51.big shock. 13. That is not the usual standard
:56:52. > :56:54.you expect from Trina Gulliver. Tamara Schuur missed three darts and
:56:55. > :57:03.a double in that leg but she has been better than Trina Gulliver so
:57:04. > :57:08.far. It cost her in that second set. She has to break the certain throw
:57:09. > :57:19.at some stage. She has to stay in this match.
:57:20. > :57:24.Trina Gulliver was the inaugural women's champion. She has been
:57:25. > :57:29.coming every year since. She has won the title nine times. She says that
:57:30. > :57:37.she still thinks that this is the big one when she walks through the
:57:38. > :57:40.doors at this venue in Surrey. But there is something rather jaded
:57:41. > :57:55.about her performance this Saturday afternoon.
:57:56. > :58:11.That dark there is very an freedom -- that dart there it is a very free
:58:12. > :58:41.gully. 16. Down to we finish. -- a finish.
:58:42. > :59:05.55. For another leg against the darts
:59:06. > :59:12.and having close to 164 in the last leg, Katrina -- Trina Gulliver knows
:59:13. > :59:22.she is under pressure. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. A 147 Check
:59:23. > :59:27.out and she is won away from the darts eliminating a well timed --
:59:28. > :59:32.and nine time world champion. We have been focusing on Trina Gulliver
:59:33. > :59:41.perhaps we should focus on Tamara Schuur and her sensational darts. A
:59:42. > :59:48.checkout at 147. Nerveless on the Lakeside stage on her debut. Every
:59:49. > :59:49.time she throws a slightly wayward dart, she comes back with two or
:59:50. > :59:55.three excellent darts. One leg away from beating the nine
:59:56. > :00:07.time champion in the first round. She has never lost before the
:00:08. > :00:43.semifinals, Trina Gulliver. She is potentially six darts away
:00:44. > :00:52.from going home before the tournament has even got going.
:00:53. > :01:05.If anybody can deal with the pressure, you would imagine that
:01:06. > :01:14.Trina Gulliver will be able to. Looking very pensive.
:01:15. > :01:32.Needs at least 140, you feel here. Only 81. Once again, it is six darts
:01:33. > :01:44.for the win. For Tamara Schuur. The last dart is the hardest.
:01:45. > :01:54.His brother was in the tournament last year. He will be in later in
:01:55. > :02:02.the week. This is it for Tamara Schuur. Can't do it now. She knows
:02:03. > :02:08.that your have another crack. -- that she will have another crack.
:02:09. > :02:09.She only needs a 70. What pressure can Trina Gulliver apply? Not enough
:02:10. > :02:22.pressure. How about this, then? To knock out
:02:23. > :02:34.the nine time champion in the first round. She needs to and she gets it!
:02:35. > :02:37.An enormous upset at the first afternoon at Lakeside. Trina
:02:38. > :02:41.Gulliver has been beating in round one and beat in by a debutante from
:02:42. > :02:49.the Netherlands, Tamara Schuur, ladies and gentlemen. Trina Gulliver
:02:50. > :02:52.is out! Yorkshire's Rachel Brooks was also a
:02:53. > :02:58.debutante hoping to take inspiration as she took on Denmark's experienced
:02:59. > :03:02.Ann Louise Peters. Once again, your commentators are Jim Proudfoot and
:03:03. > :03:09.Alexander. Two Lakeside debutant in first round
:03:10. > :03:15.action. Here on the biggest stage in world darts. Ann Louise Peters from
:03:16. > :03:19.Denmark against the fifth seed Rachel Brooks who has been there or
:03:20. > :03:20.thereabouts in every tournament in every tournament she has entered in
:03:21. > :03:45.the past 12 months. A 50 -year-old from Yorkshire up
:03:46. > :03:48.against a 38 -year-old from Denmark. It is a first Lakeside appearance
:03:49. > :03:53.for Ann Louise Peters but she returned to the BDO last year,
:03:54. > :03:56.ranked 100 and is second in the rankings but that is primarily
:03:57. > :04:00.because she hasn't played in that many tournament since her return.
:04:01. > :04:09.She qualified through the play-offs. Ann Louise Peters is a
:04:10. > :04:12.former Danish women's International. She won the recent Danish
:04:13. > :04:25.championship as well. The fourth time she won the event.
:04:26. > :04:34.Up against Rachel Brooks from Doncaster.
:04:35. > :04:46.Rachel Brooks recently lost in the finals at the World Masters in the
:04:47. > :04:50.British Open. 105! She was runner-up in the Northern Ireland and French
:04:51. > :04:51.opens. She won in Turkey and in Finland which is why she is the
:04:52. > :05:10.fifth seed. She needs to score here. 26. She has yet to hit a treble.
:05:11. > :05:29.That is why it is Ann Louise Peters who is first on the finish. 60!
:05:30. > :05:42.There is that first treble. Finally, I treble. And another on
:05:43. > :05:54.the wrong side of the line. -- a treble. 94 then for Ann Louise
:05:55. > :06:05.Peters. 54. Eight double top when she comes back and she will be back.
:06:06. > :06:10.Brooks needs 840 and she has to put some pressure on the double top.
:06:11. > :06:24.There is one of them. Six darts if she needs them. A
:06:25. > :06:46.double tender for the first leg of the match. Snatched at it.
:06:47. > :06:51.Starting to find the treble, Rachel Brooks. That Tony Peters on the left
:06:52. > :07:05.with a moustache. And there is also Rachel's partner.
:07:06. > :07:19.It's always worth watching then playing. -- worse. She will start
:07:20. > :07:22.with a treble 19. No she won't. She has hit a single five. She can't now
:07:23. > :07:43.finish. 35. Six missed darts in the double
:07:44. > :07:48.so far for Ann Louise Peters. Three more in hand and she only needs the
:07:49. > :07:51.one. Hits the double five and the first leg goes to Denmark's Ann
:07:52. > :08:08.Louise Peters. Game on. Understandably, a nerdy first leg.
:08:09. > :08:09.From both players. -- nervy. Both were capable of a lot more than
:08:10. > :08:18.that. It doesn't matter how much
:08:19. > :08:22.experience you have. You talk about the fantastic season which Rachel
:08:23. > :08:26.Brooks has had. The final of the World Masters in Hull, one of five
:08:27. > :08:30.tournaments in which a got to the final. When you come to the Lakeside
:08:31. > :08:36.for the first time, such an iconic venue, it is understandable that she
:08:37. > :08:42.takes a little time to settle down. That is the case with both of the
:08:43. > :08:53.ladies here. Now the troubles start to come. -- trebles.
:08:54. > :09:12.101! To more therefore Ann Louise Peters. -- two more there for. In
:09:13. > :09:22.this round, it is the best of three sets. It is the best of five legs in
:09:23. > :09:48.every set. If you make a slow start, not much time to turn things around.
:09:49. > :10:04.43. Rachel is still waiting for her first time plus visit at this point.
:10:05. > :10:23.Ann Louise Peters has had three. -- first tonne plus visit.
:10:24. > :10:43.100! That is her first tonne. Ann Louise Peters needs another 60, make
:10:44. > :10:53.that 137 when she comes back. Rachel Brooks will hope for either one
:10:54. > :11:15.tonne or 140. 100! Can't be done now. 26. Ann
:11:16. > :11:23.Louise Peters started the lake well. In her last three visits, she has
:11:24. > :11:30.done well. The level this first set at one leg each, treble 20, double
:11:31. > :11:35.ten or two double tops if she prefers, she has hit treble one.
:11:36. > :11:46.Whichever she feels more comfortable with... The 19 would have left a
:11:47. > :12:00.double ten. 18 now. It will leave a double top if and when she comes
:12:01. > :12:05.back. Treble 17 is what she was looking for. There is a chance to
:12:06. > :12:10.level it in the first set. She is composing herself. This is her first
:12:11. > :12:29.darts at a double. Hywel is she feeling on her doubles?
:12:30. > :12:42.That is a good marker. Double ten. No. Ann Louise Peters, you require
:12:43. > :12:47.60. A single 24 double top. There was a chance offer a leg against the
:12:48. > :13:01.darts and a two legged leader but will she be punished by Rachel
:13:02. > :13:13.Brooks? She is looking at 55. -- double five. On the third leg, Ann
:13:14. > :13:15.Louise Peters to three first. It is a hard to watch. It is rough on the
:13:16. > :13:29.friends and family. 85. Good fun for everyone else,
:13:30. > :13:37.though. It is the missed doubles adding to the tension and intensity.
:13:38. > :14:08.One leg apiece. In the first set. 100!
:14:09. > :14:28.Chile has plenty of experience behind her. -- Julie. Rachel is
:14:29. > :14:51.hitting the trebles with increasing regularity now. Rachel Brookes is
:14:52. > :15:17.unhurried. She was disappointed with that last start, as you can see.
:15:18. > :15:38.This has gone and underwear -- Anna Louise's way. Followed by Rachel.
:15:39. > :15:56.Treble 20. Treble 17 would have hit the old
:15:57. > :16:29.Anna Louise is looking at the treble 16. Get the single. Anna Louise
:16:30. > :16:45.Peters leads. The pressure is on Rachel Brookes.
:16:46. > :16:56.She has to hold her throne to stay in the 1st set. It's not far away.
:16:57. > :17:14.None of them have found the red bit. Unlucky. 60 points on the
:17:15. > :17:20.floor. Far fewer bounce outs this year than last. They have changed
:17:21. > :17:49.the boards. The World Masters in Hull is not
:17:50. > :18:05.always a barometer of form in terms of what happens
:18:06. > :18:24.in the Lakeside. Certainly 1 of the most consistent players, Rachel. She
:18:25. > :18:36.has never won here. She comes here as top seed more often than not. A
:18:37. > :18:47.good time for 140 from Rachel Brookes. Her best result was a
:18:48. > :18:58.couple of years ago, when she was runnerup. It is 1 of those annoying
:18:59. > :19:43.numbers that can't be taken out with 3 darts. This is all about the 19s.
:19:44. > :20:06.She needs 4 or 6 of them. Another one for a double 19. Not this time.
:20:07. > :20:30.Double top for Anna Louise Peters. The first leg of the darts gives her
:20:31. > :20:43.the first set. She has been deadly around the double. She took one,
:20:44. > :21:21.three, and four. Tony is watching on pensively. A
:21:22. > :21:33.decent start with two 100s. Rene is equally pensive. Winning the darts.
:21:34. > :22:42.-- willing. Down to 120 after 12 darts. This has
:22:43. > :22:52.been a good leg for Rachel. Shanghai 20s for the first leg of this second
:22:53. > :23:04.set. She will need two treble 20s to take this out. There is one of
:23:05. > :23:22.them. Pressure to get the 80. What a time to find a 140. 79 left. She
:23:23. > :23:34.can't now finish. She has to move two legs away. There it is. She
:23:35. > :23:39.missed eight darts in the first leg, but she hasn't missed one
:23:40. > :23:55.since. That is a leg against the throw. She
:23:56. > :24:03.has to hold her throw in the second set free to-0 victory. -- for a 2-0
:24:04. > :24:28.victory. Where has the scoring gone? 45, 28.
:24:29. > :24:32.Not what she wanted, having won that leg. Can Rachel Brookes take
:24:33. > :25:20.advantage? She can. She really can. More than 100 ahead, Rachel
:25:21. > :25:29.Brookes. This is better from Anna Louise. She went to get a drink of
:25:30. > :25:38.water. She seems to have rediscovered her range. She still
:25:39. > :25:50.has a lot of work to do to hold her throw. I don't know why she switched
:25:51. > :25:56.to 18s there. She hasn't left herself a finish. Anna Louise has,
:25:57. > :26:28.of course. What can we see? Will this be the
:26:29. > :26:49.big one on day one? It doesn't look like it.
:26:50. > :27:07.Anna-Louise, you require 126. A good start. She needs another one of
:27:08. > :27:25.those. Or at least a bullseye. Good recovery. Rachel, you require 110.
:27:26. > :27:39.She could do this, Rachel Brookes. 18s here, double 18. Oh you, what a
:27:40. > :27:59.shame. She really needed that. Here is a big dart. Last chance. No
:28:00. > :28:18.score. How did she do this? She needs this now. Straight in. Third
:28:19. > :28:24.leg. That is the first leg that Rachel has won. Close to a one-10
:28:25. > :29:06.checkout. I think she will look at the fact
:29:07. > :29:17.that her scoring has improved. There is still room for improvement. Look
:29:18. > :29:40.at how that darter went off to the side. -- dart. Even if she hit big
:29:41. > :29:56.20. Psychologically, that was important. Over 100. Her seventh of
:29:57. > :30:22.the match. Rachel Brookes is the favourite to win this leg. She is
:30:23. > :30:27.nine behind, but with the throw. She needs a treble to finish. She finds
:30:28. > :30:56.it. Anna Louise, you require 156. She
:30:57. > :31:09.had a treble start. It wasn't forthcoming. A treble 20 is Rachel
:31:10. > :31:23.'s number one priority. She is the favourite from here. She finds the
:31:24. > :31:38.20s. She is having a think. 6040 left. -- 64. She still has the
:31:39. > :31:59.bullseye left. Okay. Do it that way. Anna Louise require 118. She
:32:00. > :32:10.hit the treble 20 with no trouble. Rachel
:32:11. > :32:35.is in the mad house here. She needs to make 13s. She missed the big
:32:36. > :33:02.three. Rachel requires two. She can go for it with this dart. One for
:33:03. > :33:12.double six. Double four, then. Rachel requires two. Rachel is
:33:13. > :33:26.getting closer. Like she was in the last visit. Still no cigar. Double
:33:27. > :33:44.four to Peters. This is to move a leg away. She gets it. Fourth leg,
:33:45. > :34:13.Anna Louise to throw first. All of the leaks in the set have gone
:34:14. > :34:26.away. -- legs. There is that errant dart. We have talked about Rachel
:34:27. > :34:35.Brookes, but Peters is struggling with the finish line in sight. Great
:34:36. > :34:57.last dart. Here we go. There is another. With
:34:58. > :35:04.Rachel having hit 41 and 26, that was a leg she needed to save the
:35:05. > :35:09.match. I wonder if she is still thinking about all those missed
:35:10. > :35:27.darts. You have already touched upon it,
:35:28. > :35:37.but that is the problem with the short form game. That is what the
:35:38. > :35:47.ladies are playing right now. It exaggerates any mistakes. She needed
:35:48. > :35:57.that. It is best of three all the way to the final. Then it will be
:35:58. > :36:13.best of five. There have been some momentum swings, but not here. There
:36:14. > :36:30.is some way to go for Anna-Louise to win her first match on the Lakeside.
:36:31. > :36:43.This is for the match. Treble 19. Double 16 as she comes back. I
:36:44. > :36:53.remind you, gentlemen, that you are at the Lakeside. Some of the crowd
:36:54. > :37:03.are getting rowdy here as we get to the end of the evening. This might
:37:04. > :37:17.be her final dart. It may be too much to ask. If Peters can hit
:37:18. > :37:31.double 16, this could be it. Last chance. No. Last time she had three
:37:32. > :37:48.darts at double 16, she missed them all and Rachel came back to win the
:37:49. > :38:17.leg. Double nine to stay alive. Tony can only buy -- bite his nails. The
:38:18. > :38:23.biggest double nine of her life. 52 players have whitened out to 40. --
:38:24. > :39:04.widened. The leg is started with the maximum
:39:05. > :39:15.again. Razzmatazz, and then some. That stopped just short. Over
:39:16. > :39:20.corrected. I remember when the overseas players used to come to the
:39:21. > :39:35.championship and it was more or less a walkover. Now darts has taken off
:39:36. > :39:52.in the world. Especially with these new qualifiers. Australians,
:39:53. > :40:04.Japanese players, Latvians, Greeks. A man from the Czech Republic.
:40:05. > :40:36.He's got it! It's the bull. He's got to go for it. Unlucky. 56. Double
:40:37. > :40:47.top. Single one, double 16. Double 16.
:40:48. > :41:12.Game on! Just strolling back. No, we're okay. Michael thought it was
:41:13. > :41:17.his throw. The other guy said, hold on. That was a break throw. A good
:41:18. > :41:38.start for Razma. He's looking unruffled. Still looks
:41:39. > :41:40.cool, calm and collected. I wonder if the heat and the pressure are
:41:41. > :42:00.getting to Michael? 96! That's one of the better matches
:42:01. > :42:14.in this first round. As far as consistency. 58! Requiring 125.
:42:15. > :42:19.Already on a finish. Treble 20 would have left tops. He will stay there
:42:20. > :42:40.and come back for 60. With a finish. Razma with 20 double
:42:41. > :42:55.top. Lost a bit there. It's going well! Yes, it's going well for
:42:56. > :43:06.Razma. They want to see more of this. He has his supporters. We've
:43:07. > :43:19.all been supporting Greece recently. I went to see Zorba.
:43:20. > :43:44.Eight legs a piece. Here is a leg that man can't afford to lose. Very
:43:45. > :43:48.pretty young ladies here, this year. A chance to take control of the leg
:43:49. > :44:00.that Razma failed to take. Will it cost him? It could well. That's
:44:01. > :44:05.good, 140. Brings him back into it. 140! Responds in kind. Dart for
:44:06. > :44:31.dart. Another one. Three on the trott. --
:44:32. > :44:40.trot. 58! Requiring 77. 12 for bullseye. Oh, yes!
:44:41. > :44:51.Game on! That's what it means! He is having a right go at himself. This
:44:52. > :45:10.is good. Has a chance here. Razma just scored
:45:11. > :45:16.40 with his first visit. Now, Michael doesn't take advantage.
:45:17. > :45:22.Razma struggling again. Good last dart. He needs it. He has really
:45:23. > :45:52.come back to life, has Michael. 83! Only 32 behind. Again, can't find a
:45:53. > :45:59.treble. It seems when he goes below he can't get up enough to get into
:46:00. > :46:07.the treble. But in the treble, he has that range. Just noticed it.
:46:08. > :46:12.Razma with the opposite problem. Here we go. Just gets it over the
:46:13. > :46:34.top, you see. Can't finish now, whatever he does.
:46:35. > :46:46.So, six from 194 to take us into a deciding set. Good start. He'll take
:46:47. > :47:03.that steady ton. He's back in the match, Michael. 16! Requiring 94.
:47:04. > :47:13.Leaves him double 19 for the set! 76.
:47:14. > :47:38.Single one. Double four. 14. He's let Razma in. Oh, that's
:47:39. > :47:47.disappointing. Could it be thrown away? Oh! Never even got a shot at
:47:48. > :47:58.the bull. Should have gone for the big 20. Double two to keep the match
:47:59. > :48:06.alive. To take us to a deciding set. It's been enthralling. Greece
:48:07. > :48:20.against Latvia. A chance for Greece to equalise. One more... Greece slip
:48:21. > :48:33.up. Razma requiring 54. Surely this is it. Here we go. Double top
:48:34. > :48:48.needed. Can he do it? No! He's back. Yeah. Look at the sweat coming down
:48:49. > :48:52.his brow. Just in case you were wondering how much pressure they
:48:53. > :49:01.feel, you can see it. There it is! Double one. That takes us to the
:49:02. > :49:23.decider. Game on! Well, I don't want to see either one
:49:24. > :49:31.of these go out because they're a credit to this year's championship.
:49:32. > :49:40.60! No real advantage of throwing first in this deciding set. Two legs
:49:41. > :49:53.all. You have to win by two legs. 41.
:49:54. > :50:13.He's right in the middle. Looking very despondent. Just get on with
:50:14. > :50:23.it! Still only 85 from Michael. A bit of a lull at the start of the
:50:24. > :50:32.set. He has a chance of taking it. Two darts at double top for the
:50:33. > :50:45.match. Missed by Razma. Better darts from Michael there. 140! Razma back
:50:46. > :50:56.with a ton 40. Still not much between these two. The first finish
:50:57. > :51:20.will be to Michael. 200 - you need a lot. OK, he could go for treble 18.
:51:21. > :51:38.He wants the bull now. Oh... 126. A nice finish. Yes! He's done it!
:51:39. > :51:50.He'll feel better now! Oh, dear. Lovely shot, right in the middle.
:51:51. > :52:06.He's got the throw. 81. Never looked like winning that leg, Razma. Ton
:52:07. > :52:16.40, then a 126. Keeps catching the fly there.
:52:17. > :52:25.Just stopping it to throw it further up. Good shot, good cover. He has a
:52:26. > :52:40.spring in his step again. A lead of 56. 45. Plus, these three darts.
:52:41. > :53:05.Needs 104, if he gets it. Yeah, treble 18. Back on the 20s. No out
:53:06. > :53:32.shot for Razma. 41. So say all of us! Double ten!
:53:33. > :53:37.Yeah! John Michael loves it! Brilliant. Well done.
:53:38. > :53:51.John to throw first. Little Richard doesn't refer to that Richard, but
:53:52. > :54:04.Richard Ashdown, who has just taken over as MC. For years he was our
:54:05. > :54:08.spotter in the commentary box. 140 to start the leg. Razma looking a
:54:09. > :54:47.bit dejected. Good recovery needed, that one. If
:54:48. > :54:57.he can hold here, he will move a leg away.
:54:58. > :55:03.Has the habit of coming up short and failing to recover. 146 is the
:55:04. > :55:15.finish. This is the opportunity for him now. He needs to get to the
:55:16. > :55:28.treble 20. Leeds, 141. -- leads. He isn't going to finish. That's for
:55:29. > :55:31.sure. 58! He has done 126. How about 141, with a treble 19 and a double
:55:32. > :55:46.12? It can't be done. Treble 20. Four double 14. Treble 18
:55:47. > :55:52.will leave 77. This leaves the bull's-eye! Lucky. So close. --
:55:53. > :56:12.bullseye. Can he do it? The marker's there. He's there! One
:56:13. > :56:27.leg away. He has the darts. There it is. A champion's dart. In fact, it's
:56:28. > :56:38.only really finding those doubles that sets him apart. 53% is his
:56:39. > :56:49.check-out percentage, which is excellent. Michael's is 35%.
:56:50. > :56:58.That's average. Here we go, here we go! 140! Here we
:56:59. > :57:54.almost go. Michael with the lead now. 82 left.
:57:55. > :58:06.Went for the bull with that dart. He's OK. 140! Down to the finish.
:58:07. > :58:22.He'll have to go for 17, now the bull. Oh! This is... Match point
:58:23. > :58:37.right here. 81. -- 82. That's the 50. He wants double 16. He's done
:58:38. > :58:47.it! He's done it! Razma! Oh, give applause to these two men. Latvia,
:58:48. > :58:51.Greece. What an exhibition! Bring them back. When the ball over here
:58:52. > :58:56.now. That just about wraps things up.
:58:57. > :59:00.Thanks for your company, after a scintillating opening day. Join the
:59:01. > :59:06.rest of the gang later on this afternoon. One AM -- it's all about
:59:07. > :59:10.to begin.
