:00:34. > :00:38.Hello and welcome to the second instalment of Darts Extra. The late
:00:39. > :00:43.night review of some of the day's best action here at the BDO World
:00:44. > :00:49.Championship. We're starting in the first match with Gary Robson in the
:00:50. > :00:54.13th year here at Lakeside. Would it be unlucky for him against Ron
:00:55. > :01:08.Mulencamp. Your commentary team now. He's already upped the oche and
:01:09. > :01:13.gone. I think he's rushing it a bit there, don't you? Well, he's playing
:01:14. > :01:18.much more quickly than he was when he first came to the oche in the
:01:19. > :01:23.first couple of legs. Understandable that it would play on his mind.
:01:24. > :01:27.Eight successive darts at doubles missed, which would have given him
:01:28. > :01:29.the first set. Of course, all he's got to do here is hold and he has
:01:30. > :01:53.the first set anyway. Yes, 2-2. It's the sets that count.
:01:54. > :02:01.Just the advantage of the throw there.
:02:02. > :02:15.Rob is going to be shook here. Oh, yes, what a difference to the leg
:02:16. > :02:29.that makes. No answer. 143 for Meulenkamp for the first set. Treble
:02:30. > :02:35.20. Treble 17. Single 2 instead. Was that aim in there. He's smiling away
:02:36. > :02:46.there. Trying to coax him to move it for him. Putting to the treble.
:02:47. > :02:52.Still chances in on 246. 16 double top if he wants. It's
:02:53. > :03:08.double top. That's below. So, chances here.
:03:09. > :03:23.Treble 20. Can't finish now. Double 10. For the first set. 10-set
:03:24. > :03:38.darts so far. And the first set goes to Ron
:03:39. > :03:52.Meulenkamp. That's the first building block for
:03:53. > :03:56.the Dutchman who failed to take a single set on his previous
:03:57. > :04:02.appearance on the Lakeside stage when he lost to Gary Stone a couple
:04:03. > :04:08.of years ago. And look at this - the averages. Exactly the same prior to
:04:09. > :04:17.this visit to the board. It's unbelievable, that! Of course, this
:04:18. > :04:23.game is... He wasn't expecting it. Expecting to really go to town, but
:04:24. > :04:34.Meulenkamp - give him credit. He's all in the zone.
:04:35. > :04:40.I'd like to see this one go all the way. I think there's not long
:04:41. > :04:48.looking at the scoreline there. It's been like that all the way through!
:04:49. > :04:57.The first two darts - one either side of the bed. Massive gap for him
:04:58. > :05:16.to hit in the middle, which he obliged.
:05:17. > :05:39.Well, he had the darts in that leg, Robbo!
:05:40. > :05:46.No-one has been able to rob the darts at the moment. Batman and
:05:47. > :05:50.Robbo here at the Lakeside this afternoon.
:05:51. > :06:03.I'll give you the laugh! I think you're in the minority. All six legs
:06:04. > :06:08.so far have gone with the darts. Yeah, just dropping short at the
:06:09. > :06:16.moment there, getting over the wire at the bottom. If you notice how he
:06:17. > :06:20.pulls his hand downwards. Straight through. Makes a divinchs! And this
:06:21. > :06:41.is the difference. -- difference. Crucial treble with the last dart
:06:42. > :06:50.but this is a chance here for Gary. Didn't get it that first start
:06:51. > :06:58.again. Just dropping a shade low. Two treble 20s. Robbo is coming back
:06:59. > :07:05.for 6. And what happens with that dart? Robbo is in.
:07:06. > :07:11.Oh, he's missed it, that was 18. That would have given him the
:07:12. > :07:20.finish, double 16. Looking at the bull or the 19s here.
:07:21. > :07:26.Chose the southerly route. But missed the single 19, as you can
:07:27. > :07:33.see. He got a 3. The treble 20 here will leave him double 16.
:07:34. > :07:43.He's missed that as well. So Robert will be back. Three darts at double
:07:44. > :07:50.16. Take a leg against the throw. And a 2-0 lead in this. Can't afford
:07:51. > :07:55.to miss this finish now. Trailing by one leg.
:07:56. > :08:02.Double 8, he sneaks it in around the corner. There they go - the crowd
:08:03. > :08:17.applaud. So Gary with the break. Still a set
:08:18. > :08:23.that you would expect him to win. He started with the darts.
:08:24. > :08:28.Meulenkamp's biggest win came when he was a 17-year-old. He won the
:08:29. > :08:37.French Open back in 2006 and that remains his only ranking title. He
:08:38. > :08:42.only looks 16 at the moment. He really has a baby face, what we
:08:43. > :08:48.call, anyway. I don't know what they call it in Holland! Chubby!
:08:49. > :09:01.Yeah, that's blocked the bed. Done the right thing and gone for 19s.
:09:02. > :09:07.But Robbo in the driving seat in this set to get one each in the
:09:08. > :09:22.sets. Got some good entertainment over the
:09:23. > :09:25.weekend. Some fantastic games. More seeds out than that of a garden
:09:26. > :09:31.centre. Well, elg needs this to save the
:09:32. > :10:14.second set. Look at 20s now. Going for two
:10:15. > :10:20.double 20s and got two singles, but he'll be back for a shot at double
:10:21. > :10:22.top if he can't take out 106 here. Good start for him.
:10:23. > :10:31.Double 18. What a finish and what a six for
:10:32. > :10:37.Gary Robson. A third successive leg. His biggest checkout so far and he's
:10:38. > :10:40.tidied up at one set a piece. Deserves all the applause he got
:10:41. > :10:45.there. Yes. This is his 13th BDO World
:10:46. > :11:14.championship: It's 14 lucky for him. Not just that, it's his 12th
:11:15. > :11:19.consecutive year here. When you consider that he hasn't been seeded
:11:20. > :11:24.that many times. So he's had to qualify year hfr after-year. Some
:11:25. > :11:29.achievement. He's a great player, like I said, there's great players
:11:30. > :11:33.from Northumberland. But it's all on the day, you know, how you feel and
:11:34. > :11:36.when you keep going through. But when you've had 12 chances at it,
:11:37. > :11:47.you feel that it is never going to happen. But this year, I think that
:11:48. > :11:53.it really could happen. A great guy. I know him very well. Dumb struck,
:11:54. > :12:07.Holland? Certainly had his moments in the
:12:08. > :12:13.past. Three quarterfinals and then all three of them, he lost in a
:12:14. > :12:19.deciding set. Probably the biggest heartbreak for him in 2011 when he
:12:20. > :12:27.was beaten 5-4 by Martin Philips having led 3-1 in that quarterfinal.
:12:28. > :12:42.Yeah, left-hander Philips. The Welshman! OK, good finish.
:12:43. > :12:54.Well now there Meulenkamp, nervous with that opportunity. Yes, that's
:12:55. > :13:02.good. Double 16 is the shot. Oh, unlucky. So unlucky. A shade
:13:03. > :13:13.away from a 146. 18 leaves double 16 now. And another
:13:14. > :13:18.break and he's taken it. Our legs in a row. Meulenkamp had his chance. So
:13:19. > :13:30.did Robbo and he took it. Oh, this is good. Good for Robbo but
:13:31. > :13:33.I tell you, I think there's a long way to go. That's the double that
:13:34. > :13:57.took it. Again, little to choose between the
:13:58. > :14:00.two players in terms of the scoring. Meulenkamp had his chance. Robbo
:14:01. > :14:09.took it. Same in the first leg. Makes for good entertainment,
:14:10. > :14:24.though, that's the main thing. You can see Gary's accuracy, almost
:14:25. > :14:31.twice that of Meulenkamp. And it's the Lakeside that provides it. All
:14:32. > :14:49.comfortable there, whole families and children. It's magic.
:14:50. > :14:56.He was very talented as a youngster, Ron Meulenkamp. I mentioned that he
:14:57. > :14:57.won the French Open when he was a 17-year-old and also the winner of
:14:58. > :15:06.the junior World Darts Championship. Big man, big finish! Another one of
:15:07. > :15:22.those would help! But it means that Meulenkamp...
:15:23. > :15:30.They'll have to do that. Another one of those. Yes, he wants the bull
:15:31. > :15:38.now. Oh, he's nodding his head in the background there. Oh, Jim! Close
:15:39. > :15:41.to a 16 had. Double 18 there. E. -- a 164 there. And another single dart
:15:42. > :15:45.at a double there. He's hit his last four in a row there. Five legs in a
:15:46. > :15:58.row there for Gary. Ron Meulenkamp had an excellent
:15:59. > :16:06.start but since then, the bomb has begin off. -- gone off. Yes, it's a
:16:07. > :16:23.bouncing bomb, isn't it, this one. So this man here, it's bouncing.
:16:24. > :16:31.Just a reminder that each set is the first to three legs and the match is
:16:32. > :16:39.in this first round stage are the best of five sets. First of three
:16:40. > :16:56.sets. Yeah, very short discipline. Really is!
:16:57. > :17:09.Nice shot there in the Lakeside. Not one for Robbo, though.
:17:10. > :17:34.Pet ra biting her nails. Do you think that's what it was,
:17:35. > :18:00.ultimately? She looked petrified! Trying to remain impassive now. OK,
:18:01. > :18:10.Gary, take it away. Two trebles is wanted. 160 coming in for
:18:11. > :18:17.Meulenkamp. Two treble 20s needed to start with. He can't finish now so
:18:18. > :18:23.Robbo coming back and looking at # 0 to take a 2-set to one lead. Having
:18:24. > :18:27.lost the first set, can he take the lead in the match for the first
:18:28. > :18:37.tile. Double 9. Yes! Great adjustment from
:18:38. > :18:42.Gary Robson. Takes out the 70. Six legs in a row. And he's turning it
:18:43. > :18:54.around. He took off like a Boeing jet! Oh, yes. This is fun, this is
:18:55. > :19:03.great for Robbo. Fourth set, first leg. It's Gary to throw first. Game
:19:04. > :19:09.on! Great finishing from Gary Robson after some nervy darts at doubles in
:19:10. > :19:12.the first set. His finishing has been good and had the 106 checkout
:19:13. > :19:17.in the last leg of the second set. And he hit a double 18 at the time
:19:18. > :19:22.of asking and in that third set, he only had three darts at doubles. Hit
:19:23. > :19:30.them all. Wins the set. Leads 2-1. Yes, and it's been doubles over the
:19:31. > :19:37.years that's let him down. Otherwise I'm sure that there would have been
:19:38. > :19:45.a couple of finals here. 13 years he's been endeavouring to reach the
:19:46. > :19:48.top. Is this his year? That's the big question that's going to be
:19:49. > :20:07.asked now. As you can see, so far, he hasn't
:20:08. > :20:10.lost a single leg when he's had the darts. This one going the same way
:20:11. > :20:14.at the moment. Not on a finish, though. 165! It's
:20:15. > :20:29.not a great shot. Well, putting it closer is Petra
:20:30. > :20:37.rubbing her hands. That will do, that's enough. 43, 122
:20:38. > :20:51.is a good finish. Gone way back. Surely needs two
:20:52. > :21:00.trebles here. Thought about the treble 19.
:21:01. > :21:10.See which way they go. May go for 18s. I don't know how he's gone
:21:11. > :21:15.there in between. It went for treble 18 there.
:21:16. > :21:38.For a seventh successive leg. I think that he when for the bull. He
:21:39. > :21:44.leaves himself 58 but here is a chance for him against the darts.
:21:45. > :21:59.20. Double top, come on, sunshine! Yes. He deserves that, definitely.
:22:00. > :22:09.It's only the second time he's hit a double in 14 attempts. Too good a
:22:10. > :22:19.player to be missing those. What a talent he's got.
:22:20. > :22:38.I've seen that on a police car, but not in the Lakeside.
:22:39. > :22:52.He's losing control at the moment. He's getting through to him, I
:22:53. > :22:57.think. He's got no breathing space. Well, he had the break and an
:22:58. > :23:00.opportunity for Robert to break back straight away. 130 ahead after six
:23:01. > :23:20.darts each. So, it's going ahead. Another treble
:23:21. > :23:25.20 would be welcome. He obliges. And there we are - 143 to finish. 319
:23:26. > :23:43.for Meulenkamp. Oh, dear, it's great this one. Big
:23:44. > :23:50.chance for Robbo. Particularly if he can hit the treble with the third
:23:51. > :23:59.dart. He can't. The pressure on 139 here for Ron Meulenkamp. Hits the
:24:00. > :24:06.treble 19. Options here. Double top from 139.
:24:07. > :24:13.Great darts for Ron Meulenkamp. It's pandemonium here. Oh, what a finish.
:24:14. > :24:28.The young against the old. There it is. What a beauty. OK. Don't say -
:24:29. > :24:31.are you going to let this one loose now, Robbo? Oh, is it getting
:24:32. > :24:47.through to him? Keep your head up high. You've got
:24:48. > :24:51.to give it to him, this youngster. There's been real ebb and flow when
:24:52. > :24:56.you see that which costs you two sets, you'll be suffering from meant
:24:57. > :25:04.and disintegration. Great response in this fourth set from Ron
:25:05. > :25:13.Meulenkamp. There he goes again. And he looks so comfortable.
:25:14. > :25:38.He's back in there, and again. And again, another maximum. What a fight
:25:39. > :25:53.back this is. Applause everywhere. What a match! His going for maximum.
:25:54. > :25:59.Can't finish from here, but it won't matter for now. He'll be back for
:26:00. > :26:04.80. And might even have six darts at 80. And each trebles, the fourth set
:26:05. > :26:24.has gone quickly for him. Yes, they're standing and
:26:25. > :26:27.applauding. Is it going to be another one against the head for
:26:28. > :26:46.Robbo? Well, the laths time that these two
:26:47. > :26:51.met, Ron Meulenkamp was victorious - that was in the semifinals of the
:26:52. > :26:58.Belgian Open back in 2011. The first time that they met a couple of years
:26:59. > :27:03.before that, Gary whitewashed his young Dutch opponent. And this one
:27:04. > :27:12.going right to the wire. The trouble is what's going through Robbo's
:27:13. > :27:24.head? You know, to be in this position before. But he's really
:27:25. > :27:27.come good, is Meulenkamp in the latter stages. You can't take it
:27:28. > :27:39.away from him. The two tonnes. Having a whip around the board
:27:40. > :27:54.there. Is this destined to be Robbo's
:27:55. > :27:59.eighth third round defeat here at the Lakeside? Well, with a score
:28:00. > :28:07.like that, Jim, not at this stage at the moment. 166 is not an out shot.
:28:08. > :28:11.But a couple of three bad darts here... There we go. Can't finish on
:28:12. > :28:20.166. Got over that one. That was a good
:28:21. > :28:29.dart to get over the top of the first one. Oh, and another treble!
:28:30. > :28:44.Left 32 double 16. Against the darts, he's on a 13-darter. So, can
:28:45. > :28:50.he follow up? Ton, ton. 135, 134. Double 16 for a 13-darter and a leg
:28:51. > :28:57.against the darts in the decisive set? No problem at all. The momentum
:28:58. > :29:05.swings back the way of the man. Big Robbo just needs to hold twice. And
:29:06. > :29:18.he's through. He's back in there. Right back in there. He's got a
:29:19. > :29:27.second win. And he's sailing now. This kid is still hanging on and
:29:28. > :29:32.he's back in to it as well. One to relish, this one.
:29:33. > :29:38.Very little to choose between the two men and the scoring. . Oh, it's
:29:39. > :30:10.brilliant. I haven't sat down yet. Just proof of next to nothing
:30:11. > :30:17.between the two men with the averages there. A quarter of a point
:30:18. > :30:21.at this stage of the game. Unbelievable!
:30:22. > :30:34.Oh, dear, this match is really turning this place around. Could
:30:35. > :30:47.have got another throw in there at least. All in the corner. For an
:30:48. > :31:03.instant break back. 16 for double top. Oh, no! Come on Gary. Treble
:31:04. > :31:09.20. Go to 83. Double 16. They're waiting for it and they've got it!
:31:10. > :31:15.They've get it! Oh! What a leg of darts that was. Ashs brilliance from
:31:16. > :31:18.both players. But Robbo takes it. Listen to them going mad. Here we
:31:19. > :31:33.are. And it's not over yet. A massive missed dart at double top
:31:34. > :31:41.for Ron Meulenkamp. And it looked as though he wouldn't be punished and
:31:42. > :31:49.Gary Robson takes out 143. Right, OK, let's set tl down now. He's back
:31:50. > :31:52.again. This is great, Jim, isn't it? He's not going down without a fight.
:31:53. > :31:56.Great character from the young Dutchman, but it is Robbo who is a
:31:57. > :32:21.leg away. It's got the angel of the north on
:32:22. > :32:28.the shirt. I bet she was dancing for delight when that one went in.
:32:29. > :32:36.But still - Ron not giving up the ghost. What is it? Is it 140 and two
:32:37. > :32:54.tonnes in the nine darts. Treble 20. So... He'll be coming
:32:55. > :33:00.back with that. A good score, I hope.
:33:01. > :33:10.The finish for Gary. Can he set up himself a decent finish if he fails
:33:11. > :33:14.to take out 104. And the second dart helps.
:33:15. > :33:26.He might need this to stay alive. Treble 16 will be the next target.
:33:27. > :33:34.Double top for a big 104 to stay in the match. Some way away if the
:33:35. > :33:36.truth be told. He might be on the wrong end of the Shanghai Surprise
:33:37. > :33:53.here. It's Shanghai! Double top for the match! Oh! Yes.
:33:54. > :34:00.At last! He's overcome it! Who do? You do! He does! Absolute
:34:01. > :34:06.brilliance. Oh, Jim. Was that not a match and a half! Magnificent play
:34:07. > :34:10.from Gary Robson. 143 and 120 checkouts in the last two legs.
:34:11. > :34:17.Meulenkamp missed darts to win both of them. And Robbo has punished him
:34:18. > :34:23.and finishing brilliant. The first round hoodoo is over. He's through.
:34:24. > :34:26.Now to a preliminary round that really was the old and the new. Mike
:34:27. > :34:30.Day travelled from New Zealand and in the process, set a record
:34:31. > :34:35.becoming the oldest player to appear here at the Lakeside at the tender
:34:36. > :34:38.age of 58. His opponent, Sam Head, a mere 20 from Hampshire. Let's see
:34:39. > :35:12.who had the upper hand! Mike Day qualified for Lakeside as
:35:13. > :35:16.top-ranked players on the BDO's newly-established New Zealand
:35:17. > :35:20.Regional Rankings Table. He won the 2013 Canterbury Open and he is the
:35:21. > :35:25.fourth New Zealander to appear in the BDO World Championships
:35:26. > :35:31.following Murray Smith, Gordon Allpress and Peter Hunt, who reached
:35:32. > :35:39.the second round in 1995. Yes, I remember Peter very well. Very good
:35:40. > :35:44.player. Peter Hunt in fact came here in 1993 and 1995. And then in 2003
:35:45. > :36:10.and 2004. Four visits and one match won! Right
:36:11. > :36:12.in the corner - how did that get in there?
:36:13. > :36:24.OK! Shanghai! This is for the set. Treble! Or hit the barrel!
:36:25. > :36:36.He'll be back for double top. That's for the set. Sam Head's scoring has
:36:37. > :36:40.deserted him. I think that he's just releasing them too quick. Ever since
:36:41. > :36:45.the 142 connectout in the second leg, he hasn't had a shot at a
:36:46. > :37:05.double. This is for the set. That's a great marker. So is that!
:37:06. > :37:13.That's Mike's wife, Wendy, looking on and praying for a double 10. Yes!
:37:14. > :37:28.She says. Yes! He missed 13 darts at a double in
:37:29. > :38:02.that set did Mike Day, but he won it. That was against the darts.
:38:03. > :38:15.You may recognise Jim Sturgess talking to Bobby and Marie George.
:38:16. > :38:20.Actor in 21 and One Day on the left, also appears with Bobby playing a
:38:21. > :38:27.darts player in a film called London Fields, I'm told. Bobby and Jim have
:38:28. > :38:37.become firm pals. Welcome to the darts, Jim!
:38:38. > :38:50.So many loose darts for this young lad. He wants to settle it down a
:38:51. > :39:02.bit. Rushing away! It's suiting Mike.
:39:03. > :39:10.Well, the story of the match as Mike eyes up 141 was Sam Head started so
:39:11. > :39:15.well. Missed seven darts and a double in the first leg before
:39:16. > :39:20.winning it. Nicked the second with a 142 checkout and since then, he's
:39:21. > :39:30.been nowhere. Treble 20 and bull's-eye.
:39:31. > :39:47.That is four legs in a row for Mike Day. He's not been put under much
:39:48. > :39:58.pressure at the moment, is he, tony? No, it's not his day. It's all going
:39:59. > :40:04.Mike's way. Mind you, he's not as erratic as Sam Head.
:40:05. > :40:40.It will be starting to enjoy himself up there. Good scores here with
:40:41. > :40:48.another 140. So 174, 140. And a 187 after six darts.
:40:49. > :40:57.What a good leg for there for the lad from New Zealand. 87 left. Nine
:40:58. > :41:08.darts thrown. Looking at an 11-dart finish. Let's see if he can do it.
:41:09. > :41:43.He has missed, would you believe it. 16 darts at a double for Mike Day.
:41:44. > :42:06.But he's won five legs in a row. He's getting the odd treble, isn't
:42:07. > :42:11.he, Sam Head? But he needs the ton 40. He needs a 180, you feel, to get
:42:12. > :42:20.hill going. Head could get three in a bed. That might set him off. Well,
:42:21. > :42:40.like I say, 20 years of age. He would be head strong. He was ahead
:42:41. > :42:48.early. This is better. Just the one again in the treble. You see there
:42:49. > :42:51.just two 140 pluses compared to seven from Mike Day. Yes, and Mike
:42:52. > :43:08.is running away with it, isn't he? Not much time now for Sam Head to
:43:09. > :43:14.turn this around if he's going to. 164 is a finish and he will have a
:43:15. > :43:19.crack at it. He's already done 142, remember.
:43:20. > :43:28.OK, he needs the treble. So Mike will be coming back for 76.
:43:29. > :43:42.Here we go - treble 20! Double 8. Oh, where is that gone? Out of the
:43:43. > :43:53.room, maybe! Treble 16 would leave him double 8. Top he needs. Oh, yes!
:43:54. > :43:56.He stopped the rot. He lost five legs in a row. But that was
:43:57. > :44:19.emphatic. I'm warming to Mike here. He's
:44:20. > :44:43.scoring well. He's scoring as well as he needs to, certainly.
:44:44. > :44:57.So now a chance for Mike to get back into the 60s. Nice and steady.
:44:58. > :45:08.That's the way. There's his wife supporting him. He has lost the
:45:09. > :45:21.advantage of throwing first, Sam Head. That's in the treble. As the
:45:22. > :45:39.match has gone on, he's got better. He has got a finish on 116. Treble
:45:40. > :45:55.leaves double 18. Double 18. OK, Sam. Can you do it? He wants double
:45:56. > :46:06.top. Double nine. Yes, he has done it. Well, Mike Day. It's been a long
:46:07. > :46:21.journey but it's looking good at the moment. 2-0 to Mike day. -- Day. 20
:46:22. > :46:30.missed doubles for Mike Day. It hasn't cost him.
:46:31. > :46:38.That might. Neither player will be particularly pleased with their
:46:39. > :46:47.checkout percentages. 23% for Day, 27% for Head. But Mike Day will be
:46:48. > :46:53.pleased with the position he's in, that's for sure. Three legs away
:46:54. > :47:00.from the next round. Keeps getting the treble 20 even with one dart.
:47:01. > :47:07.Glen Durrant awaits in the first round proper. Sam Head in fact lost
:47:08. > :47:16.4-1 to Glenn in the semifinals of the Jersey open in 2012. As far as I
:47:17. > :47:25.know, Mike and Glenn have never previously played. It is a good
:47:26. > :47:32.start. On another day you would have done, not falling for him. Still, he
:47:33. > :47:35.is down to a finish first and he has got six darts from 144 if he wants
:47:36. > :47:59.them. Treble 20. 64 left. No doubt shot
:48:00. > :48:21.for Day. -- no out. Double 16. Double eight. Yes. He
:48:22. > :48:47.needed that. Head moves ahead in the no room for error. 2-0 down in a
:48:48. > :49:00.race to three. He reached the last 16 of the win
:49:01. > :49:08.more world Masters on his television debut, beating Tony Eccles before
:49:09. > :49:13.losing to Phil Mickelson. But his best performance, Sam Head, do date,
:49:14. > :49:17.at a ranking event came in Jersey where he reached the semifinals,
:49:18. > :49:23.losing, as I say, to Glen Durrant. The eventual champion. He is not
:49:24. > :49:32.living up to his standards here tonight.
:49:33. > :49:48.It is all a little bit laboured, isn't it? From both players. Yes. We
:49:49. > :50:02.have got Mike, he's just playing his game, and he's slowly getting there
:50:03. > :50:24.will stop a few tons here and there. He will be on a finish. 107. So no
:50:25. > :50:36.out shot here. a chance. 47. Double 16. And he has got it. .
:50:37. > :50:45.In amongst all this we have seen some pretty tasty finishing. A 142
:50:46. > :50:54.from Sam Head, and a 107 just them from Mike Day. And a good start
:50:55. > :51:00.here, a 140. -- just then. Unlucky, touched the flight and fell onto the
:51:01. > :51:06.floor. He is there again. Lovely darts. He
:51:07. > :51:41.is there again. Another 140. Sam so often has been
:51:42. > :52:00.falling short with his first start. He is on the finish -- first dart.
:52:01. > :52:06.Treble 20. AT scored. 61 left. -- 80 scored. He is on for a 13 dart leg.
:52:07. > :52:23.That is pretty good wherever you come from. What a leg. Double eight
:52:24. > :52:33.is the shot to finish. This might hurt a little bit. He needs tops.
:52:34. > :52:43.Oh, yes. Mike Day had the chance for a 13 dart leg. He misses three darts
:52:44. > :52:56.for a double. He is a very lucky lad. Sam Head responds. He hasn't
:52:57. > :53:04.seen this score yet. 140 from Mike Day. Just a few 140s. 12 of them in
:53:05. > :53:18.fact 11 and a 171. That's the difference between these
:53:19. > :53:24.two players. The heavier scoring from Mike Day. We haven't seen a
:53:25. > :53:30.maximum in this match yet. Haven't really looked like seeing one, have
:53:31. > :53:42.we? I don't know, they have all been around the treble is on Day's
:53:43. > :53:49.throw. Here we go. -- trebles. They must be listening to us. Just in
:53:50. > :54:14.case they are, give us a 9-darter, would you? That would get us going.
:54:15. > :54:32.This is for the set. Treble 20 four double 12. It can't be done. -- for
:54:33. > :54:38.double 12. This is Day -- Mrs Day, very pensive.
:54:39. > :54:50.He needs tops for the set. That could hurt. Let's have a look,
:54:51. > :55:04.Wendy. Must hold here all the match in is
:55:05. > :55:34.here. -- all the match. He hit three trebles, but only one
:55:35. > :55:51.of them was the one that he was aiming for. A chance for Mike Day if
:55:52. > :55:58.he could shove in a 121. Yes, good recovery. Very good recovery.
:55:59. > :56:09.Short again with those first two darts there's the opportunity, get
:56:10. > :56:21.another one. Now he is under pressure.
:56:22. > :56:42.Decent darts. Will they be good enough? There is one. Plenty of
:56:43. > :57:09.room. On a finish, 151. This is for the match. Can't do it now. He got
:57:10. > :57:22.the one off. He wants the bull's-eye for the match. Unlucky. What a
:57:23. > :57:30.moment for Sam Head. 16 for double 16. Eight would have left tops. Oh,
:57:31. > :57:38.no, no. This is Mike Day for the match. 88. Two darts at it and he
:57:39. > :57:43.needs just one -- double eight. The oldest player ever to grace the
:57:44. > :57:51.stage becomes the oldest player ever to win on this stage. Mike Day beats
:57:52. > :57:55.Sam Head and reaches the first round proper. The influx of quality
:57:56. > :58:00.players from the Netherlands this year produced not just one but two
:58:01. > :58:02.all Dutch derbies in the first round for the men's draw. Van Aydin was up
:58:03. > :58:13.against Hough struck. This has been some time in coming.
:58:14. > :58:17.Two Dutch men, close pairs and World Cup partners. Neither have been here
:58:18. > :58:48.for a good while. When they return, they end up playing each other.
:58:49. > :58:55.He reckons that this one is going all the way. Two excellent finishes.
:58:56. > :59:07.Sometimes their scoring leaves a little to be desired, but... Stand
:59:08. > :59:08.by for a long one, folks. Sounds a lit like Hiroaki scoring not the
:59:09. > :59:32.best. But the finishing was deadly. So twhees, the WDF World Cup pairs
:59:33. > :59:35.partners. Van Eijden and Hofstra. Remco Van Eijden from just north of
:59:36. > :00:06.Amsterdam. Van Eijden is the first to a finish.
:00:07. > :00:36.Some way to return, wouldn't it be - 157. It can't be done now.
:00:37. > :00:49.So 100 for Remco to hold this first leg. He needed that treble 19.
:00:50. > :00:56.Double 14! Just the single. So an opening here for Rick Hofstra in the
:00:57. > :01:02.first leg. So, which way is it going to go? Go first? Yes. So nine for
:01:03. > :01:05.double 16. Double 16 for the first leg of the match! And that's what we
:01:06. > :01:25.meant about the finishing. I think they wanted Rick Hofstra to
:01:26. > :01:32.win this game! They've gone quite early, haven't they! Early
:01:33. > :01:38.excitement in the Hofstra camp! There's the support. The shirts in
:01:39. > :01:45.there as well. What will they do if he actually wins the match? That was
:01:46. > :01:48.just the first leg. As the Friesland flag with the red hearts on the blue
:01:49. > :02:27.and white stripes. Remco's last appearance here in 2008
:02:28. > :02:34.when he beat Mario Rober in the first round and then lost to Scott
:02:35. > :02:40.Waites in the second and hasn't been back here since being just the
:02:41. > :02:47.fourth lakeside player to leave it and then come back. And he was
:02:48. > :02:51.saying - yeah, it's far from ideal the fact that he's drawn against his
:02:52. > :02:56.playing partner. They're good mates but they won't be God mates up on
:02:57. > :02:58.that stage. But a chance to break here for Rick. Double 18 he needs!
:02:59. > :03:09.What a good start he's made. 91 in the first leg. Takes out 66
:03:10. > :03:12.with two darts in the second. Everything is going Rick Hofstra's
:03:13. > :03:45.way up to this point. Remco's appearance was back in 2009
:03:46. > :03:51.and he lost to Tony Eccles in the first round. In the preliminaries,
:03:52. > :04:12.he played Anastasia Dobromslova who he beat 5-3.
:04:13. > :04:20.There's Wilma and Naomi, wife and daughter. They're there in the
:04:21. > :04:45.Hofstra camp! Speaking of Dutch darts, of course,
:04:46. > :04:52.Wilma should be Barney Rubble's wife, shouldn't she? Former World
:04:53. > :04:57.Champion Raymond long since departed for the PDC. Hofstra first to a
:04:58. > :05:04.finish here again. He's got up to six darts if he wants
:05:05. > :05:31.them. He'll need them. He's trying to put as much pressure
:05:32. > :05:35.as he can and he's taken a 78 out. But a loose dart will frustrate him.
:05:36. > :05:45.Both of the players on 85 but Rick with the first to have a crack at
:05:46. > :05:58.it. This for the set. Treble 18 leaves double 12 now. So big 20.
:05:59. > :06:06.Remco, you require 85. The bull is one way to go. You went the treble
:06:07. > :06:13.15 way. So 20 for the bull's-eye. Oh, not far away. Set point for Rick
:06:14. > :06:22.Hofstra. He hasn't missed a double so far.
:06:23. > :06:33.Sneaks the third one in! Double top for Rick Hofstra. And the first set
:06:34. > :06:35.in double quick time. The 19 there. Hasn't had anything go his way so
:06:36. > :06:48.far, Remco Van Eijden. Good mates and pairs partners but
:06:49. > :07:16.very different darts. Remco's look almost an eemic. But
:07:17. > :07:22.the other is much more traditional. He's gone for the supermodeling
:07:23. > :07:48.equivalent of the tungsten world, hasn't he!
:07:49. > :07:53.Will be hoping to get through the match without any controversy. When
:07:54. > :08:00.he made his Lakeside debut continue years ago, the first game against
:08:01. > :08:04.Mervyn King. But a match that Mervyn complained that the oche wasn't the
:08:05. > :08:10.correct length and there was a hiatus. And it just got jed out by
:08:11. > :08:13.Tony West by 3-2 the following year. And he's made a fantastic start
:08:14. > :08:33.here. 118 for the fourth leg in a row and
:08:34. > :08:45.his return to Lakeside. Double 19 he needs.
:08:46. > :08:53.I think we know what that meant. Who do you think wears the troulsers in
:08:54. > :09:06.the Hofstra household? Yeah, I'm going for Wilma as well.
:09:07. > :09:18.The finishing has been brilliant so far. Wilma just took a moment to
:09:19. > :09:20.enjoy the double 19 and then she was straight back telling him what to
:09:21. > :09:37.do. Well, whatever she said is working.
:09:38. > :09:53.Won the first set against the darts, a hold from 118. And the first leg
:09:54. > :10:20.of this second set. Can he be first to a finish here?
:10:21. > :10:27.Rick, you require 161. That's a very deliberate style. Two decent
:10:28. > :10:30.checkouts already. The highest of the week so far if he gets it. Not
:10:31. > :10:43.to be this time. A chance for Remco to win his first
:10:44. > :10:49.leg. Outside chance, though, you have to say. Because he only had two
:10:50. > :10:54.darts and a double so far. Treble would have left double nine but he
:10:55. > :11:00.needs the bull. Oh, unlucky! Unlucky. And missed the bull in the
:11:01. > :11:07.third leg of the set and missed it again. And another chance for
:11:08. > :11:13.Hofstra. 16 for double 16. So double 16 there. He's just not missing it.
:11:14. > :11:19.Brilliant finishing from Rick Hofstra. He's won all five legs so
:11:20. > :11:35.far. And if he holds here, he's taken a 2-set to 0 lead.
:11:36. > :11:40.Remco hasn't had many darts at a double but the three that he had, he
:11:41. > :11:46.missed. Look at that from Rick Hofstra. Five out of seven. We knew
:11:47. > :11:54.that he was a good finisher but that's better than good. That's
:11:55. > :11:59.exceptional. And he face an unseeded opponent in round two if he gets
:12:00. > :12:06.through. That's Martin Atkins who plays the winner of this one.
:12:07. > :12:44.Martin's victory against Jeffrey de Graffe yesterday.
:12:45. > :13:01.It's as close as Remco has come. Four visits to the oche in this leg.
:13:02. > :13:06.Three of them have been a bit loose for Rick and Remco tried to
:13:07. > :13:14.capitalise and tried to lever himself back in to the game. Well,
:13:15. > :13:17.here you've been thinking that even a big 20 leaves a Shanghai, 120.
:13:18. > :13:25.That's alright and a treble would have left him 80. A single one, 139.
:13:26. > :13:37.He's opened the door again. For his good mate, Rick.
:13:38. > :13:46.Could do with a treble. Nicely done! So he hasn't been under pressure
:13:47. > :13:58.with many of the finishes. Here's some pressure! 19 and bull's-eye.
:13:59. > :14:15.That's for the set! And that is quite brilliant from Rick Hofstra. A
:14:16. > :14:23.little mini celebration. Blistering darts here from Rick Hofstra. Six
:14:24. > :14:29.legs played. Six legs won. And all six legs he's had a chance to throw
:14:30. > :14:35.for the double. And he's hit it in that visit. There's only two misses
:14:36. > :14:48.at double top but he hit with the third dart and he had that.
:14:49. > :14:56.Of course, we should have known about this because Jacques did tell
:14:57. > :15:01.us that this was going to be a tight match - nothing between these two.
:15:02. > :15:11.Great start again from Rick Hofstra. He's won six legs in a row.
:15:12. > :15:17.The high scoring tells the story for Rick Hofstra. Everything going his
:15:18. > :15:25.way so far. First leg of the first set he took out at 91. Hit a double
:15:26. > :15:29.18 nervelessly in the second and then double top to win that set
:15:30. > :15:35.without reply. And then in the second set, he had a 118 checkout
:15:36. > :15:47.and a 94. So far he's won all six legs against the number nine seed.
:15:48. > :15:55.Well, the way he's been finishing, you wouldn't have put that past him.
:15:56. > :16:11.Another trouble 18. That would have been nice. But he'll be back for 72.
:16:12. > :16:20.Treble 16 for double 12. That's his preferred route to 12. Oh, simply
:16:21. > :16:27.can't miss, can he! This is stunning darts.
:16:28. > :16:34.Finishing of the highest order from Rick Hofstra.
:16:35. > :16:56.Well, he's never won a match on the Lakeside stage. He's had nine years
:16:57. > :17:00.to think about that and wonder whether his chance will ever come.
:17:01. > :17:07.And boy, is he taking that chance at the moment! He might have a la conic
:17:08. > :17:20.style, but his finishing has been absolutely deadly.
:17:21. > :17:31.Best ever result in a major was reaching a semifinal back in 2003
:17:32. > :17:35.when he lost to Barney. Remco on the other hand had six ranking titles in
:17:36. > :17:40.his career, two of them this year winning the Swiss Open and the
:17:41. > :17:45.Austrian Open in Vienna. And was part of the British Classic as well.
:17:46. > :17:59.But he's being beaten up at the moment.
:18:00. > :18:22.And Remco fails to put himself on a possible finish, so six darts from
:18:23. > :18:29.150. If he needs them. Treble leaves double 18. Double 18 for a 150
:18:30. > :18:37.finish! 132. It's almost a surprise that he missed. Doesn't look as
:18:38. > :18:41.though it's going to be a costly miss, though.
:18:42. > :18:54.Might go for 2. He has done. Double 8, then.
:18:55. > :19:15.Two double tops there! And fell quite a long way short. So off the
:19:16. > :19:24.back of three misses... Normal service is resumed! Eight legs in a
:19:25. > :19:31.row for Rick Hofstra. We in, dy still nagging him! -- Wilma, I'm
:19:32. > :19:47.sorry. Remco needs to find his A game and
:19:48. > :19:51.needs to find it fast. This will be a sensational recovery if he can
:19:52. > :20:00.pull it back from here. Rick only needs this leg. Remco is yet to win
:20:01. > :20:04.a leg. Yeah, they're good mates these two, but this is about as
:20:05. > :20:08.unfriendly a performance from Rick as you could hope to see on the
:20:09. > :20:11.Lakeside stage. Surely he can't beat his mate without losing a leg, can
:20:12. > :20:47.he? Good thinking from Rick Hofstra. And
:20:48. > :20:51.that would be a way to close out nine legs in a row with a 170
:20:52. > :21:03.finish. Off you go, then, Rick. Two treble
:21:04. > :21:12.20s and a bull's-eye. Can you? Unlucky.
:21:13. > :21:19.70 is eminently gettable. So van Eijden needs this 141. Good start.
:21:20. > :21:25.Treble 19. Would have left double 12. A look at treble 10 now. And it
:21:26. > :21:31.went the other way to leave him double 10 but he might not get a
:21:32. > :21:41.shot at it. 70 for Hofstra for the match. Wilma and Naomi there looking
:21:42. > :21:51.on. As daddy needs bull! Oh, he ease got it! It is a whitewash! The Hof
:21:52. > :21:56.has destroyed his World Cup partner, Remco Van Eijden. The number 9 seed
:21:57. > :22:00.demolished. And he'll return to the Netherlands without even winning a
:22:01. > :22:03.single leg and Hofstra has never won on this stage, and he's just
:22:04. > :22:07.produced one of the best performances of his career.
:22:08. > :22:11.Now we turn our attention to the women's world championship and the
:22:12. > :22:15.defending champion was Anastasia Dobromslova. She hadn't been beaten
:22:16. > :22:20.here on the Lakeside stage since 2007. Could Karin Krappen from the
:22:21. > :22:23.Netherlands bring her unstuck right here on the big occasion? Your
:22:24. > :22:28.commentary from Jim Proudfoot and Tony Green.
:22:29. > :22:35.Karin Krappen known as the Dutch dolphin. Everything effectively with
:22:36. > :22:41.the throw up to this point. Yeah, I don't know where the dolphin came
:22:42. > :22:56.from, but like you said, there's a lot of bubbles on her shirt!
:22:57. > :23:05.It's already been a successful weekend for the Dutch female
:23:06. > :23:08.continge vent. Tamara Shaw seeing off Trina a Gulliver in some style
:23:09. > :23:32.on Saturday. Tony Martin, he'll be pleased with
:23:33. > :23:41.that! Tony Anastasia's husband! Seeing them go through the pain over
:23:42. > :23:49.many years. With the present way she's playing. Good player himself,
:23:50. > :23:56.actually, Tony. He's played in the championship.
:23:57. > :24:05.Both players on 160 after 12 darts. Anastasia hasn't been able to take
:24:06. > :24:10.it out which will give Karin an opportunity. And she hit the treble
:24:11. > :24:15.20s when she needs them. Same answer!
:24:16. > :24:36.OK, we know that one! Treble 20. Oh! No, she can't finish. 104 for Karin.
:24:37. > :24:53.Single 3 wasn't what she wanted. Single 20 she wants here. A double
:24:54. > :25:00.top if she comes back. Karin, though, with an opportunity for the
:25:01. > :25:05.first set. 20 leaves double top for the set against the 3-time champion.
:25:06. > :25:25.Oh, problems! Problems! Double top. Oh, ever so near. It's not there. He
:25:26. > :25:31.may not be smiling after this. That's it. It's in.
:25:32. > :25:44.Her husband seemed more pleased than she did.
:25:45. > :25:56.Absolutely delighted! Get in there! And again, he'll be cheering! Oh,
:25:57. > :26:01.dear. Just one out of nine doubles hits for Anastasia. That's the story
:26:02. > :26:09.of the first set. Hit a double 8 in the first leg and has missed seven
:26:10. > :26:17.darts at double since. So difficult to defend, you know. I think it's
:26:18. > :26:52.there. Between a gullet there, at eight titles.
:26:53. > :27:06.It's quiet up there. No high scores! Very nerve-racking.
:27:07. > :27:14.Well, Minnie will be coming shortly. Watch out. Just giving her a ring!
:27:15. > :27:17.Do you know, I'm disappointed. I would have thought that Mighty
:27:18. > :27:23.opinion mouse's superpowers would have extended to telepathy. He
:27:24. > :27:34.wouldn't need to text somebody! Everybody is doing it now. That
:27:35. > :27:39.spoilt my day! 14 for bull's-eye. And she'll be hugely disappointed at
:27:40. > :27:45.the distance with which she missed that. And that's another opportunity
:27:46. > :27:52.perhaps for Karin. Treble 17 for double top again. Not this time!
:27:53. > :28:09.They aren't hitting them doubles! It's maybe not her day. Could it be
:28:10. > :28:22.this young lady's day? Wants double 10. Two darts left. Double 5. I just
:28:23. > :28:43.wonder how crucial that could be. 55 now. Oh dear. One. It appeared once,
:28:44. > :28:57.it is game. It is more exciting than finishing on the 180. At last.
:28:58. > :29:11.Relief for Anastacia, finally hitting a double. A crucial leg. Had
:29:12. > :29:22.Krappen one that, it would have been against the throw. I think she could
:29:23. > :29:48.certainly go to town now. I think it really did help. Good response.
:29:49. > :30:02.That was a good recovery, the last start.
:30:03. > :30:33.She has made her aim better, from the first set. A lovely cover shot.
:30:34. > :30:34.She was 200 behind on the throw. Setting herself up for a return
:30:35. > :31:02.visit, where she will need 64. 16 is is the shot. Now she wants
:31:03. > :31:11.double top. Too hard through the. Coming back for a double top. That
:31:12. > :31:23.is good pressure applied. Double ten. The pressure is telling here.
:31:24. > :31:40.She did not for those against the three-time world champion. 88. Take
:31:41. > :31:53.that. Emphatic punishment. She is two legs up in the second set. She
:31:54. > :32:06.has been let off a little bit here. That is the finish. That is the
:32:07. > :32:11.smile. There he is, we are waiting to see him. The number one seed. The
:32:12. > :32:24.overwhelming favourite with the bookmakers. He is in the top half of
:32:25. > :32:29.the draw. He seems the easier. He won the Masters this year. He never
:32:30. > :32:34.dropped a set. All the way through the tournament. That is the form he
:32:35. > :33:04.is in. Settling down a little. This could
:33:05. > :33:27.be a finish, 170. A top shot for Krappen. The first start off and
:33:28. > :33:53.just falling below the troubles. Being put through the rear. Krappen
:33:54. > :34:09.coming back to 88. To save the set. Still a chance. This to take the
:34:10. > :34:17.set. Trouble 19 leaves double 16, to tie it up at 1-1. I think she must
:34:18. > :34:32.counter. She certainly missed the double. Krappen busts. She knows
:34:33. > :34:53.what she needs now, double term. Just a shade to the left. Look at
:34:54. > :35:08.this. 33. OK, I am sure little is going on, double term. Deciding set.
:35:09. > :35:15.Krappen first. A smile from Anastasia. I think the message was
:35:16. > :35:30.clear. Keep concentrating. She smiled, from Russia with love.
:35:31. > :36:05.A quick change. Like a relay race. Passing it over to the other end.
:36:06. > :36:14.They have had seven legs so far. In six of those, both players have had
:36:15. > :36:20.shots of doubles. The problem is Krappen had in the second set, she
:36:21. > :36:26.had 13 darter doubled in the second set and did not have a single one.
:36:27. > :36:37.Chances to take all three legs, all of them she lost.
:36:38. > :36:54.Katrina knocked out yesterday, at here today. The nine time world
:36:55. > :37:12.champion. I am sure that record will never be beaten. 19, 16, and now the
:37:13. > :37:25.bull. After all those misses, water finish. It has dumbfounded her
:37:26. > :37:41.husband. I do not think she knows what that has come from. The misses
:37:42. > :37:58.are well behind her now. A 123 checkout, and a 134. Anastasia
:37:59. > :38:12.replaying any kind. How is this all come about? It is brilliant. She
:38:13. > :38:26.seems to have sped up, maybe that is why. These are both them. Two 140.
:38:27. > :38:37.87 left. Tewantin 31 remaining of a champion. She takes out an 87, the
:38:38. > :38:48.champion is in real trouble. Two darter double 18, now 199. How
:38:49. > :39:07.costly will be that? No finish, nine is the school. Nine is the score.
:39:08. > :39:15.You cannot miss that. 20, four double top. She needs this. She
:39:16. > :39:22.misses as well. Another chance. Krappen missed the big one last
:39:23. > :39:32.time. Fitted this time, 44. She has put it in the wrong bed. I have been
:39:33. > :39:43.in that position. Here we go. Right in the corner.
:39:44. > :40:05.The smile from her husband. She should have had that one. Verity is.
:40:06. > :40:34.She has got to forget about the last and concentrate now.
:40:35. > :40:49.She had no need to switch there. She could have stayed on the 20. Now the
:40:50. > :41:09.pedigree of the champion coming to the fore.
:41:10. > :41:29.She has been allowed to. A great crowd. They have been here over the
:41:30. > :41:45.last couple of days. The ladies do command respect. 126 is the finish.
:41:46. > :42:01.That is what is coming in. All eyes on the 19 hair. Went for the
:42:02. > :42:12.bull's-eye. Hit the single term, which isn't the worst option. Double
:42:13. > :42:36.top. Double ten now. One more shot at it. Nerves of that. 119 the shot.
:42:37. > :42:49.Treble 20, unlucky. Double ten. That is the one. Deep breaths. She is
:42:50. > :42:56.that, she is happy. It was to break that she needed. Double ten has been
:42:57. > :43:00.kind to her on the past three legs she has won. They have all come with
:43:01. > :43:08.a noble as double ten under pressure. If she holds here, then
:43:09. > :43:50.she is three. She has the darts in this leg. A bit low, she had to get
:43:51. > :44:05.over the top. A chance for Krappen. It is a great job, that lad. A
:44:06. > :44:17.seasoned veteran. He is only 20. I have been there, got the badge. The
:44:18. > :44:26.finishing line in sight for Dobromyslova. Good coverage from
:44:27. > :44:41.Krappen. She has six darts at 141 here. A 41. Krappen need a big score
:44:42. > :44:47.to put pressure on. It does not look as though it will happen. A single
:44:48. > :45:00.known. We will see which way she wants to go. Double 16. Verity is.
:45:01. > :45:08.-- and that it is. The number three seed is through. She is the first to
:45:09. > :45:11.make it through to the second round. Krappen fought valiantly, but to
:45:12. > :45:19.many missed doubles. Dobromyslova makes it through.
:45:20. > :45:24.A 19 Rob Englishwoman had a great opportunity to secure her first
:45:25. > :45:25.place in the quarter-finals. Standing in the way was her opponent
:45:26. > :45:45.from the Netherlands. As it is a her before she came out,
:45:46. > :45:55.are you nervous? She said, no. Just another game. Did you believe her? I
:45:56. > :45:59.had no reason not to. I was watching a practice a few hours ago, and she
:46:00. > :46:05.appeared to be in the zone. She was not talking to anyone, just
:46:06. > :46:11.calmly practising. A lot of hustle and bustle around her. TV people
:46:12. > :46:18.working back and forth. She was just quietly practising. That is how she
:46:19. > :46:28.is. She gets back, does that thing, and that the world go by. This year
:46:29. > :46:38.she has done extremely well. She has won a couple of Jersey tournament.
:46:39. > :46:50.She has been getting to the business and of most tournaments, that is why
:46:51. > :46:56.the runner up in Denmark, runner-up in Germany, semifinals at the
:46:57. > :47:05.Granite city opens, quarter-finals in Belgium, quarter-finals France,
:47:06. > :47:10.semifinals British world Masters. Semifinals of the Sun Parks Masters,
:47:11. > :47:16.what a bad year for only 19. Allah is about to say, she was only 19. I
:47:17. > :47:20.never did any of that. That is why I think she will be a future world
:47:21. > :47:34.champion. Without a doubt, such talent. They were three very good
:47:35. > :47:45.darts. Fallon Sherrock, first to a finish again. She looks to the sky
:47:46. > :47:56.in frustration. A couple of times she has strayed into the one. The
:47:57. > :48:04.bull's-eye perhaps. Double 18, treble four double. A very good leg.
:48:05. > :48:13.She will be feeling better about that. It is funny, on those shots,
:48:14. > :48:18.sometimes you play to be comfortable. I know people would
:48:19. > :48:28.say, if she missed that, she should have gone to the bull, but it is a
:48:29. > :48:31.funny old game. You said it is, looking as Fallon Sherrock, you are
:48:32. > :48:35.looking at a future champion. I am here you, it is about time he
:48:36. > :48:43.wonders. Tell me about it. I am trying. The last couple of years, I
:48:44. > :48:47.have come in as the number one seed. I have never really done myself
:48:48. > :48:55.justice. The one year I got to it, a miscounted. It cost me. My head just
:48:56. > :49:00.went everywhere. I think, oh my god, what did I do? I could not get it
:49:01. > :49:07.out of my head. It was so shorter formats. You have got to live with
:49:08. > :49:11.it and move on. An extraordinary thing that the stage though this to
:49:12. > :49:23.you. Someone is experienced as you are. I wouldn't say cool and
:49:24. > :49:28.experienced. You cannot explain to anyone Howard feels. They have to
:49:29. > :49:35.experience it. There is no stage like this. I have been on every
:49:36. > :49:41.stage possible, and there is none like that. Those many of us who will
:49:42. > :49:47.never experience it can only watch in wonder. It is light jealousy, I
:49:48. > :49:57.would love to. It must be greater that. It is, every blood vessel
:49:58. > :50:08.singles. It brings everything out. For the first time, it can be
:50:09. > :50:26.daunting. I remember my first time, I was like... 193 for Fallon
:50:27. > :50:34.Sherrock. Treble, single, double, on the 20s, to take a lead in the set.
:50:35. > :50:43.There is the treble, this angle, just about will leave double top.
:50:44. > :51:00.Very nearly 120, 138, how about it? No. Good pressure though. Plenty of
:51:01. > :51:16.pressure. The army is tight. You can see it. I know the feeling. -- in
:51:17. > :51:20.the arm is tight. You could see her, as she was aiming at that double
:51:21. > :51:27.ten, and missing low and missing low, just willing her arm to obey
:51:28. > :51:31.her. That is what we do. I do it all the time. You need this leg to stay
:51:32. > :51:42.in it. That is all you are thinking of. You want to stay in it. It is
:51:43. > :51:46.only darts and tennis I can think of, were as long as the match is
:51:47. > :51:52.still alive you have a chance. Definitely. All you have to do is
:51:53. > :51:56.put your opponent under pressure. That makes a difference. You keep
:51:57. > :52:08.them under pressure. If they had the double, brilliant. If you get the
:52:09. > :52:20.chance, he have to take it. A non-combat duel. The momentum is
:52:21. > :52:32.with Fallon Sherrock. 220 points away from the second set. Best-of-3
:52:33. > :52:35.to reach the quarter-finals. I know Fallon Sherrock will never give up,
:52:36. > :52:40.she will battle. She has that make up. The restore some more good
:52:41. > :52:48.ladies out there, young girls, coming through. I think the future
:52:49. > :53:00.looks very good for the ladies. Here we go, single and top. Not quite,
:53:01. > :53:14.but she will be back. Macro one did Ms darts that -- Fallon Sherrock did
:53:15. > :53:31.mess darts. That is a bad pool. She could still have the set. The last
:53:32. > :53:46.darts is the hardest. Definitely. Great last darts. Put the pressure
:53:47. > :53:53.on more. Double 16. That was close. This is a big moment. She needs to
:53:54. > :54:10.hit it. Otherwise she hand the initiative back. Very says. That is
:54:11. > :54:16.what she does. It is what she does. So raises the 19 Rob without
:54:17. > :54:22.composure. On that stage. To miss twice and not throw the last dart
:54:23. > :54:26.away. It is what she always does. She can compose herself and give
:54:27. > :54:39.herself momentum. Then she will go in. Good to see. Definitely. As a
:54:40. > :54:49.said, she is so laid back. It is the most emotion I have seen her with.
:54:50. > :54:56.That is what this stage does to you. She can break the throw here. That
:54:57. > :55:03.will help. She will be three for the match. Certainly, it is Rilana
:55:04. > :55:16.Erades's turn to consider some missed opportunities. That will play
:55:17. > :55:24.on her mind. The first maximum on the stage. Not even a smile to
:55:25. > :55:29.acknowledge it. At this stage, she just looks so cool. Rilana Erades
:55:30. > :55:45.will be thinking about the darts at UMIST. -- the darts she missed. Look
:55:46. > :55:55.at this leg. 48 after 12 darts. Double 16 she needs. 88. See through
:55:56. > :56:07.that last one quite quickly. This is to level the set. She is not
:56:08. > :56:29.far away. Very says. The last couple of legs she has won
:56:30. > :56:44.with her last chance to double. Definitely. She is so unfazed. She
:56:45. > :56:56.is a big danger. You would meet her in the final, of course. Of course.
:56:57. > :57:03.A good solid start to what Fallon Sherrock hopes will be the final leg
:57:04. > :57:11.of the match. She is to ring first. She has opened with 100 and back in
:57:12. > :57:14.the red again. The RAS good girls in the tournament this year. Look at
:57:15. > :57:45.this. 19 years of age, making her Lakeside
:57:46. > :57:55.debut. It is a place in the quarter-finals. She will stay that,
:57:56. > :58:04.she is not under much pressure. Is that one of her foibles? One more
:58:05. > :58:10.leg, job done. She has got plenty of chance to compose herself and to
:58:11. > :58:20.have the double. The single leaves double top of the match. This is for
:58:21. > :58:34.the match. She will be back. , she may be under pressure. -- next time,
:58:35. > :58:46.she may be under pressure. She has not left herself a finish. She does
:58:47. > :58:54.not want to miss. She does not mess. Remember the name, Fallon Sherrock.
:58:55. > :58:57.The 19 -year-old. Turned up at Lakeside to the first time, through
:58:58. > :59:02.to the quarter-finals. Now she smiles. Thank you for your
:59:03. > :59:09.late-night company. That wraps things up. You do not have to wait
:59:10. > :59:12.too long. Join the rest of the gang later on this afternoon. Most other
:59:13. > :59:19.matters will have:
