Day 3 Darts: World Championships - Extra

Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd. E-mail: [email protected].

Hello and welcome to tonight edition of darts extra where the drive for

the second round was continuing in earnest at the World Championship.

We are focusing on the all Dutch clash between Jan Dekker, who made

the semifinals two years ago, and band pass, looking for his first win

at the third time of asking at the Lakeside.

We now introduce our number six seed and former semifinalist, the

reigning International open champion, the double-decker arrives

at Lakeside, Jan Dekker. His opponent, a fellow Dutch

international and European cup champion. The former German open

champion. Introducing Big Ben, Benito van der Pass!

Great mates. Just as Benito get us under way, you may have noticed he

was holding a football shirt as he walked onto the stage, a shirt of

Will Helm, a team in Holland. He has two great mates who were involved in

a car accident to play for that club. Ronald is still in hospital.

The other broke his leg, shoulder and hips and is recovering in

hospital. Keep fighting is the message from Benito. He is

dedicating this match to them. Get well sewn, please do. We have had

nine darts thrown. As we say, I think it is going to be a level game

in the early stages. We know the talent they have got in Holland. Van

Barneveld started it all. Four times a champion. These are the kids that

he has brought through. So, Yann Decker, 261.

When Barney reached his first final, Benito, aiming for treble 17

and tops, was two years old. Good finish. Treble 20. Treble 17, then a

shot at the bull's-eye. Single 20. He had to move. Double

top. Double ten. Early stages. 218s for Jan Dekker to take the first leg

against the darts. Two nines -- two 18s. Miles away. So is that. Taking

time to get used to the rocky, to the throw -- stage. It will be fast

and furious. Locky look at how he that bored with

his eyes. -- the board. He really concentrates, Bonito.

Jan Dekker told me that he was feeling really confident. He has

have that confidence in himself since June. He won the International

open then. He won the Luxembourg open as well in the past 12 months.

He said, look, I played the circuit and I am seeded sixth. Why wouldn't

I be confident? Right in the middle of the oche.

Good flow of the wrists. This would be a nice one.

Three loose darts. He's not got the rhythm yet. I'm sure it will still

be coming forth once he loosens the arm, gets used to the stage. A

marvellous crowd for an afternoon. He was going for a treble and a

double 18. He has taken 60 from it. Benito van de Pas with a chance at

92 to take early control of this first set. Double 18. You have got

to love the way they go around the board, Tony, keeps us on our toes.

Two double 18s was the shot. 17 will give him double 16. OK, double 16.

He has now missed four darts at a double. Van de Pas with a chance at

double nine. A great marker. He can come of the barrel if he likes. --

off. You can call this a warmup leg if you like. Double 16.

The girls certainly love their darts. Oh, dear. Giving them some

stick. A quiet start from two players with

Lakeside experience. Plenty of experience playing against each

other, with each other. Still, plenty of time for this match to

catch fire. Let's hope it does. Dekker beat the number one seed in

2012. So, we know the talent these two youngsters have. Difficult

playing each other in this first round.

We mentioned it is the third time in a row that Jan Dekker has faced one

of his Dutch mates in round one here. In 2012 he lost 3-2 to

Christian kissed and he edged out Gary Thompson in round

two 4-3, before losing 5-4 to Ritchie George in the

quarter-finals, a match he feels he should have one. -- won. Treble 19.

Treble 20. Single 16 to leave double top. And Dekker is still on 229. No

score until then. No score of 100 plus in this leg from Dekker, that

is why underpass can aim at double ten to take a 2-1 lead in the set.

-- the underpass. He is not in the game so far in this set. -- van de

Pas. a nervy second leg.

46. Still haven't found their schooling.

-- scoring. It's all loose. 140.

Benito is doing the business. Jan, in this leg, has hit 45, 39 and

needed that treble to stay in touch. His throw, this, remember. 30.

A cover shot. 96.

Come on, boys! 57. Who wants this? Maybe they are

trying too hard. They play with each other. 100! There you go. That's

what this match needed. 59. Finishing now. A double four after

that treble. Five darts from 236 for Dekker. Much more like it.

The cobwebs have been blown away. 97. He is coming into his own now.

It does happen sometimes. Takes you three or four legs to settle on the

stage. Really, they're both mates, how do you get agression at times?

It's difficult. They weren't chatting backstage. Jan Dekker has

an entourage of 13. The same people who come every gear. -- year. He

spent the morning playing cards. 40.

It's 2-2. 134! 2006, would you believe, when

the world title was won. Feels like yesterday. Unlucky. Spends a lot of

time sand papering his tips, so that doesn't happen.

He's all right. 99. Double eight will be his aim. To take this first

set. 140!

Jan requires 16. This is for the set.

OK, once it has gone by and it has gone to Dekker. -- one set.

Really good crowd on a Monday afternoon. First non-bank holiday

afternoon darts at Lakeside, in mid-week. We are here every

afternoon throughout the week. He seems to be pulling his darts.

Not getting a full extension. He had a good lake and a half, Dekker. --

leg. 78. That's more like his throw. 140! No

problem. Yes, that's still 82 left. Double

16! Three great darts there. He had eight or nine bounce outs last year,

did van de Pas. After that 170, he has left himself double 16. To win a

third leg in a row. Christie is a good darts player in her own right

and she approves. Benito with the advantage. He has to get himself

into the game. The pair have had some loose starts. Dekker coming to

the fore now. Interesting the way they both stare at the board. Van de

Pas looks like he is trying to do damage to the board. Dekker is

almost apologetic. His bottom lip comes out. It reminds me of my

seven-year-old when I tell him he can't have another sweet. At the

moment, van de Pas has plenty to look angry about. That's his fourth

bounce out. Dekker with a finish of 157 after

this. Treble 20. No finish. 93, Benito requiring 99. He needs

this. That was aiming at treble 19. He now needs the bullseye. OK,

treble 16. Just follow it along. 32. But it

didn't sing a song. Benito requires 45. Double eight. Lots happening for

Benito. Two 16s for Jan. No problem, Dekker.

Third leg, Jan, game on. That was a break of throw. This is for a two

set lead. 100. Yeah, better darts now. They've loosened up. Especially

Jan. 93. Dekker with a very smooth throw.

Benito... Has tried in recent history to change the angle of

approach of his darts, so he gets fewer bounce outs. An hour or so

ago, he was sanding the tips. Spends about a minute per dart, with sand

paper, roughing them up. 95. You just need a pumice stone.

A bit of information from our sound department, who know everything. The

strength of impact of Benito, when he aims at 139, whatever he aims at,

he can't finish now, is very light. The ball. --. The board as it comes

in. Single 20. Double ten. Yes, he has done it! Mum, Sylvia. She will

know that was an important leg for Benito to win. He looks happy and

his darts look better. It's amazing what breaking 80 run of losing legs

can do. -- a run. 100. Still has to get past Dekker in this one. 97. One

set up. 2-1 in this set. You don't want to go two down. 140! Dekker

keeps the pressure on. Van de Pas... Responds. But is 94 enough?

58. Benito needs 110. To level this set, at two legs a piece. He'll aim

at the 14s now. It's 32, if and when he comes back. Dekker with 147 can't

do that. 100! Benito needs 32. Must not miss. Double eight. Benito van

de Pas, yes, doesn't miss! Game on! This is a big leg.

Benito, you've got to take this. You don't want to go two sets down. You

have saved this set so far. Now you've got to take it.

That's a good one. Plenty of room left. Could fill it up. Only a

fraction. It's more pressure on Benito.

Not enough. Six darts and 189 at least four Jan Dekker to win this

set. -- for. 93 is finish. To go 2-0 up. In fact he has now got 64 93,

hasn't he? Double 18 four setpoint. -- he has now got six for 93. Double

18 for setpoint. Jan Dekker knows how important that

was. They was beginning to get a bit of a foothold into the match --

Benito. Cracking darts to win that leg and

hold the throw. Now he is a set away. He is the man now, he really

is. Plenty of room for another one. He is relaxed, you can see, van de

Pas is trying to force his game. Checkout percentages.

This is to break the throw. He will be back.

Benito has not had a score over 60 in this leg. He has not got into

this game. Fee is under no pressure at all.

That is what Jan Dekker needs -- he is.

Benito has a chance here. A good finish, 138. He went the 19s route.

He can't now finish. A fourth go at double 16 to break the throw and win

the leg and move two away from winning the match.

A big comeback from this. Getting no look. Pounds out number six for

Benito van de Pas. -- bounce out. Cost him his first

maximum. Macro wind Jan Dekker with a nice

smooth flow now. He will be back. 186 still on the

board. Another double 16 chance for the

leg. We should mention the red heart

badges that the players are all wearing on their collars. It is for

the Heart of Darts charity, which has been going since 2000. Many of

the players are wearing the heart. They grow both had it as an earring.

-- big Robbo. He seems to have lost belief since

his brief comeback in the second set was extinguished. He his still in

the game, he has left the 170. It still gives him a chance. Let's have

another. Unlucky. Matchpoint, Jan Dekker. There is the treble 20.

There is the ninth. Double 16 for the match. A good end to a decent

match. Benito van de Pas never failed on the top stage. Jan Dekker

did enough. He goes through. Carol said that check broke new ground for

his country when he appeared at Lakeside as the first represented

from the Czech Republic and he could barely have picked an older

opponent. Paul Hogan made the quarter-finals way back when in

1995, and last appeared here at Frimley Green seven years ago. But

did the old-timer still have the magic?

Only six months ago Paul Hogan won the Gold cup. A completely different

feel. You know there are millions of people watching around the country

and around the world. He said he looked up his opponent on the

Internet and he didn't know too much about him and the Internet search

didn't yield much either. Join the club, Paul. There is Paul's wife,

Wendy. She will be happy with the start her man has made. The one the

first leg. Three 100s in this leg so far. Back with a chance to take out

120 in a moment. Pretty good. He won't try and fill

it up. Instead he will leave himself 66. It is a very wild dart from Paul

Hogan. He hands the initiative back to the man from the Czech Republic.

He needs 16 and double tops to level.

Double tops for Paul Hogan. Careless finishing has let him down so far,

three Mr darts at a double in the first leg, one in that leg as well.

-- missed darts. The one advantage that Paul has got is the fact that

he has been here before. He knows what to expect. He is a

quarter-finalist at the Lakeside Way back when in 1995. He was a

qualifier back then, he lost to eventual champion Ritchie Burnett in

the quarter-finals. Then he had two more 1st-round defeats and failed to

reappear until 2004 when he drew van Barneveld and lost.

Carol has some support in the crowd in the form of Carolyn, his

girlfriend. -- Carolina. Wendy approves. First 180 of the

match. The Lakeside approves. He will have a shot at 80 to take

this first set in double quick time. Can do this in two darts. This is

for the set. No problem at all. A perfect start for Paul Hogan. He

has been playing well. He entered four knockouts over Christmas and he

won them all. I asked him how his scoring was, he said pretty good. I

asked him how his finishing was. He said very good. And so far that

proves he was right. The first set that he took was against the darts.

It has been in this part of the world for 20 years. It is an

unmistakable country trying. -- twang.

Trying to hold his throw here. 140! That will help. Sedlacek has a

chance. Can't do it now. 46 for a fourth leg in a row. Double 16 this

time. Perhaps he should have stayed up top. 16, for double top. He needs

this. It's a long way from the Czech

Republic when you haven't won a leg in the first four that have been

played. He has a bit of work to do, losing the first set against the

dark. Can he hold here? -- the darts.

We often ask sportspeople, have you looked through the draw? No, just

the next match they say. Paul Hogan said if he wins he will play Scott

Mitchell. Then he listed all of the other players he would have to play.

So, not really, he said. 81. He is just delighted to be back.

He has been ranking 160. For ten years he was an England

international. Less than three years ago, he won his last cap.

He beat James Wilson in the final of the Gold Cup back in July, when he

was representing Berkshire. James was drawing for Yorkshire. I think

it has done him the world of good. Hogan down to 99. Apra one is back

on 209. -- Sedlacek is back. But that helps the cause. He needs to

get a leg on the board. Sedlacek will have a chance. Five

darts at the double so far. Two more chances here at double eight. Double

top for a fifth leg in a row. Double ten now.

20! Missed opportunity. A glimmer of hope here for Sedlacek. His

girlfriend looks like she is playing for this. He gets it!

He has a leg on the board. The software salesman from the Czech

Republic. Sedlacek says he has had big days

before but nothing to match this. He searched his English vocabulary and

paused and wanted to get the right word. To describe how he felt. He

said, it's a mega match. 81.

Paul Hogan taking charge of this one as well. 140!

Down to 76 after 12 darts. Sedlacek not given much of a look in. Double

eight. 140!

His second go at 76. Treble 13 now. It has made his life difficult. 22!

A chance for Sedlacek to win a leg. 40. Requiring 54.

54. Double 18 he needs. Yes! There aren't that many times that

you end up where you throw a double eight and end up winning the lead on

a double 18. -- the leg. Important for him to keep the momentum of this

match going his way, to have one that leg. Great start.

To this fourth leg of the second set for Paul Hogan.

Back into thousands six, he lost a thrilling quarter-final. -- 2006.

Hogan took it to a deciding set. The following year, he was beaten in the

first round. Then a long drought for making it through the qualifiers to

be here today. And he is making the most of this.

His girlfriend isn't having any fun at all.

This is for eight to set lead. Treble 14 would have left double 11.

Yes! Unorthodox but, who cares? Hogan

leads to-0. -- 2-0. The performance of Sedlacek is a

little bit out of Choon at the moment. -- out of tune.

95. Just a reminder, this is a

preliminary round match. Scott it shall await the winner of this one.

-- Scott Mitchell. This would get him going. Treble 19.

He needs double 12. Yes! Yes! Yes! Not far away from the highest

checkout of the week so far. He won't care about that. He will just

care that it's given him something to build on.

Hogan told you his finishing was pretty sharp. That is a tidy set of

statistics. Of his eight misses, seven came over the space of two

legs at the start of the second set. Starts at 157. A poor start for him.

Another treble 20. Leaves him double 16. And he will be back to have a

look at it as well. Sis six. Hogan requires 62. -- 66. He looks nervous

but no need, finishing like that. Paul Hogan is now two legs away from

winning on his return to Lakeside or the first time in seven years.

One on the floor therefore -- there for Paul.

He has given himself a decent chance again.

I wouldn't want to see him if he wasn't nervous.

The single leaves the bullseye. 92. Requiring 156.

Clearly having a bit of trouble with that first diet. -- dart. The double

16. Perfectly justified. Next to no time. Paul Hogan is one leg away. He

has only lost one leg so far. And he has the dark. -- darts.

Steel, Sedlacek has a commanding lead after six darts each. -- still.

Needs to capitalise. Can't afford to lose this leg. He has to break Hogan

twice. If he is going to take this through to a decisive fifth set.

Small steps, of course. First of all, he could do with doing it here.

70 when he comes back for that first break. He could do with a double, a

treble. There it is. He is under some pressure. He has hit 12. 18

four double top. He needs it. Just falls short. Matchpoint, Paul Hogan.

Another treble 16. He went four double 16. 62. Requiring 20. Double

ten. Now 55. Massive dart for Sedlacek! Holds his nerve!

Breaks the Hogan throw for the first time!

That's the first time we have seen the crocodile rocked. Eyes to see

just before the match started that they were practising together on the

same board -- nice. They weren't chatting, but they were getting a

feel for how each other throw is and hosting each other. -- throws and

toasting each other. Down to the finish already,

Sedlacek. Such a big thing, momentum in

darts. If Sedlacek could win this leg, and he does look favourite,

then all of a sudden it is 2-1 and the match has a different

perspective. Takes out 96 into darts and he wins

the set. He has won two legs back-to-back. -- in two. He had two

as well. Can he build from here. Paul says, when a couple of legs

aren't going his way, he sometimes literally kicks himself. Just a tap

on the ankle to get himself going again.

It is all of a sudden very tense. Double 18. He has done it before.

That takes early control of set number four.

Motions to the crowd to get himself going.

Travel would have left double. Two treble 20s and tops is the only to

take out 160. Two darts and double tops to break

the throw. One at double ten. Double top four Sedlacek. He can't

hit it either. Two double four -- double tops for Sedlacek. Three for

double one. It's been a couple of times that

Crocodile Dundee has had those big Machar wide open. Sedlacek has

wriggled away from the jaws of defeat. -- gnashers. Hogan is still

in control. 28 only from Paul Hogan. He needs a

big score here. Treble 20 leaves double ten to move

ahead in this set and he has done it. He has broken the throw.

His entourage is happy. He has got the two breaks that he needed. If he

holds here then we go to a deciding fifth set.

Again, it is not the scoreline necessarily that matters so many

times, it is how you get there. Paul, if it goes to macro having

blown a 2-0 lead,, will be brewing missed opportunities -- ruing. --

2-2. This will make him feel better. Number four for Paul Hogan.

Follows it up with a 45. Still a decent advantage in this leg,

which, of course, if he wins, knows he will be one leg away from winning

the match with the throw. If he wins.

25 leaves bull's-eye. Almost spectacular. 96 under pressure.

Treble 20. Sam Mac one has to break the throw

again to stay alive. Which way is this match going -- Sedlacek.

A steady start from Hogan. Sedlacek staying with him dart for dart.

Treble four is the treble. He has only broken Hogan twice -- treble

for treble. Those two breaks have come in Hogan's last three. Suddenly

a bit of clean air between Hogan and Sedlacek. He will be back, 80 points

away from winning the match. Six darts if he wants them. Tops for the

match for Hogan. One match dart missed, but Sedlacek

can only throw these and hope. Sedlacek lives to fight another day,

but he surely needs to take out 104. What has he done there? He

needs treble 17 for the Bullseye. He gets the treble 17. Paul Zeit, or

bust for Sedlacek. Carolina can't watch -- Bullseye or bust. Not far

away. Surely now it is Hogan's to win. Double five. Yes! The local lad

does it. Sedlacek fought bravely and valiantly, but Paul Hogan, who

started in brilliant form, faulted as the finishing line approached.

But he has got there. Crocodile Dundee makes it through to play

Mitchell in the fourth round and ultimately Sedlacek bounced out.

When Jerome herding graced the big stage earlier this morning he became

the 27th Dutch player to do so at Lakeside. Standing in his way was

Dave Prins, a.k.a. The Badger, who had the unwelcome record of four

defeats in three previous visits to Frimley Green. Could he stop the

rot? He is about as quick as we have seen

this year, Geerdink. Whereas Dave will not be rushed.

Certainly can push them through the air.

Strange, even for the Dutch. He comes from an area in eastern

Holland. It's not an uncommon name apparently. Just speaking off the

area in eastern Holland, where he is from, I also learnt today that

people from there are known to be particularly late. Similar to us,

then! His wife has come with him as well.

140. Requiring 78. There is Danielle. Treble 20, double 16.

The bull. It's their! -- there. Already the crowd is going. They

love the bull to finish. That's a match he has been thinking

about on and off for one year. With those seven diets to win it, all of

which he missed. -- darts. You get the feeling he is here to make

amends. He has got the rhythm. He is looking to avoid becoming the

fourth player in World Championship history to lose each of his five

matches on stage. He had three, Tony Payne, Davy

Richardson and Steve West. Never far away from that treble.

Trying to get himself going. I am sure he will get right into the

rhythm. It takes a while. 125. Acclimatising.

134. Requiring 72. All of a sudden this is under a bit of pressure.

Double eight innings and he gets it! -- he needs.

That was his first dart at a double. Didn't mess about. You can tell. He

is a momentum player. Brilliant. Good finish. 140 to start.

Reminds me a bit of... A blonde Ted Hankey with a ponytail. I don't

think he was as fast as that. Treble 19. The wrong bed there.

Double top. Well back, here. Under no pressure. He has applied a bit.

Needed that 140. There it is. He has got the crowd

going. You can see the teddy bear on his

back. It's from a kids' cartoon. He was given that nickname when he was

seven and it stuck. Incidentally, he is Norwegian. We are getting

educated. Well done. Thank you very much.

And, in Swedish, I have just been told, he -- the main has a different

meaning. It's a type of sausage. Look at this! He has found his form.

Found his form? He is taking it away.

I can't recall ever seeing anyone through as fast as these. -- this.

Tom West was one of the fastest players. But I think it's the height

of him. This is for the set, for both players.

It goes to Prins in this first set. They called him The Badger and that

is set building of the highest order.

It around about four seconds for Geerdink from the moment he releases

the first dart to the moment he releases the last. It's more like

seven or eight with Prins. 41. Requiring 158. The big finish at

158. Treble 20 with the first. Staying now on the 20s.

74. Three 19s and two 11s. 20 tops, Topsy needs. He has not led in a set

yet. This will hurt. Against the darts. Treble 18 would lead him

tops. Just fallen short. Back to the 20s.

What a nice couple of darts to start the language. First maximum! -- star

the leg with. Lavishly celebrated at Lakeside. They love it. That's what

they pay the money for. Come on, let's have another three. It's 3-3

so far. Prins leads by 1-0. Look at those check out percentages. Pretty

good. Yes. It's a top-class match. 140!

Geerdink is 35 but he doesn't look it.

Treble 20. Treble 17 leaves the bull. Treble 20 again. 52. Requiring

136. Two treble 20s. There's the first. A wild dart. That's a wild

dart at treble 17. Treble 19 leads double six. 14 for tops now. Yes!

The finishing is the steel of the highest order. We are all square in

the second set. He really is the cool man at the

oche. 125. 43 from the Dutchman, punished by the Englishman.

There again. And another. It is like he caught the

There again. And another. It is like he flight there. Still a 43 and a 25

answered by a 125 and a 121. Better from Geerdink. Still Dave has nicked

the darts and then some! Right in the middle. Really flowing now,

isn't it? Really flowing from Prins. A shot now at double tops. Just the

one dart to go. He will be back. 169 is not an out shop.

This has been a loose leg from Geerdink. The 140 aside. Double tops

for Prins to move a leg away from a two set lead. He has done it. That

the double. Puts him further ahead. -- that's the double. Two previous

left-handed players have won the title. Les Wallace in 1997. And Mark

Webster in 2008. Last year he lost to young Bobby

George. Richard. He tends to score in batches,

Geerdink, and he tends to miss in batches as well. This is a really

weak leg from him. 41, 43, 45. Not putting any pressure on Dave Prince,

who is down to a finish. Better -- Dave Prins. Good finish, two treble

20s. He has hit it before on the Lakeside stage in the first round of

2010 against Martin Phillips. Not this year.

Single 16, double tops. Five darts at tops if he needs them. There it

is. They turn to the crowd. He gets the applause he was looking for.

Nothing's black and white for this Badger. But he seems to be throwing

well. He has a two set lead. Surely this is the Lear -- the year when he

wins his first match at the World Championships. I am very impressed

with his play tonight. Plenty has changed over the last couple of

years. Experience is what tells. You know what it is like to have the

finishing line in sight with those seven darts to beat Young Ritchie

George. -- why. This is a bit of a feeling of redemption about it --

young. Here we go. OK. Geerdink is still in here. 179.

Got the 19s off. OK, treble 20 leaves 82. He won't be finishing

this time. This is to break the throw. 20 and

tops. Must hit this you would feel. 62 to move ever closer. Treble ten.

Yes. Eight. -- double eight. OK, watch the speed. Watched the double.

Ten it is. Watch the five. -- watch the double. That is double four.

Prins is smiling. Double two. Not the best on the board. 11. Can't go

any further. -- double one. Oh, dear, dear, dear. Double five for

Geerdink. Yes. Not the start he was looking for.

Geerdink gets off to a stinker. He could be punished straightaway.

We also know he's a very calm character. But this is a major

assault. Everyone's standing for the Prins. Appreciating the applause as

well. Oh, come on. Yes. We will have another one. He will take a 140

every day with his opponent back on 291. Now, time to prove that those

missed doubles in the previous leg were just a blip. Double 12 he

needs. Just pulled it a fraction. Know out

shot for Geerdink -- no. Here we go. Double six. Going to go for

double three. Yes. He missed the dart to bust it. He went for the

Bullseye. He can't now finish. That is a great last dart. One, double

one. In the madhouse for the second in a row. That first one is a little

awkward. Bust again. OK, never give in. 16 for double top. Watch the

speed. He is smiling as he throws. Single one. Double one.

That's the one. His Boyet, David, he was pleased. Relieved is the word --

his boy. Good exhibition of darts we have

seen here this evening in this match, coming from Prins.

The bookies had odds of 250 to one on Geerdink. As it stands at the

moment, they are right. More heavy scoring from Prins. A third maximum

in fact. He is 12 points better with his first nine darts than Geerdink.

And that's why he is two sets up. And he is finishing so well. He is

back again. Macro poor. -- four. Treble 20. Treble 18 to leave 36. No

out shot as you said for Geerdink. 36 for Prins. He could have done

without that. Still no out shot for Geerdink. Double 18 under no

pressure. He is a leg away. Remember, Dave Prins has been here

four times before and he has lost all four times in the opening

round. 12 months ago he missed seven darts to beat Ritchie George in the

first round. Is this his time? I would say yes. Because that score

there, that 140, just took it away from Geerdink. But he is fighting

back. It's always that last double, the

one that takes the match is the hardest. He is coming back now. 120

in front, Geerdink. So, it may not be this leg which takes the match.

He is down to 158, Geerdink. Prins is back on 277, but he would love to

leave himself a finish. He can't do it now. Treble 20. That has hit the

flight. Came out. That is unlucky, but he will be back. His third

bounce out of the match. He has lost his rhythm. Getting near the winning

post. Well, he hasn't left a finish, Dave

Prins. So, double 19. Yes. What a crucial leg we have coming up right

now. I don't know if that was

encouragement or just shouting. But Dave has the darts. It's in his

hands. Just keep your cool. The big man wants a big score. It's

not coming his way. 140. AT -- 80 left. He is still

fighting away. Yes, what a finish it would be now.

Ready to explode. Oh! 55. This would hurt.

He can't, he can't. Dave will have another chance and another dart.

Nine four 88. -- double eight. Three for double two. First, hit the big

three. 22 for the match! Yes, he has done it! He has finally won a

match! It's his fifth year here! He missed seven match darts last year

but that's redemption! He has won it at last. Finally, in the women's

draw, the number four seed was hoping to make the quarter-finals

for the very first time. But standing in her way was a Norwegian,

who is following in the footsteps of her brother, after he made a debut

here 12 months ago. Fascinating match.

She has been one dart away from winning a match three times. I bet

she feels now she has never had a better. Sensibly takes a moment to

compose herself. Proudly flying the flag of Norway. I

am prepared to bet that not everybody here with a Viking helmet

on is necessarily Norwegian. She has had huge success on the

stage. This is a leg that Gore has to win.

She has a sizeable advantage. 91 points. 12 darts apiece. 60. 2004

the Viking one the semi-final. I remember Barney saying it was like

he came down from a different planet and produced darts that were out of

this world. Frightening to think that was ten years ago.

Speaking of kings, who is going to win? Will each be Gore or David? She

struggled in this leg, which is understandable.

100. Letter from Julie. She would have left herself a finish. She

needs some inspiration. Treble 20. Needs a double 18. She will be back.

162 is the boatie number. -- bogey. She was superb in winning her match

yesterday. What can Gore do here? Treble 18,

perhaps treble 14. She went for the treble 14. 14 or 16? She needs the

bullseye. This is Shanghai and this is for the

match. Need a treble. For the fourth time. She has missed

a dart to win the championship. Number 16. That's a decent marker.

21. Five. Gore requiring 24. She doesn't

look like she believes she'll hit the double 12. That's why. 16. For

the fifth time of asking, she will have match darts. Double 16 she

needs. Double eight. 27. Someone in the crowd went too early. A

unilateral cheer but it was out. Six missed darts for the match. 81.

Plus the three she had a few years back in 2009.

It's going to prey on her mind. No question about it. David falling

short and to the right with one of her darts.

83. This is a decent leg from Gore. 81, 100, 83. She is taking command.

It looks like she will be... First down to a finish the game. But can

she finish? Can she shrugged off all of those Lakeside disappointments

and find that double? It might not be the finest game of

darts we have ever seen in terms of quality but it is engaging. 100.

Gore requires 157. 60. Julie requires 97.

97 for the match. Treble 18, for double 12.

20 will leave tops. 57.

She will assume she will be back to have a go.

And she will be back. A fraction away from the treble she needed.

It's a double top for the match, for Gore. A first ever victory on the

Lakeside stage. This is her 10th match dart. No

score. Just went the wrong way. All of a sudden, that grew three is

looking at 95 for the set. -- David is looking.

For the 11th time of asking, to win a match on the Lakeside stage,

double top she needs! Please, she says, please go in. And

it won't. There is Ann-Louise, who will play

the winner of this game. To save the set now and take it to a

decider. Yes! Julie Gore wins! Delight for

her! It's over. Well done, Julie Gore.

She breaks her Lakeside dart. A massive weight off her shoulders.

She is through to a quarter-final tie. Thanks free much for your

company this evening. That wraps up the highlights from Day three. You

don't have to wait long for the next instalment. Join us on BBC Two at

1pm. Amongst other matches, we have the three-time runner-up Tony O'Shea

against Martin Adams. We haven't got to wait long for that. Good night.
