:00:12. > :00:39.Good evening. Tuesday at Lakeside always sees the completion of the
:00:40. > :00:44.first round in the men's, and the women continue their drive to the
:00:45. > :00:50.quarter-finals. What an all English match we had as Dita Hedman took on
:00:51. > :00:56.Lorraine Farnham from Derbyshire, a former Lakeside semifinalists. Your
:00:57. > :01:04.commentators are Jim Proudfoot and Val -- vassals Alexander.
:01:05. > :01:13.Once again, has had the most extraordinary 12 months. She comes
:01:14. > :01:25.here as top seed for the third year in a row.
:01:26. > :01:35.We were chatting to her backstage no more than 20 minutes ago, and she
:01:36. > :01:42.said, as always, before a match on the Lakeside stage, she's nervous.
:01:43. > :01:50.Has such great desire to win this trophy. A runner-up in 2012 when she
:01:51. > :02:02.lost to Anastasia does promise live in the final. -- Anastasia
:02:03. > :02:16.Dobromyslova. Is this the first one? Just in the wrong bed, but only
:02:17. > :02:24.just. Lorraine is making her straight appearance here.
:02:25. > :02:50.If Dita is slightly off her game, she can take advantage. She has
:02:51. > :02:53.started well. Look at this. Not much wrong with the dance so far. --
:02:54. > :03:00.darts. Dita replying in kind, leaves
:03:01. > :03:15.herself on a finish. Two single 20s, or a double 20 and a
:03:16. > :03:30.double ten. This for the first leg. It can be done via a treble 20.
:03:31. > :04:13.Needed that. Dita off and running. The rain with
:04:14. > :04:28.a decent response. Her second 140 of the match. -- Lorraine.
:04:29. > :05:06.The Mitchells are in. There were. -- beware.
:05:07. > :05:15.James Wilson in action later tonight. His preparations, sitting
:05:16. > :05:23.and chatting to his mates and fans who are watching this game. It is
:05:24. > :05:27.fair to say having spoken to him earlier that he is pretty relaxed
:05:28. > :05:36.about the task in hand later this evening, and equally confident.
:05:37. > :05:53.He's been waiting five days to play. And he's been having fun
:05:54. > :05:57.knowing that he's playing well. Dita goes down for 177. Sets up a finish.
:05:58. > :06:25.Lorraine is on one as well. Lorraine may have been thinking she
:06:26. > :06:32.would have an easy leg, then a 177 later and she is under pressure with
:06:33. > :06:46.this 104. 18 leaves double 16 to hold her throw.
:06:47. > :06:53.Two darts at double top four a leg against the darts for a lead in this
:06:54. > :07:08.second set. She will have to shuffle across the key to adjust. -- the
:07:09. > :07:17.oche. You really feel she needs this to get some early confidence.
:07:18. > :07:27.They both mean business this evening. Dita has meant business
:07:28. > :07:37.throughout the year. An extraordinary 2013 since we last saw
:07:38. > :07:42.her on that stage. She has won the Dutch open, the Scottish open, the
:07:43. > :07:48.German open, the Polish open, the Police Masters, the classic, the
:07:49. > :07:53.England classic, the British Open, the world Masters, the Northern
:07:54. > :07:55.Ireland open, and most recently the Czech Republic open. It is a good
:07:56. > :07:59.job that you read quickly. With darts like that, that is what
:08:00. > :08:25.did it for her. Still early days in this match, but
:08:26. > :08:44.an excellent average for Dita early on in particular.
:08:45. > :09:03.Cover shots have been excellent for both players so far.
:09:04. > :09:20.The darts have been dazzling, hence the dark glasses.
:09:21. > :09:33.Some of the heavy drinkers in the crowd will be thinking they can see
:09:34. > :09:41.five of Captain Sensabaugh there. -- Captain Sensible. Another great
:09:42. > :09:45.cover shot from Dita. Lorraine is doing really well to stick around
:09:46. > :09:54.and still be interested in the leg, despite the heavy scoring from
:09:55. > :09:59.Dita. 18 for double 16, or ten for double tops. She needs double tops.
:10:00. > :10:10.She has missed it twice. She has hit it twice.
:10:11. > :10:16.The first three legs going with the throw, putting more pressure on
:10:17. > :10:28.Lorraine to hold here. Excellent stuff. Three 140s up until this
:10:29. > :10:30.point, Lorraine. Every time she has hit a treble she has hit a second as
:10:31. > :11:12.well. They were on a commuter train up
:11:13. > :11:22.from London. I think he has just discovered the problem. Oh, yeah.
:11:23. > :11:37.Oh, he can. He has still managed to drain it.
:11:38. > :11:45.There's Dean Winstanley, who has had some wonderful days here on the
:11:46. > :11:50.Lakeside stages. A player very much here supporting not just Lorraine,
:11:51. > :11:52.his partner, but also some of his old friends and adversaries as well.
:11:53. > :12:11.Great to see Dean. A former finalist of course. He will
:12:12. > :12:19.be hoping that Lorraine can check out 170. She can't do it now.
:12:20. > :12:34.Lost the 2011 final to Martin Adams, Dean Winstanley. 122 for the set.
:12:35. > :12:38.The Bulls I've for the set. -- the bull's-eye for the set.
:12:39. > :12:50.Treble 19 for Lorraine. Double 16. To darts at it to save the set.
:12:51. > :12:55.Close with the first one. Not close another with the second -- two
:12:56. > :13:01.darts. The toe with a chance to take the first set here. -- Deta. Single
:13:02. > :13:16.nine. She has hit the double. Three now for double two. 22 for the macro
:13:17. > :13:24.-- double two for the set. That famous smile lights up. She hits
:13:25. > :13:33.B-double two Anje Lee leads by 1-0. -- the double two and she leads. A
:13:34. > :13:38.set with the darts. In this short format, it feels hard to come back
:13:39. > :13:44.from a set down, especially against someone of Deta 's class who is
:13:45. > :14:19.clearly throwing well. Nerves? What nerves.
:14:20. > :14:27.The most famous meeting between these two ladies came at the semi
:14:28. > :14:33.finals two years ago when Deta won 2-1, a last leg decider, taking her
:14:34. > :14:37.to first ever World Championship final. Lorraine's only victory
:14:38. > :14:44.against the tour in ten previous meetings came when she was
:14:45. > :14:52.representing Cheshire in the Gold Ladies singles in 2011 at the
:14:53. > :14:58.Lakeside. Nothing to choose between them at this stage in the first leg
:14:59. > :15:05.of the second set. Needed a treble there you would feel. Deta is in no
:15:06. > :15:48.mood to be asked twice. A couple of troubles might have set
:15:49. > :16:09.up an opportunity to break the throw. You wouldn't put it past her.
:16:10. > :16:41.Lorraine will be back for 98. Treble 810 -- 18. She has left tops
:16:42. > :17:00.if she returns. Double 12 she needs, unique this. -- Nick. How
:17:01. > :17:09.good is that? 8101. To move ahead in the set, to break the throw, and
:17:10. > :17:14.just possibly to break the resistance of Lorraine Farlam. The
:17:15. > :17:29.finishing has been so impressive from Deta Hedman. She has thrown the
:17:30. > :17:49.last four darts at doubles. The only one she missed was the bullseye, and
:17:50. > :17:54.it was not far a wage. -- far away. Excellent scoring at the start of
:17:55. > :18:19.this lake as well from Deta Hedman. -- leg. One 15, followed by 40. And
:18:20. > :18:30.that treble 19 just keeps up the intensity. Keeps up the pressure.
:18:31. > :18:59.Lorraine's missing by more than she was. Straight back into the treble
:19:00. > :19:20.20. Went for the treble 18. On a 13 dart at is details. -- Deta Hedman.
:19:21. > :19:40.And the second leg, Peter Hedman. -- Deta Hedman. Perhaps Lorraine has
:19:41. > :19:44.just sped up a little bit now. I think she knows that Deta Hedman on
:19:45. > :20:10.this sort of form is just so hard to beat. There is no less up. -- let.
:20:11. > :20:37.Three one 40s. She got a 177. 14 three figure returns in six legs. An
:20:38. > :20:41.average of 84 stands up with the majority of games we have seen here,
:20:42. > :20:56.in the men's tournament as well at this point. Whether Deta will be
:20:57. > :21:05.able to transform her form to the Lakeside stage is dissipating very
:21:06. > :21:15.quickly. If she comes away from here with a victory, and an average of
:21:16. > :21:25.83, it will send shock waves around the rest of the ladies tournament
:21:26. > :21:39.without a shadow of a doubt. Six darts for it. Treble can now to
:21:40. > :21:49.leave double 16. She has played well, Lorraine. She has just been
:21:50. > :22:06.beaten. Look at this for pressure. From Deta. Is this going to be the
:22:07. > :22:21.first 180? Very close. Double eight now. That might be her last dart of
:22:22. > :22:43.the tournament. The eight -- eight double top here forward Deta. Game,
:22:44. > :22:47.shot, and the match! Deta Hedman! Deta Hedman hopes this will be her
:22:48. > :22:52.first ever World Championship. An average of nearly 84, good
:22:53. > :23:09.finishing, excellent darts all round. Really good game, Deta wins.
:23:10. > :23:16.Next for the three-time champion came the run-up Tony O Shea. Only
:23:17. > :23:28.one could keep their Lakeside dream alive. Your commentary from Jim
:23:29. > :23:44.Proudfoot and Tony Green. Adams gets us under way, and what a way to
:23:45. > :23:54.start. Fantastic entrances from both players. An absolute harsh when they
:23:55. > :24:00.are throwing. -- hush. Wonderful atmosphere here at the Lakeside for
:24:01. > :24:03.this match. Those who bought afternoon tickets could not believe
:24:04. > :24:14.their luck when they thought what they would need witnessing. -- saw.
:24:15. > :24:40.Ultimately, David Cameron ended up with out what he wanted. 140 is a
:24:41. > :25:10.piece. Treble 20, treble 19 would do. 77 left. Tony O Shea is already
:25:11. > :25:21.way behind. What a start! What a start! Not a very good first start
:25:22. > :25:41.there, the way it dropped. Another chance for Adams. Straight into the
:25:42. > :25:45.treble. It could be significant that Martin has played a preliminary
:25:46. > :25:52.round and Tony hasn't. Both of the guys that have played preliminarily
:25:53. > :26:05.round matches so far and then come into the next round, they have both
:26:06. > :26:18.had fast darts. Martin has the darts in this first set. Certainly good
:26:19. > :26:57.points. Martin really is going to town here. 140 before this throw.
:26:58. > :27:16.That is 95 left. 13th consecutive appearance for O'Shea. 95 to take
:27:17. > :27:30.the leg against the darts. O'Shea will have a chants at 146 to hold
:27:31. > :27:53.here. -- chance. He has got three darts to do it. Double trouble! A
:27:54. > :28:03.chance for O'Shea. Single. He wants the double. Maybe it is too early
:28:04. > :28:17.for him. It is a chance he would not have expected. 55. -- double five.
:28:18. > :28:34.Adams is now throwing for the first set. He ended up losing the first
:28:35. > :28:39.set as a result of that. A 40% success rate in that first round
:28:40. > :29:07.match. Adams has picked up the pace, quicker then O'Shea. Getting
:29:08. > :29:20.the best of order. Salon Sherrock, watching on. She played earlier. She
:29:21. > :29:31.was in fantastic form, the teenager from Cleveland. It is just not going
:29:32. > :29:38.for O'Shea. There it is to fans of his, they will not be very happy.
:29:39. > :30:06.You don't win any titles with 57 and 55. Oh dear.
:30:07. > :30:26.Down to 58. O'Shea is still a long way back. Tops here for Martin Adams
:30:27. > :30:39.for the first set. Two were darts at double top. Still not finding his
:30:40. > :30:41.range at the moment. 148 for Tony. It won't be happening. He looks very
:30:42. > :30:59.nervous at the moment. Double ten and it is set point.
:31:00. > :31:11.Double five. That's the one. The first one goes to Martin.
:31:12. > :31:23.At last, the cheers ring out as we saw the finished of that last leg
:31:24. > :31:27.and the set for Martin. Disappointing start for Tony. No
:31:28. > :31:33.disguising that. When it comes down to it, Martin had the darts in that
:31:34. > :31:41.first set and has held. So no significant damage done to Tony
:31:42. > :31:47.O'Shea up to this point. Two 140s at the start of this leg indicate that
:31:48. > :31:53.he has found his feet now. He has been telling himself off. " Come on,
:31:54. > :31:57.get in there" . He knows what he has to do. He's an old campaigner.
:31:58. > :32:09.That's better. It is fluent now. He's on a finish after nine darts,
:32:10. > :32:12.as we look at Martin and the solid stance.
:32:13. > :32:29.A chance for Tony. Treble 17. He went for it. Didn't quite get it.
:32:30. > :32:35.But he will be back for 64. I wonder if there's a last-minute change of
:32:36. > :32:37.mind from Tony. He could be pressured now after that 64. Already
:32:38. > :32:58.on a finish. He can't miss those. Can Adams
:32:59. > :33:04.punish him with a leg against the darts at the beginning of the second
:33:05. > :33:12.set. A good start. Double 16 for a fourth leg in a row. Both missed
:33:13. > :33:17.double 16s at critical times in this match already. He takes a deep
:33:18. > :33:33.breath, looking for 88. He has three darts to do it. -- double eight.
:33:34. > :33:50.Look at that. He has got double trouble is, O'Shea. -- double
:33:51. > :33:55.troubles. Five darts at a double and he has missed them all so far,
:33:56. > :34:00.O'Shea, and Adams has taken advantage. Last year in the final
:34:01. > :34:07.against Scott Waites, he got off to a nightmare start, ended up losing
:34:08. > :34:12.macro 71 having taken out Roddy Green and Wesley Harms in the
:34:13. > :34:19.quarters and the semis. He should have nothing on his mind. -- 7-1. He
:34:20. > :34:25.should be concentrating on the match, but he's not doing it.
:34:26. > :34:32.He's only ever been beaten in the first round four times in his 12
:34:33. > :34:38.previous visits. Most recently three years ago when Ross Smith was the
:34:39. > :34:48.player that knocked him out. Will feed's record is similarly
:34:49. > :34:54.impressive. Lost 15 and 15 at this stage. His 13th consecutive
:34:55. > :34:56.appearance at this World Championship. Riding the corner. It
:34:57. > :35:04.is a treble. He is on a finish. Way back again.
:35:05. > :35:19.83 compared to 275. Good cover shot but he's not on a
:35:20. > :35:27.finish and Adams has six darts from here to move within a leg of a 2-0
:35:28. > :35:34.lead in less to no time. -- less than. 18 would have a better shot
:35:35. > :35:43.looking at oche a. -- O'Shea. World number nine. Double eight.
:35:44. > :36:03.Double four. It is a big finish. Can he do it?
:36:04. > :36:13.Not with these next two unfortunately. He has messed it up.
:36:14. > :36:24.Nothing going right for O'Shea. 44 for a 2-0 lead in the second set. --
:36:25. > :36:26.double four. Second time of asking he wins this second leg, and still
:36:27. > :36:31.Tony yet to get on the board. Come on, Tony. That is the finish of
:36:32. > :36:55.Adams. Look at the difference between the
:36:56. > :37:05.two players in the first nine stats there. 25 points clear of Tony,
:37:06. > :37:06.Martin. It is a vast difference. Especially in a first to three
:37:07. > :37:17.sets. Horrible reading for Tony up until
:37:18. > :37:25.this point. It puts pressure on you as you go for the double, that's the
:37:26. > :37:31.main thing. Still leading in this one as well. that's better. The
:37:32. > :37:42.crowd know it. The crowd are on his side.
:37:43. > :38:10.136 for Martin to take the second set. Another treble 20 will leave
:38:11. > :38:18.double eight for a 2-0 lead. It is a big finish, he's a big man. He's got
:38:19. > :38:28.the first one. Wanted the treble 18. But Adams now... Double eight.
:38:29. > :38:42.Double four. Just hoping... Double two. Oh, now then. Come on, Tony.
:38:43. > :38:57.16. He has hit the double 16 first eight now. He can't hit that. He has
:38:58. > :39:12.bussed it. How critical code that proved to be -- bust. We we'll find
:39:13. > :39:25.out. Double two is not the easiest on the board. He has rushed it.
:39:26. > :39:33.Double one apiece. Adams is first to the oche. Adams leads 2-0.
:39:34. > :39:45.I wonder which side he got out of bed. Because it is certainly not him
:39:46. > :39:53.throwing, is it? I asked him whether he was frustrated that he was down
:39:54. > :39:58.late on Tuesday and not playing before this. He said it gave him a
:39:59. > :40:03.couple of nights extra in his own bed, he made the journey down from
:40:04. > :40:09.Stockport on Sunday. He has got to give it all he's got now. He's got
:40:10. > :40:18.nothing to lose. 2-0 down. He has to go for everything.
:40:19. > :40:27.His head shakes. All the way up the oche.
:40:28. > :40:36.The third meeting of these two here at the Lakeside. Martin won 3-0 at
:40:37. > :40:41.this stage seven years ago. Are we going to see a repeat today? Tony
:40:42. > :40:46.took revenge in the quarter-finals in 2012. A wonderful game when he
:40:47. > :40:53.beat the defending champion macro 52, his only victory against Wolfie
:40:54. > :41:00.in the last nine years -- 5-2. Bull's-eye for the seventh leg on
:41:01. > :41:14.the bounce. Look at the scores for Martin. 140, 140, 100, 96. Tony is
:41:15. > :41:21.just not there. Nine. Double eight. Take it away. That is way off.
:41:22. > :41:28.Double four. He will come back if he can't hit this one, though.
:41:29. > :41:38.All Tony can do is try to hit some travel is here and apply as much
:41:39. > :41:45.pressure as he can. Uncle Tony hasn't been at his best so far.
:41:46. > :41:52.Double four becomes double two. Seven in a row. He did it against
:41:53. > :41:59.Dave Caron as well, he won the first seven legs, he then lost the next
:42:00. > :42:03.three. Tony has to hope that he can produce some kind of similar revival
:42:04. > :42:09.to keep himself in this match. I don't think it's going to happen. He
:42:10. > :42:19.looks so dejected, looking down. He won't like the 140. He is not
:42:20. > :42:39.playing his game. He is perspiring. 140. It puts him with a slight hope
:42:40. > :43:13.in this leg. And now that has changed. ATF -- ATF -- 80th 180 of
:43:14. > :43:30.the tournament. Lovely to see him, he loves his darts. There he is. 81
:43:31. > :43:40.for Martin. Double 12. And he is one leg away. The number three seed
:43:41. > :43:58.looks on, hoping for inspiration. He needs it, and he needs it right now.
:43:59. > :44:26.Just give up. He's given up. So sad. Blocking the bed with the first
:44:27. > :44:32.dart. Yeah, he is just throwing darts at the board. Not putting any
:44:33. > :44:59.heart into it. No punishment coming in. Just got to feel for the man.
:45:00. > :45:14.Absolutely I do. He has lost nine of the ten sets he has played on the
:45:15. > :45:36.Lakeside stage now. There is a glimmer of hope here. Just a
:45:37. > :45:47.glimmer. 102 left. 62 for the match. 42. That first dart has gotten a
:45:48. > :46:02.single five on quite a few occasions from Tony O'Shea. For the match!
:46:03. > :46:11.Double 16. Double eight. Not quite. Come on Tony, they are shouting out
:46:12. > :46:25.there. Double 16, get it in their! Not again! For the match. Game,
:46:26. > :46:29.shot, and the match! Martin Adams! You have just got to feel for the
:46:30. > :46:43.man they are, Tony O'Shea. It is not his day. I guarantee there will be
:46:44. > :46:48.no more magnanimous loser all week then Tony O'Shea. He is a wonderful
:46:49. > :46:58.gentleman in every sense. He has been well beaten today, Martin Adams
:46:59. > :47:06.through. Walsh and Jim Williams was making his debut seeded scene --
:47:07. > :47:10.16th, but gave Prins was flying after securing a first Lakeside
:47:11. > :47:21.victory in five attempts. Eight fascinating match. Prins is hugely
:47:22. > :47:30.relieved to have one hears preliminarily match yesterday. --
:47:31. > :47:39.won his. Having previously lost all four out of four on the Lakeside
:47:40. > :47:52.stage. Today's task: advance past round one for the first time. I
:47:53. > :48:15.wouldn't relish and that, with the form that Stephen bunting is in,
:48:16. > :48:23.playing against him tomorrow. He has been coming here every year since
:48:24. > :48:32.2010, David Prins. He has lost in round one every time. He finally
:48:33. > :48:45.managed to win a match. Look what it has done to their confidence. He
:48:46. > :49:14.knows what it is all about, Dave Prins, on three occasions... He
:49:15. > :49:26.needed the treble. 36 when Prins comes back. A good start, this. This
:49:27. > :49:41.is for a 13 dart leg, to hold the throw. First leg of the match. That
:49:42. > :49:50.first leg, with the throw, Jim Williams. Let's see what he can do
:49:51. > :50:08.on this throw. It is an advantage, three darts. Jim admits he was
:50:09. > :50:18.nervous before he came on the stage, why wouldn't you be! --? But
:50:19. > :50:41.he does has -- have plenty of support including his girlfriend.
:50:42. > :51:02.It is a family affair, many times, there. There is too. -- two. That is
:51:03. > :51:07.Grace, Jim's sister, holding up a sign. She will approve of those to
:51:08. > :51:23.darts. She will be on her feet. She was on her feet anyway! He is on 165
:51:24. > :51:38.but it is not an out shot. A good start. 85 left. Well, he might have
:51:39. > :51:44.been better advised to go for a double 18 rather than that treble
:51:45. > :51:51.20. But he has left himself on double top if Dave Prins fails to
:51:52. > :52:02.take this out, which he has. The scoring is terrific. He is at the
:52:03. > :52:27.board, he is looking at double top. He has to darts left. Double ten to
:52:28. > :52:37.even the match. All could now -- awkward now, because he has that
:52:38. > :52:45.first dart there. It was difficult. This will settle some nerves. If he
:52:46. > :53:00.can hit the double hand. At the top 455, stay there. - for double five.
:53:01. > :53:33.Here we go. Nearly there. A good start from Prins. There he
:53:34. > :53:52.goes again. He is looking down with his darts. 180! What a start to this
:53:53. > :54:27.match. Look at macro to's average -- Dave Prins's average with his first
:54:28. > :54:43.few darts. Is this number three? Not far away. 137. Jim Williams seems to
:54:44. > :54:57.throw from the other side of his face than what you would imagine,
:54:58. > :55:13.like Bobby George. Treble 16. He will stay on the 16th. Jim,
:55:14. > :55:21.unfortunately, on 281. It is good, but it is probably not good enough.
:55:22. > :55:37.181 is not a finish, but Greens can take this out. -- Prins. Now he
:55:38. > :55:45.needs to get down on a double. Not bad, that is 81. He shouldn't miss
:55:46. > :56:24.now. Well, it is only Stephen Bunting who
:56:25. > :56:29.has managed to buck the trend of only preliminarily round winners
:56:30. > :56:35.winning the first set in the next round. I know that he does feel a
:56:36. > :56:42.lot better about having played and having finally won. He did
:56:43. > :56:48.everything today it exactly how he did it yesterday, Dave Prins. He
:56:49. > :56:54.went for a walk, watched the afternoon sessions from his hotel
:56:55. > :57:00.room, wandered over. Today, he feels a lot better about life than he did
:57:01. > :57:19.yesterday. He has won a match at the World Championship. Well said.
:57:20. > :57:25.Incidentally, if you wear watching yesterday, you would have seen David
:57:26. > :57:32.Prins wearing a new shirt. This one was a present from his son, a
:57:33. > :57:37.Christmas present. He has a different shirt for every round.
:57:38. > :57:52.Sikhs have been packed, and he is hoping to show us them all between
:57:53. > :58:01.now and Sunday evening. It's like what a box where is now going into
:58:02. > :58:08.the ring. -- boxer wears. He won't be happy with this leg, he 41, 59,
:58:09. > :58:28.45, 59. Not even a 60 amongst them. He has left himself on a 162, Prins,
:58:29. > :58:31.which is not an out shot. He can pressure the 81, though, with some
:58:32. > :58:49.more heavy scoring. He has pressured the 81. He will
:58:50. > :59:05.have to take that out here. Single 12. Stay there, double 13. He has
:59:06. > :59:22.mis-counted. We think he has hit double 18. We think that he hasn't
:59:23. > :59:31.won that Blake. There is a query going on. -- that leg. The last
:59:32. > :59:49.score was a no score. Don't worry about it. No harm done.
:59:50. > :00:01.Double 16 coming now. That's the one. I have to say, that is a huge
:00:02. > :00:14.leg for Dave Prins. And full marks to him for counting. And for
:00:15. > :00:18.noticing the error. Quite simply Jim Williams mis-counted. He went for
:00:19. > :00:27.double 18. He should have gone for double 13. For all the error, the
:00:28. > :00:38.referees up there so far have done a brilliant job this week. All of
:00:39. > :00:41.them. Anthony Dunning this -- Anthony Dundess will be feeling a
:00:42. > :00:49.little bit embarrassed at the moment. But everyone makes mistakes.
:00:50. > :00:59.Jim Williams, of course, had mis-counted, when for the double
:01:00. > :01:08.18. Very good shot. He assumed he had one. -- won. You could see it
:01:09. > :01:18.going through Prins' mind. I don't think he was going to let it
:01:19. > :01:58.go. But on with the match. He would have wanted more than 41
:01:59. > :02:06.there. Jim Williams needs to start pushing pressure on Dave Prins. You
:02:07. > :02:14.can tell the Badger is riding the moment of yesterday's win as well as
:02:15. > :02:29.the first set victory here. One dart ahead of Williams. But a chance now
:02:30. > :02:43.for Jim. Two treble 20s. 96. Still treble 20. Double tops for Prins.
:02:44. > :03:04.Amazing what the confidence of a first victory on this stage can do
:03:05. > :03:13.for you. I think difficult to overstate it in
:03:14. > :03:30.Dave's case. Jim Williams beat Christian Kist and
:03:31. > :03:58.Montgomery recently. Seems to be rushing here. Not taking
:03:59. > :04:07.his time. What do you make of his throat, Jim Williams'? -- throw. I
:04:08. > :04:12.think personally he is coming down to quick. You see the rhythm of Dave
:04:13. > :04:22.Prins. Let's have a look. That's good. From a side point of view it
:04:23. > :04:29.looks fantastic. He does seem to come across his face a little bit. I
:04:30. > :04:36.couldn't see that sideways. When you are looking full on, it seems that
:04:37. > :04:43.way. He has left himself 136 here. It is all about the 19s. Four of
:04:44. > :04:45.them would have left the bull's-eye but he has strayed into the seven.
:04:46. > :04:48.Good last dart. This is for the set for a two set
:04:49. > :05:12.lead for Dave Prins. Jim Williams has had seven chances
:05:13. > :05:24.to win a leg. This is his eighth. Double 16. Yes, he's done it.
:05:25. > :05:33.You hope that does settle him down. I hope so. He is a good young
:05:34. > :05:42.player. At the moment Wales is struggling for players.
:05:43. > :05:52.Never used to be the case. Three Welshmen have won the world title.
:05:53. > :05:55.Leighton Rees in 78, Ritchie Burnett in 95, and most recently, Mark
:05:56. > :06:08.Webster in 2008. Marshall James and Ritchie Davis
:06:09. > :06:18.both reached the final. Both of them Welshmen. They must breed them well
:06:19. > :06:25.in Wales. Alan Evans started it off. What a character he was. Twice a
:06:26. > :06:32.semifinalist. Dave Prins, let's think about him, from Hartlepool.
:06:33. > :06:42.140, 100, 140, not bad from nine darts.
:06:43. > :06:57.He has got six darts for the set from 121. He might not double 18 for
:06:58. > :07:14.the set. How about that? 12 dart finish. 2-0 up in sets. 12 darts. A
:07:15. > :07:16.121. A two set lead. Off we go. That is his first bounce out of the
:07:17. > :07:22.match. In fact of the tournament. Hit the barrel. Come on, Jim. Dig
:07:23. > :07:48.deep. I tell you what, he is going to be
:07:49. > :07:53.one not to meet in this championship. The thing is, Dave
:07:54. > :07:59.Prins is scoring heavily with his first nine darts. Yes, Williams has
:08:00. > :08:04.missed eight doubles. But it is Dave who is getting to the doubles first,
:08:05. > :08:18.so he can afford his Mrs. He has had ten of them. Nicknamed the Badger.
:08:19. > :08:25.Yesterday we saw the Badger set building for the first time. I loved
:08:26. > :08:32.it. They are nocturnal creatures, badgers. He likes playing at night
:08:33. > :08:41.under the lights. Mind you, a bit noisy for a badger. I would have
:08:42. > :08:52.thought so. Good job it's not on the menu anyway.
:08:53. > :09:05.Dave and Jane, Jim's mum and dad, hoping that Williams could produce a
:09:06. > :09:24.badger cull tonight. She won a holiday to Bermuda on bull's-eye.
:09:25. > :09:33.She hit the bull's-eye. He has got a good chance after that. Let's see
:09:34. > :09:40.how he goes. 12 for double top. No messing around.
:09:41. > :09:56.1-way traffic. There's the dart that won the leg. He is a completely
:09:57. > :10:02.different player. Having finally won the match, he is relaxing into his
:10:03. > :10:08.darts, and he is enjoying it. He has won a few titles on his way,
:10:09. > :10:11.Hungarian open champion, Irish open champion, Swedish open champion.
:10:12. > :10:29.Like we said, he has form. A slight advantage now for Jim
:10:30. > :10:45.Williams. Jim beat Christian Kist 3-2, former
:10:46. > :11:04.world champion. Just 14 months is the difference
:11:05. > :11:11.from the time he started playing darts and here he is on this stage.
:11:12. > :11:18.He has a lot to learn. He is young enough. I'm sure we will be seeing a
:11:19. > :11:22.lot of him. He did play and then he stopped, he did other things, then
:11:23. > :11:33.he picked it up seriously again ahead of the World Masters in 2012.
:11:34. > :11:38.He did so well there. He beat Christian Kist in his first
:11:39. > :11:44.televised match. He reached the quarter-finals before losing to
:11:45. > :11:52.Stephen bunting 3-1, Stephen bunting who went on to win the world title.
:11:53. > :11:56.He has had a decent year since. -- Stephen Bunting. Four Semi Finals,
:11:57. > :12:06.runner up at the Scottish open. A couple of quarter-finals as well.
:12:07. > :12:14.Hence his seeding at 15. He has a chance to win this leg from this
:12:15. > :12:26.position. He has let's see which way he goes.
:12:27. > :12:36.He has gone for the treble 16, leaves double eight. They will be
:12:37. > :12:50.coming back, so he has read darts for this leg. -- three. Dave will
:12:51. > :13:20.want to keep the pressure on though. Settled down. Come on, Jim! Double
:13:21. > :13:40.five. Treble 20, 88 -- double eight. This is to move one leg away from
:13:41. > :13:48.round two. He is just not missing. There it is. His family members are
:13:49. > :14:14.all there, all cheering him on. One more leg required. Just dropping
:14:15. > :14:36.short. He has got a chance to put some
:14:37. > :14:40.pressure on here, Jim Williams. He needs to put some ammunition
:14:41. > :15:02.together, it was this could be the last leg in the match. If Prins
:15:03. > :15:09.keeps going that way. I hope he doesn't give the game up, because he
:15:10. > :15:29.has time on his side. He is only a youngster. 180! Maximum number
:15:30. > :15:33.three. Leaves Prins only 62 points away from a place in the second
:15:34. > :15:45.round. There is not much pressure being applied by Jim Williams. He
:15:46. > :16:03.can finally play it is best darts on the Lakeside stage. Game, shot, and
:16:04. > :16:17.the match: Dave Prins. Fleeting glimpses of Prins's ability. Glenn
:16:18. > :16:32.Duran 's travelled a long way to make is debut.
:16:33. > :16:42.Your commentary, Jim Proudfoot and Tony Green.
:16:43. > :17:06.Come on Mike, make New Zealand proud.
:17:07. > :17:29.A good start from Durrant. His ranking is up to 11. The number can
:17:30. > :17:34.see it here. There is nothing that can really set you up for the first
:17:35. > :17:39.match on the Lakeside stage. You don't know how you feel and till you
:17:40. > :17:47.actually out there flowing -- throwing the darts. A solid start
:17:48. > :18:02.from Glen Durrant. Yes it is all on the day. You have got people who are
:18:03. > :18:16.more consistent than others. That is consistent. 121. He has put himself
:18:17. > :18:24.in a good position to take this first leg, against the darts, Glen
:18:25. > :18:33.Durrant. He certainly isn't lacking for support. He has very vociferous
:18:34. > :18:42.support. Even before the doors were opened today, the Glen Durrant fans
:18:43. > :19:03.were making their presence known. Treble 20. He went for 16, so that
:19:04. > :19:17.is time. -- fine. I think he has lost it a bit. Let's see what he
:19:18. > :19:24.wants to go for. Mike Day is not in a position to be able to capitalise
:19:25. > :19:33.on that. A slowish start in his match against Sam Head. He lost the
:19:34. > :19:48.first two legs. Glen Durrant with a chance for double 16 here.
:19:49. > :20:31.The proud son of Middlesbrough gets himself ahead. He has plenty of
:20:32. > :20:39.support here. You would never guess that he was from Middlesbrough,
:20:40. > :20:45.would you? He's got a badge and the colours of the area. There are so
:20:46. > :20:50.many good darts players from that area of the world. Paul Jennings and
:20:51. > :21:00.Tony Eccles are from just up the road. They are all based within a
:21:01. > :21:19.stone 's throw of each other. A good cover shot. He is doing well. He
:21:20. > :21:34.does not have the consistency of Durrant or the high powering school.
:21:35. > :21:58.-- score. 161 is the finish for Durrant. There is Susan, his wife.
:21:59. > :22:24.Yes. I'm lucky. -- I'm lucky. -- unlucky.
:22:25. > :22:45.13 will leave tops here. A double top. Leaving the chance for Mike to
:22:46. > :22:59.break back. One more crack at it. He made it difficult for himself bare.
:23:00. > :23:15.-- there. Double five. Stay there, Mike. That is the best double on the
:23:16. > :23:38.board, double 16. 88. -- double eight. One and double 24 Glen
:23:39. > :23:44.Durrant. That is six darts that he has missed for this leg. Mike has
:23:45. > :23:46.missed 62 but he does not miss a number seven. Mike Day takes the
:23:47. > :24:30.lead against the darts. -- six too. His daughter is in the background at
:24:31. > :24:49.that table, and so is his wife. It is Susan.
:24:50. > :25:00.Michael won his first ranking title last year. It saw him qualify for
:25:01. > :25:03.the Lakeside. He is the fourth New Zealander to play in the
:25:04. > :25:17.championship and the first in the last ten years. Peter Hunt was the
:25:18. > :25:48.most recent. That was a long time ago, Peter Hunt. For Mike to get his
:25:49. > :26:07.nose in front for the first time. Two more mixed darts and doubles. --
:26:08. > :26:20.missed. 18. Leaves double seven. Double ten again. Now a double five.
:26:21. > :26:33.That finish is letting both men down at this point. They both been
:26:34. > :27:10.betrayed. Double 24 Glenn. -- for Glen. Come on Mike, nobody wants
:27:11. > :27:18.this one, you take it. Yes! Mike averaged 77 in the match earlier.
:27:19. > :27:24.There would have to be a significant improvement if he wants to win here
:27:25. > :27:31.against Glen Durrant. Understandably, he has taken a bit
:27:32. > :27:38.of a battering, because he has missed ten darts at doubles. I am
:27:39. > :27:50.sure he is going to wake up and find out where he is. That is Wendy Day.
:27:51. > :28:02.That is Mike ex-wife. -- Mike's wife. I asked him whether having had
:28:03. > :28:07.that first match it made the prospect of a second match any
:28:08. > :28:13.easier, he looked at me, he grinned, and he said it makes it worse. He
:28:14. > :28:18.knows what to expect. His nerves are more frayed now, he's a lot more
:28:19. > :28:24.nervous for this one as opposed to how he was for the match against Sam
:28:25. > :28:25.Head. With so much travel he wouldn't know whether it was night
:28:26. > :28:46.or day, would he? Tables I there would have left him a
:28:47. > :28:58.finished -- a bull's-eye there. -- a finish.
:28:59. > :29:02.An excellent 140 from M. Glenn's finishing has let him down so far.
:29:03. > :29:18.Mike has pressurised this shot. The first set goes to a deciding
:29:19. > :29:39.fifth leg. I thought I saw holes come in there.
:29:40. > :29:52.Did you see that? This is better from Glenn. Second 140 of the match
:29:53. > :29:54.so far. Durrant now warming up. Mike has got to give everything he has
:29:55. > :30:30.got. He is keeping there as well. A good
:30:31. > :30:47.marker, just below. There it is. He will get another one now.
:30:48. > :31:07.Mike on 254. He has a little bit of time.
:31:08. > :31:20.Leaves himself shanghaied 20s. -- Shanghai.
:31:21. > :31:35.Might get six darts at this if he needs it. Good start. That's the
:31:36. > :31:41.hard bit done. Taken him just a little bit of time to find his
:31:42. > :31:54.rhythm, but Glen Juan is off and running -- Glen Durrant.
:31:55. > :32:10.OK, the match is warming up certainly for Durrant. Glen Durrant
:32:11. > :32:15.leads by one set. And with the advantage in this set. He finished
:32:16. > :32:21.that last set really well having had that problem around the doubles in
:32:22. > :32:28.the second and third legs. Nine darts in those two legs at doubles.
:32:29. > :32:33.Didn't hit a single double and lost both legs. The fourth and fifth legs
:32:34. > :32:40.of the fourth set. One dark and double top was all it took each
:32:41. > :32:41.time. -- dart. This could be the first 180. Would have been his first
:32:42. > :32:53.of the tournament. Interesting is that he is limping
:32:54. > :32:59.back a bit. This could be a 180. Plenty of room.
:33:00. > :33:27.140 apiece. Plenty more to come. Don't we all.
:33:28. > :33:47.Still a good chance for Mike. 81. 180 left.
:33:48. > :34:00.Badree dresses the balance in this leg Glen's way. -- that redresses.
:34:01. > :34:12.118 for the man from Teeside. Not quite. Just let him down this
:34:13. > :34:23.time. Mike on Shanghai 20s. Treble ten would leave him double
:34:24. > :34:41.16. Bouquets, double ten. -- OK. Double
:34:42. > :34:49.five. Mike is coming back for a shot at 47. 15, double 16. He's got it as
:34:50. > :35:09.well. Of that was against the darts at the
:35:10. > :35:15.start of this second set. He lost the first set when he had the darts.
:35:16. > :35:26.You don't have to be a lip reader to see what Mike's saying.
:35:27. > :35:41.There is something in the arena that's older than Mike.
:35:42. > :35:52.A great achievement, qualifying for your first lakeside at 58. --
:35:53. > :35:55.Lakeside. Still waiting for the first maximum on the Lakeside stage.
:35:56. > :36:11.You sense it is coming. A good marker. Right in there. Off
:36:12. > :36:21.the barrels and he will get another treble. Struggling to hold the macro
:36:22. > :36:28.darts at the moment. Four of the six legs so far have gone against the
:36:29. > :36:37.darts. He is a big man. A big finish. Treble 17.
:36:38. > :36:42.Let's see if he will go for it, or is he going to go for something
:36:43. > :36:47.else? P has left 32. Double 16 And He Has
:36:48. > :37:18.Got Three Darts For It. There it is. Another one against the darts. Glen
:37:19. > :37:25.Durrant survives that break of throw in the first leg of this second
:37:26. > :37:26.set. All level again, although it is an inauspicious start to the next
:37:27. > :37:36.leg. This is his first time here. He came
:37:37. > :37:42.within one match of qualifying a couple of years ago. He lost the
:37:43. > :37:45.final round of qualifiers to Alan Norris. Now he wants to be one of
:37:46. > :37:57.nine men to have won this championship at the first attempt. A
:37:58. > :38:01.great stance. Good balance. And a lot of fluency in the arm. Let's
:38:02. > :38:07.have a look at different situations here with Mike. He jiggles about.
:38:08. > :38:19.Watch him move around now. . Is this the 180? Is this the first
:38:20. > :38:50.maximum? Not to be. He has struggled to hold so far, but
:38:51. > :39:13.he is taking control of this leg. 83 for Glen. Treble 17 is his first
:39:14. > :39:22.target. A shade away. Treble 19 now. Single 18 four double top. -- for.
:39:23. > :39:28.Might a way back. Almost 200 points adrift. -- Mike a way back.
:39:29. > :39:56.He needs one more for the second set with that throw.
:39:57. > :40:08.A good way for the referees to show their skills here. They do a
:40:09. > :40:32.tremendous job. Glen's stance and that back foot
:40:33. > :40:39.will hardly move as he releases. Just a wee twitch, nothing more than
:40:40. > :40:46.that. Contrast that with Mike, who at times will lift that back foot
:40:47. > :40:52.right up into the air. If he had a walking stick he would look like
:40:53. > :41:11.Charlie Chaplin. If you take a proper look.
:41:12. > :41:26.This is good. Come on, Mike. Look at that! Could have hit them on a
:41:27. > :41:41.pinhead. His first, not just of the match, but of the tournament.
:41:42. > :41:48.Glen has mis-counted, he has left himself on a bogey number. You can't
:41:49. > :42:26.finish on 169. He knows it now. OK, come on, Mike. Double top.
:42:27. > :42:33.Second set, all level. 2-2. Glen Durrant has only held twice. In for
:42:34. > :42:44.a camps. But he has had the darts so far. This is the difference between
:42:45. > :43:10.a Durrant and leading to kneel -- Durrant leading 2-0, and it being
:43:11. > :43:23.1-1. This is for the set. Both players have the opportunity. It
:43:24. > :43:44.looks as though it is going Glen Durrant's wave. -- way. 178 left for
:43:45. > :43:56.Durrant. Six darts from here to take a 2-0 lead. 18 will leave double
:43:57. > :44:13.top. What a good leg. He is on a 13. . -- darter. Double top for
:44:14. > :44:27.Durrant, for 2-0. No problem at all! Found his feet now. Wendy knows that
:44:28. > :44:52.Mike is struggling to sets down. -- two. 2-0 down it now, in sets.
:44:53. > :45:07.Durrant is really springing to life. A gentle grip there, we saw. Power
:45:08. > :45:51.scoring. It is going Durrant's wave. He is almost 20 points ahead. --
:45:52. > :46:09.way. Keeps leaving it to wide. It is just slipping slightly. There we go.
:46:10. > :46:44.Just one more. Straight through. There is your result! 78 left. 98.
:46:45. > :46:55.He won't feel it up. -- feel. He can't believe what he has done. Just
:46:56. > :47:08.the wrong time to hit that treble. He wants double top, for another
:47:09. > :47:16.leg. Have another try. At least he did not make the same mistake.
:47:17. > :47:34.Double top. It could be a costly error. Double ten. Now a double 54
:47:35. > :48:12.Durrant. -- five for. Let's see if he can take it. He can! Still a lot
:48:13. > :48:38.to do though. He has kept going, Mike. It looks as though he is
:48:39. > :48:43.enjoying himself, to be honest. That is probably the case. Relish the
:48:44. > :48:50.whole experience. He was sitting in the players bar before this match.
:48:51. > :48:55.He was sitting in contemplation, which needless to say, I disturbed.
:48:56. > :49:03.He was looking at photos of the past players. It is humbling to be here.
:49:04. > :49:25.So many greats have played on this stage. This is another leg that
:49:26. > :49:56.Durrant has taken a real stranglehold of. It won't be a
:49:57. > :50:24.costly error, that one. Double 16. 88. That is a nice shot.
:50:25. > :50:41.Friend is absolutely delighted. He looks like he has just come out off
:50:42. > :51:08.the potting shed. -- Fred. This is good. Yes! 180! He is getting a bit
:51:09. > :51:22.of a cheer off. 101 80. -- 100 and 180.
:51:23. > :51:57.As the match has gone on he has gotten better. Mike Day is on 91.
:51:58. > :52:08.Durrant on 335. Treble 17, treble 14, single 20, don't hit me treble.
:52:09. > :52:24.-- the. Double top when he comes back. It is not a finish, Durrant.
:52:25. > :52:37.Double top for Day. Another crucial leg for him. One leg away now from
:52:38. > :52:57.getting a set on the board. He is fighting valiantly. That is what we
:52:58. > :53:09.are asking. He needs one more leg and he has got a mother set. --
:53:10. > :53:20.another. It is finishing has improved over the last eight legs.
:53:21. > :53:28.-- he is. He has thrown a six darts at doubles and scored four of them.
:53:29. > :53:36.He said he was going to have to improve that, but he hasn't. His
:53:37. > :53:45.average in this game is identical. Durrant is up there in the 80s. He
:53:46. > :53:51.will have to get a video to take back with him, won't he, on this
:53:52. > :54:15.one? He will know it word for word by the time he lands back in
:54:16. > :54:35.Auckland. 70 left four Glenn. Double 18. 20. Now, double 16. Yes!
:54:36. > :54:52.This is one he has to win to stay in the match. Passionate support for
:54:53. > :55:05.Durrant, but a lot of support as well for Day. Willing him on. A good
:55:06. > :55:36.recovery, that last start frothing Glenn. -- from. It is OK. Both
:55:37. > :55:42.previous sets have gone to deciding legs as well. There will be plenty
:55:43. > :55:48.of positives to take out of this. It might be defeat but it won't be all
:55:49. > :56:09.black for the Iraq black. Far from it. -- All Black. 180! You can see
:56:10. > :56:27.all of Durrant's family there. His dad, everyone. He is so close now.
:56:28. > :56:50.81 left. For -- four treble 20s. Let's see what happens. This is it.
:56:51. > :57:03.He is on his Lakeside debut for a place in the second round. To darts
:57:04. > :57:31.at it. -- two and neither of them went in. Mike Day isn't happy. A
:57:32. > :57:47.sleep there. Every one of the Durrants are there. There his family
:57:48. > :58:03.are, doing PG. Mike Day. What a gentleman. It wasn't his night. But
:58:04. > :58:10.Glen Durrant has beaten him. That rubs up your highlights from
:58:11. > :58:17.Lakeside. Join in them later on this afternoon with more highlights. This
:58:18. > :58:21.year's World Championship is warming up beautifully. Good night.
