:01:28. > :01:34.yeah # Good evening everyone, on a day
:01:34. > :01:38.of knockout sport, the outdoor drama of the FA Cup has been
:01:38. > :01:41.matched indoord, here in Frimley Green at the Lakeside and day one
:01:41. > :01:47.of the BDO World Championships. Tonight's highlights on the way,
:01:47. > :01:54.including the Silverback, last year's beaten finalist, Tony O'Shea,
:01:54. > :01:59.against John Boy Walton. What a start it was to this year's
:01:59. > :02:05.tourning. Christian Kist was sent packing in the first very round by
:02:05. > :02:10.the brilliant Robbie Green. Hard to pick out the best set. The third
:02:10. > :02:14.was vital. Green scoring big. From there he was out of sight. He ran
:02:14. > :02:24.away with the fourth. With double top the lipstick was left blushing,
:02:24. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:34.the fifth seed was through. He will face Scott Mitchell or Mark Barilli.
:02:34. > :02:38.Bobby George watched his son make his Lakeside debut. It ended up two
:02:38. > :02:48.sets all, two legs all. The winner needed to open up a gap of two
:02:48. > :02:53.needed to open up a gap of two clear legs, at this point, unless,
:02:53. > :03:03.it goes to five a piece. The 11th leg of this set will become sudden
:03:03. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:18.death. I think Richie has the advantage on this tie-breaker. Very
:03:18. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:38.all. REFEREE: 26. COMMENTATOR: Only 62,
:03:38. > :03:48.with his first six darts, for Prins. Another bounce out of the treble 20.
:03:48. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:10.Yeah. Look at that one. Off the put in a leg like this. But, like I
:04:10. > :04:10.
:04:10. > :04:52.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:04:52. > :05:02.said, they seem to be enjoying That one only just stayed on the
:05:02. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:14.board. Good finish this. Treble 20. Only 40 scored. He wants double-top
:05:14. > :05:25.
:05:25. > :05:35.tops for the match, in the last leg. He's back again with three, to take
:05:35. > :05:39.
:05:39. > :05:49.a 3-2 lead. Double 10 now. Double 10 again. REFEREE: 20. COMMENTATOR:
:05:49. > :05:49.
:05:49. > :05:59.Just a bounce off the second. OK 107 though. 57. 18. Double 16. YES!
:05:59. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:13.What a finish. Look at Marie, look at his fiancee. It's not all over.
:06:13. > :06:13.
:06:13. > :06:19.They think he's won. Ah, dear. REFEREE: Game on. COMMENTATOR:
:06:19. > :06:23.Realisation has dawned for Marie and Kim. He needs to win by two
:06:24. > :06:31.legs. Like celebrating a goal, only to turn round and see the off-side
:06:31. > :06:40.flag was up. They thought it was all over. It could be now. It's a
:06:40. > :06:50.good start. Yes. It meant a lot. Bottom line, is that Richie just
:06:50. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:59.has to hold. REFEREE: 121. COMMENTATOR: Yes. He would have
:06:59. > :07:06.turned right round to the crowd. Marie is keeping calm. OK. Let's
:07:07. > :07:16.concentrate now on Prins. Look at this. REFEREE: 140. He isn't giving
:07:17. > :07:22.
:07:22. > :07:29.in either. He's made the match what that Richie has had darts in his
:07:29. > :07:35.hand knowing that he has to check out to win the match. Treble 20 is
:07:35. > :07:42.in, treble 17, his next target. He has missed that. He knows he will
:07:42. > :07:52.be back. Double 12 to win the game, when he's back in a moment. Doesn't
:07:52. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :08:00.mean a thing. Does not mean a thing. He knows. Get the make-up done. He
:08:01. > :08:08.was in the shot before the dart went in. There it is. His son has
:08:08. > :08:13.gone through. Well done, Richie. Prins held it altogether. Give him
:08:13. > :08:15.fairness in the match. It was a hard match for him. The youngster
:08:15. > :08:19.hard match for him. The youngster prevails. Barely pausing for breath
:08:19. > :08:24.after that drama. You took it to the wire, but you did what you had
:08:24. > :08:29.to do, you won the match? I... I played what I had to play. I hit
:08:29. > :08:33.the shots when I had to hit them. It's a good game, Dave played well.
:08:34. > :08:38.I missed a few chances early on. At the end of the day, darts is darts.
:08:38. > :08:42.I hit the shots when I had to hit the shots. It was scrappy. When it
:08:42. > :08:45.counted, I did it. I'm happy with that. It was all about you out
:08:45. > :08:49.there, as it should have been. Did you feel any weight of expectation
:08:50. > :08:55.or pressure because of your dad? tell you the truth, I didn't when I
:08:55. > :09:03.went on. I ain't going to lie. The first set I did. The first set went
:09:03. > :09:08.2-26789 I missed my chance. I thought, "I got here, let's play
:09:08. > :09:14.darts." I did and I relaxed. I wasn't playing great to start with.
:09:14. > :09:16.The sets I had to win I won them on good legs. That was the difference.
:09:16. > :09:23.When he was at the board in the commanding position there must have
:09:23. > :09:28.been a number of times where you thought, "this match is over and
:09:28. > :09:33.I've lost?" I never give up. If I play my darts I win. If you are
:09:33. > :09:36.five sets down can you always win. I thought win my legs. Break him
:09:37. > :09:40.once and take the set and I'm in with a chance. That is what I did.
:09:41. > :09:45.How much better than that will you have to be to get through the
:09:45. > :09:51.second round? Well, as long as I win I don't have to get much better.
:09:51. > :09:56.A win is a win, isn't it? I didn't play how I play. I showed how I can
:09:56. > :09:59.play in bits and starts. I'm more comfortable with that. There is a
:09:59. > :10:04.lot of pressure. I didn't try to think that. I didn't think it would
:10:04. > :10:08.affect me. It did a little bit. I won't lie. I feel more comfortable
:10:08. > :10:12.now. If I play my darts, I will be all right. That is all I have to
:10:12. > :10:16.say really. Listen, it is all about you. Many congratulations. Your
:10:16. > :10:23.army of fan also grow for that second round match? Hopefully.
:10:23. > :10:26.Hopefully, my mum. Well, well done Richie. A quick update on Bobby is

:10:29. > :10:33.He will have to recover in time for tomorrow's live show on the BBC. He

:15:08. > :15:22.
:15:23. > :15:31.third set. He has it for double top and a 105. Oh, unlucky. Who is
:15:31. > :15:41.going to be smiling here? Good marker. Yes. Tony O'Shea moves

:22:20. > :22:24.he has held for seven, so John Boy has to break in for the first time

:22:48. > :22:58.This is a good shot. And he knows up against each other. -- what a

:23:26. > :23:31.ready for the off. Double 16. set and the match, Tony O'Shea.
:23:31. > :23:37.Great match. They are great friends on the Rocky and away from the oche,
:23:37. > :23:42.but Tony O'Shea, easy going to be a winner this year and not a runner-
:23:42. > :23:44.up? -- is he. up? -- is he.
:23:44. > :23:49.Two finals fully you have been coming here for 12 years, is its
:23:49. > :23:54.time to drop this nearly man? You think this might be the year
:23:54. > :23:57.finally go all the way. I have been thinking that for 12 years but I
:23:57. > :24:01.just keep coming back and doing the same thing. I just wanted to the
:24:01. > :24:06.best I can and I have tried that every time I have been here. I have
:24:06. > :24:11.tried to get to every final and win everyone but I do enjoy it here, I
:24:11. > :24:17.have the crack and a bit of a laugh along the way. I won't change much.
:24:17. > :24:20.On paper, that was quite a tricky match against John Boy, someone
:24:20. > :24:25.will argue his finer days are behind him but it brings so much
:24:25. > :24:29.experience, you can never take a win like that for granted. In their
:24:30. > :24:33.3-0 doesn't do him justice, he scored fantastically in the first
:24:33. > :24:36.two sets and he gave me a couple of chances and I took them, which is
:24:36. > :24:41.what you have to do at this level. I said that in the pre-match
:24:41. > :24:46.interview, John's scoring has never been bad, it is about doubles and
:24:46. > :24:49.that turned out to be exactly what happened. How much more is there in
:24:49. > :24:54.the tank when we have quality for new and how much more do you think
:24:54. > :24:59.you will have to fridges in the next round -- in the way of
:24:59. > :25:05.quality? Well, he is a pal, I have known him since 1978, on the
:25:05. > :25:09.tournament, and it is always hard to play her friend and it was a
:25:09. > :25:13.first-round game, they are always tough, so that is said to wear.
:25:13. > :25:18.Hyphal could enough at times there is no there is plenty more in the
:25:19. > :25:23.10th -- so that is out that way. I felt good enough at times to know
:25:23. > :25:26.there is plenty more in the tank, so I got there. Well done.
:25:26. > :25:31.For Silverback having to beat a path all the way to the trophy that

:25:35. > :25:40.starting at 5:45pm. We are also live with more first-round action
:25:40. > :25:43.tomorrow. As for tonight, entered Darryl Fitton, he is genuinely a
:25:43. > :25:47.lovely bloke and the great character and I know all sports
:25:47. > :25:52.people bemoan their luck but he has not had it easy. Six times he has
:25:52. > :26:01.been knocked out as eventual finalists, so he is hoping for an
:26:01. > :26:11.easier ride. His opponent is the young Dutchman Benito van de Pas.

:33:16. > :33:22.
:33:22. > :33:32.last leg, Benito. With the throw, he's hit five trebles out of six.
:33:32. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :33:55.the last one. Good cover shot. He is back. He will be back. I've

:35:24. > :35:24.
:35:24. > :35:29.for the match. If Darryl were to win this leg, we would go into a

:35:46. > :35:55.
:35:55. > :36:05.break. These young Dutch lads, you churns them out. There have been a

:36:27. > :36:32.Frimley Green. Good. Very good. Look at that. Look at the pace in

:37:07. > :37:15.
:37:15. > :37:22.see. Treble 20. No. Goes his own way. Treble 20 now. Benito on 100.
:37:22. > :37:32.Darryl could do with hitting 76 to stay alive. Big three darts. 16 his

:39:44. > :39:54.either. 16, for double top again! Would have been a 12-darter. Still

:41:33. > :41:43.Benito, he won't give in. Not until Yes. Still plenty of room, Darryl.
:41:43. > :41:48.And, you've done it! REFEREE: 180. Look at them in here. The man who
:41:48. > :41:52.has never really got through and the titles he should have had. He's
:41:52. > :42:02.now, with every chance of getting through on a match he could quite
:42:02. > :42:17.
:42:17. > :42:25.He hasn't really done that with that 99. Six darts, 64, to make it
:42:25. > :42:35.through to the second round for the first time in four years. 16, he
:42:35. > :42:36.
:42:36. > :42:42.will go for here. He went for it as well. He did go for 16. Yeah. He
:42:42. > :42:48.missed a chance there with a couple of darts at the finish. He knows it
:42:48. > :42:52.as well. OK. We can do it now, Darryl. Double 16, stare it out.
:42:52. > :43:02.Cool as a cucumber. Here we go. Three darts to do it. Does he need
:43:02. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:16.one? He needs it now. Just waiting to bounce is Benito. Oh, dear.
:43:16. > :43:26.
