Day 5 Darts: World Championships - Highlights

# If the boys are single # If the boys all shout for

tomorrow # I'm going underground

# If the brass band's playing # They will start to pound

Hello, a cold and pretty grey start in prospect for Thursday, a lot of

mist and fog to be found across central and northern areas of the

UK, further south plenty of cloud. That cloud will increasingly bring

rainfall into the south west of England by the afternoon. Where

mist and fog lingers as it may across the Midlands, temperatures

could struggle to get above two or three. Hopefully we will see a few

brighter intervals once the first lifts up into low cloud, hopefully

it will be in a few places thin and break. Not expecting brightness for

the south west of England. 5-10mms of rain possible. It will also mean

strengthening winds later in the day for the south west of England.

Northern Ireland, rather grey throughout, misty and murky,

increasing cloud come the afternoon and rain by the evening. In

Scotland some of the best of the UK sunshine in the west. In the east

more in the way of cloud, with drizzley outbreaks of rain. Friday

doesn't look too bright either. I don't think it will get off to such

a chilly start. We will, in general, have more cloud in the UK Thursday

into Friday, we could be spared the widespread frost, Friday looks grey.

Curtesy of a couple of weather fronts, fizzling out across the UK,

leaving us with a legacy of cloud, and drizzley rain, also chilly

conditions, top temperature for Friday, just around the four or

. Good evening welcome, welcome to the 2013, BDO World Championships

from the Lakeside at Frimley Green. The last four second round matches

to bring you highlights of tonight. We will begin with Richie George

who is taking on Jimmy Hendriks. Very excited. Nerves are jangling.

Bobby, you have to come up at some time from under-the-table. Have you

to watch. It I know you're nervous. You will be all right. Bring it in.

Let's hug it out. Let's get to the oche. I'm quite fast. Jimmy is

quite fast. If you tkpwhet your rhythm it could be interesting. It

could be a fast game. -- get. time you can see I couldn't believe.

I was standing like. This I was like, "what have I done now"

knocking the three time World Champion. I felt really good. I

love playing the game and being on stage in front of the crowd. I was

happy getting here. Happy to be seeded in the tournament. I wasn't

so much pressured to win, in my eyes, I didn't care whether I did

win, or lose. To win is a big relief to get it off your back.

Hopefully, I can feel more comfortable. If you beat, I think

you always get lots of attention from people who didn't expect you

to win. I've -- I'm not trying to be him, I'm trying to be myself and

get my own character out of. It I like to enjoy myself and have a

laugh. That might be a down side because I can't always be serious.

He's Bobby's son. That gives me loads of pressure, I think. It's a

good thing for Richie to look lack. He is a good player. The same with

all the Dutch, they look at the game professionally. You can't come

here just having a laugh and joke about. It if you are here to win.

Everyone is warmed up, starting to enjoy it. Hopefully it will be a

good atmosphere. Hopefully, we can good atmosphere. Hopefully, we can

give them what they want. Richie missed a handful of doubles to take

a 3-1 lead. We join it in the deciding leg of the fifth.

COMMENTATOR: Another crucial leg coming up. We had a deciding leg in

the fourth set, were both players had set darts. We have a deciding

leg in the fifth now as well. It deciding leg that we had in the

fourth set, the scoring wasn't too hot. Perhaps, the players guilty of

that this time round as well, with such palpable tension. We love it,

first time this week, he has nailed Slow start then for Richie. Great

second set. Jimmy's form that was on the wane. Richie won sets one,

double 10 with ease there. He will wonder why he couldn't do it in the

previous leg, when he had three cracks at. It -- it. Richie, if he

can break here, will be a leg away. It snuck from the corner there that

four darts for a 2-1 lead. He missed them. Jimmy's nerve did not

at double. That is a lot of missed doubles. That is something to take

the route to the quarter-finals if he makes it. He knows there is room

for improvement. It has been a big first again. Must win this leg or

it will be on to a deciding set. Double 19. Another missed double.

He has missed his last seven at double 16 in this match. Double top.

Biggest dart of the match so far. Missed it. Two eights for Richie to

level the set. Applause from George corner! He needs one more leg. It

is nearly over, Mum! Or is it? just cannot look. He has to hold

his throw. To take us to the deciding set. The neutrals will

feel he has merited it. Brilliant. To produce those darts at this

in touch. This is tremendous from Jimmy Hendriks as well. He can do

this. Going for treble 19. And a bullseye for 164! The crowd trooped

of the match. Two darts at double top for the quarter finals. They

have produced a royal dust-up! He moves closer took a potential

moves closer took a potential Coronation. Richie George is in the

quarter-finals. I sensed a bit of frustration? I'm happy that I have

one. What annoyed me, I was losing legs when I was scoring well. Same

as the first game. When I had to hit them I hit my doubles. My

doubles were atrocious tonight. But I'm happy that I have one. I'm over

the moon. How much we are able to feed off the crowd? They were

chanting for you at the end. You seemed to harness that energy

rather than be intimidated. I used it but during the game I did not

hear it, I did not think about it. But at the end it was nice and

gives you that boost of confidence. I was happy to get through, that is

all I can say. Your first year at the Lakeside and into the quarter-

finals. I sensed you believe there is more quality to come. My scoring

is there. The finishing was there for three or four sets on the trot

and then it just went pear-shaped. I was missing doubles. I played it

leg by a leg. I had a lot of help. I thought as long as I score and

have got a shot, I can take it when I have to. Jimmy played well and

put me under pressure. He gave me a lot of chances. Well done it and we

will see you for the quarter finals. Great news for the George family.

Young rigid George is through to the quarter-finals. -- Richie

George. Remove one tour next second round game. -- we move on to.

This one went all the way, three has been great to watch. We still

do not know which way it will go in the end. This for a two leg lead.

He cannot now finish. That is Jan's dad. Gurning nervously. Bullseye

for a two leg lead in the deciding 2-love at the moment to Jan. But

Jan finding the treble 19. Twice. Very nice switch. His dad waiting

to see his son complete the task. Now the moment of truth! Double 16

coming in for Garry. Oh, is it all over? We did not want it to end!

You are still there, Garry. Yes! What a match! Everything is

happening! Dekker now having to play on, to start another leg,

having missed darts for the match. Does not help. That is wayward. So

Into it twice. That changes things! That really does change things.

for bull. He wants now double 16. The match is still alive. REFEREE:

We now move into the tie-break. Should the scores reach five legs

all, we will play sudden death. Jan to throw first. Fifth leg. Came on.

COMMENTATOR: Here we go then. You must win by two clear legs, as we

heard our referee explaining, until five all, then they will bully up

then it's sudden death. If ever a match deserved to go all the way,

this one is. We still have no idea who is going to take the momentum

and who is going to cross the finish line with it. Jan Dekker

twice was looking at a double for the match. Is it the old campaigner,

and downs. Has to be won by two clear legs. Oh, look at this.

Leaves 100, after 12 darts. Dekker on 188. He wants another treble

here. Just wanted to check whether it was in the 20 or the 5. He has

been told. He's going down. Good dart. Needed the treble. OK.

went for two doubles there, Garry Thompson. 19 for double 16. Two 16s.

He has only missed it once all tournament. Needs it now. He's

found it. He is a leg away again. Advantage to Garry. Rushing his

darts. There's the double. His dad was pleased, wasn't he? Straight up

out of his chair. This is looking good as well. 140 from Garry. 177

from Jan Dekker. That has pressurised Garry Thompson. That

really has. This could be the moment of the match. The 177 may

have been key. Surely it is coming down. Maybe go for 18s. He is

staying on the 17s. Keep it is even on 268. 26 the throw. He has nicked

the throw. This could be the last leg of the match, remember. Oh...

Yes, with that shot. Nice pickoff. Still no finish. Yes, that's good.

That is good. 132. Needed both of those darts to find the treble

otherwise he wouldn't have been on an out shot. Yes, good cover. 25

this shot, or the bull. Treble 19 would have left the bull. A

fraction away, treble three. It's all on Dekker. Everything, 94.

Treble 18 or the bull. 19. Now, it's the bull. It's the match. And,

it is the match! What a way to finish. Look at his family. Look at

his son. Look at his girl. Absolutely brilliant. Let's have it

right. Two men took it to make a match like that. Well done Jan,

unlucky to Tommo. Jan Dekker through to the quarter-finals.

Unlucky Garry Thompson. As we move on now to Jason Cullen. He is

taking on Paul Jennings who reached the quarter-finals last year. They

call him Jenno. He raced out to three set lead here. Jason Cullen

trying to pick up any crumb of comfort to come back. He would need

four sets in a row. We join it at two leg as piece. If Jenna wins

this leg he wins the match. COMMENTATOR: Paul is throwing first.

He's had a dart for a place in the quarter-finals. That can do funny

36 years to represent the Republic of Ireland in the BDO World

Championships. None of them have knead through to the quarter-finals.

Unless we see one of the comebacks in recent times, we will still be

able to say that in a few minute's time. Nevertheless, having lost

nine legs in a row, he has won the he needs the treble. No, Jennings

will be back. 86 points away now, from a place in the quarter-finals

for the second year running. It can needs them. A double 16, for the

match, Paul Jennings. Yes, there it is. There it is. There is the

celebration. His scoring was clinical. His finishing at times

was masterful. Minimum of fuss. Minimum of stress. Jenno goes

through. Bobby George has been saying it from the beginning, Paul

Jennings has the potential to go further than the quarter-final he

managed last year. He has at least matched. It the Ireland qualifier

has tried for years to get here. The second round a huge achievement

for him. We now move on to Scott Waites. Martined a ams out, Stephen

Bunting out. Christian Kist is out. People are saying, people are

saying, that Scotty to Hotty is the favourite. He was taking on Geert

de Vos and his very, very special friends. You can go crazy now!

it in! Well, they had hope, anyway, after three sets. A little glimmer

of it, Geert de Vos was hanging in. It was competitive. Waites has a

two sets lead. It's two all in the throwing, Geert de Vos deserves to

go in at 12-2. I think that would be only fair. He has really been

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 104 seconds

Yes, he has that big one. It can be done. Business end of a massive leg.

148 the target for Scott Waites. Great start. Another one, for

double 14 and a 148 for the six. Great. The bookies think he is the

man that everyone has to beat. A massive set of darts from Waites,

just when he needed them most. Plenty of work for Geert de Vos to

do trailing 3-1, as we start the fifth set. Scotty has been missing

a lot of finishes though during the match. All he requires is one set

together, has Geert. I think he's got the talent. Long time since we

unfortunate. Every chance now of Scotty forcing... Not having to

apply any significant pressure. With a leg of victory here.

Bullseye the target. And hit brilliantly by Scott Waites! Come

on, in danger now. Scotty needs one leg for victory. Already lost his

advantage. That has blocked the bed. There is Jackie who will be very
