after the 6th set came at the wrong time for him. The momentum he had

nowhere. No pressure at all on this double 16. There is the marker. And

there it is. And it is a leg against the darts. But in the 5th

set and the 7th, he won the first George since that second break,

going into that a 3-1 down. Look at than 70 % and he still won. In the

others, he was up in the mid- 90s, which you would expect. And having

lost the first leg of this set, he is in a bit of trouble in the

second as well. Yes, he is in danger of going 2-0 down in this

set. Double four would do it for needed. George Ferguson is back for

double four, -- Richie George is back for double four, to be in with

a chance. He had time for four doubles. He is one leg away from

Richie George enemy needed one of the last two sets but he did not

come close to winning a leg. We are down to a decider. Look at this.

Look at this! Where did that come from? He could not buy a treble.

Not in that last set. He has started in the grand manner and he

is straight back. And again. Six out of six. Not far away. It would

not be a bad time to throw a 10 Jan Dekker's scoring has been

pretty decent. Treble 20, and then, bull's eye. Twice. That is twice he

has gone for the 18 and hit four. And suddenly, Jan Dekker... He is

the favourite to win this leg. But love it. The Lakeside crowd are

doing their best to try and cheer Richie George M. One leg up in the

deciding 9th set in the biggest match of his life, having been 3-1

out of keeping with the way he plays. He has either been

absolutely on top of his game, or he has been miles south. All or

nothing. Jan Dekker has been consistent and occasionally

enthralling encounter. Jan Dekker takes the lead in that particular

head to head. And he is miles ahead in this leg. This is for an 11 dart

finish. Room for one more on top. He did not get it. But he will be

back. He has another three darts at 16. Now he needs two 8s.

But he has not found them! Richie George is looking at 81. What a

dart. Double 16. Jan Dekker has missed five at doubles, to win this

leg. He is the last! -- busted! This is the biggest double eight.

cheer of the week. And that was not even the winning dart. One leg away.

Mori, we feel for you. But we are loving vest. The tension, the

excitement... Eyes out on stalks. It's a but -- but in a leg that Jan

Dekker has two when, he is a lamb almost like no other in this

tournament, that never knows when he is beaten. He loves a fight.

That was borderline genius. After 135 and 130, he has got 180. 19,

double top. He will be back. That was for a 12 dart leg. And here is

some pressure. He does not miss this double 10. I wonder if the

thought crossed his mind... What a start. What a start to this leg.

There would have been plenty of moments, coming here as a young lad,

dreaming of being up on this stage, knowing that he had been darts in

this and, trying to get into the latter stages of this, and that is

the situation he finds himself in now. If he can hold here, he will

be in the semi-final. But Jan Dekker will not be moved. Back in

the treble 20. Twice! 140, 101 place in the semi-finals and Jan

Dekker can do nothing about it. The last time he house, for double

eight, he has hit it. Yes, he is in the semi-finals! The fairy-tale

continues. He makes it through to the semi-finals. But he has not

just won. He has come from 3-1 down. It was a sensational comeback. His

old man would have been proud of it. The place is bouncing. Richie

George makes it into the semi- The funny thing is, when he was a

baby, he would always watched the darts and he would say, me can. As

he got older, he got better. And I thought he would be able to do it,

but will he? That second set, I mean. I thought, come on my little

baby, you can do. And then he did it. That was a terrible thing for

his mother, his family and anyone watching that knows him. He cannot

explain it. It is just a lovely feeling. It is a terrible feeling

when he misses. It is a wonderful feeling when he get it. The boy has

done very well. I wanted him to win their first and he did it. He wins

the second, then the third, then the 4th. I mean, first time. We can

do. It was a good game for the crowds. I play well when I have to

play well. When I do not, I played terrible. I take my chances. I am

happy to be through. Even you must have thought it could slip away?

Yes, in a way, but I thought I would just keep going. The next

three were terrible. And I started hitting them and hitting them. It,

good for me. It has finally clicked on that stage for Richard. He has

got the Game to go all the way. Personally, I am just a privileged

to be sitting with such professionals. Ron at Burgundy,

what are your thoughts for the Game ahead? I think Scott could go all

the way if he stays classic. always thought you had an American
