:00:33. > :00:40.Good evening. Welcome to highlights of day three of the BDO World Darts
:00:41. > :00:44.Championships from Frimley Green. We have a lot to catch up on from the
:00:45. > :00:51.action from seven games and we are going to start with a man who is the
:00:52. > :00:55.definition of blowing hot and cold. He either goes deep or can't go one
:00:56. > :01:04.step beyond the first round. It is Darryl Fitton. That's where we are
:01:05. > :01:09.going to kick off. The reigning Polish Masters Champion, it is
:01:10. > :02:09.Darryl Fitton. Like his opponent we welcome a man
:02:10. > :02:16.that won nine world ranking titles. He is the reigning Scottish Open
:02:17. > :02:49.Champion. It is the Viper, Tony Eccles.
:02:50. > :02:57.Well, so far in this one we are not such which Darryl Fitton turned up.
:02:58. > :03:00.We join it at the beginning of the fourth.
:03:01. > :03:19.Now. He has got to dig deep. It is Darryl Fitton. I must say Eccles is
:03:20. > :03:27.playing like a champion. Two 14 darters in a row. It is just that
:03:28. > :03:34.second leg of that third set. It just seems to have swung this game
:03:35. > :03:40.Tony Eccles way. Critically, he was the one that hit one. Darryl missed
:03:41. > :03:51.four to take a two leg lead in that set and hasn't won a leg since. No,
:03:52. > :04:10.he has been very spasmodic, I would say. Yes. This is better. 137.
:04:11. > :04:17.Well, a little breathing space. So can Darryl get in here? Let's see.
:04:18. > :04:55.He needs to be in the red. Two 140s and a 139 in the last one
:04:56. > :05:10.and 137 in this. To Tony Eccles with a chance at 70 for a first leg of
:05:11. > :05:27.the fourth set. 20 for double 16. He misses this time. I feel he has to
:05:28. > :05:36.hit this one. Just 20. 9 1 left. There it is, double 16. He is
:05:37. > :05:50.missing nothing. Double 8. Double 4. Stand by, Darryl. Yes!
:05:51. > :06:00.He is absolutely clinical, is Eccles. Well, Darryl will draw on
:06:01. > :06:05.all his experience and perhaps specifically his experience from
:06:06. > :06:16.this time last year when he was 2-1 down against Van Gerwen and came
:06:17. > :06:27.back in the second round before losing in the quarter-finals. But he
:06:28. > :06:30.has, as I say, got that big ga experience. He will have been here
:06:31. > :06:34.and got out of this situation many times in his long and illustrious
:06:35. > :06:56.career. He is running out of time. OK. Just 7 points behind at this
:06:57. > :07:17.stage with a deble in the bed -- treble in the bed and another.
:07:18. > :07:29.Can he set himself up with a nice finish here?
:07:30. > :07:46.The answer is yes, Jim. He is on a finish.
:07:47. > :07:59.89 here for Darryl and a leg he can't afford to lose. A good start.
:08:00. > :08:06.Two darts added as well. Darryl Fitton ties it up at 1-1. Look at
:08:07. > :08:14.this, Tony, straight from the off in the next leg. Building up to be a
:08:15. > :08:23.classic. They are loving it out there.
:08:24. > :08:33.He has two opportunities to break the Eccles throw. He has got to do
:08:34. > :08:41.it. Of course, he has to hold his own throw and Tony will be very
:08:42. > :08:51.pleased with the way this is going. Oh yes.
:08:52. > :09:11.He won't let go, will he? He is there all the time.
:09:12. > :09:42.He is hitting everything. 67 Eccles requires to go one leg away from the
:09:43. > :09:56.match. Treble 17. So 18 would leave him
:09:57. > :10:10.double 16. It is the best double on the board. Is it? It is! It is for
:10:11. > :10:15.Eccles! All to do now, Jim. Well, he has to win the next two legs to stay
:10:16. > :10:24.alive. You wouldn't put it past him, but Eccles is a massive, massive
:10:25. > :10:30.favourite from here. A good start from Darryl Fitton. Eccles'
:10:31. > :10:35.finishing has been a little bit erratic, but he hit them when they
:10:36. > :10:39.mattered. He has every reason to be very pleased with this performance
:10:40. > :10:46.here. Well, the winning post is nigh. It is all down to Darryl
:10:47. > :11:02.whether this match continues after this leg.
:11:03. > :11:30.It is the wrong bed. Well, that's three in a bed. But not the bed he
:11:31. > :11:33.wanted. Half an inch from perfection. And half an inch is a
:11:34. > :11:50.massive margin in this game. He is still in with a chance, no
:11:51. > :11:59.problem. He has got the experience. Yes! It is 180. Oh, look at this. He
:12:00. > :12:12.is still giving it his all. Double 18 left. And he will need to get it,
:12:13. > :12:20.I think. Double 18, but more importantly for survival. Yes,
:12:21. > :12:25.Fitton stays alive. We go to a decisive leg, but Fitton has to
:12:26. > :12:30.break Tony Eccles, and he has only managed that once in eight attempts
:12:31. > :12:37.so far. I think we will have to play all these matches in the afternoon.
:12:38. > :12:52.They have had a good night's sleep. Oh, what a classic. Darryl has been
:12:53. > :12:59.in some tusles. The only time that Darryl has broken Tony's throw was
:13:00. > :13:09.the first leg of the second set. He has to do so again right now. Tony's
:13:10. > :13:15.scoring through the first nine darts of a leg has been superior to
:13:16. > :13:23.Darryl's, but it is just letting it down now when he needs it. Right,
:13:24. > :13:39.Darryl, get into the red bit. There is one. There is plenty of room
:13:40. > :13:46.left. Yes, 140. But back comes Eccles. Oh yes, he doesn't want to
:13:47. > :13:56.go any further than this. Looking to finish the match, but Darryl has
:13:57. > :14:06.other ideas. That treble 5 has been a destination that Darryl Fitton has
:14:07. > :14:18.seen far too often for his liking. Tony is 242 points away from the
:14:19. > :14:33.match and a second round tie. OK. Treble 20. Oh. Oh, Darryl. 16
:14:34. > :14:41.scored. The prayers have been answered, no, no, they are not. This
:14:42. > :14:51.is for the match. So Darryl knows he will be back. Way over on the
:14:52. > :15:00.left-hand side. He has only managed to take the 60 out. Left on 100. Who
:15:01. > :15:06.can take it out first? This is to save the match. Which way are you
:15:07. > :15:14.going, Darryl? Two double tops or the treble 20? Single 20 and you are
:15:15. > :15:31.living in hope. And Tony Eccles cannot take out 100. Treble 20. He
:15:32. > :15:37.has got it. He wants double 16. The best double on the board for the
:15:38. > :15:41.match. He is still in with a fight is Darryl Fitton. Match dart missed
:15:42. > :15:47.by Eccles. Fit and double top to stay alive and to two it up at 2-2.
:15:48. > :15:55.No pressure, Darryl! No pressure at all!
:15:56. > :16:14.Double 10. You can hear a pin drop in here. Double 5. You had your
:16:15. > :16:27.chance. You never took it. Moving to the oke. It is double 8. Still
:16:28. > :16:33.double 8. Yes, it is over. What a classic you have seen ho here today
:16:34. > :16:39.-- you have seen here today. Absolute brilliance. What a battle,
:16:40. > :16:43.Jim. A wonderful game of darts. Probably deserved the final set, but
:16:44. > :16:48.take nothing away from Tony Eccles, that was an excellent performance.
:16:49. > :16:55.He struggled in the first round year after year after that wonderful
:16:56. > :17:05.round in 2007. This time he makes it through. He has knocked out the
:17:06. > :17:16.fifth seed, Darryl Fitton. Well done, Tony Eccles.
:17:17. > :17:21.The first round win for Jan Dekker. A previous semi-finalist who beat
:17:22. > :17:29.his fellow country man, Benito Van De Pas. But But now, it is the boss,
:17:30. > :17:34.Scotland's Ross Montgomery against Irishman, Michael Meaney. We join it
:17:35. > :17:38.with Meaney two legs up in the fourth, but it is Ross who has a 2-1
:17:39. > :17:52.advantage. Now, Ross throwing to stay in this
:17:53. > :18:05.fourth set and stop it going to a decider. That was the double. I will
:18:06. > :18:11.tell you something, Tony, I bet he is a poker player. He has no
:18:12. > :18:13.emotion. You don't know whether he is going to walk past you or stop
:18:14. > :18:41.you. He keeps the focus. Well, they can't
:18:42. > :18:48.say they are not had their money's worth. Ross Montgomery just stopped
:18:49. > :18:55.throwing there as the songs continued. Yes, it is difficult.
:18:56. > :18:58.Maybe if he held back a bit before he got to the oke, but that's the
:18:59. > :19:23.way you are. This is for the second of his set.
:19:24. > :19:38.He wanted a treble 17. You feel he has to hit a treble 20.
:19:39. > :19:53.Single 16. Double top. One to go. Yes! The match is all square. 2-2.
:19:54. > :20:04.It is all in the last set. Sit back, relax and watch this one!
:20:05. > :20:11.There is miles between them in career earnings. Miles between them
:20:12. > :20:16.in experience. Miles again them in age. Miles between them in rankings.
:20:17. > :20:22.Nothing between them on the Lakeside stage. Two sets a piece. It will be
:20:23. > :20:33.a brave man to call it from here. Meaney with the throw. Montgomery
:20:34. > :20:42.with the Lakeside savvy. It would be a great story, Michael Meaney. He
:20:43. > :20:44.has been in the preliminaries and take out the number 16 seed on the
:20:45. > :21:00.way. It is a fairytale story, Jim. 2-1 down you would think the
:21:01. > :21:06.pressure would be telling on Michael Meaney. It wasn't the case of it at
:21:07. > :21:23.all. He averaged 100 in that set. Under pressure. Brilliant. The
:21:24. > :21:27.consistency is with Ross. That's it. He has got it. Usually all three go
:21:28. > :21:45.in. He has certainly got problems with
:21:46. > :21:56.them flights. Unless it is the stems.
:21:57. > :22:11.Ross first to a finish albeit a big one. 109 is his best so far. He
:22:12. > :22:18.could do with this 136. It is not going to happen for him.
:22:19. > :22:29.This is a chance now for Meaney to go ahead. 93 so treble 19. So treble
:22:30. > :22:43.14 with this last dart. He could still be coming back though. 54
:22:44. > :22:51.left. 18. Leaves double 18. For a leg against the throw. A fraction
:22:52. > :22:56.away. He just hesitated for a moment and had a little look. 60 for
:22:57. > :23:00.Michael. The first leg in the fifth set. Double 10. Pressure time. Got
:23:01. > :23:33.it. Four legs in a row. It is a long way
:23:34. > :23:38.to Tipperary! It is a long way back from 2-1 down in your first ever
:23:39. > :23:51.Lakeside. He has done well. He kept his cool. Look at this, 441 each.
:23:52. > :23:57.Look at that. Eight legs a piece. Meaney hit his eight doubles in 17
:23:58. > :24:02.darts. Ross has hit his eight in more than twice as many. It tells a
:24:03. > :24:06.story. It shows that Montgomery's scoring has been better because he
:24:07. > :24:13.had more shots at doubles and Michael's finishing has been better
:24:14. > :24:18.and it kept him in it. It has been a brilliant match, Tony. Oh,
:24:19. > :24:24.entertainment, you can't fault it. The crowd have been jumping up and
:24:25. > :24:28.down all night. Ross is out towards it. He had some good scores, but it
:24:29. > :25:00.is tearing off somehow. Ross is in charge in this leg. Up
:25:01. > :25:06.and down really. Both players improving. Both are falling away
:25:07. > :25:17.slightly in the third. The fourth set. He is there again.
:25:18. > :25:29.Treble 19 here. It would have left double 12. Meaney's finishing has
:25:30. > :25:34.been good. Will it be good enough here? A single 8 if he wants double
:25:35. > :25:43.top. No, he is going double 16. It is against the darts. That was
:25:44. > :25:50.unfortunate. Here we go. Two darts. He wants double top. He has only got
:25:51. > :25:57.one left. Meaney in the background. He is coming now to the fore. He is
:25:58. > :26:06.coming now to the oke. Double 16. He has got two darts left. He wants
:26:07. > :26:15.double 8 with this one. Oh dear, Jim. See if you can bring him some
:26:16. > :26:31.luck. Ross Montgomery to hold. Double 10. Oh, another miss from
:26:32. > :26:45.Moss Montgomery. Double 8. The biggest darts of his life. Double 4.
:26:46. > :26:56.Game on a knife edge. Double 2. Every one on the wire. Every one on
:26:57. > :27:04.the wire. It is double 10 now. He had the opportunity, the lad from
:27:05. > :27:08.Kilkenny, but it is 2-2 now and it is one a piece in this set. There is
:27:09. > :27:28.still all to play for and anybody's match. A massive, massive haul for
:27:29. > :27:49.Montgomery. And again, this is such a test of his mettle.
:27:50. > :27:56.We'll experienced hell? -- will experienced hell. That is a good
:27:57. > :28:10.question to ask. This is the man with the experience.
:28:11. > :28:22.Scottish international for many years. At the top of the tree.
:28:23. > :28:51.His opportunity is here. A 63 point lead for Ross. 12 darts a piece.
:28:52. > :29:02.Still be advantage. There should be advantage. -- the advantage. All is
:29:03. > :29:14.I to move within a macro to excel back -- bull's-eye to move within a
:29:15. > :29:18.leg. That is the 60, 70 left. It is the anemometer crowd. So it is all
:29:19. > :29:46.bull. -- it is the bull. Precision under pressure. Ross The
:29:47. > :29:49.Boss now. He just has to hold here. He has seen of the challenge of the
:29:50. > :29:57.young Rocky to make it through to the second round. -- seen off.
:29:58. > :30:10.Impressed all the way. That is the winner. That is good.
:30:11. > :30:28.His eyes are shutting. Just get back in the match. He is talking himself
:30:29. > :30:37.round. 122 from the first six starts. Michael has an outstanding
:30:38. > :30:39.chance. -- darts. He came from behind earlier and he has to do the
:30:40. > :31:19.same now. Michael has not done anything
:31:20. > :31:31.spectacular in this leg but he has an outstanding chance to break back.
:31:32. > :31:34.That will help him. 148. Ross has to get into the treble. He is doing
:31:35. > :31:42.that, can he get another? 148 to stay alive. Some way away,
:31:43. > :31:52.that first dart. Chances for Michael Meaney in a leg
:31:53. > :32:23.he has to win. Another one of those. He is coming back the 70. -- for 70.
:32:24. > :32:34.Another big moment. 12. Double top to stay alive.
:32:35. > :32:45.Double ten for Montgomery to seal a thriller. He composes himself, and
:32:46. > :32:52.when is! -- wins. Pushed all the way, a sensational match on the
:32:53. > :33:00.Lakeside stage, and Ross Montgomery who struggled at the first hurdle
:33:01. > :33:06.struggled again but he got the job done and he held his nerve. Credit
:33:07. > :33:10.also to Michael Meaney, an excellent performance from the young Irishman.
:33:11. > :33:17.This might be his first Lakeside, it will not be his last, to remember,
:33:18. > :33:24.what a game! Montgomery through to the next round.
:33:25. > :33:30.The badger winning his first World Championship match at the fifth time
:33:31. > :33:34.of asking. We saw Jan Dekker go around -- go through to the next
:33:35. > :33:46.round anti-war play against Geert De Vos, of old gym.
:33:47. > :33:49.-- of Belgium. -- and he will play against.
:33:50. > :34:24.His finishing has improved as the game has continued, as well as his
:34:25. > :34:28.scoring, Geert De Vos. In the second set coming he hit five out of nine,
:34:29. > :34:35.struggled in the first set. Since the second share -- since the second
:34:36. > :34:41.set, should I say. Very little between them.
:34:42. > :35:06.We are seeing a great display from these players. Belgium and Latvia.
:35:07. > :35:15.Their countries will be proud of them, definitely.
:35:16. > :35:20.180! That was his first maximum. And now
:35:21. > :35:31.Geert De Vos back with an opportunity, a double 11.
:35:32. > :35:43.He is going to take it. A double four now.
:35:44. > :36:05.Double four four Geert De Vos. -- for Geert. A slight adjustment. Went
:36:06. > :36:12.the wrong way! No problem with the third attempt. A leg against the
:36:13. > :36:20.darts. That was potentially a big leg. He holds here and he is 2-1 up.
:36:21. > :36:27.He has got to hold here first. A good start, that is the finish. That
:36:28. > :36:48.is his friend. Jackie. He looks so fresh. The Boss. He
:36:49. > :37:09.looks very fresh. You can see how his checkouts have
:37:10. > :37:19.improved. A poor first set. He missed his 30 -- he missed his first
:37:20. > :37:23.13 darts. Since then, pretty tidy. I think he is in the reckoning, both
:37:24. > :37:34.of them are in the reckoning for the title. One of them has to go.
:37:35. > :37:41.Unfortunately, it is all in the draw. There it is. They are giving
:37:42. > :37:47.some entertainment to the crowd here. Lakeside at its best! 19,
:37:48. > :38:17.double top. Double top. Want to go, no show! -- one. 19, the
:38:18. > :38:31.double 16. It is double top. Just unable to equalise in legs. Looking
:38:32. > :38:37.at double top. He has got it! He has done it. Geert De Vos leads to-1 in
:38:38. > :38:57.sets, a great match. -- 2-1. At this stage last year, Bert took
:38:58. > :39:06.on Tony Eccles and beat him 3-set against one. -- Geert. Absolutely
:39:07. > :39:11.flying 12 months ago. Scott Waites beat him in the second-round
:39:12. > :39:18.encounter. Before that, he beat Tony West in the first round and came up
:39:19. > :39:29.against eventual Champion Christian Kist in the second round. We are
:39:30. > :39:30.warming to his task now. -- he is really warming. Moving in, looking
:39:31. > :39:54.good. He has gone for the big finish, 170
:39:55. > :40:05.left. It is the highest on the board.
:40:06. > :40:16.Did not get the treble 20 with the first start that he needed. If he
:40:17. > :40:21.had taken out the 170, Jackie might have spontaneously combusted!
:40:22. > :40:40.-- for 93. Not missing anything, this is really in it! -- brilliant.
:40:41. > :40:58.The Belgians and the Latvians showing us what darts is all about.
:40:59. > :41:17.You name it, it is common from these players! -- coming. Great stuff.
:41:18. > :41:31.Two 140s. He is back in the treble again. Take your time.
:41:32. > :41:41.Nine darts thrown. 127 left to finish.
:41:42. > :41:55.Treble 20. Double 19. It is the bull! Unlucky. He had a 126 in his
:41:56. > :42:00.match against Michael, he needed a 127. What have done him the world of
:42:01. > :42:17.good. -- it would have done him. He is letting it slip! We know the
:42:18. > :42:26.potential of Geert De Vos. Look at this. A treble 60! How is that to
:42:27. > :42:44.get down to double top? Yes! Another great leg of darts from
:42:45. > :42:51.these two. Fantastic credit to Geert De Vos. He is on 202, he goes double
:42:52. > :43:02.19, double 19, treble 16. Brilliant play. Ultimately counted for
:43:03. > :43:12.nothing. He has only just kept it alive. With Razmataz.
:43:13. > :43:22.Six out of seven on his own darts. All he has got to do is hold the
:43:23. > :43:45.next two and he has a place in the second-round and a 3-1 victory.
:43:46. > :43:53.He needed the treble to get him under way.
:43:54. > :44:03.He will be back from 90. Which will take him within one or two of the
:44:04. > :44:10.match. -- within one like of the match. -- leg.
:44:11. > :44:26.A double top to move within a leg. Excellent from Geert De Vos! And he
:44:27. > :44:31.is in the box seat now! There it is, hit the bull just before that to
:44:32. > :44:56.get to the double top. Absolutely brilliant!
:44:57. > :45:15.He is running away with this leg. Got to get back into the heavy
:45:16. > :45:21.scoring hopefully to keep his hopes alive.
:45:22. > :45:26.Very unfortunate with the bounce out.
