:03:03. > :03:08.same without this man, Bobby George. A pleasure as always. It is
:03:09. > :03:14.colourful, it is hot, it is tense, everything we want it to be. This

:03:45. > :03:50.needs to do well. Tony O'Shea, he has been here and done it. West, he
:03:51. > :03:59.is always there or thereabouts. Jennings, Thompson, two old
:03:59. > :04:03.campaigners. On that subject, Martin Phillips. He will get to the

:04:56. > :05:04.Very excited. We will talk in more detail about the draw and how we
:05:04. > :05:09.will progress. Scott Mitchell first. Scottie dog, such a colourful
:05:09. > :05:19.character. He has never got beyond the first round here. Who does he
:05:19. > :05:20.
:05:20. > :05:30.go and drop? Mr Englander, Wolfie. It is a bit like a homecoming for
:05:30. > :05:30.
:05:30. > :05:37.me. I have been here so many times, 19 times. I love it here. You can

:05:47. > :05:49.
:05:49. > :05:55.matter what if, it is what was. Good memories. I have watched bits-
:05:55. > :06:00.and-pieces back. There was a great game. I was pleased I came out on
:06:00. > :06:05.top, obviously. He it took him 14 visits to Lakeside to win his first
:06:05. > :06:11.world title. He has won three of the past six. There was another
:06:11. > :06:15.first for me. I defended it and defended it successfully in which I
:06:15. > :06:21.have not done here before. It gives me the opportunity to get the hat-
:06:21. > :06:25.trick. If I do that, it would be another first. I like first, I like
:06:25. > :06:29.equalling records and going be on them. Ought the wins you get here
:06:29. > :06:34.are so special. Obviously, the first one was something really
:06:34. > :06:38.immense for me. I walk -- I will always remember that first world

:06:48. > :06:50.
:06:50. > :06:55.to it. He has been around the circuit for a little while, Scott.
:06:55. > :07:02.He is a tough man to beat. You cannot take anything for granted.
:07:02. > :07:08.He, the same as I can. I do not give predictions. Last time I
:07:08. > :07:13.played Scott, up by one. That one. Hopefully I will win this time
:07:13. > :07:20.round. That is my plans. He is as calm as a summer's day. So many
:07:20. > :07:24.years ago, he could get the title, they now that he has got it under
:07:24. > :07:31.his belt, it is like he is playing in his living room. By is not so
:07:31. > :07:36.much pressure. He has won it three times. The other guys have to be 10
:07:36. > :07:41.to win it. The defending champion, you are always going to be an

:07:54. > :07:59.just beat him. It is a tidy player if he comes out firing straight
:07:59. > :08:04.away. Scott is a bit slower when he comes out. It will take a set or
:08:05. > :08:09.two to get it through and he cannot take -- he cannot afford to do it

:09:11. > :09:17.easy against a crowd that love Martin like they do. How are you
:09:17. > :09:22.feeling? A little bit nervous. I always am. I spoke to Scott earlier
:09:22. > :09:27.and he is more relaxed than I am. What was the text messages got from
:09:27. > :09:31.him five minutes ago? It was saying, don't worry, I'm calm, feeling
:09:31. > :09:35.comfortable and really up for this. It was basically saying it was his
:09:35. > :09:41.time to shine. He knows what he has got to do but he thinks he has got

:41:12. > :41:17.I wouldn't be smiling if I was Scott Mitchell, though. He is a
:41:17. > :41:27.lovely lad, one of the most likeable on the circuit, but he is
:41:27. > :41:42.
:41:43. > :41:52.not smiling through enjoyment, but and hasn't done so so far in the
:41:53. > :41:53.
:41:53. > :42:03.match on Adams's throw. Good thinking from Adams. He took the
:42:03. > :42:19.
:42:19. > :42:22.25, still leaving him a finish. Yes! Thank you very much! It is
:42:23. > :42:27.sensible to go for the bull's-eye at first because the 25 still
:42:27. > :42:37.leaves the checkout, but Martin Adams, at the excellence of

:42:46. > :42:51.Vassos, Martin Adams, hit we didn't have to go for the bull's-eye

:43:01. > :43:16.
:43:16. > :43:21.Martin Adams has only had one out of every four double he has gone
:43:21. > :43:28.for, that average is actually very good. Those Mr doubles have dragged
:43:28. > :43:38.it down a bit. Most of them came in the first set. 15 of them in the
:43:38. > :43:38.
:43:38. > :44:23.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:44:24. > :44:32.better than this. But we know he handy finish. Mitchell, a one
:44:32. > :44:35.Porter, I won 80 here, can give him hope that he can hold his throw. He
:44:35. > :44:41.has got perspiration, and he probably needs inspiration, none is
:44:41. > :44:49.coming his way. That expression on his face, it almost said, do you
:44:49. > :44:59.know what? Get me off this stage. He won't give up, though, Scott
:44:59. > :45:07.
:45:07. > :45:15.Mitchell. Are these to be his final in the first round as a top seed
:45:15. > :45:25.before, the passage is open for him now. He has got the 25, double top
:45:25. > :45:43.
:45:43. > :45:53.for the match. Just above the wire! that final dart way above the
:45:53. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:13.we wait! He still cannot find the target. He is huffing and puffing,
:46:13. > :46:36.
:46:36. > :46:42.sunk the dart into that double bed. And Adams once again has to start
:46:42. > :46:52.from a fiver won't. -- a 501 to stop and is that the moment that
:46:52. > :47:27.
:47:27. > :47:37.could change the context of this 50 points ahead in his bid to break
:47:37. > :47:50.
:47:50. > :48:00.Martin Adams for the first time in 25 would be handy. Bull's-eye would
:48:00. > :48:31.
:48:31. > :48:41.would have had a chance at a double. Not sure why he did that. He will
:48:41. > :48:49.
:48:49. > :48:59.He has got to hit two treble 20s. So far, so good! Old, he misses the
:48:59. > :49:11.
:49:11. > :49:21.double treble, did Wolfie, but no trouble in the end, he is through
:49:21. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :49:59.Just another day at the Office for Martin Adams, and Wolfie has been
:49:59. > :50:07.muted in the first round. -- Scotty Dog has been neutered. You have to
:50:07. > :50:12.break him to beat him, and Scotty Dog couldn't break the wall. He
:50:12. > :50:22.wasn't great, but he didn't need to be. Scott Mitchell had a few shot
:50:22. > :50:23.
:50:23. > :50:27.at double, in different legs, but his scoring wasn't very good.
:50:28. > :50:34.Wolfie just had to plod along. He did enough to win the game. Is it
:50:34. > :50:40.true of darts more than any other sport, that nice guys don't get the
:50:40. > :50:50.lady, and by the lady, I mean the trophy? Scott Mitchell, Tony O'Shea
:50:50. > :50:50.
:50:50. > :50:56.is up next... Nice guys, the bite? Scott Mitchell is a bit soft in his
:50:56. > :51:03.ways, you know? Hasn't got the fire, the killer instinct. But Wolfie, he
:51:03. > :51:07.is not nasty, but he has done it before, he is clinical, military.
:51:07. > :51:17.He was so comfortable up there, when he needed a punt plus outside
:51:17. > :51:23.
:51:23. > :51:28.shop, he came up with it when he If you go for the 60 and you miss
:51:28. > :51:34.it, you cannot get out. If you go for the 25 first, you have got a
:51:34. > :51:38.chance. He hit it either way, and right now, Rob Walker is talking to
:51:38. > :51:44.him. Heres a man who took a small step
:51:44. > :51:47.towards world title number four, but a funny game, that? First
:51:47. > :51:54.rounds can be like that, there is a bit of nervousness from both
:51:54. > :51:59.players, no doubt. None of us like first rounds. We are a bit patchy,
:51:59. > :52:07.that was just above and below, second round, maybe that will be
:52:07. > :52:12.different. That 132 was special. You enjoyed that! And I am glad
:52:12. > :52:18.that has been deserted me. That is one of the ones you practice. --
:52:18. > :52:21.that hasn't deserted me. It does look sweet when it goes in.
:52:21. > :52:27.cameraman was watching that alongside me and said, is that guy
:52:27. > :52:31.in pink too nice to win? In some ways, he is, he is a hell of a nice
:52:31. > :52:36.guy. In the last year or so he has learnt a bit hard to bully, but he
:52:36. > :52:42.hasn't mastered it yet. When he does, the kilobit will come along
:52:42. > :52:46.with it. You worry big one for records, you 19th consecutive
:52:46. > :52:50.Lakeside, you would love to go three in a row, are you almost
:52:50. > :52:56.pitting yourself under a bed and too much pressure, going for all
:52:56. > :53:00.these records and titles? -- putting yourself under a bit too
:53:00. > :53:04.much pressure. Whoever I play in the next round is whoever I play,
:53:04. > :53:08.you have got to get each round out of the way before you can take the
:53:08. > :53:16.next step, and obviously can be your objective is to be in the
:53:16. > :53:21.final, because otherwise you cannot win it. Congratulations.
:53:21. > :53:26.You're always an honest man, Bobby, and sometimes what you say will rob
:53:26. > :53:30.the players up a bit, I will ask a straightforward question - 3 in a
:53:30. > :53:38.row is a great title, but would you rather see a young gun come through
:53:38. > :53:42.and beat him? Yes. I would. You are not getting a drink off Martin
:53:42. > :53:48.Adams later! It would be great if he wins it, but it will be boring.
:53:48. > :53:52.If the same guy does it all the time, you think, it is like a video
:53:52. > :53:57.of the year before. You'd like to see youngsters come through the
:53:57. > :54:02.game, young guys coming up, to win this title to promote the game
:54:02. > :54:12.better. He is going for a hat-trick, and the same can be said of out
:54:12. > :54:12.
:54:12. > :54:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:54:59. > :55:03.She is wonderful, Trina Gulliver, she comes here this week after real
:55:03. > :55:07.tragedy, she lost her mother earlier in the week. Her mother
:55:07. > :55:13.said, don't you dare pull out of this tournament. The darts will
:55:13. > :55:19.mean little to her in comparison. She is a great lady players. The
:55:19. > :55:24.best we have ever had, to be honest. Obviously, she is playing another
:55:24. > :55:31.great player, Lisa Ashton. In fact, all these ladies this year are good
:55:31. > :55:37.players. This is the best line-up we have ever had for the lady
:55:37. > :55:45.players. Brilliant. They all could win it. Trina Gulliver is not going
:55:45. > :55:50.to stand out with the ones in it this year. It is going to be drama
:55:50. > :55:54.all the way tomorrow, we will have that for you. Let's go back to our
:55:54. > :55:59.live action at the BDO World Championship, it is Steve West
:55:59. > :56:05.against Tony O'Shea. Tony O'Shea was involved in a cracker of a
:56:05. > :56:11.final here in 2009, but more often and not -- than not, a week at the
:56:11. > :56:15.Lakeside is a holiday from hell. Welcome back to the big stage, are
:56:15. > :56:20.you looking forward to it? every player it is the same, this
:56:20. > :56:25.is the one we aim for on the tour, this is the big one. A great run to
:56:25. > :56:29.the final in 2009, but last year, you went out in the first round, so
:56:29. > :56:33.you will be desperate to change that record. If you look at my
:56:33. > :56:38.record over the years, when I do have a first-round, I usually have
:56:38. > :56:42.a good year the year after. I am looking for a good run this week.
:56:43. > :56:48.How would you assess your former? You wonder Northern Ireland opened,
:56:48. > :56:53.are you playing well? -- you one at the Northern Ireland Open. I have
:56:53. > :56:57.practised to that standard, I had a quiet and easy Christmas and New
:56:58. > :57:05.Year, I have not been out, just practised at home. I feel really
:57:05. > :57:10.good. A it good to be on on day one, knowing that on Saturday afternoon,
:57:10. > :57:14.led to get out there and get it done? Yes, hanging round the
:57:14. > :57:18.practice room and the hotel is no fun at all, I would rather be up,
:57:18. > :57:23.playing darts, get the first one out of the way. It is usually the
:57:23. > :57:28.toughest one, you want to get rid of it. Steve West has never won in
:57:28. > :57:31.the first round, so that makes him a little bit dangerous, perhaps.
:57:31. > :57:37.is a great player anyway, he is going to be dangerous, but
:57:37. > :57:43.hopefully, that will play on his mind a bit! Best of luck.
:57:43. > :57:51.You don't want a not-so famous five first-round exit in a row! They
:57:51. > :57:55.both have something to prove it. would say, Steve has paid his way
:57:55. > :58:01.to get here, he travels the world and get the points, built himself
:58:01. > :58:05.up to do so well, and he never does. O'Shea is a very tough player to
:58:05. > :58:10.beat when he is on his game, he never gives up. That is the key,
:58:10. > :58:17.when he is on his game. We talk about nice men in darts can he
:58:17. > :58:22.comes it helps us out, does he need to toughen up to get back to the
:58:22. > :58:27.2009 form? I don't think he is that sort of guy, when he is on form, he
:58:28. > :58:34.is a hard guy to beat, he has just had a lean couple of years, seems
:58:34. > :58:44.like he has relaxed now. He has put in a lot of practice. You don't get
:58:44. > :59:01.
:59:01. > :59:11.gentlemen! Let's play darts! England versus England. A Lakeside
:59:11. > :59:11.
:59:11. > :00:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:00:37. > :00:44.welcome for the man they call Silva, both went out in the first round
:00:44. > :00:49.next year. Whoever fails now is on the last bus home tonight. In the
:00:49. > :00:56.commentary box, Tony Green with Vassos Alexander. We are looking
:00:56. > :01:02.for a good match here. Very fast approaching. A lot of confidence,
:01:02. > :01:11.Steve West, coming to the oche. Having won the Irish Open, I think
:01:11. > :01:16.you will find it will help him now. He has been in the final. The main
:01:16. > :01:20.thing is, can he win it? I think it can -- I think he can but it is
:01:20. > :01:26.going to be tough. A we talk about Scott Mitchell being nervous,
:01:26. > :01:31.wanting to avoid a hat-trick of the first round at defeat. Hywel Steve
:01:31. > :01:41.West be feeling? He has lost four in a road -- how what will Steve
:01:41. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:46.West be feeling? Last year, he had three match darts at double top. He
:01:46. > :01:54.missed them all and went home after round one. Steve West will start us
:01:54. > :02:04.off. One thing to remember, Vassos, it is all on the day, I promise you.
:02:04. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:26.Stockport. He usually plays in blue and white of his beloved Stockport
:02:26. > :02:31.County. All in black today as his Steve West. He idolises Stockport.
:02:31. > :02:37.He will be hoping for a better season than his football club. They
:02:37. > :02:43.are currently 19th in the conference. Playing Gateshead or
:02:43. > :02:53.way today. I am just across the other side, Manchester. United,
:02:53. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:20.they are not going so well either. West Brothers, the only brothers to
:03:20. > :03:25.appear in the same Lakeside draw. If they both won their matches,
:03:25. > :03:32.they will meet in the final. cannot tell the difference between
:03:32. > :03:42.either. I have to ask them, are you Tony or are you Steve? I bet they
:03:42. > :04:14.
:04:14. > :04:24.love that! The first leg of the sounds easy. It is rather more
:04:24. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:39.difficult to pull off. It bounced out. He took a deep breath there.
:04:39. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:09.shot and the leg, Steve West. Captors advantage of throwing first.
:05:09. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:29.the EU froze. Coming out onto the stage -- the first new throws. A

:06:12. > :06:17.
:06:17. > :06:27.near them. I would start laughing! That was a great episode. O'Shea
:06:27. > :06:47.
:06:47. > :06:57.be back for double eight. Steve West tries to make some inroads
:06:57. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:07:48. > :07:58.thrower, or wait until Tony comes here every session. You cannot

:08:25. > :08:35.fluent in his throwing, Tony. run up in a 2000 and dying, what a
:08:35. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :08:45.final that was against Ted Hankey. -- in at 2009. Their first round
:08:45. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:08.loser last year, Silverback. cannot be done. He did well to walk
:09:08. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:50.away their, gather his composure. Note. Steve will be happy if this
:09:50. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:36.one goes in. Double top. Yes! His average would have been sky
:10:36. > :10:46.high if he had finished. They lot of people around here like darts as
:10:46. > :10:49.
:10:49. > :10:59.well! I thought we might have been in the Olympics this year, pots. I
:10:59. > :11:34.
:11:34. > :11:44.would have bought a ticket! In the the last! Game, shot and the leg,
:11:44. > :11:45.
:11:45. > :11:55.Tony O'Shea. 2-2, advantage to the throw. Only 68 to start the leg.
:11:55. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:42.That is an awkward dart. Good here! They only need one leg for
:12:42. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:52.the said -- for the set! And a parrot. This is better. It is still
:12:52. > :13:09.
:13:09. > :13:19.a finish. It is awkward. O'Shea cannot leave a finish. It is going

:14:45. > :14:55.Oh, dear. -- the wrong at the in the madhouse. Who is under more
:14:55. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:30.pressure? His brother or Tony's the players are smiling. Anywhere
:15:30. > :15:40.else, you give them 25 Aug 26 darts y a leg and he takes it out with
:15:40. > :15:54.
:15:55. > :16:01.ease. -- 25 or 25. But this one in O'Shea. You would think he has won
:16:01. > :16:09.the World Cup! Between them and they threw up 54 darts at the board
:16:09. > :16:19.in that leg. After all that, Tony O'Shea wins the set against the

:16:19. > :17:00.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:17:00. > :17:08.darts. Plenty of practice, they World Cup singles champion, O'Shea.
:17:08. > :17:12.That was in 2009. It was his year, 2009, wasn't it? He won a few
:17:12. > :17:22.titles. Five of his seven tournament wins came in that year
:17:22. > :17:22.
:17:22. > :18:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:18:19. > :18:24.shot and the leg, Tony O'Shea. messing there. 23 years of age, the
:18:25. > :18:34.Dutch referee making his Lakeside debut. Two new referees this year.
:18:35. > :18:35.
:18:36. > :18:41.The other is even younger! He is very good. They know the doubles.
:18:41. > :18:45.There are eight Dutchmen in the tournament. The first ever Dutch

:20:56. > :21:00.and practice, grandad, they said to him. He has five grandchildren,
:21:00. > :21:10.does Tony O'Shea. They would not give him the day off. Why was

:21:10. > :22:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:22:08. > :22:13.Yes! Game, shot and the set, Tony O'Shea. A after the manners of the

:22:23. > :22:48.
:22:48. > :22:57.second 3-0. -- O'Shea takes the first set seems to have settled

:24:22. > :24:29.sport. Perfect. 180! 180! As quick He has won five legs in a row.
:24:29. > :24:34.is back into the treble. He has found his pitch. 180! There is
:24:34. > :24:44.always nice to start a leg with a ton-80. This is a exhibition stuff
:24:44. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:07.here. Go on, Tony. Let's have on his 47th birthday. -- a nine
:25:07. > :25:17.darter. He is one of the few players to have a nine at darter
:25:17. > :25:54.
:25:54. > :26:01.and a hole in one. He was a former final... But the way he is playing,
:26:01. > :26:11.he is heading that way. Still a long way to go. He has got to get
:26:11. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:58.over this match but he only needs average has gone through the roof.
:26:58. > :27:04.77 in that set one. Not good enough. But he won it. 108 now. Two and a
:27:04. > :27:14.half legs into the third set. Straight back into the treble,
:27:14. > :27:29.
:27:29. > :27:33.fearing the worst for a 5th year in a road. A has not done much wrong
:27:33. > :27:43.but it has gone to pieces now. They are not happy. A great family of
:27:43. > :28:00.
:28:00. > :28:10.from Tony O'Shea. Steve West unfortunately came up against
:28:10. > :28:41.
:28:41. > :28:51.That was an X-rated Brief encounter. Steve West with his Pants down,
:28:51. > :29:06.
:29:06. > :29:13.I have do so, it was one set, then he was throwing for the match.
:29:13. > :29:19.first set was awful. They took 54 darts to win one the leg. It was
:29:19. > :29:24.terrible. Fact is a horrible feeling in that position. Once he
:29:24. > :29:33.won the double one, Tony settled down and started moving better and
:29:33. > :29:37.getting faster. The third set, it was great. 140, 142 out. Steve was
:29:37. > :29:42.not in the race at all. It was a case of a heavyweight to doing what
:29:42. > :29:47.he needed to do. Steve West is more than a half-decent player. His
:29:47. > :29:55.brother is seeded here. Steve has a thing about the Lakeside. Fife
:29:55. > :30:00.first rounds. It was the first set, I think. If Steve had won the set,
:30:00. > :30:08.it would be a different game. He had all of those chances and he
:30:08. > :30:11.blew it. He did not play at all well. He hit loans -- loads of 1s.
:30:11. > :30:19.You cannot do that in this tournament. You will never win
:30:19. > :30:25.playing like that. We will skirt over and move on to the finish that
:30:26. > :30:31.we saw from Tony O'Shea. This type of finish and this type of cool,
:30:31. > :30:37.collected custom could see him do well. Double 10, lovely. That is a
:30:37. > :30:46.great feeling when you do that. Then he bucked up his ideas. Treble
:30:46. > :30:51.20, treble 20, double 11. Get on that, my son. Wald, Steve. He will
:30:51. > :30:56.be thinking more about the finishes and he should be a happy man. Last
:30:56. > :31:01.year, the first round was bad for him. All of the players say the
:31:01. > :31:06.same. First round, if you do not win, you are out. You do not even
:31:06. > :31:12.feel like you have been in the tournament. It hurts if you go out
:31:12. > :31:16.in the second round, but not as much as in the first. Tony played
:31:16. > :31:25.the last set as he can play. I am glad he did. It was a bit dodgy,
:31:25. > :31:35.the first macro -- the first two sets. Wolfie, watch out, the
:31:35. > :31:42.
:31:42. > :31:47.Silverback is with the waistcoat. I might consider that in the future.
:31:47. > :31:54.Bobby just said, you played the way you can in the third set, and in
:31:54. > :31:57.the first two, it was a bit wobbly. I think the scoring wasn't too bad.
:31:58. > :32:02.That set the tone, it wasn't that good in the first set, but after
:32:02. > :32:06.that, Steve struggled a bit there as well, he had chances, but my
:32:06. > :32:10.finishing came together in the last two. You said in the interview
:32:10. > :32:15.beforehand that you had had a good, quiet Christmas, and you were ready,
:32:15. > :32:20.you wanted to make amends for that first-round exit last year. Yes, it
:32:20. > :32:25.means so much, you work all year, and Toulouse in the first round me
:32:25. > :32:31.feel as if it was all for nothing. To win that first round mean so
:32:31. > :32:35.much. Now you what into the tournament, you can relax. We are
:32:35. > :32:39.still in the early stages, but you have got to win to get through, is
:32:39. > :32:44.it starting to feel as though he might be recreating the sort of run
:32:44. > :32:49.that Turkey to the final a few years ago? Just to win that first
:32:49. > :32:53.round that means everything. Now you are in the tournament, you feel
:32:53. > :32:57.more relaxed. There are so much pressure on that first round game,
:32:57. > :33:01.it is unbelievable. All the players out there know what I'm talking
:33:01. > :33:09.about. Now you are in the tournament, you can have a good go
:33:09. > :33:15.at it. I'm sure you will join it -- enjoy an orange juice! Well done.
:33:15. > :33:19.It is a strange place, the first round at Lakeside. We have got the
:33:19. > :33:25.Lakeside first round, and no bigger upset to talk of yet. Before we
:33:25. > :33:35.came on air, two debiteds locked horns, Ron Meulenkamp and Gary
:33:35. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:56.Stone, who only took up darts of leg. Gary Stone steals a little
:33:56. > :34:27.
:34:27. > :34:37.advantage here. Can he now start to I don't know about all this in the
:34:37. > :34:37.
:34:37. > :35:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:35:21. > :35:31.as he possibly can to put any sort of pressure on -- Ron Meulenkamp.
:35:31. > :35:58.
:35:58. > :36:02.I feel relaxed. I am going to go up there and play my normal, steady
:36:02. > :36:12.game, and I will be all right. That is what Gary Stone did in the first
:36:12. > :36:50.
:36:50. > :37:00.back in the rhythm. There we are, darts, Gary Stone, taking control
:37:00. > :37:20.
:37:20. > :37:25.of this leg again. -- we would way. Didn't help that he had to
:37:25. > :37:35.make radical adjustment to the right, but he put a bit of pressure
:37:35. > :37:35.
:37:35. > :38:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:38:41. > :38:51.for Gary Stone to hold his throw. last year, in Holland, all the top
:38:51. > :38:59.
:39:00. > :39:06.players go to it, got through to can do! Yes, it is a cracking
:39:06. > :39:13.tournament. Doesn't always provide the greatest form book, going into
:39:14. > :39:23.a Lakeside. Only one man has ever won it and then gone on to win the
:39:24. > :39:28.
:39:28. > :39:34.Lakeside a few weeks later, and tournament in the Netherlands.
:39:34. > :39:40.Still lots of running in this match. He fights back! What a time to hit
:39:40. > :39:50.a 180. This is the way to get the crowd going. Only been here 15
:39:50. > :39:56.
:39:56. > :40:04.minutes! They pay money for their himself the opportunity, but
:40:04. > :40:14.missing out when it comes to the double. So Meulenkamp, to save...
:40:14. > :40:22.
:40:22. > :40:32.Double top weight for him, why did thoughts! OK, it is fast and
:40:32. > :40:35.
:40:35. > :40:41.easily be Gary Stone two legs up, but he has passed away the
:40:41. > :40:51.advantage he built by himself, and now, Meulenkamp in pole position to
:40:51. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :42:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:42:04. > :42:14.international player of spin Hull for 97. It is double top. He has
:42:14. > :42:20.
:42:20. > :42:28.That double 15 was not what he thought he would be checking out on.
:42:28. > :42:32.It was a little way would, once again. Now, he has to find some
:42:32. > :42:42.resolve, break the throw of Meulenkamp stop if you possibly
:42:42. > :42:42.
:42:42. > :43:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:43:50. > :44:00.not bad out there today. There is 180, might put too much pressure on.
:44:00. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:25.He has done the best he can in that about the pressure Gary Stone
:44:25. > :44:40.
:44:40. > :44:50.It is not the way to check out on 38, but Gary Stone got away with it.
:44:50. > :44:55.
:44:55. > :44:59.straight for doubles, Gary Stone weavers a bit, and he gets carried
:44:59. > :45:06.away. Winnie has to rescue something, he has been absolutely
:45:06. > :45:16.perfect. Both of these last two legs, he has rather rescued it.
:45:16. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :46:01.seems to think too much when he is Meulenkamp. Not enough, I don't
:46:01. > :46:11.
:46:11. > :46:21.but that 43 could be pressured quite easily here. Needs a trouble,
:46:21. > :46:43.
:46:43. > :46:50.though. He has not made the most of Meulenkamp could now lose it. Gary
:46:50. > :46:55.Stone wants 116. So Meulenkamp is going to get a chance. This has not
:46:55. > :47:05.been a good visit, on his last three trips to the oche, or Gary
:47:05. > :47:05.
:47:05. > :47:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:47:50. > :48:00.first upset of the 2012 World Championship? The No. 16 seed is in
:48:00. > :48:13.
:48:13. > :48:19.time, he can leave no stone unturned. An overall 90 average,
:48:19. > :48:29.first match at at the Lakeside, he will be pleased with that. Missed a
:48:29. > :48:37.
:48:37. > :48:47.few doubles along the way, but he moment, this day belongs to Gary
:48:47. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :49:04.Association in Holland. The Dutch darts explode. A very well-run
:49:04. > :49:05.
:49:05. > :49:13.Dutch players back this year, eight of the 32 in the men's singles, all
:49:13. > :49:16.from Holland. They have given us a few champions, of course, including
:49:16. > :49:26.the last man to qualify via the play-offs and win the World
:49:26. > :49:37.
:49:37. > :49:47.here. He brushes his darts. -- rushes. However, will he be coming
:49:47. > :49:47.
:49:47. > :50:37.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:50:37. > :50:47.that all week, promised! Meulenkamp has left it a bit late to win his
:50:47. > :51:04.
:51:04. > :51:14.first 180 of the match. The second Stone now, just a bit of bother
:51:14. > :51:47.
:51:47. > :51:57.here for him. In fact, quite a lot Meulenkamp to throw his way back
:51:57. > :51:57.
:51:57. > :52:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:52:48. > :52:58.needs this double. And it goes is only one away from exit. I think
:52:58. > :53:01.
:53:01. > :53:07.the fuse is getting shorter on the the match, unless Meulenkamp can
:53:07. > :53:17.hold his throw. Has certainly adapted better to the stage, and
:53:17. > :53:17.
:53:17. > :53:21.the crowd, Stone. Looking very confident now, flying. The thing is,
:53:21. > :53:28.he doesn't have to win this leg, he has an opportunity, throwing first
:53:28. > :53:34.next time around. But Meulenkamp keeps giving him chances. Scoring
:53:34. > :53:44.well, but your brother through that last leg away. -- he rather through
:53:44. > :53:50.
:53:50. > :54:00.winner of Martin Adams against Scott Mitchell. He could be up
:54:00. > :54:00.
:54:00. > :55:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:55:20. > :55:26.from Meulenkamp, but this is the one, Gary Stone would have said to
:55:26. > :55:36.himself, I need to hold my throw in this leg. And if I do, I'm into
:55:36. > :55:54.
:55:54. > :56:04.dart. All the way along the bed. He tongs, these two. Unlucky! Touching
:56:04. > :56:04.
:56:04. > :57:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 121 seconds
:57:20. > :57:30.the wire, probably, but you get tournament. -- dart. And Gary Stone
:57:30. > :57:32.
:57:32. > :57:37.Stone by name and nature, how is that for her debut? You know what
:57:37. > :57:42.the nerves are like. The first time at the Lakeside, he has only been
:57:42. > :57:47.playing four years, he has played for his country, it is amazing. He
:57:47. > :57:51.has got to be a natural player to do that. Do you like his style, it
:57:51. > :58:00.is a very measured of throwing action, he has that thing at just
:58:00. > :58:08.willing himself on. The thing is, he has got to be natural to do that.
:58:08. > :58:14.Double 15, he got, but Meulenkamp didn't play that bad, but he just
:58:14. > :58:18.mucked up the shots he had left. Gary took his chances, and he must
:58:18. > :58:24.be really proud of himself to do what he has done in four years of
:58:24. > :58:28.darts. It will be a big occasion for the 30-year-old, he will go on
:58:28. > :58:35.stage buzzing, he will be so happy, and then he will look at the second
:58:35. > :58:41.round draw. I don't think he will be worried about that now. He has
