:00:36. > :00:43.It is the Lakeside in January for the World Darts. We only started a
:00:43. > :00:53.couple of hours ago and already three hearts have been broken by --
:00:53. > :00:55.
:00:55. > :01:05.have been broken. Tony O'Shea was knocked out last year but has gone
:01:05. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:12.through today. What an end for the debutante Gary Stone. It was the
:01:12. > :01:19.Dutchman Meulenkamp who was the seed. Gary Stone was the winner
:01:19. > :01:29.though. Shock, horror, surprise. Martin Adams, a normal day in his
:01:29. > :01:38.living room, taking on Scott Mitchell. He won as well. Bobby is
:01:38. > :01:42.here as always. We are joined by Wolfie. If these games are never
:01:42. > :01:47.easy. First rows are never easy games. None of us like playing them
:01:47. > :01:53.but we have got to do it. But the result is absolutely brilliant.
:01:53. > :01:59.you miss it for 11 months, when you are not up there? Are a lot happens
:01:59. > :02:05.in between. You must be counting down the days, especially when you
:02:05. > :02:13.are on this hat-trick, three in a row. A I would love to do one of
:02:13. > :02:23.these every month at the Lakeside. I think that is the biggest banner
:02:23. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:33.I have ever seen here war. -- here. The Wolfie banner. Bobby, what do
:02:33. > :02:42.you think? We love all of that. love them. You are on the board of
:02:42. > :02:47.the BDO now. Does that mean you have to get up earlier rather than
:02:47. > :02:54.practising? Or can you totally concentrate on the darts?
:02:55. > :02:59.delegate. Excellent. You cannot delegate some of the finish his
:02:59. > :03:07.pupils off. Once the first set was out of the way, you were on form
:03:07. > :03:13.with the finishers. That is what you need every round. I was pleased
:03:13. > :03:22.at the 132, that it didn't let me down. One and a converted to is a
:03:22. > :03:27.great finish. It did not let me down. Happy days. Gary Stone in the
:03:27. > :03:33.next round. Only started playing darts four years ago. How many
:03:33. > :03:40.years had you been at the Lakeside when he first picked up a dart of?
:03:40. > :03:50.I had been here 15 years. Are you going to teach him a lesson? He is
:03:50. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :03:59.a great young players. I played him in the trebles. Are you go in to
:03:59. > :04:04.stay and watch the sport with us? Ross Montgomery has threatened so
:04:04. > :04:09.much here at the Lakeside but has never quite pulled it off. He is
:04:09. > :04:13.coming off a fantastic year and is confident. We know a Dutch man who
:04:13. > :04:18.might have something to say about that.
:04:18. > :04:23.You had some good wins last year. You are bringing excellent form to
:04:23. > :04:29.beat Roger Bishop? Are you feeling OK. I have had a good ear. I am the
:04:29. > :04:34.King forward to it. For what about the winner over at Dean Winstanley.
:04:34. > :04:39.That must have given you huge confidence? I went two sets up, he
:04:39. > :04:46.got it back but I got the final double. How much do you know about
:04:46. > :04:53.Fabian? I remember a few years ago he beat Gary Anderson. I know he is
:04:53. > :05:03.a very good player. Fabian, is it nice to be back here? It is a good
:05:03. > :05:07.
:05:07. > :05:11.tournament. You know you are going to need to be on good form? I know.
:05:11. > :05:18.Ross, you have been around for a few years... But thank you very
:05:18. > :05:23.much! Does it feel as though you could have a special here? I hope
:05:23. > :05:29.so but mentally I take one game at a time. I never try to go beyond
:05:29. > :05:33.the first game because as my record tells you, if I have only got past
:05:33. > :05:37.the first round once. I think about one game only and consider the next
:05:37. > :05:41.game after I have finished this one. A what would it mean to you if you
:05:41. > :05:47.were able to put a special week together here? It would mean a lot
:05:47. > :05:54.to me and my sponsors and family. Being 50 this year, it will be be
:05:54. > :06:00.to do well. We hope you start the Week in style. Thank you for
:06:00. > :06:10.talking to us. He does not look a day over 48! Let
:06:10. > :06:20.us what the talking for the sake tungsten. Are you ready? Ladies and
:06:20. > :06:25.
:06:25. > :06:35.gentlemen, let's play darts! A great Lakeside welcome for the men.
:06:35. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:55.The boss, Ross Montgomery. "Burn It To The Ground" by
:06:55. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:40.A man of Orange, a man of the Netherlands, welcome Fabian
:07:40. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:19.It is Scotland against Holland here at the Lakeside. Your commentators,
:08:19. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:35.David Croft and facile Alexander. Ross Montgomery is in the frame for
:08:35. > :08:45.a second-round appearance and is wearing the frames as well. He has
:08:45. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :09:01.been wearing glasses for about nine tremendously. That was his last up
:09:01. > :09:07.wreak practice darts. I think we are in for a bit of a treat here. -
:09:07. > :09:16.- free practice darts. I wonder if he is their best? 18 years of age
:09:16. > :09:21.and making his Lakeside debut. -- I wonder if he is nervous? Ross
:09:21. > :09:30.Montgomery gets us under way. First to three sets for a place in round
:09:30. > :09:35.two. I would imagine after Bowe's opening darts, Montgomery is
:09:35. > :09:45.feeling a lot happier. Both of the players have been to the second
:09:45. > :09:49.round, the last 16, at Lakeside. Montgomery in 2009, Roosenbrand in
:09:49. > :09:59.the 2000 and date. He beat Gary Anderson, the second seed, that
:09:59. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:05.year. -- in at 2000 and date. is a lot of potential for Ross
:10:05. > :10:08.Montgomery. Gary Anderson may have been a semi-finalist but all too
:10:08. > :10:15.often he fell at hurdles that he should have been clearing with much
:10:15. > :10:19.ease. Fabian Roosenbrand will remember that from his match
:10:19. > :10:26.against Anderson and I do think that Ross Montgomery is in good
:10:26. > :10:32.form at the moment. If the formbook goes the right way, he should
:10:32. > :10:42.stretch Roosenbrand at least. turning 50 this year, in fact, he
:10:42. > :10:42.

:11:55. > :12:03.supporting someone. Everyone is either a tiny disappointment or a
:12:03. > :12:13.moment of victory. Even that 81 could not bring a smile to the face
:12:13. > :12:23.of the Dutch man. He looks a bit concerned. So he should be,
:12:23. > :12:30.
:12:30. > :12:39.Montgomery is powering ahead in the last leg. He will not have a
:12:39. > :12:49.chance at 161 here. He will be more than happy with the 62 after 12
:12:49. > :12:58.darts. Can the Dutchman put himself anywhere near a Finnish? -- near a
:12:58. > :13:08.Finnish? A hit the target quite easily! There is the first break of

:14:13. > :14:23.Roosenbrand in here? That bounce out was quite costly. He could have
:14:23. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:06.needs are to put some pressure on. This is how you do it. That is OK.

:20:40. > :20:47.say, I have broken it straight back and put myself in contention in the
:20:47. > :20:57.set. Just his second visit to late side. His first was in 2000 then

:21:43. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:21.throw has not applied to the better off busting that rather than
:22:21. > :22:31.leaving the double two. Rosen band had not look like winning the leg

:22:51. > :22:56.but is going to get one dart at of the board. But it stayed. Now
:22:56. > :23:01.look set changes around. Montgomery should really have taken that
:23:01. > :23:08.previous leg but he has led to the opportunity slip. Roosenbrand is
:23:08. > :23:14.coming up there to steal it. If he hits the 140 or the 125, he will
:23:14. > :23:24.take charge. But no consistency there. He will have the darts in
:23:24. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:44.match, a maximum from Montgomery. Brave it. A single 20 would not
:23:44. > :23:54.have left him on a finish. He was a bit off target. That leaves them

:24:08. > :24:15.stop the run of mixed -- must doubles. That was a 13 at dart leg
:24:15. > :24:23.to hold his throw. A big leg in the context of his match. Roosenbrand,
:24:23. > :24:31.that was just hanging on in there. A big one here from Montgomery.
:24:31. > :24:35.It's all sorts of pressure on the Dutchman. It is a big ones. 180!
:24:35. > :24:45.liked that but Roosenbrand, straight back. How about that?!
:24:45. > :25:00.
:25:00. > :25:05.180! The match catches fire! The gives them pole position. Can
:25:05. > :25:15.Montgomery stick in the big score and put pressure on Russell Brand's

:25:32. > :25:38.pro-? -- on Roosenbrand's wrote? darter. Once again, Montgomery sets

:26:03. > :26:10.The boss will take charge? Last dart at double eight. No score.
:26:10. > :26:20.am not sure why Montgomery is smiling. For Roosenbrand has bust
:26:20. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:27.it. Pay has gone for the double 7th. Actually, he was going for 19. Now
:26:27. > :26:37.he has passed it. The score on the stage may have gone wrong map.
:26:37. > :26:59.
:26:59. > :27:05.meant to be going for. The referee it in his first ever match at the
:27:05. > :27:10.World Championship has said that he wants 19th. I do not think the
:27:10. > :27:20.delay has helped Fabian Roosenbrand at all. He is not happy with
:27:20. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:38.Montgomery. That was a massive leg of darts for him. When you have
:27:38. > :27:44.lost so much, you do not want to throw way a good position. Now he
:27:44. > :27:54.will take the confidence. Russell Brand, what will he say afterwards
:27:54. > :27:57.about the ending of that leg? -- Fabian Roosenbrand. The last thing
:27:58. > :28:06.the referee would have wanted to in his first match. But these things
:28:06. > :28:16.happen. Montgomery lost in 2006 in round one and last year and the
:28:16. > :28:36.
:28:36. > :28:43.year before last. Looking good in third set. The agony continues for
:28:43. > :28:53.the Dutchman with another bounce out. He is making the referee
:28:53. > :29:07.
:29:07. > :29:17.retrieve the darter for him! The sets for Fabienne Roosenbrand.
:29:17. > :29:26.

:30:51. > :30:56.

:31:06. > :31:08.
:31:08. > :31:14.stance. The only needs one trouble. Treble 20. Single 20. Double top.
:31:14. > :31:24.He did tighten up a touch. Roosenbrand, to hold his throw.

:31:44. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:59.over yet, this match. He has missed 19 doubles, has Ross Montgomery. He
:31:59. > :32:09.
:32:09. > :32:14.last start their, Roosenbrand. Once again, Montgomery, who was dead
:32:14. > :32:24.solid with the opening two sets, is starting to sway from side to side.

:32:24. > :33:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds

:33:43. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:50.wins the set. How things change. Fabian to throw first. All that
:33:50. > :33:55.confusion at the end of the second set has rather inspired Fabien
:33:55. > :34:05.Roosenbrand. He won that set against the throw. If he can hold
:34:05. > :34:28.
:34:29. > :34:38.his throw here, he will force this against the throwing this leg. --
:34:38. > :34:46.the throw. This is better, much better. One of those stance was
:34:46. > :34:56.looking dodgy in the troubled bed. 140! Nice reply back from
:34:56. > :35:01.
:35:01. > :35:11.Montgomery has of. The scoring has found. Trouble 17, I would have
:35:11. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:25.thought here. -- treble 20. Roosenbrand once double top. --
:35:25. > :35:36.
:35:36. > :35:46.championship but when you've had the experience is that Montgomery
:35:46. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :36:02.has had over the years here, it little scruffy with his shooting.
:36:02. > :36:19.
:36:19. > :36:26.played here with his glasses, Montgomery. And another bounce out
:36:26. > :36:36.for the Dutchman! He will be feeling hard done by. It is not
:36:36. > :36:36.
:36:36. > :37:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 51 seconds
:37:20. > :37:24.like Montgomery has taken any with a 170 checkout. This has
:37:24. > :37:31.served him well. You know, he really tensed up there. Here is
:37:31. > :37:39.your chance, Ross Montgomery. Treble 19 has missed. So, trouble
:37:39. > :37:48.12, leaves double 13. It leaves a bullseye! And he will be feeling a
:37:48. > :37:55.whole lot better after that. That has rather a rested the Dutchman's
:37:55. > :38:04.development. He wins his first leg in five. Was that the size of
:38:04. > :38:14.genius that could believe de Bourse back into this match? -- bully the
:38:14. > :38:18.
:38:18. > :38:23.that 81 checkout was looking a very good shot to square up at 2-2. Now,
:38:23. > :38:33.things might change, especially if Montgomery can find a treble 20
:38:33. > :38:34.
:38:34. > :38:44.here, which she cannot. -- he cannot. He has been given chances
:38:44. > :38:52.
:38:53. > :38:57.though. This leg is still up for pressure. Oh, and still Roosenbrand
:38:57. > :39:07.cannot cure his bounce had a problem. He clipped a data on his
:39:07. > :39:14.
:39:14. > :39:24.way to the board. -- a dart. And he will be made to pay here! And that
:39:24. > :39:33.
:39:33. > :39:43.off throw for Montgomery! And he has moved himself to within one leg
:39:43. > :39:53.
:39:53. > :40:03.of the match here. He has found is round them, but Ross Montgomery. --
:40:03. > :40:14.
:40:14. > :40:19.Bull's eyes settled him down again? I think the advantage of first
:40:19. > :40:21.throw here will be key to Montgomery because he is still not
:40:21. > :40:26.putting the big scores in consistently enough. He is a man
:40:26. > :40:36.who has never average over 91 of his lakeside stage and he is on 89
:40:36. > :40:59.
:40:59. > :41:05.at the moment. -- averaged over 90 think the 170 finish is nicer than
:41:06. > :41:15.the 167 really. He is going to be under some pressure here, isn't he
:41:15. > :41:25.question it would be some way to finish. -- isn't he? It would be
:41:25. > :41:28.
:41:28. > :41:38.some way to finish. Now, single aid for tops. Oh, no! He will start
:41:38. > :41:42.
:41:42. > :41:48.with a double 18. No, he has gone that way. Double top. 30. Fabian,
:41:48. > :41:58.you require 20. Double ten, normally, quite easy. There is
:41:58. > :42:30.
:42:30. > :42:40.added extra pressure. He recovers crucial lead of darts. Look,
:42:40. > :42:42.
:42:42. > :42:49.Montgomery is straight in. Another treble 20 as well. Another bouncer
:42:49. > :42:59.out. About one looked to me like it came off the wire. -- another
:42:59. > :43:10.
:43:10. > :43:20.bounce out. That one looked to me this deciding leg off the set. He
:43:20. > :43:21.
:43:21. > :43:31.has had one dark of the match. -- dart. Not on a finish yet though,
:43:31. > :43:31.
:43:31. > :43:41.Montgomery. But not under pressure. Now, is that the opening? Is that
:43:41. > :44:05.
:44:05. > :44:09.Montgomery buying a bit of time match! 169. He was right on the
:44:09. > :44:18.wire and half the crowd were ready to celebrate. I think he was as
:44:18. > :44:26.well. He will be back. Ross, you require 32. Three darts that's a
:44:27. > :44:36.double 16 for a place in round two and he only needs one of them! Ross,
:44:37. > :44:57.
:44:57. > :45:01.the Boss, is through to round two! the Boss, from Scotland, Ross
:45:01. > :45:05.Montgomery! Bobby George was not quite sure what he was seeing a
:45:05. > :45:09.player. One minute, a world beater, next minute, an amateur. It doesn't
:45:09. > :45:19.matter because if Ross Montgomery is through to the second round of
:45:19. > :45:27.
:45:27. > :45:33.Like a steam train, it was wonderful to watch, and then we saw
:45:33. > :45:36.the wheels come off. We had 180 and then we saw the type of shot I hit.
:45:36. > :45:42.A he played so well and then he played so bad. I could understand
:45:42. > :45:47.it if he was behind. But he was in front and he just sort of like went
:45:47. > :45:54.to sleep or I don't know how to discredit. IPod Roosenbrand was
:45:54. > :46:00.going to come back at him and make the game. -- I thought Roosenbrand.
:46:00. > :46:06.But he cannot get away with that. He stepped it up again. It was a
:46:06. > :46:16.roller-coaster. He stepped up a game -- his game, held his nerve to
:46:16. > :46:21.
:46:21. > :46:31.Ables I always looks lovely. It's a lovely shot to watch. -- Abel
:46:31. > :46:35.
:46:35. > :46:39.consistent and then he went to sleep, like I said. He came back
:46:39. > :46:44.and do the business. He is not worried now, he is through.
:46:44. > :46:54.Absolutely. The final here is on the eve of his 50th birthday. What
:46:54. > :46:57.
:46:57. > :47:05.Fabien came into the game in the second set and he had a lot of
:47:05. > :47:13.bounce out so. It punished him. I thought I was in command at 2-loved
:47:13. > :47:18.-- 2-0. I never feel I want to brag but I felt today but life deserved
:47:18. > :47:22.to get past the first round. I've worked my socks off for the last
:47:22. > :47:25.four or five years. I felt I deserved it. Unfortunately, Fabien
:47:25. > :47:29.has to go home but he is a good player and will be back. The match
:47:29. > :47:32.against Tony O'Shea will be huge in the second round and you will need
:47:32. > :47:36.to be better. I will need to sharpen up my doubles. Tony will
:47:36. > :47:43.punish the bad day. It will be a good Scotland / England match. It
:47:43. > :47:47.will be fun. Well done today, Ross. I was already excited enough about
:47:47. > :47:51.him playing and now he is adding the Scotland slashing done thing as
:47:51. > :47:56.love. But he does need to find some consistency. He will not get away
:47:56. > :48:02.with that against Tony O'Shea. In these sort of championships, you've
:48:02. > :48:11.got to get your doubles. You can't miss big numbers. You are relieved
:48:12. > :48:15.that because you made -- you missed a shot. You cannot keep doing that.
:48:15. > :48:22.Do we have a sneaking feeling that Ross Montgomery could do well this
