This afternoon we will bring you up-to-date with the conclusion of | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the first round, which has taken place over the last few days. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Joining me here, Bobby George and David Croft. Here's what we have | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
got coming up for you this afternoon. The man who reached the | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
final on his debut last year, Dean Winstanley, is back, to go one | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
:01:18. | :01:20. | ||
better. The seeded Dutchman met Alan Norris in the first round. | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
Tony West lost his darts, but hope to to win out against the Belgian. | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
And Look Who's Back, the 2008 world champion Anastasia Dobromyslova. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
And on a semi-final collision course, going for her tenth world | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
title. We will begin with a nomadic Alan Norris, who has never really | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
lived up to expectation here at the Lakeside. But he arrives here in | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
magnificent form this year. In the first round, he drew the German | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
Open champion, a me a spring chicken of the sport, an 18-year- | :02:01. | :02:11. | |
:02:11. | :02:19. | ||
old with massive ambition, Benito I started seven or eight years ago, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
while camping. My dad was playing darts with some friends, and there | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
was always watching. In the holiday, he was playing a tournament, and he | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:40. | ||
reached the final and he lost. He won a prize. So, I started to play | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
darts. The next year, I won the tournament, and I got a lot of | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :02:56. | ||
prizes. A few years ago, I started to play more, and a was a talent, | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
and I won very many tournaments. Last year I started to play | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
international tournaments, and I won the German Open. After that, I | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
went to England and played all of the tournaments. I reached 14th | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
place in the league table. Now, I'm a seeded player, I think I'm the | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
youngest ever. This year I hope I can win a game, then I will be the | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
youngest man to win a game. I have watched almost all the games. I | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
know the audience, it is very nice to play here. It is a fantastic | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
crowd, and I hope I will win. Seeing Clive Barden here yesterday, | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
it was amazing. There was a lot of orange. My dream was to reach the | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
:03:59. | :04:05. | ||
Lakeside. And now, award to win. Are you ready? Ladies and gentlemen, | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
let's play darts. From the Netherlands, welcome Benito van de | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:22. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :04:22. | :05:54. | |
having taken the first set. Alan Norris winning the first set, and | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:05. | ||
his average was 97 exactly. It will take some beating, but here we go. | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Gladstone! The get these, we are only in the first leg of the second | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
:06:21. | :06:30. | ||
in the PDC under-21 World Championship, losing in the semi- | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
finals, but can certainly hold his own on the senior stage. I have | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
never seen Alan Norris throw like this before, in all the times he | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
has been here, he has never come out like this. Very true, even in | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
his victory against Montgomerie in the first round last year, he was | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
:07:02. | :07:23. | ||
not as convincing as these at the a little bit here, but Benito van | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
de Pas has not got a chance to break yet. Only 40. So, 16 for tops. | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
Where has he gone? He has gone treble 14 for double 12. Well, he | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
was going for 66, Alan Norris, because that is what the scoreboard | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
:07:54. | :07:56. | ||
on the stage said. Double top... Double 10... Taking his time. Oh, | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:26. | ||
The referee on the stage called that he wanted 66. And he went | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
treble 14. And what it says on the scoreboard, what the caller calls, | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
is what the players go for. Unless it is questioned by his opponent. | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
Quite. It wasn't. 56 would have been better for him! But anyway, | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
Alan Norris won, and we move on. TONY GREEN: The thing is, you | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
:09:03. | :09:06. | ||
cannot dispute after you have thrown. That's the rules. Get on | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
:09:16. | :09:21. | ||
with the game, that's all you can do. Having a great time at the | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
moment Julie. I have seen her playing. Yes, in the women's World | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
Championship. That was to square it up in this set, but another double | :09:35. | :09:43. | |
goes begging. He rather snatched at it. Yes, but he will have three | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :09:56. | ||
darts at double 10 now. Alan Norris is querying the score. 108 it is. | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
:10:06. | :10:15. | ||
because he had to wait quite a bit, Benito van de Pas. I did it for | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
many, many years on that stage, I can guarantee, it is not easy. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Marco, all the way from Holland, first time on the stage, you have | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
got to give him credit. That was going to be a 180, but one went on | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:56. | ||
second dart a long way down, I'm surprised he did not switch, rather | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
than just making the adjustment further along the Oche. It is | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
curious, I'm talking from here, just from seeing it from where we | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
:11:18. | :11:18. | ||
are. His elbow is straight, but still... A little left of the head | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
just before he throws as well. Maybe we will have a look in the | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
:11:32. | :11:32. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :11:32. | :12:29. | |
moment. 180! Another maximum. 154 smiling on that stage. I think | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
:12:39. | :12:41. | ||
who's just enjoying the rhythm, the pace, the occasion, his form. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
you mentioned, he stayed in Sweden for a couple of years, and then | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
moved to Scotland. He must like it where it is cold! The's going to go | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
:13:04. | :13:33. | ||
Nothing he could do about it to leave himself on a finish. It is | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :14:23. | ||
opportunity. That is awkward. You could see how awkward he made it. | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
:14:33. | :15:02. | ||
That was a shameful stop -- that Benito van de Pas. Game on. This | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
contest is different to last November, the quarter-finals. Alan | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
Norris beat Benito van de Pas by four legs to two. Here, it is all | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:27. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :15:27. | :17:08. | |
I totally agree. Credit to his mother and father. They will cheer | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
:17:18. | :17:46. | ||
down at the start of this third set? Yes. He is releasing the more | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
:17:56. | :18:01. | ||
quickly now. 180. When you dance floor, you speeded up sometimes. | :18:01. | :18:11. | |
:18:11. | :18:11. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :18:11. | :18:53. | |
Who is going to waltz into the He does not miss out. He is | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
starting to gain momentum. It fascinated me how quickly Benito | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
:19:08. | :19:18. | ||
van de Pas got dragged into Alan Norris's pace. 180! The record for | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
:19:28. | :19:34. | ||
a five-set match his 12th. That was unlucky. He lost the match after he | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
:19:44. | :19:44. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :19:44. | :20:25. | |
He almost released the dark. 180! He wants a double 14. John | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Henderson will be wanting him to slow down and stop him from taking | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
:20:40. | :20:40. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :20:40. | :22:07. | |
take us all the way in this third set. He has got it. Game, shot and | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:17. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :22:17. | :23:08. | |
the set, Alan Norris. Game on. forging ahead. At one clapped at | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:42. | ||
the first dart. He will not be on a all stake in. He was not expecting | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
:23:52. | :24:11. | ||
difficult with that first dart. He still had time even with all those | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:27. | ||
mistakes. Alan Norris only needs to hold his brought to get around to. | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
:24:37. | :25:11. | ||
-- hold his throw to get to round was the first bounce out for Alan | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
:25:21. | :25:47. | ||
van de Pas. Double 16 with the start. It is not his final dart. | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
Alan Norris is pushing pressure on them -- putting pressure on him. He | :25:55. | :26:05. | |
:26:05. | :26:45. | ||
asked a question of the young 18- scoring. Benito van de Pas is | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
:26:55. | :27:16. | ||
slipping up. He needs to break with as this. Douglas is already through | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
:27:27. | :27:27. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :27:27. | :28:08. | |
to the second round. Benito van de in the match. -- thrown. He caught | :28:08. | :28:18. | |
:28:18. | :28:19. | ||
the inside of the barrel. He pushed it in a little. Is this Benito's | :28:19. | :28:29. | |
:28:29. | :28:57. | ||
front of this crowd, you need to super-Mare. They have come down to | :28:57. | :29:07. | |
:29:07. | :29:24. | ||
Benito van de Pas has an average of 90. It may not be good enough. That | :29:24. | :29:34. | |
:29:34. | :29:45. | ||
was for the match. Is it a choke? Two darts to go off. And he has got | :29:45. | :29:55. | |
:29:55. | :30:12. | ||
the throw of Alan Norris in this one. Unless you're in the Alan | :30:12. | :30:22. | |
:30:22. | :30:58. | ||
Norris camp, I think everyone is changed anything. Needed the treble. | :30:58. | :31:05. | |
Oh, that's unlucky. He went for the 25 or bull. This has made it very | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
:31:15. | :31:39. | ||
Unbelievable. It is all square in sets. Remarkable! I'm sure every | :31:39. | :31:45. | |
single neutral is wearing orange now. That really did take so much | :31:45. | :31:55. | |
:31:55. | :32:30. | ||
have got to give them credit, both maximums so far. What's the record, | :32:30. | :32:40. | |
:32:40. | :32:40. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :32:40. | :33:53. | |
you say, 12? 12, in a five-set top, but still. A chancier... | :33:53. | :34:03. | |
:34:03. | :34:19. | ||
Double 18. Just when through the It is. He had a chance of going | :34:19. | :34:29. | |
:34:29. | :34:43. | ||
ahead in the match. That double 18 for Alan Norris giving him a break | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
of throw to start this final set with the momentum. But we have a | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
little problem with the scoreboard on stage. And that momentum is | :34:52. | :35:01. | |
being slowed down. The screens need resetting. And they have been reset. | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
The computer said no, the crowd shouted yes, and we can get on with | :35:05. | :35:15. | |
:35:15. | :35:15. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :35:15. | :36:07. | |
to ever come out of Belgium. Brilliant player. You never tried | :36:07. | :36:17. | |
:36:17. | :36:38. | ||
down. Why does he keep straying away from double top? Only Alan | :36:38. | :36:48. | |
:36:48. | :36:55. | ||
Norris knows. He went for the bull. Just to see if he could hit it! | :36:55. | :37:03. | |
That's in, and that's 2-0, and Alan Norris, once again, after missing a | :37:03. | :37:13. | |
:37:13. | :37:26. | ||
dart for the match in the previous he? I have not seen anything like | :37:26. | :37:34. | |
it for a long time, in the first round. I'm really pleased, Chuck's | :37:34. | :37:42. | |
such a nice guy. That average of 92, that the third highest of the week | :37:42. | :37:51. | |
so far, I think, behind Jan Dekker and Christian Kist. Yes! That gives | :37:51. | :37:59. | |
Benito van de Pas a bit of a chance. He's back in it. You have got to | :37:59. | :38:05. | |
give credit to this teenager. cannot check out here. No, not this | :38:05. | :38:15. | |
time. And Alan Norris is lurking. Can he do it?. Of course he can, | :38:15. | :38:25. | |
:38:25. | :38:38. | ||
but not on this occasion. He got really needed to get that one. | :38:38. | :38:48. | |
:38:48. | :39:05. | ||
done it again! It is remarkable, this. More reserves than Fort Knox, | :39:05. | :39:12. | |
this young Dutchman. And somehow he's finding great strength of | :39:12. | :39:21. | |
character. He has not got as many as Man United. They're all injured! | :39:21. | :39:29. | |
He has gone for 112, with a treble 19, treble 18, and single one. It | :39:29. | :39:39. | |
:39:39. | :39:49. | ||
lot of this lad, though. At 18, playing like this?! Every Dutchman | :39:49. | :39:59. | |
:39:59. | :39:59. | ||
that's been on the stage, I mean, last night, that was a spectacle, | :39:59. | :40:06. | |
Jan Dekker and Christian Kist. he needed a maximum! Chuck Norris | :40:06. | :40:14. | |
is on 170 again, and once more, he cannot find a treble. But still no | :40:14. | :40:24. | |
:40:24. | :40:35. | ||
alt shot for Benito. Oh, yes, left Norris, great character, great play | :40:35. | :40:41. | |
from the Englishman. He knocks out the courageous young Dutchman, who | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
really gave us a brilliant performance on debut. He will be | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
back, so will Chuck in the second back, so will Chuck in the second | :40:49. | :40:55. | |
round. That's what darts is all about. It is indeed, Bobby George, | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
he may befits the stereotypical image of a darts player, a big lad, | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
he likes a pint and he likes a laugh, but below the surface, there | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
is so much more to him. He travels the world, he knows four different | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
languages, he studies the game. He's quite an intelligent guy. He | :41:13. | :41:23. | |
:41:23. | :41:24. | ||
is not what he looks. Sorry, Mr Norris! Benito van de Pas was | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
watching those highlights from just behind us, it is quite awkward. | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
was absolutely gutted that he went out, but I don't think he did | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
himself any harm. He got to the semi-finals of the youth | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
championship, but he has proved he can hold his own with the seniors. | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
He has got a really bright future, if he keeps himself grounded. | :41:43. | :41:48. | |
Speaking to his mum, who's at every tournament with him, that grounding | :41:48. | :41:58. | |
:41:58. | :42:10. | ||
will be there. He has been brought And Alan Norris survived the | :42:11. | :42:17. | |
comeback, he did not show, that was comeback, he did not show, that was | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
what really impressed me. He's banging in the big scores as well. | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
Yes, eight 180s is great. He started off unbelievable, he really | :42:29. | :42:35. | |
played well, but the boy has got a lot of bottle, you can see that. | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
119 to save the fourth set, that was great. I think we will see a | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
lot of that young man. Let's stick with the victor from last night, | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
Alan Norris. When I arrived here this morning, not attorney, at | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
about 10am, Alan Norris was the first player in the bar, already | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
analysing his performance from last night, so let's get a synopsis from | :42:57. | :43:03. | |
him now, with Rob Walker. This man might not look like a 100 metres | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
sprinter, but last night, he was out of the blocks quicker than | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
Usain Bolt. You have been here a few times, but that was a | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
sensational way to start. Yes, could not have gone better, really. | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
Were you surprised at how well you played? I have been in good form | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
for the last remands. I'm comfortable at the Lakeside after a | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
few appearances. I was quite confident. Benito is still a | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
teenager, is it awkward playing somebody so young, because they | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
arrive without any fear? Yes, but Benito, he has got a lot of | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
experience on the circuit for young player. Really nice lad, we have | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
played a few times this year, he has beaten me up a few times, and | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
vice-versa. It was always going to be a tough game. What did you say | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
to each other at the end? You both contributed to making that a | :43:53. | :44:01. | |
fantastic atmosphere, and you gave it a big gesticulation at the end. | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
Yes, I was really happy. I said to him, his grandfather would be | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
really proud of him. His grandfather passed away a year to | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
the day that we played, so it was emotional for him. I said to him, | :44:14. | :44:23. | |
his biggest fan would be very proud of him. You hit eight 180s, is that | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
the best you have ever played at Lakeside? Yes, I hit more doubles | :44:29. | :44:34. | |
that 180s, which was better. But I have got really good scoring and | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
lost, it is not the high scoring, it is the doubles which count. | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
you feeling confident and loose after last night? I will take it | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
easy to date, have a few darts and prepare for tomorrow. Yes, | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
hopefully it will go the same way. Hopefully you can stay as relaxed | :44:56. | :44:58. | |
as you well this afternoon. Well done for last night, it was | :44:58. | :45:04. | |
fantastic to watch. Going back to what he said, we start with 32 | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
players, nine days, it is all over, so to be in-form is critical. | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
has been practising in Holland, which seems sensible at the moment. | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
I was speaking to Tony O'Shea about Alan Norris this morning, and he | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
said, that is the best I have seen him play. He said, I wish I could | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
say the same, he absolutely beat me up at the Zuiderduin Masters. The | :45:27. | :45:32. | |
only thing I don't like is when Alan Norris says, I hope I can | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
replicate that. He should be confident. And of course we will | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
not say who he has got in the second round, because we have not | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
shown the highlights of that one yet. We are going to move on to the | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
ladies now, and this is the strongest the ladies' game has ever | :45:47. | :45:54. | |
been, Bobby George? Yes, when we first started the tournament, years | :45:54. | :46:00. | |
ago, they were not really good, but now, they're really good players. | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
Over the last 10 years, the difference today is that they can | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
finish really good. They are not quite with the men, but they are | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
not far behind now. Get ready for some great finishing from the women. | :46:12. | :46:19. | |
We have already enjoyed the quarter-finals. The top half of the | :46:19. | :46:28. | |
draw saw the fourth seed, Lorraine Farlam, against Karen Lawman. | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
Meanwhile, Rhian Edwards was also on stage, who made the final two | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
years ago. It was Lorraine Farlam who won the first match up, in a | :46:37. | :46:47. | |
:46:47. | :46:48. | ||
really entertaining game. Despite high hopes, Lorraine Farlam had | :46:48. | :46:58. | |
:46:58. | :47:05. | ||
become a semi-finalist for the took out a 119 finish on her way to | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
a big win over Rhian Edwards. The Welsh girl had the consolation of | :47:11. | :47:21. | |
:47:21. | :47:21. | ||
taking out the highest ever check out in ladies' darts history, a 155. | :47:21. | :47:28. | |
Not enough for glory, though. Both seeds survive, so we have now got a | :47:28. | :47:35. | |
semi-final on Thursday which is just too close to call. Let's check | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
out the bottom half of the ladies, with the golden girl drawing the | :47:41. | :47:48. | |
Women's Masters champion of 2011, Lisa Ashton. Meanwhile, second seed | :47:48. | :47:58. | |
:47:58. | :48:04. | ||
Julie Gore meets Anastasia # Tell me, how long has it been | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
since you have been here? The last time I was he was 2008, so that's | :48:09. | :48:19. | |
:48:19. | :48:21. | ||
four years. I love it, it is like I never left. I really enjoy myself. | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
It is the World Championship, and I think it is always going to be | :48:25. | :48:31. | |
special for everyone. I just want to go on the stage, do what I do, | :48:31. | :48:40. | |
and enjoy myself again. My job was done because I put a lot of work | :48:40. | :48:45. | |
into it, a lot of effort, and I think I got what I deserved. After | :48:45. | :48:52. | |
I won at Lakeside, I got an offer from PDC to play against men in the | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
World Championship, and I could not say no, really. It was a lifetime | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
opportunity. I do not regret it one little bit. It has toughened me up | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
as a player. It has been a great experience. I would not change it | :49:06. | :49:16. | |
:49:16. | :49:23. | ||
for anything. I'm here now, and we it. But it this way, I have done my | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
job, I have done everything I had to do, and obviously you just have | :49:28. | :49:35. | |
to hope it pays off on the stage. dream return so far, it is the best | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
of three, and Anastasia Dobromyslova is one set up. We join | :49:39. | :49:49. | |
:49:49. | :49:49. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :49:49. | :50:51. | |
head start in every single leg so Anastasia Dobromyslova. 12 scores | :50:51. | :51:01. | |
:51:01. | :51:13. | ||
of 100 plus for the Russian. Just who has come better prepared, | :51:13. | :51:21. | |
looking for a battle, looking very fresh. I mentioned all those titles | :51:21. | :51:29. | |
since she returned to the BDO. can carry on dreaming there with | :51:29. | :51:39. | |
:51:39. | :51:39. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :51:39. | :52:52. | |
problem! As you mentioned, Tony, she really looks like she's on form, | :52:52. | :52:59. | |
and she means business. Awaiting her in the semi-finals, if she gets | :52:59. | :53:09. | |
:53:09. | :53:42. | ||
through, Trina Gulliver. This is tonight. Strange. She did not | :53:42. | :53:48. | |
struggle in the World Masters. such a good player, Julie Gore, but | :53:48. | :53:53. | |
she has not shown how best darts on the Lakeside stage. She has been | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
here four times before, and four times she has lost in the quarter- | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
finals. At the moment it is looking like five out of five. And that | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
does not help. Well, they have had the best order from the crowd, I | :54:09. | :54:18. | |
:54:19. | :54:31. | ||
will say that. There he is, big Robbo, from Ellesmere, I usually | :54:31. | :54:39. | |
call him Savage! Honestly, they could not look more like, could | :54:39. | :54:49. | |
:54:49. | :54:59. | ||
they, Robert Green and Robbie the time, and it was on my mind. | :54:59. | :55:09. | |
:55:09. | :55:09. | ||
You were voting for Robbie Savage, were you? I was, I rang in! Well, | :55:10. | :55:17. | |
we did have X Factor here at the darts, but no longer, Andy Boulton | :55:17. | :55:24. | |
losing in the first round in the men's draw. Nice finish, this, | :55:24. | :55:34. | |
:55:34. | :55:34. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :55:34. | :57:18. | |
treble 20 to leave 65. She went for as you want, but if you do not get | :57:18. | :57:28. | |
:57:28. | :57:29. | ||
between the tram lines... I think Julie Gore will be pleased to get | :57:29. | :57:39. | |
:57:39. | :58:19. | ||
would have been some way to finish. Two 140s in this leg, it is | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
excellent darts, from Anastasia Dobromyslova. I cannot see her | :58:24. | :58:34. | |
:58:34. | :58:44. | ||
missing this. It will be in double four when you come back, because | :58:44. | :58:54. | |
:58:54. | :59:08. | ||
place in the semi-finals. No, she is bust. She can finish on this one, | :59:08. | :59:14. | |
treble 18 first... Now, treble 20 would give her a shot at the bull | :59:14. | :59:21. | |
to save the match. Unfortunate. But there you go, Anastasia will be | :59:21. | :59:31. | |
:59:31. | :59:37. | ||
coming back. And double four for the match. It is there! First dart. | :59:37. | :59:43. | |
You have got to feel for Julie Gore, just never had it tonight. But | :59:43. | :59:53. | |
:59:53. | :00:02. | ||
there's the young lady, Anastasia, finals? Trina Gulliver has hit a | :00:02. | :00:11. | |
highs and lows, but she is determined to compete. We joined | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:23. | ||
the second set. This is fast bowling. Trina | :00:23. | :00:33. | |
:00:33. | :00:41. | ||
Gulliver looking for her 10th title. It is the best of five legs. In the | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
first set, both players had five darts at the double. Trina Gulliver | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
:00:59. | :01:37. | ||
converted three of those. That is a getting some great cheers. What a | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
champion he was. I will never forget it, tears flowing, everybody | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
standing. I am pleased to see he is back. He will be pleased to see | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
:01:59. | :02:12. | ||
getting one. The Viking looks on, Trina Gulliver marauding her way | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
:02:22. | :02:23. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :02:23. | :03:03. | |
towards the semi-finals. She missed Gulliver. This is unbelievable, we | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
have seen the men missing all the doubles repeatedly, this young lady | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
:03:17. | :03:18. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :03:18. | :03:58. | |
is doing well. Four out of seven, strongest women's field ever | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
:04:08. | :04:25. | ||
assembled at Lakeside. She is detect month. -- Dita. She is | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
:04:35. | :04:35. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :04:35. | :05:59. | |
could use the eight teams for this Double top... 6 darts list for a | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
:06:09. | :06:09. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :06:09. | :07:05. | |
double. Lisa Ashton wins. Game, goal. She has been playing darts at | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:37. | ||
since 1983. She has been that the wind in Hull against Trina | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
:07:47. | :08:27. | ||
Gulliver will give her confidence. Gulliver. She has nine darts. Trina | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
:08:37. | :08:42. | ||
Gulliver is coming back, 170. the wrong side of the treble 20 | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
:08:52. | :08:52. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :08:52. | :10:04. | |
wire. Again, the wrong side of the Game, shot and the leg, Trina | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
:10:14. | :10:20. | ||
Gulliver. Game on. That has probably decided the match. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
used all three darts, but her adjustment was absolutely brilliant. | :10:27. | :10:37. | |
:10:37. | :10:54. | ||
Lisa Ashton is on the threshold. is throwing for the match, and how | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:29. | ||
Lisa Ashton had hit one of those doubles. She would be leading 2-1 | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:59. | ||
in the set. She would be thinking Gulliver is throwing like a | :11:59. | :12:09. | |
:12:09. | :12:44. | ||
champion. She has got a shot for the bull's-eye. That would have | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
saved the match. This is the double she is hitting. This one is for the | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
:13:04. | :13:14. | ||
match. Trina Gulliver wins the match! She kept us waiting but she | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
is on the road to the 10th title. What about this for a semi-final | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:33. | ||
line-up? Trina Gulliver has been sharing her thoughts on a week of | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
extreme emotions on and off the oche. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
If you ask any player what is the difficult match in a Championship, | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
they will say the first match. After that, it remains difficult. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
We have the defending champion from the women's Championship. Are you | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
glad to be in the semi-finals? I am. The first one is always difficult. | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
I am glad to get through it. Your mother sadly passed away before you | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
came down to the Lakeside. Darts is a very lonely sport when you are up | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
on the oche and everyone is watching you. Is it even more | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
difficult? Definitely, although my mother did not make it to the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
championships last year because she was poorly. It is even more so this | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
year because she has passed away. Nobody wants to lose their parents, | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
but I am fulfilling her wish. She wanted me to defend the title, and | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
she told me to defend it wherever she was. You're wearing your | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
mother's wedding ring around your neck. My sister and brother gave it | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
to me. She has been with you and she is still with you for this | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Championship. She always says she was on my shoulder, and I always | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
told her to sit on my left shoulder and not my right shoulder. How much | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
did it mean having your mother in the audience? | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
Fantastic. Everybody says their mother is the best but my mother | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
was an amazing lady. Absolutely. She was brave until the end. | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
will miss her dreadfully. Was it vastly different playing in the | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
first round match this time? Did you think about it? Of course will | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
stop -- of course. My head was all over the place. It was only two | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
days before the tournament that she died. I did not think I could cope | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
with it. But I am doing it for my mother, so I had to be brave. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
are through to the semi-finals, it does not get any easier. You will | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
be playing the woman that an ID the Championship before. I think this | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
is the strongest field it has ever been. Whoever you play will be | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:34. | ||
difficult. Hopefully it will be my 10th title. The perfect 10. Keep | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
smiling and good luck. Thank you. How difficult is it up there, when | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :17:01. | ||
you have personal staff? -- stuff. He -- it can play on your mind. | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:11. | ||
she is concentrating on the game. She will have to it. Anastasia | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
Dobromyslova I is a lovely player. She can finish well, both girls are | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
good finishers. That is the difference. Years ago, Trina | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
Gulliver could get away with playing easy. But it is really | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :17:39. | ||
difficult. It will be a very even game. How are you doing left the | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
surname question mac I cannot say it, I just say anaesthesia. | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :18:00. | ||
Anastasia. I have had it wrong three times as well. | :18:00. | :18:10. | |
:18:10. | :18:16. | ||
England encounters. The Ross England encounters. The Ross | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
Montgomery match is the pick of the Games. It is at Battle of Britain. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Tony O'Shea could not be more patriotic. He has the Union Jack on | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
his dart. What have you been doing since Saturday? You got the job | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :18:47. | ||
done at 3pm. I was celebrating on Saturday, Sunday I was practising. | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
I get into the routine. Rectus, -- breakfast, practice, it can get a | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
bit boring. Were you happy with the quality of your performance on | :19:03. | :19:13. | |
Saturday? I was pleased with most of it. I was quite pleased after | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
the game, obviously it was a difficult opponent. You have the | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
first round out of the way, now it gets more serious. Ross Montgomery | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
arrives with some pretty good form. You will always get the same with | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
Frost. He is a great player. I have never seen him play badly. I will | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
need to be my best. How much confidence the take from the fact | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
that you have gone all the way to the final? This is a special | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
tournament, I know I can do it again, I know I can win it. It is | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
just doing it all in one week. That is the difficult thing. Now we have | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
completed the first round, who has impressed to the most? All the | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
debutants have played fantastically. Jan Dekker and Christian Kist put | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
on a great show. Gary Stone did not look like he had a nerve in his | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
body. Maybe adrenalin got that. Now the competition starts. We will see | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:41. | ||
how he does in the second round. Highlights of the night's second- | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
round matches on tonight. Now we will look at last night's remaining | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
first-round matches. Tony West lost his darts just before this match. | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:05. | ||
Not ideal preparation to take on Geert De Vos. He took the first set. | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
:21:15. | :21:15. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :21:15. | :22:31. | |
Geert De Vos. He took the first set. his throat. No problem. -- hold his | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:59. | ||
Green offered him his. His first three was 180. He knew he would be | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
:23:09. | :23:10. | ||
OK from then on. I saw Tony West at the concessions stand thinking | :23:10. | :23:20. | |
:23:20. | :23:31. | ||
West did not like his flight. Bobby George said he could change them. | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:42. | ||
In the end, he settled on the Tony Martin said. -- set. There is a | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
:23:52. | :23:56. | ||
little delay while the flight is looks a little down on himself for | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
a man making his debut and who is one set up. I think he realises he | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:13. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :24:13. | :25:11. | |
comfortable 40. He was heading back for a break. This was a bonus. He | :25:11. | :25:21. | |
:25:21. | :25:29. | ||
levels the set. 180! That will do for a 180 to start the match. The | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
:25:39. | :25:42. | ||
rally cry of the Lakeside before. Tony West is up for a game tonight. | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
:25:52. | :26:04. | ||
Can you repeat it? No. That is his crowd as well. They have come over | :26:05. | :26:14. | |
:26:15. | :26:35. | ||
desolate. He has set himself some high standards. He needs to stop | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :26:47. | ||
reacting to every dart. Plenty of time for Tony West. That was for | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
:26:57. | :27:07. | ||
the set. He could do with filling West. Game, shot and the leg, Tony | :27:07. | :27:17. | |
:27:17. | :27:26. | ||
the players. Geert De Vos was looking really down on himself | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
towards the end of that second set, as he had a chance to pull himself | :27:30. | :27:40. | |
together and realised that he is doing OK? He was a different man in | :27:40. | :27:50. | |
:27:50. | :27:50. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :27:50. | :28:33. | |
little bit annoyed as he throws the pressure. Double top... Under no | :28:33. | :28:43. | |
:28:43. | :28:46. | ||
pressure. Game, shot and the leg, Geert De Vos. Geert De Vos has | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
opened up the match. The key to this Belgian's performance is, if | :28:50. | :28:57. | |
he can score well enough that he does not feel the pressure, he will | :28:57. | :29:05. | |
be OK. It is how he reacts, he needs to go into the trenches and | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
find some reserves. The worry if you are Belgian or supporting the | :29:12. | :29:22. | |
:29:22. | :29:41. | ||
Belgian, is that attitude in the doubt. 180! He is holding his own | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
at this stage. Now Tony West is asking himself a few questions. He | :29:49. | :29:59. | |
:29:59. | :30:13. | ||
is not finding any answers. This is keeps starting off nicely but not | :30:13. | :30:23. | |
:30:23. | :30:24. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :30:24. | :31:34. | |
Geert De Vos. Third leg, it is who live in Holland, the | :31:34. | :31:40. | |
international flavour of this World Championship. And some great young | :31:40. | :31:50. | |
:31:50. | :31:50. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :31:50. | :32:45. | |
Geert De Vos now has 99 for it. has opted for the 19 first. Two ..S | :32:45. | :32:55. | |
:32:55. | :32:59. | ||
will win it for him. Oh, he has done it! Brilliant stuff. What a | :32:59. | :33:05. | |
lovely way to do it. Fourth set, first leg, Tony to throw first. | :33:05. | :33:15. | |
:33:15. | :33:15. | ||
Game on. It takes some bottle to go double top, double top, but it is | :33:15. | :33:22. | |
an eminently sensible thing to do. You have got a bigger target area, | :33:22. | :33:28. | |
so why not? And if the first one goes in, you can just follow it in. | :33:28. | :33:35. | |
Which is exactly what he did. The counter-argument is that you're | :33:35. | :33:41. | |
normally aiming at the treble 20, so you're used to it by that stage. | :33:41. | :33:51. | |
:33:51. | :34:11. | ||
But he likes a double top does de growing first in it. But this leg | :34:11. | :34:21. | |
:34:21. | :34:22. | ||
is anyone's. Both on 242 after nine darts. De Vos can reach a finish | :34:23. | :34:32. | |
:34:33. | :35:10. | ||
not far away. And Tony West also needed double side, and he was | :35:10. | :35:17. | |
underneath it. So, nine, double eight, for a break at the start of | :35:17. | :35:27. | |
:35:27. | :35:27. | ||
the fourth set. Which way does he go? He has gone for the 17, double | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
:35:37. | :35:40. | ||
four. Double two, there you go. First leg, Geert De Vos! Four legs | :35:40. | :35:46. | |
in a row. Ladies and gentlemen, please do not call-out whilst the | :35:46. | :35:56. | |
:35:56. | :35:57. | ||
players are about to throw. Geert to throw first, came on. De Vos | :35:57. | :36:07. | |
:36:07. | :36:09. | ||
holds twice and he's through. Not a bad way to start. Shake of the head | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
from Tony West. It is that stage in the match where Tony West will | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
start to think, everything's against me, it is not going to Be | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
My Night. I wonder if he's still thinking back to the two bull's- | :36:26. | :36:35. | |
eyes that he hit, when he wanted one of them to be in the 25. Yes, | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
that was just plain unlucky. Lovely cover on the bull's-eye there from | :36:41. | :36:51. | |
:36:51. | :37:06. | ||
does it matter? No, not when West is growing like this, it doesn't. | :37:06. | :37:13. | |
He has got at least six starts. I did not really think that he was | :37:13. | :37:19. | |
going to need more than one of them. And it is now the 11th seed, Tony | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
:37:29. | :37:58. | ||
West, staring down the barrel of the referee, it is spraying from | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
side to side, it is not going my way. And fly To the referee, he did | :38:03. | :38:13. | |
:38:13. | :38:14. | ||
not really give him an answer. That's more like it. He's such a | :38:14. | :38:24. | |
:38:24. | :38:24. | ||
naturally talented darts player, Tony West. It is the sort of leg de | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
Vos could have taken advantage of, but he seems to have gone on | :38:27. | :38:33. | |
holiday. I don't think it matters, to be honest. He has got the darts | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
in his hand in the very next leg. And even if Tony West can find | :38:38. | :38:43. | |
something, he has still got another chance, even if he loses this set. | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
The momentum is all with the man from Belgium. Not in this leg, and | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
I always feel it is a dangerous game deciding almost to let a leg | :38:57. | :39:07. | |
:39:07. | :39:36. | ||
pass you by. He's just taking a West. It was only a matter of time | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
before Tony West found the double. This is where or the good players | :39:41. | :39:49. | |
will open up with at least a 140. That's proper darts, that is, he | :39:49. | :39:59. | |
:39:59. | :39:59. | ||
has given himself the breather, he has saved it for this, and he's now | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
starting to bully Tony West, on a stage that he owns at the moment, | :40:03. | :40:10. | |
on his very first appearance. they call it tanking in tennis, and | :40:10. | :40:20. | |
:40:20. | :40:20. | ||
this is fantastic from de Vos, you have to applaud this. I don't know | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
if it is a tank, or just some rapid artillery, but de Vos is taking | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
:40:35. | :40:46. | ||
control. Although, he only got 56 be first to leave the finish, but | :40:46. | :40:54. | |
what kind of finish? DAVID CROFT: Well, not a good one, | :40:54. | :41:02. | |
to be honest. Starting to feel some pressure in his elbow now. These | :41:02. | :41:12. | |
:41:12. | :41:15. | ||
darts for the match. DAVID CROFT: That's a lovely first | :41:15. | :41:21. | |
dart. Oh, unlucky. That was the chance, he knows it, Dad knows it | :41:21. | :41:31. | |
:41:31. | :41:50. | ||
but that's the hardest one, he knows it. He has lost his compass, | :41:50. | :42:00. | |
:42:00. | :42:02. | ||
he's lost his way. Are we going to be losing both West brothers in the | :42:02. | :42:10. | |
first round at the Lakeside? Double 10... And that's what we needed, | :42:11. | :42:19. | |
third time lucky!! How they love that. Geert De Vos has knocked out | :42:19. | :42:26. | |
the number 11 seed. Bring on the Belgians! Just not short of | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
confidence at all. Fantastic to see. It was a really impressive debut | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
from the boy. A lot of bottle, some courageous checkouts as well. A | :42:36. | :42:46. | |
:42:46. | :42:47. | ||
thoroughly professional job on Tony West. I have done this many years | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
ago, double top, double top, in the Masters. They said, it is | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
showboating. I said, it is a bigger target. But you have got to have | :42:57. | :43:03. | |
the bottle to go straight at it. You cannot go, down a bit, a bit. | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
Once you have got the first one in, Once you have got the first one in, | :43:07. | :43:09. | |
then you just follow it. That's with two darts in your hand, not | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
free. What about the man who comes here from Belgian, one debut, and | :43:15. | :43:21. | |
has the bottle to do it? That's right. I bet he did not like that, | :43:21. | :43:28. | |
Tony West. But he played quite well as well in that match. Tony O'Shea | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
says he has had the same set of darts for 16 years. Other's craft | :43:33. | :43:39. | |
their own, Kaino you do it. To lose them, it must be terrible. No, but | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
you should have several sets, really. I have a set in each car, | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
in case I take my other car. It does not cost you, the | :43:48. | :43:56. | |
manufacturers give you whatever you want. So, one in the murk, what -- | :43:56. | :44:06. | |
:44:06. | :44:11. | ||
one in the Bentley? One in the Anglia! If this is what Belgium is | :44:11. | :44:17. | |
going to give us in the game of darts, absolutely love it. Greatest | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
Belgian sporting extrovert since the bloke who used to pull jumbo | :44:21. | :44:28. | |
jets with his teeth. Before we look at last night's match with Dean | :44:28. | :44:35. | |
Winstanley, I just went to take the air, and two Scotsman, Ross | :44:35. | :44:42. | |
Montgomery and Gary Stone, sharing a room, and pumping out of the room | :44:42. | :44:48. | |
is Flower of Scotland. It is wonderful stuff. I love that | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
Scotland-England thing, because my memory is growing up as well, Eric | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
Bristow and Jocky Wilson, it divided the nation. It is brilliant, | :44:56. | :45:02. | |
and you will get that tonight, with Martin Adams' match. I think was | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
Montgomerie is helping Gary Stone this weekend, and Gary Stone is | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
helping Ross Montgomery. They're two really good mates, and they're | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
helping each other. Now, to the last first-round game from last | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
night, so we can complete the picture, it is the man who made his | :45:19. | :45:24. | |
debut last year, and reached the final. Dean Winstanley was born for | :45:24. | :45:34. | |
:45:34. | :45:44. | ||
the Lakeside, but can he go one COMMENTATOR: Once again, he is the | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
champion of the world. He was pushed so, so hard by a brilliant | :45:48. | :45:57. | |
performance from Dean Winstanley. We had this conversation, and I did | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
have him, I did have him shaking, and he will not disagree to that. I | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
can honestly say I had him, but the better man won on the day, that's | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
why he's world number 1 and world champion. This year, I need a kick | :46:10. | :46:16. | |
up the backside, I need to get that fire again. I want it so bad, but I | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
need that adrenalin. I'm hoping it is going to come Monday. The | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
scoring I'm hoping is going to be the key. The doubles, I'm | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
struggling. I just hope it has been a minor glitch, because I have not | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
had the pressure. I'm hoping the pressure will bring it into | :46:34. | :46:42. | |
perspective. If I can keep myself calm, I think I will be all right. | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
He's a good player, a fast player. That's what you get from the Dutch | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
players. But I am not going to go to his pace, then he knows that. He | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
will either have to sit back and wait or come down to my level. It | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
will be a really good game, I think. I'm in a better frame of mind, I'm | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
learning to control things a lot better. The main thing now, the | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
head is fine, it is just getting this bit right, that 5% is in this | :47:08. | :47:18. | |
:47:18. | :47:20. | ||
hand. If it all comes together, I will be all right. The man they | :47:20. | :47:30. | |
:47:30. | :47:30. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :47:30. | :49:09. | |
called Over the Top, England's Dean he's one set up and one leg up as | :49:09. | :49:19. | |
:49:19. | :49:36. | ||
not seen any accounting problems. And I'm sure that lad, when he gets | :49:36. | :49:43. | |
back to school, will not have any accounting problems as well. | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
VASSOS ALEXANDER: A few years ago, the Government had an initiative, | :49:47. | :49:57. | |
:49:57. | :50:11. | ||
getting people counting at school currently throwing, not known as | :50:11. | :50:18. | |
the greatest counter on the circuit. DAVID CROFT: He's getting better, | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
though. And his darts have been getting better as well, since we | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
last saw him here at the Lakeside. He got through to the final of the | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
World Masters, lost out to Scott Waites, but did well to get that | :50:31. | :50:38. | |
far. He did well in the Grand Slam as well. And there's Joey ten | :50:38. | :50:43. | |
Berge's wife now, new wife, they went to the Caribbean to get | :50:43. | :50:53. | |
:50:53. | :51:17. | ||
and once again, he cannot get down to a double. This might be a fifth | :51:17. | :51:27. | |
:51:27. | :51:28. | ||
leg in a row. There you are. Game and second leg, Dean Winstanley! | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
is just like shelling peas, isn't it? It isn't so easy so far for | :51:34. | :51:44. | |
:51:44. | :52:00. | ||
Dean Winstanley, this. 5 legs and Winstanley would be good, even if | :52:00. | :52:06. | |
your opponent was getting chances. It would be the last thing will | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
Joey ten Berge would have practised before he came out on stage. By the | :52:10. | :52:20. | |
:52:20. | :52:22. | ||
time he does eventually get a double, he will have forgotten! | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
Good cover from Joey ten Berge. The damage is being done at the start | :52:26. | :52:36. | |
:52:36. | :53:02. | ||
second set. The referee just of miscounted, did not give Joey ten | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
Berge as much as he should have done, and he needs all the help he | :53:06. | :53:16. | |
:53:16. | :53:42. | ||
Another bull's-eye... For the set. For a sixth leg in a row. The angle | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
was not there for him, really, it would have been a great show | :53:45. | :53:55. | |
:53:55. | :53:56. | ||
stopper. This, to stop Dean Winstanley... Oh, he's not going to | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
come that much closer to getting a shot at a double. Just the wrong | :54:01. | :54:11. | |
:54:11. | :54:13. | ||
side of the treble 18. Now, Dean Winstanley wants double 15. That | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
was a great market, but this is what happens with Dean Winstanley, | :54:17. | :54:24. | |
he will give you a chance. He's going to have a dart at a double. | :54:24. | :54:34. | |
:54:34. | :54:35. | ||
And another. He has done it! He will hit one! Barely a flicker of | :54:35. | :54:44. | |
emotion on the wife's face. It is an important leg to win, that. He's | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
a set down, two legs to one down, but he has just broken the throw. | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
For all his problems in the first five legs, he could yet go in one | :54:56. | :55:06. | |
:55:06. | :55:33. | ||
apiece at the break at the end of this set. This is more like it from | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
Joey ten Berge. Nice rhythm, he just looked so much more | :55:38. | :55:48. | |
:55:48. | :56:13. | ||
comfortable than that first dart think he should, to be honest. | :56:13. | :56:21. | |
Treble seven, that really was not what he was after. Joey ten Berge | :56:21. | :56:27. | |
levels it up in this set. Fifth leg, Dean Winstanley to throw first, | :56:27. | :56:37. | |
:56:37. | :57:03. | ||
this match. That was an important break of throw. Joey ten Berge got | :57:03. | :57:07. | |
in there, but he has got to do it again, that's the problem for him | :57:07. | :57:17. | |
:57:17. | :57:34. | ||
But that lacked the rhythm, the fluency that we saw when he got the | :57:34. | :57:40. | |
180 in the previous leg. And that in turn seems to have given Dean | :57:40. | :57:50. | |
:57:50. | :57:52. | ||
Winstanley his confidence back. That's the last thing you need. | :57:52. | :58:02. | |
:58:02. | :58:22. | ||
now, Dean Winstanley has at least four set darts. Here comes number | :58:22. | :58:32. | |
:58:32. | :58:39. | ||
five. That's a nice little marker. He goes for the double five. And he | :58:39. | :58:49. | |
:58:49. | :58:53. | ||
takes a two set to zero lead. now, it's the Dutchman, 26-year-old | :58:53. | :58:58. | |
Joey ten Berge, the Entertainer, who has it all to do. It has been | :58:59. | :59:08. | |
:59:09. | :59:11. | ||
done before, to come back from 2-0 down, on the Lakeside stage. | :59:11. | :59:18. | |
will never know if Joey ten Berge would have taken out the finish had | :59:18. | :59:23. | |
Dean Winstanley missed that double five. But it was a cracking dart | :59:23. | :59:33. | |
:59:33. | :00:06. | ||
that second set, and he's not The nine darts in the set so far. | :00:06. | :00:16. | |
:00:16. | :00:21. | ||
This is sport 11 Daks. -- for 11 darts. Joey ten Berge is not out of | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
:00:31. | :00:52. | ||
Winstanley. He has broken it straight away. The scoring was so | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:36. | ||
heavy in that light, he could should be OK because it is next to | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :02:14. | ||
Berge. Dean Winstanley has already taken out 160 but he will not do it | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
on this occasion. The Dutchman will hit straight back. Plenty of | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
:02:29. | :03:00. | ||
Berge go. That is probably the best here to support her best friend. | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
Anastasia Dobromyslova, the Russian who now lives on Merseyside. Former | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
champion here of course. She is back with the BDO and playing some | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
:03:25. | :04:03. | ||
to get the maximum. -- 180. Joey ten Berge does not respond with | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
:04:13. | :04:32. | ||
enough. It is double top for 115. No! He needs the treble 20s. Will | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:46. | ||
it be double 10? He is struggling on that. He has got his struggles. | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :05:01. | ||
That might have hit the flight. He has missed double 109 times. -- | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
double 10 9 times. The at was a chance to hold his | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
:05:17. | :05:31. | ||
Winstanley. What a game this is turning out to be. Three breaks of | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
throw. Dean Winstanley is one leg away from taking the match. | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
Throwing first. Joey ten Berge staring at his | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
:05:57. | :06:00. | ||
shoelaces. I am sure he can almost feel the stayer coming from his | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
:06:10. | :06:35. | ||
leapt up. He fails to hit a treble, and all the sudden, a Joey ten | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
:06:45. | :07:00. | ||
often see that. This is no ordinary leg of darts. Dean Winstanley feels | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
the weight of expectation. He is trying to justify his great | :07:09. | :07:19. | |
:07:19. | :07:25. | ||
performance from 12 months ago. That is brilliant. 180. He will | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
feel he needs to take this out. He cannot. Dean Winstanley, 66 points | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
:07:45. | :08:00. | ||
away from the match. For the match. He keeps us waiting. Two darts to | :08:00. | :08:10. | |
:08:10. | :08:45. | ||
save his skin. He has done it! This 180. Has the whole match hinged on | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
:08:55. | :08:57. | ||
the single throw? Slightly Swan. Joey ten Berge needs more | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
consistency. Dean Winstanley has slowed down his scoring and started | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
missing more doubles. It gave the Dutchman the opportunity. He did | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
not raise his game hugely, but we know the potential is there. He | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
:09:31. | :09:35. | ||
just has to hold his throw. He will not finish this time, but he will | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
:09:45. | :10:25. | ||
partner still cannot smile. Game, double for five legs, but he did | :10:25. | :10:34. | |
not have one. That 50 % is excellent. Dean Winstanley, when he | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :11:01. | ||
has gone away from the double top, this set to start three out of the | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
:11:11. | :11:25. | ||
he is to force a deciding set. managed it twice in the previous | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
set. He would have had rescued adrenalin surge when he hit that | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
dark to win the set. -- hit back dart. Now he asked to gather | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
:11:50. | :12:25. | ||
The maximum is all the sweeter when your opponent fails to find a | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
:12:35. | :12:38. | ||
treble. The newly found six out of six. -- he nearly found. He will | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
not have many better opportunities because there was plenty of room. | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
:12:55. | :13:25. | ||
Joey ten Berge. That was his highest checkout of the match. 12 | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
:13:36. | :13:40. | ||
darts. Can he do it against the Dean Winstanley throw? He can with | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
:13:50. | :13:52. | ||
darts like that. 180. He has walk- in Dean Winstanley up, who gets no | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
:14:02. | :14:04. | ||
big deflection, just a big reaction. -- he has woken. That big reaction | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
seemed to put Joey ten Berge off his first dart. He snatched at it. | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:19. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :14:19. | :15:08. | |
He still leads the break. Dean times now. He needed treble 17. | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:23. | ||
Dean Winstanley has a lot of pressure. The double five was | :15:23. | :15:33. | |
:15:33. | :15:37. | ||
waiting. Another big sigh of relief. Once again, Dean Winstanley needs | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
:15:47. | :15:47. | ||
one more like to take the match. -- leg. Remember he has missed the | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
dart for the match. Even if he fails to break here, he will have | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:14. | ||
the darts in the next leg. Joey ten Berge can a buyer treble. -- cannot | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
:16:24. | :16:58. | ||
called that as 57, it look like 40. Dean Winstanley is telling him he | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
:17:08. | :17:09. | ||
only got 40. He should be applauded for that. If you ever want an | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
example of sportsmanship of the highest quality, look no further | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
than what Dean Winstanley has just done there. Brilliant. Joey ten | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:27. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :17:27. | :18:12. | |
Winstanley. This is for the match. He went for treble 15. For the | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
:18:22. | :18:34. | ||
match. He has missed another one. Joey ten Berge says the match again. | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:55. | ||
It is 2-2. Dean Winstanley has missed three doubles for the match. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Good way to start when you are throwing for the match. Dean | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
:19:09. | :19:14. | ||
Winstanley is feeling the heat. Through force of mind he manages to | :19:15. | :19:24. | |
:19:25. | :19:43. | ||
get the third dart into the red it. Herculean from here. He needs to | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
break to stay in the match. Dean Winstanley will be on a finish when | :19:52. | :20:02. | |
:20:02. | :20:18. | ||
it through but we have seen some twists so far. He went for the | :20:18. | :20:28. | |
:20:28. | :20:31. | ||
bull's-eye. Why did he do that? She cannot work out why he did not go | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :20:41. | ||
for the 10th. He had at least six darts for the match, he finally | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
gets it. Last year's beaten finalist is through to the last 16. | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
David Croft, you were in the commentary box, his expression, he | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
seems to have put lot of pressure on his own shoulders. I think he | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
does. He knows he could have done better, he finished up as the | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
nearly man at the World Masters, he wants to prove he has it in him to | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
be a champion. We saw performances that mean he could be a champion. | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
Some big scores, but why is he getting involved, mucking around | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
with the crowd? If you have got the score, go for it. The double top is | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
interesting. His Dean Winstanley's weakness and strength one and the | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
same? He asked of think about it. He is a very good darts player, his | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
counting is not great, but to his credit, he is getting better. He | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
does not feel the pressure going for double top, but with double 10, | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
:22:08. | :22:11. | ||
he feels the pressure. He has got through to the second round, and | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
the bottom half of the draw is now complete. Ted Hankey versus Scott | :22:17. | :22:27. | |
:22:27. | :22:31. | ||
Waites could be anything. Your guess is as good as ours. The | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
battle debutants. Two fearless young men with very good average. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Alan Norris is in sparkling form and he is playing against Dean | :22:44. | :22:53. | |
Winstanley. Just a quick reminder of the top half. Gary Stone faces | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
:23:03. | :23:04. | ||
Martin Adams. On Saturday, this man conquered his nurse on the big | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
stage. Yesterday, he was calm as anything. Is it different now that | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
you are a few hours away from your second round match? Not at all, | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
playing the defending champion on his own backyard, everything to | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
gain, nothing to lose. I am quite happy to do the same. How are you | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
able to stay so calm? You only started playing darts four times, | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
by which time Wolfie had won a world title. I think that helps, I | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
am not worried about the game. It is a dream come true for me, I have | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
played Martin Adams that many times in the back room, now I will do it | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
on the real stage. I cannot wait. What will you do over the next few | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
hours? Is there time for a sleek, or will you be practising until the | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
match? Me and My Friend Ross Montgomery, we have travelled a lot | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Montgomery, we have travelled a lot together, it helps having him there. | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
We will prepare together, throw up the board for the next hour-and-a- | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
half, get a good dinner ready for tonight. I suspect you have had | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
text messages wishing you luck. support in Scotland is unbelievable. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
There is only two of us from Scotland, the support is | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
unbelievable. It has been brilliant. You look very relaxed. We hope it | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
is a great occasion. He asked to be ready for this man, | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
on a hat-trick. You have to a plot the young debutants coming in and | :24:55. | :25:05. | |
showing no fear. -- applaud. They have done really well. We have seen | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
guys fail miserably before, but they have held it together and | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
played well. There is a whole list of them. Gary Stone has been | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
wrapping up the rhetoric, playing the Scottish National Anthem. It is | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
a proper England versus Scotland battle. I had not even thought | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
:25:40. | :25:41. | ||
about it! Will that the extra motivation for you? England versus | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
Scotland games are always full of excitement, so it will be a good | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
game. I know that your preparation is as low key as anybody, and it | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
has done you so well. Have you got the dartboard up in the bedroom? | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:07. | ||
Absolutely. You are in your hotel room for most of the game. | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
Absolutely, that is where I do most of my practice. You can practise | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
down here but I find it too distracting. If something is going | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
wrong, you cannot always concentrate down here. This man is | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
addicted to tea. The kettle is never off. Let us see what you can | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
brew up tonight. What have you tried to put right that was not | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
going right again Scott Mitchell? It was not a comfortable win. | :26:44. | :26:53. | |
was too many straight darts. I have been finding they are not always | :26:53. | :27:03. | |
:27:03. | :27:05. | ||
way you think they are. You are usually dead straight. Things were | :27:05. | :27:13. | |
not going normally. Have you got the shakes because you have not had | :27:13. | :27:21. | |
a cup of tea for some sets? Looking at the draw, there was a lot of | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
unknown entities, but the last 16 in the second round, it is very | :27:25. | :27:32. | |
exciting. There are stories all over the place. Debutants wanting | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
to make a name for themselves. It is shaping up to be very strong. | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
think the new guys will perform very well, but the old guard will | :27:42. | :27:50. | |
still be battling. Hopefully I will get through. You watch Christian | :27:50. | :28:00. | |
Kist in the first round, the highest average so far. You want | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
them in the other half of the draw, if they are playing really well. | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
Are you looking at the final yet, or do you ignore it? It is game by | :28:12. | :28:19. | |
game, match-by-match. There is no point looking forward, if you do | :28:20. | :28:26. |
