Day 3

:00:34. > :00:40.It's Monday afternoon and for the first time our weekday coverage of

:00:41. > :00:44.the B dsmt DO championships shall feature live darts all the way

:00:45. > :00:49.rather than the usual highlights. Well done to those who have stiefed

:00:50. > :01:02.off work to be at the Lakeside today. Isn't life so wonderful for

:01:03. > :01:07.you? Lovely-jjubbly, mate. 700 people have turned up. Amazing.

:01:08. > :01:11.I know there's a recession on, or whatever. I don't know what sort of

:01:12. > :01:16.job they do. Not much today! They have turned up. It is filling up

:01:17. > :01:25.nicely. It is unusual for us to play weekdays. We do it weekends, but not

:01:26. > :01:30.in the week. Now, if you didn't want to open at the weekend, we had some

:01:31. > :01:37.fun down Frimley Green. Last year's champion, who many

:01:38. > :01:42.fancied to defend his title didn't manage a single set. He lost to this

:01:43. > :01:48.man, who was boss of the match from start to finish.

:01:49. > :01:57.The 2012 champion, Christian Kist, had better luck. He had to deal with

:01:58. > :02:04.the crowd who backed our first Japanese player.

:02:05. > :02:11.Three-time champion Martin Adams has been struggling. He found his form

:02:12. > :02:19.and made it through his qualifier against David Cameron.

:02:20. > :02:25.In the lady's draw Trina will not make it ten titles after a fine

:02:26. > :02:30.display from the Dutch girl. But the defending champion,

:02:31. > :02:35.Anastasia Dobromyslova, did squeak through to the quarter-finals. She

:02:36. > :02:41.made hard work of it against Karin Krappen. Yesterday, we saw Robbie

:02:42. > :02:46.Green put in a brilliant performance to knock George out in straight

:02:47. > :02:51.sets. They have played the best darts.

:02:52. > :02:55.They've had 95 averages, which is a good standard. Finished well, scored

:02:56. > :03:03.well. They are the best two players at the moment. We are waiting to see

:03:04. > :03:07.the number one seed. Keep forgetting about Bunting! Tony O'Shea, who

:03:08. > :03:13.everyone wishes to win this. And James Wilson as well. I am

:03:14. > :03:16.seeing Wade and not that many consistent performances. They will

:03:17. > :03:21.think, I've got a chance here. Haven't really had great darts.

:03:22. > :03:26.We've been Mickey Mouse with some of the players. You have some of the

:03:27. > :03:30.guys coming up now, we know them. If you know them, you know how they

:03:31. > :03:34.perform. When you get guys from other countries, you don't know who

:03:35. > :03:37.they are. You'll get some up and down. They must think they have half

:03:38. > :03:39.a chance watching the games we have seen already. We have three matches

:03:40. > :03:51.for you this afternoon on BBC Two. We are going one step beyond, with

:03:52. > :03:57.the one and only Darryl Fitton. A Lakeside regular, who either goes

:03:58. > :04:01.out in round one or goes deep. He takes on the affable Tony Eccles,

:04:02. > :04:05.who went out in the first round in his first five appearances at the

:04:06. > :04:09.Lakeside, but eventually found his feet.

:04:10. > :04:14.And we have had David Cameron, why not have Paul Hogan. Crocodile

:04:15. > :04:21.Dundee from basing stoke. Back for the first time in seven years. And

:04:22. > :04:26.an exciting all-Dutch affair - it is the Jacket against Benito van de Pas

:04:27. > :04:32.for a place in the last 16. Bobby, I think I have developed an

:04:33. > :04:40.unhealthy obsession with Darryl Fitton - it is feast or famine. He

:04:41. > :04:46.either goes out early or goes deep. He's been unlucky with the draw a

:04:47. > :04:51.lot of the times. He gets knocked out by the winner. He is a bit

:04:52. > :04:55.unlucky. I don't think he'll have that problem this time, personally.

:04:56. > :05:00.The first time on a regular work day we've had darts here. You want to

:05:01. > :05:09.get people go - he's the perfect man for the job. Fit fit has the shades

:05:10. > :05:14.-- Fitton has the shades ready. I am sitting next to Darryl Fitton.

:05:15. > :05:18.The crowd go mad when he walks out. It is good to see you back here, not

:05:19. > :05:23.only to take place in the first round, but the fact you are so far

:05:24. > :05:29.up the ranks again? I decided about two years ago I was either going to

:05:30. > :05:32.pack darts in completely or, how else could I pay the bills? I

:05:33. > :05:37.decided to start practicing again and started to enjoy the game again.

:05:38. > :05:40.I am looking forward to this week. How important was that run to the

:05:41. > :05:45.quarter-finals last year? We know you are a two-time semi-finalist

:05:46. > :05:49.here. Then there were fallow years. Last year there was some swagger

:05:50. > :05:54.back in that step. Yeah, yeah. I started to enjoy the game. Once you

:05:55. > :06:00.do, the fun came back. So, I thought, oh, well, keep going. So...

:06:01. > :06:05.What about this match against Tony Eccles? Two seasoned campaigners -

:06:06. > :06:09.it will be a great one to watch. We have not actually played one and

:06:10. > :06:13.other many times. He's a fantastic player, Tony Eccles. Before he left

:06:14. > :06:17.to go to the PDC a few years ago he was one of the best players in the

:06:18. > :06:22.BDO at the time. That was with the likes of Barneveld and others. He

:06:23. > :06:28.was a great player. His form dipped a bit. He came back to the BDO,

:06:29. > :06:33.winning the Scottish Open. His first tournament. He's a class player, so:

:06:34. > :06:37.I know it is a tough game, but that is what I like. There's a steely

:06:38. > :06:42.look in your eye. You are up for this. All the best. Thank you. Let's

:06:43. > :06:45.look at the head-to-head for the first of the three matches this

:06:46. > :06:51.afternoon. It confirms what you have been saying. Look at that! 11 times

:06:52. > :06:56.and six times out in the first round. The other it has taken

:06:57. > :07:00.someone who has reached the Final to knock him out. I know!

:07:01. > :07:03.He is really unlucky. This time he's not so unlucky. I think he's got a

:07:04. > :07:10.good chance. Does it help in the first round. We

:07:11. > :07:14.have seen the likes of others - not the unknown, but the USA player

:07:15. > :07:18.coming here and beating Gary Thompson. He didn't know who he was

:07:19. > :07:23.up against. In this case with Eccles, is it easier forfeit fit fit

:07:24. > :07:28.because he knows what he'll -- for Fit fit, because he knows what he'll

:07:29. > :07:33.get? He can be a little bit slow Eccles. He can slow the game up. He

:07:34. > :07:39.is a master of that. When you say slow - do you mean... ? He knows all

:07:40. > :07:48.the rules. We will not be here till 7pm! I don't think he'll bother him.

:07:49. > :07:51.He's a very good scorer. So, straightforward choice for you? I

:07:52. > :08:02.think so, yes. I am with you all the way. Let's get down now. We'll have

:08:03. > :08:07.darts here every weekday afternoon here on BBC Two.

:08:08. > :08:15.THE COMMENTATOR: Welcome to the 2014, Lakeside World Championships,

:08:16. > :08:20.here at the home of World Darts. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:08:21. > :08:22.We introduce a twice semi-finalist. The reigning champion - it is the

:08:23. > :08:29.Daz ler, Darryl Fitton. MUSIC:

:08:30. > :09:28.MADNESS Like his opponent, we welcome a man

:09:29. > :09:33.who has won nine world ranking title. The raiping Scottish Open

:09:34. > :09:38.champion - it is the Viper, Tony Eccles.

:09:39. > :10:13.-- reigning. So the number five seed, Darryl

:10:14. > :10:20.Fitton, making it 12 years in a row at the Lakeside. Will he go belly-up

:10:21. > :10:21.again in the first round? Let's find out.

:10:22. > :10:28.Thank you. Good afternoon. Another mouth-watering first round tie

:10:29. > :10:32.between two men who have 20 Lakeside appearances before them and six

:10:33. > :10:40.quarter-finals on their respective CVs. The Dazzler overcame his first

:10:41. > :10:46.round last year before taking out Stephen Bunting in round two with a

:10:47. > :10:50.brilliant performance. Tony Eccles's main Lakeside success came seven

:10:51. > :10:54.years ago when he breezed through to the quarter-finals, winning each of

:10:55. > :11:02.his first ten sets that year before eventually losing to Meryvn King.

:11:03. > :11:20.THE COMMENTATOR: Darryl to throw first.

:11:21. > :11:29.96. You can see why he's the Viper!

:11:30. > :11:36.100. Remember, in his first ever

:11:37. > :11:39.championship, 2003, he came on to the stage, stood there, first throw

:11:40. > :11:53.- 180! And I thought then what a great

:11:54. > :11:55.talent we've got. In this champion the world has just not been good to

:11:56. > :12:08.him! I have some happy memories of the

:12:09. > :12:16.semi-finals in 2005, when he was beaten by Barney and 2009 when he

:12:17. > :12:26.lost to his close friend and fellow Stockport boy, Tony O'Shea. A solid

:12:27. > :12:32.start from the dvement azzler here! -- Dazzler here.

:12:33. > :12:52.It will send him on his way for this first leg.

:12:53. > :13:45.Just a little with his first one. Smack back in with his second.

:13:46. > :13:51.A good start for Tony in this second leg!

:13:52. > :14:04.You wouldn't think it was Monday afternoon, would you?

:14:05. > :14:20.Back he comes - let's have a nine dart finisher! Oh, a fraction!

:14:21. > :14:35.Even Darryl Fitton is laughing in the background!

:14:36. > :15:05.Youngsters off school. Watching the darts, with their dads.

:15:06. > :15:26.Still a chance. Treble 19. 18 will be the shot. Ooh. Pulled it.

:15:27. > :15:33.Still 280 the score forfeiten. -- for Fitton.

:15:34. > :15:42.Went for the treble 14 rather than the treble 11, which would have left

:15:43. > :15:53.him the double 16. Now he needs the nine.

:15:54. > :15:56.For one dart at double 16. 14 rather than the treble 11, which

:15:57. > :15:58.would have left him the double 16. Now he needs the nine.

:15:59. > :16:01.For one dart at double 16. Le 15 darter to get him under way

:16:02. > :16:18.and it is still go with throw. Here we go.

:16:19. > :16:28.A couple of loose ones. Getting the best of order, that is

:16:29. > :16:41.the main, they will appreciate that, the players.

:16:42. > :16:49.Any previous televised clash between these two came ten years ago in the

:16:50. > :16:53.World Darts trophy. Tony won that, a head-to-head record between the two

:16:54. > :16:59.is pretty level. Tony shading it by the one match.

:17:00. > :17:04.Dar reels most recent win against Tony in the quarterfinals of the

:17:05. > :17:21.Jersey Classic. A favourite with the bookmakers to win this one today.

:17:22. > :17:43.190 behind before this throw. Darryl should press on. Make it 2-1

:17:44. > :17:48.in this set. Picking off the trebles down Bolo an

:17:49. > :17:56.at top. Big finish, Jim. This would lift the

:17:57. > :18:12.place, first dart in, treble 18 now. Just a shade away, but critical.

:18:13. > :18:18.Couple of trebles here. Tony is in a accident position, putting pressure

:18:19. > :18:25.on Dahl's 98. Not as much pressure as it might

:18:26. > :18:32.have been. To level the match. 78 left. Treble 18 would leave

:18:33. > :18:39.double 12. Hopefully Eccles isn't going to be

:18:40. > :18:49.Treble 19 he needs now. Look at 18s.

:18:50. > :19:06.Double top for Darryl for a 2-1 Decent finishing from both men so

:19:07. > :19:14.far. His nickname is the Viper and I am looking at his wrist there, he

:19:15. > :19:17.look like he has tattooed it with Viper. Yes! Maximum. Well they are

:19:18. > :19:33.getting the money's worth already. Started the second leg with a 180.

:19:34. > :19:58.Starts the fourth with a 180. Again, just the wrong side of the wire.

:19:59. > :20:06.Cover shots coming in. Oh, look at him.

:20:07. > :20:15.You see that Jim? Sure it's Viper. It is an Australian.

:20:16. > :20:22.First bounce out. Of the day. Suffered by Darryl.

:20:23. > :20:24.Very few this years had a few last year, but Paul Jennings aside, not

:20:25. > :20:41.had too many at all this Down to finish 96. He will need it

:20:42. > :21:08.to save this leg. Treble 14 his target here. A single

:21:09. > :21:13.11. That is a couple of times Tony has gone in the wrong bed. 141 here

:21:14. > :21:26.for Darryl to take the set, but he can't do it now.

:21:27. > :21:42.Scrappy leg but 65, go for the 25. No, he has come down.

:21:43. > :21:48.Double 16 the shot now. That's the one.

:21:49. > :22:09.Right in the middle. Back comes Darryl. Excellent start. His fifty

:22:10. > :22:17.ton 40 and we are already in the fifth leg.

:22:18. > :22:29.-- fifth ton 40. 40 points ahead plus these.

:22:30. > :23:08.Two 140s for Darryl Fitton. 221 the target. After two 140s, 26.

:23:09. > :23:31.Good thinking from Tony. He is letting this one slip, Jim,

:23:32. > :23:45.because 182 for Tony Eccles. You want to be looking up there Darryl.

:23:46. > :23:49.Critical time this decisive leg of the first set. Good start from

:23:50. > :24:11.Darryl. Treble 15 he wants now. He has got it. Double top for a 145 and

:24:12. > :24:22.the set. 82. It's bull. Didn't pick that first dart up. It is all go

:24:23. > :24:27.here, it's all happening. Double ten.

:24:28. > :24:34.Don't miss! Oh, come on, double five. Oh Darryl, you 've done it

:24:35. > :24:48.again. This for a set against the darts. 9 for double 16. .

:24:49. > :24:57.Eight for the set. That could be a costly miss. Even the fans are

:24:58. > :25:04.getting caught up in the emotion here. Double five. Not the best

:25:05. > :25:20.double on the board. He's got one left. Oh, double four

:25:21. > :25:31.is ebbingle's score. That's the one! Well Darryl let that one slip.

:25:32. > :25:36.-- Eccles's. Can't believe it Jim. Seven set dartsers, one a double 20.

:25:37. > :25:44.Four at double five. Missed them all and has lost the set. When he had

:25:45. > :26:08.the three. A massive double four for Tony Eccles. He has put himself

:26:09. > :26:15.under pressure now, unfortunately. Yes, well, he his scoring is out of

:26:16. > :26:28.this world, ton pluses, but doesn't matter if you can't hit the finish.

:26:29. > :26:31.You ain't going to win any games. Seven years since Tony made it

:26:32. > :26:37.through to the quarter-final, unwhen at one stage he looked as if he was

:26:38. > :26:43.unbeatable. He missed three darts, in that quarter-final against Mervyn

:26:44. > :26:49.King to take a 4-0 lead. Actually lost it 5-4. Up to that point he

:26:50. > :26:55.hadn't dropped a single set in the tournament. He missed the double,

:26:56. > :27:05.and it all just disintegrated round him.

:27:06. > :27:11.It was incredible that match. I think certain players have these

:27:12. > :27:18.little hoodoos, knowing some of the matching, and championships they

:27:19. > :27:19.play in. --

:27:20. > :27:33.this is better. Not a score above 60 for Tony

:27:34. > :27:37.Eccles. Great response for Darryl. Against

:27:38. > :27:43.the darts to bounce back immediately. Does have six darts at

:27:44. > :27:49.76, etch though it was an inauspicious start for him. It will

:27:50. > :27:57.set up double top for when he returns. The trouble is Eccles will

:27:58. > :28:10.be on a finish after these three. 79 left.

:28:11. > :28:15.-- 69 is it? Yes. He is under pressure now, you see

:28:16. > :28:24.Jim. He has got to get this. Double top. And he does. Right in the

:28:25. > :28:29.middle. The Beverley Sisters are in! Giving

:28:30. > :28:37.him his So he has done the hard jarred in

:28:38. > :28:42.his attempt to break back straight away and taking a leg against the

:28:43. > :29:01.Eccles throw. Yes, but Tony did well there, to put

:29:02. > :29:11.him under pressure. Comes from Hartlepool, Tony. Andy Capp country.

:29:12. > :29:19.This will be his first. Unlucky. Two together, caught the barrel.

:29:20. > :29:21.There you are. Very slim darts as well, both

:29:22. > :30:39.players: Change of Can he take it out? He needs another

:30:40. > :30:49.one of those - a treble 18 and a bull for 164.

:30:50. > :30:54.Better reaction than last dart, truth be told, but it was a great

:30:55. > :31:01.attempt. He hit the number. No finish here. Three darts to go

:31:02. > :31:09.forfeit fit fit. -- for Darryl Fitton.

:31:10. > :31:17.He's smiling! OK, double 18.

:31:18. > :31:31.Double 16. It's the best of them on the board. Only if he can hit it.

:31:32. > :31:37.Oh, he pushed it away! Hope for Tony to get one back.

:31:38. > :31:42.Treble 18 here. And Darryl will be back with a

:31:43. > :31:45.chance to hit that double 16 and take a two-leg lead in this second

:31:46. > :32:08.set. Four goes to get that double 16, but

:32:09. > :32:17.he did hit it. Well on the way to the equalising second set.

:32:18. > :32:27.It might be a Monday afternoon, but it's a very special Monday afternoon

:32:28. > :32:35.for one lady in particular. An opportunity for 91-year-old Gwen

:32:36. > :32:40.Stockwell to fulfil a life long ambition here at the Lakeside for

:32:41. > :32:50.the first time ever. Her niece, Karen, is with her. Gwen has made

:32:51. > :32:56.the journey from near Newmarket. It is the same village Little Richard

:32:57. > :33:03.was brought up in. G wen enjoying a match which has -- Gwen enjoying a

:33:04. > :33:08.match which has ebbed and flowed. Not only 91, but blind as well.

:33:09. > :33:22.Still here to take it in and taking a 180 for Tony Eccles potentially.

:33:23. > :33:28.Well, she's all in her heels there. She certainly can...

:33:29. > :33:40.After nine darts! Treble 17. A single nine.

:33:41. > :33:54.No out-shot for Darryl. Double 16.

:33:55. > :34:06.Double eight. Yes! So, he has the darts. He has to take

:34:07. > :34:25.it out with this advantage. See the action of Tony Eccles and

:34:26. > :34:32.exactly how he earnt that nickname of the Viper. You can imagine a

:34:33. > :34:46.snake's head on his hand - strike striking its prey.

:34:47. > :34:50.Plenty of whip in this action as Tony Eccles pulls his hand back for

:34:51. > :35:08.the quick release. It is like the head of the pi phone,

:35:09. > :35:15.haven't it, as it goes through. Leyton Reece had a similar action.

:35:16. > :35:29.Yes, my old friend! So, he's giving him a chance, is

:35:30. > :36:00.Tony! Yes, the two, he'll go all the way.

:36:01. > :36:11.Well, he took the three off. Leaves himself with a decent finish.

:36:12. > :36:16.This is for the set for Darryl. A very solid start to this leg. It is

:36:17. > :36:19.falling away for him a bit here. The Shanghai 20s. For Tony Eccles, the

:36:20. > :36:32.single is. There the treble now. Frustrated again with himself. He

:36:33. > :36:37.almost looks at the board in disbelief with that last darted.

:36:38. > :36:46.Treble 20. -- last dart. Treble 20. Yes. It is now treble 18.

:36:47. > :36:48.Oh, magnificent! It's all level. One set a piece.

:36:49. > :37:18.Look at them go! There have only been two breaks of

:37:19. > :37:24.throw so far, but both have been absolutely critical. What a start

:37:25. > :37:33.here for Darryl. Another bounce out with his third. Yes, right in the

:37:34. > :37:41.corner. Wouldn't have thought he could have missed that. A good start

:37:42. > :37:53.for the day though, you know. It is dart for dart, really.

:37:54. > :38:05.120, 140, a tonne for Tony Eccles. What can he do? He won the... Yes!

:38:06. > :38:42.He's done the same. 184. 261, before the throw.

:38:43. > :38:50.Leaves him 121 and he'll get a shot. His second 140 of the leg.

:38:51. > :38:56.Darryl coming down here. The third dart.

:38:57. > :38:59.121 here for Tony. Treble 17 for bull.

:39:00. > :39:15.Darryl will be back for 48. 16. Double 16.

:39:16. > :39:18.Oh - nearly doubled first, but he's got the marker there. Oh, lose!

:39:19. > :39:29.A little talk to himself there. Yes! So, first time in the match then

:39:30. > :39:48.Darryl Fitton goes ahead. Intriguing, isn't it, Jim? It is,

:39:49. > :39:52.absolutely! Most enjoyable. Fourth leg out of five that Darryl has won.

:39:53. > :39:56.Although he's had the darts in three of those.

:39:57. > :40:14.The second and third sets. The scoring is improving all the

:40:15. > :40:19.time. Tony Eccles hitting 140s with real regularity. Yes, there are two

:40:20. > :40:33.in this set already. One for Tony. And one for Darryl.

:40:34. > :40:40.Another chance for Darryl for some heavy scoring here.

:40:41. > :40:48.Set up a chance of winning a leg against a throw.

:40:49. > :40:53.Better than 45. Right in the middle. That looks like

:40:54. > :40:56.another one. This one here - no, he's got the

:40:57. > :41:09.bull, any way. Tony Eccles is left 104 for the

:41:10. > :41:13.finish. Still no finish - yes, but he's got

:41:14. > :41:26.one now. Treble 19. It's what he wants again.

:41:27. > :41:32.Hits a seven rather than a 19. It is a few times he's done that.

:41:33. > :41:48.Can't hide his emotion when he does it. 116 here for the Dazzler.

:41:49. > :42:00.Bfrgets double top. Double ten. Yes - that first dart got in the

:42:01. > :42:05.way. 74 forfeit fit fit. -- for Darryl Fitton.

:42:06. > :42:15.And this again, a leg against the darts.

:42:16. > :42:19.20 for double top. He can't hit it either.

:42:20. > :42:25.And Tony back for a chance that he might not have had.

:42:26. > :42:32.One or three for double one is the way he's elected to go.

:42:33. > :42:37.Well, well, well. Now Darryl again with another

:42:38. > :42:53.chance. Three darts at double ten for a leg against the throw.

:42:54. > :42:58.Double five... Oh, the tension! . I don't believe it! I don't believe it

:42:59. > :43:01.at all. Double one. Can't go any further!

:43:02. > :43:08.One to go. It didn't work out that way. Go on

:43:09. > :43:31.Jim. He's missed it five times. He hits

:43:32. > :43:50.it. A double one. A A little chuckle from Darryl. Boy,

:43:51. > :43:56.were his nerves shredded? All those missed darts at double one. He got

:43:57. > :44:04.away with it. I have seen it happen to Darryl so

:44:05. > :44:11.many times. It is like finishing it off and then sudden suddenly, he's

:44:12. > :44:20.at the losing end. But it's not over yet.

:44:21. > :44:23.All is square in sets and legs. They are all standing here. It's for

:44:24. > :44:35.Eccles. Number four after 180. Number four

:44:36. > :44:59.for Tony Eccles. The way this leg is going Eccles is

:45:00. > :45:09.going to take the cake. Eccles caked in 180s at the moment.

:45:10. > :45:22.He has had all four in the match. Darryl's rarely got. He has had a

:45:23. > :45:39.180. He did want another one there but he has left 84.

:45:40. > :45:45.Treble 20, double 12 the shot. 64 left.

:45:46. > :45:51.It's double eight. Oh, just inside, but no problem, 256 still remains

:45:52. > :45:58.forfeit fit. What is going to happen? Two big leg, that second leg

:45:59. > :46:02.Tony won with the double one, to hold throw. Now after three poor

:46:03. > :46:08.visits to the oche to start this leg, Tony has an opportunity to

:46:09. > :46:17.break. Double four. No problem at all. 13 darter for Tony Eccles.

:46:18. > :46:33.And now he is throwing to win the third set against the darts. The

:46:34. > :46:50.silence has not been broken. Getting the best of order. Can't wish for

:46:51. > :46:59.more. Can you see him doing it, gym? Couldn't call it from here, Tony.

:47:00. > :47:06.No. Poised on a knife-edge, you have to make Tony Eccles favourite.

:47:07. > :47:17.Definitely. And switching now. Having no luck.

:47:18. > :47:35.Cover shots going in. And another. He has left a finish as well. Yes,

:47:36. > :47:48.he had his ideas there, of what to leave. OK, then, treble 20 would

:47:49. > :48:05.leave 107. Treble 19 would leave the bull. I fear the worst now. It's

:48:06. > :48:13.been a great game. Could be closing in now. Still battling. The Fitton

:48:14. > :48:28.fans on their feet but it is double seven for the set for Tony Eccles.

:48:29. > :48:40.2-1 he leads. And that is another set, all three so far have gone

:48:41. > :48:55.against the darts. It's incredible, isn't it. Now, got to dig deep.

:48:56. > :49:05.There's Darryl Fitton. I must say, Eccles playing like a champion.

:49:06. > :49:10.Two 14 darters in a row. It's just that second leg of that third set.

:49:11. > :49:14.Just seems to have swung this game Tony Eccles's way, he has so many

:49:15. > :49:18.missed darts as doubles but critically he was the one that hit

:49:19. > :49:26.one and Darryl missed four to take a two leg lead in that first set.

:49:27. > :49:36.Hasn't won a set since. He has been spas mo Dick I would say.

:49:37. > :49:39.-- spasmodic. Yes.

:49:40. > :50:07.A little breathing space, so can Darryl get in here? Let's see. He

:50:08. > :50:21.needs to be in the red. Did well there. Did well to get round it,

:50:22. > :50:31.because that's the finish, 164. More accident scoring. Two 140s and a 139

:50:32. > :50:39.in the last one, 137 in this. Darryl can't finish here. So Tony Eccles,

:50:40. > :50:58.with a chance at 70 for the first leg of the fourth set. 20 for double

:50:59. > :51:13.16. Misses this time. He has to hit this one. Just 20. There it is,

:51:14. > :51:34.double 16. He is missing nothing. Double eight. Double four. Stand by

:51:35. > :51:39.Darryl. Yes! He's absolutely clinical, is Eccles. Darryl will

:51:40. > :51:45.draw on all his experience and perhaps specifically his experience

:51:46. > :51:51.from this time last year, when he was 2-1 down against van de Pas, he

:51:52. > :51:55.came back to win that. Then beat top seeped Stephen Bunting

:51:56. > :52:03.with a brilliant display in the second round before losing to Wesley

:52:04. > :52:08.Harmison in the quarter-finals. But he has as I say, got that big

:52:09. > :52:10.game experience, he will have been here and got out of this situation

:52:11. > :52:34.many times, in his long He is running out of time.

:52:35. > :52:37.OK. Just seven points behind at this stage. With a treble in the bed. And

:52:38. > :53:09.another. Switch for treble 18 now. He has set himself up with a nice

:53:10. > :53:11.finish here. The answer is yes, Jim. He is on a

:53:12. > :53:29.finish. Great last dart. It has to be, 89

:53:30. > :53:38.here for Darryl, in the leg he surely can't afford to lose. Good

:53:39. > :53:42.start. Two darts at it as well. Darryl Fitton ties it up at one all

:53:43. > :53:51.in what for him is a crucial fourth set. Look at this, Tony. Straight

:53:52. > :53:56.from the off in the next leg. Building up here. Building up to be

:53:57. > :54:07.classic, they are loving it out there.

:54:08. > :54:14.There is two opportunities to break the Eccles's throw. He has to do it.

:54:15. > :54:30.He has to hold his own throw and tone you will be pleased with the

:54:31. > :54:33.way this is going. -- Eccles. Oh yes.

:54:34. > :54:53.Yes, so 140 apiece in this leg. He won't let go, will he? He is

:54:54. > :55:06.there all the time. The Viper stalking his

:55:07. > :55:23.Right in the middle. Plenty of room. Is it -- he's hitting everything. 67

:55:24. > :55:37.Eccles requires to go one leg away from the match. Treble 17. So 18

:55:38. > :55:45.would leave him double 16. They say it's the best double on the board,

:55:46. > :55:53.is it? It is! It certainly is for Eccles.

:55:54. > :55:57.All to do now, Jim. He has to win the next two legs to stay alive. You

:55:58. > :56:07.wouldn't put it past him but Eccles a massive favourite from here.

:56:08. > :56:12.Good start from Darryl Fitton. Eccles finishing has been a bitter

:56:13. > :56:19.are tick but he has hit them when they have mattered. -- a bit eratic.

:56:20. > :56:26.Every reason to be pleased with his performance here. The winning post

:56:27. > :56:27.is nigh. It is all down to Dahl, whether this match continues, after

:56:28. > :57:01.this leg. Yes, it was there.

:57:02. > :57:12.Hits the wrong bed. Well, that's three in a bed. But not the bed he

:57:13. > :57:20.wanted. After an inch from perfection. Half an inch is a

:57:21. > :57:30.massive margin in in game. -- in this game. Still in with a chance,

:57:31. > :57:39.no problem. He has got the experience. Yes! 180.

:57:40. > :57:49.Look at this. He is still giving it his all. Double 18 left. And he will

:57:50. > :57:55.need to get it, I think. Double 18 for a 13 darter but more

:57:56. > :58:02.importantly for survival. Yes. Fitton stays alive. And we go do a

:58:03. > :58:07.decisive leg in this, but Fitton has the breaks on ebbingles and he has

:58:08. > :58:13.only Maced that one once in eight attempts so far.

:58:14. > :58:20.-- Eccles. We will have to play all these matches in the afternoon, I

:58:21. > :58:24.think. They have had a good night's sleep!

:58:25. > :58:29.Oh, what a classic. He has been in some tussle, though,

:58:30. > :58:36.Darryl. -- tussles. The only time that

:58:37. > :58:49.Darryl has broken Tony's throw was the first leg, of the second set.

:58:50. > :58:52.Has to do so again right now. Tony's scoring through the first night

:58:53. > :58:58.darts of a leg has been superior to Darryls but it is just letting him

:58:59. > :59:06.down in this one when he needs it. 59, 60 he started here. Darryl, get

:59:07. > :59:17.into the red bit. There is one. There is plenty of room left. Yes,

:59:18. > :59:24.140. But that comes -- back comes Eccles.

:59:25. > :59:36.Oh, yes, he don't want to go any further than this. Looking to finish

:59:37. > :59:39.the match but Darryl has other ideas.

:59:40. > :59:44.That treble five has been a destination that Darryl Fitton has

:59:45. > :59:50.seen far too often for his liking, he has recovered brilliantly. Tony

:59:51. > :00:00.242 points away from the match. And a second round tie with Wesley

:00:01. > :00:19.Harms. But 133 is a finish. OK. Treble 20. Oh. Oh, Darryl!

:00:20. > :00:33.So, Darryl knows he'll be back. Way over on the left-hand side.

:00:34. > :00:40.He's only managed to take the 60 out. So, both then left on 100. Who

:00:41. > :00:49.can take it out first? To save the match - treble 20.

:00:50. > :01:01.Which way are you going, Darryl? Single 20 and you're living in hope.

:01:02. > :01:09.Tony Eccles cannot take out 100. Treble 20.

:01:10. > :01:21.He's got it. He's still in with a fight is Darryl Fitton sclasmt

:01:22. > :01:35.Fit and double top to tie it up at two sets all. No pressure, Darryl!

:01:36. > :01:45.No pressure at all! Double ten. You can hear a pin drop in here.

:01:46. > :01:51.Double five. You had your chance. You never took

:01:52. > :01:58.it. To end a great match here - it is

:01:59. > :02:07.double eight. Still - double eight! Yes!

:02:08. > :02:15.What a classic you've seen here today.

:02:16. > :02:21.Oh, absolute brilliance! What a battle, Jim! A wonderful game of

:02:22. > :02:26.darts. Probably deserved the final set. But take nothing away from Tony

:02:27. > :02:30.Eccles. That was a fabulous performance. He struggled in the

:02:31. > :02:36.first round year after year. After that wonderful run in 2007. This

:02:37. > :02:41.time he makes it through with wonderful scoring.

:02:42. > :02:49.THE COMMENTATOR: Come on ladies and gentlemen, as believes the

:02:50. > :02:56.tournament, let's here it forfeit Fitton and through -- for Darryl

:02:57. > :03:03.Fitton and through to the second round, Tony Eccles.

:03:04. > :03:07.APPLAUSE Well, eight years at the Lakeside,

:03:08. > :03:14.but that is the icing on the cake for Eccles. Brilliant first afrmg.

:03:15. > :03:17.One in three in the -- average. One in three is not bad. His seventh

:03:18. > :03:32.time in 12 years in the first round. The averages weren't anything to

:03:33. > :03:38.write home about. It was those first nine doing the damage. Tony scoring

:03:39. > :03:42.higher than we expected. I didn't think he would play like that. He

:03:43. > :03:47.was steady all the way through. He hit his doubles. A little struggle

:03:48. > :03:52.on the double one. Got him out. I thought we would have to cancel

:03:53. > :03:57.Eastenders! Darryl Fitton, he scored and had the same old problem again.

:03:58. > :04:02.He looked good. He didn't look nervous. I thought he would nick

:04:03. > :04:07.this last set and be into the game. You could see Eccles was a bit

:04:08. > :04:10.nervous there. He gets shaky on the old throw in the end. I got it

:04:11. > :04:15.wrong. I give him his credit, he played really well. As you say, you

:04:16. > :04:20.were surprised by that. With Darryl, right from the walk on for me, he

:04:21. > :04:24.seemed apprehensive. He was giving it a bit of. That he didn't seem to

:04:25. > :04:29.be up for it. I thought he looked relaxed. I thought he would do... .

:04:30. > :04:34.There is a fine line between being relaxed and being flat. The doubles

:04:35. > :04:39.is the fine line. Scored well at the beginning. Should have got the first

:04:40. > :04:44.set. Six chances at the double. To win, that is a lot. You do a nine

:04:45. > :04:49.dart. Three-quarters of the game. Then he had a good set.

:04:50. > :04:53.And then he had a bad set at the doubles again. But Eccles took his

:04:54. > :04:58.chances. Consistent, as we said. The first nine darts, averaging 100.

:04:59. > :05:02.He'll have a smile on his face, no doubt, talking to Rob Walker.

:05:03. > :05:07.He does. There's a touch of relief for Tony. We were looking forward to

:05:08. > :05:13.that. So much experience between the two of you and you went over the

:05:14. > :05:19.line at the end. Me and Darryl we've had so many tussles over the years.

:05:20. > :05:25.That was one hell of a game. Sorry to mention that game - I can not say

:05:26. > :05:30.any more. Darryl, I expected a lot more from him. He missed doubles. I

:05:31. > :05:34.was looking at sudden death - final set there. I got over the winning

:05:35. > :05:39.line. How big was the second leg of the third set? Massive. Aness

:05:40. > :05:44.luteally massive. -- absolutely massive. I thought, you best take

:05:45. > :05:49.this out or we're going out. Commiserations to Darryl. He's

:05:50. > :05:53.always a tough guy to beat. I didn't expect to win that game 3-1. I was

:05:54. > :05:57.expecting that final set there. How received were you with the final

:05:58. > :06:00.darts? It looked as though, at one stage, Darryl would take it to a

:06:01. > :06:08.decider. There it is - you can see it down there on the screen. I can't

:06:09. > :06:12.remember that much! Relief, I expect.

:06:13. > :06:16.There you go! Even Darryl. Even as we were coming back from the table,

:06:17. > :06:21.to the table from the water drinks, even Darryl was sat there and he was

:06:22. > :06:25.saying to me, we are both missing doubles, I was like, oh, well, don't

:06:26. > :06:30.miss this one. A crucial one. That is the main one - that end one. As

:06:31. > :06:34.much as you can hit throughout all that game - I mean we respect each

:06:35. > :06:38.other so much, me and Darryl. He even said at the end of the game

:06:39. > :06:42.there, it was a respect game. We have so many really hard games. I

:06:43. > :06:47.got over that finishing line - that's all that counts. I can settle

:06:48. > :06:51.in now to the tournament. Congratulations.

:06:52. > :06:55.Well done for today. Thanks very much. Cheers!

:06:56. > :07:01.Two or three players who we have asked about the final darts and

:07:02. > :07:06.shown them, there with Tony Eccles, I think Norris said it was nice to

:07:07. > :07:13.finish with a double ten when it was a double 16. Give us an insight. Few

:07:14. > :07:16.come up here and they cannot remember the winning dart. You

:07:17. > :07:21.can't. It is your nervous system. 25% it is down to your nerves. Down

:07:22. > :07:25.to that pressure, he knew if he never hit that double eight and

:07:26. > :07:30.Darryl had hit the double top he was going to go. A final set and then

:07:31. > :07:33.it's a different game completely. Of course he couldn't remember if he

:07:34. > :07:39.hit the double again. What happened again? It does happen. I've done it,

:07:40. > :07:45.loads of times. His mind will think about his next opponent. He's got Mr

:07:46. > :07:49.Cool. If Tony plays like that, especially his first nine averages

:07:50. > :07:54.then, he's got a chance. He's got a chance because he's still in it. Not

:07:55. > :07:58.only that, he's a slow player. They will be matched.

:07:59. > :08:02.More or less the same rhythm, they will have. Tony is interesting

:08:03. > :08:08.because he throws every dart twice and then lets go. It is a unique way

:08:09. > :08:15.to throw a dart. He's doing it so he's throwing the same. That is what

:08:16. > :08:20.he's doing. I heard the commentary say Leyton Reece had a similar

:08:21. > :08:28.throw. Not as close as that, but you know, it is hard to copy someone's

:08:29. > :08:32.throw. Everyone is different. It's - another does a shake but a same sort

:08:33. > :08:37.of throw. It works for him. That is why he's kept it. It is time for

:08:38. > :08:41.another blast from the past now. For those who have been watching darts

:08:42. > :08:49.for decades you will remember Paul Hogan who reached the quarter-finals

:08:50. > :08:56.in 1995. In 206 he reached the -- 2006 he reached the quarter-finals

:08:57. > :09:00.again. Crocodile Dundee is back. It is fantastic to be back. The

:09:01. > :09:03.atmosphere - brilliant. It is completely different. The cameras

:09:04. > :09:09.are on you, with the crowd behind you and they find it - just after

:09:10. > :09:16.the first leg you just relax into your game and you blank everything

:09:17. > :09:20.out. First year I qualified in 1995, I lost to Richard in the

:09:21. > :09:28.quarter-finals. You know, I played really well. I had a 101 average and

:09:29. > :09:35.just lost. I am very confident. Yes. It is just like being back here that

:09:36. > :09:41.time, I won the Gold Cup in April and on that stage, so, I've got the

:09:42. > :09:47.experience up there. I know it's his first time. So I've don't know how

:09:48. > :09:51.he'll feel, or anything. I'm just going to go out there and

:09:52. > :09:55.enjoy it. I think that is the key - go out and

:09:56. > :10:00.enjoy it. It is an achievement for Paul to be back here. Paul has

:10:01. > :10:05.qualified a few times the hard way, through the play-offs and he's done

:10:06. > :10:10.it again. He's, I think Gold Cup winner as well. He's a county

:10:11. > :10:18.player. He's a top player. I don't know the guy from... We will get on

:10:19. > :10:27.to him in a second. Paul Hogan, his first televised match was against

:10:28. > :10:35.Eric Bristow. 1989. Goes to show there's hope for you. You never know

:10:36. > :10:42.the Lakeside stage... A couple of ayes a long the way. You mention of

:10:43. > :10:45.course Carol - Latvia, Greece and now the Czech Republic. Countries

:10:49. > :10:53.They have to be -- which is a good thing. They have to be given a break

:10:54. > :10:57.somewhere. It is good for people to come from all over the world, it

:10:58. > :11:01.makes it a World Championship. It is hard for us to say how they will

:11:02. > :11:05.play, because I have never seen them play. You don't know if you will

:11:06. > :11:09.have a world champion or a Mickey Mouse player. You don't know. A lot

:11:10. > :11:14.other qualifiers have not played outside of their region. He has a

:11:15. > :11:20.little bit in the last 12 months. He's been busy. He's gone to a few

:11:21. > :11:26.Opens. Obviously the gois that travel know him. -- guys that travel

:11:27. > :11:30.know him. Paul would not have known him because he doesn't travel. He's

:11:31. > :11:35.comes from the qualifiers. He's done it a very hard way to qualify

:11:36. > :11:39.through the playoffs. A good player. This boy is a good player. For

:11:40. > :11:42.people tuning in and expecting highlights, it is different. For the

:11:43. > :11:47.first time ever, during the working week on BBC Two, we'll have live

:11:48. > :11:51.action for you. Jan Dekker and Benito van de Pas to

:11:52. > :11:55.come. We welcome our first ever player from the Czech Republic to

:12:01. > :12:06.2014 Lakeside World Championships, here at the home of World Darts.

:12:07. > :12:12.APPLAUSE We now introduce a preliminary match

:12:13. > :12:24.and welcome our Eastern Europe peen regional qualifier. From the cheque

:12:25. > :12:55.re Czech Republic, Karel Sedlacek. We welcome B dsmt DO champion - it's

:12:56. > :13:54.Crocodile Dundee - Paul Hogan. MUSIC

:13:55. > :13:59.Is the crocodile too long in the teeth or will he chop his mate in

:14:00. > :14:08.half? Karel Sedlacek, how are the nerves?

:14:09. > :14:12.A man making his first World Championship for seven years,

:14:13. > :14:18.against a man making his first World Championship appearance. Both have

:14:19. > :14:22.told me that basically they are petrified. Hogan said it feels

:14:23. > :14:28.strange to be back and I have butterflies in the belly. Sedlacek

:14:29. > :14:35.didn't know the English for nervous, so he showed me shaking fingers. He

:14:36. > :14:40.becomes the first represent from the Czech Republic. Hogan is from just

:14:41. > :14:42.down the road. He will start as hot favourite to reach the first round

:14:43. > :14:58.proper. That is not a bad start, if you have

:14:59. > :15:05.got shaky hands. Not always the way for a darts player to show his

:15:06. > :15:12.nerves. Mad is the one, when he is nervous

:15:13. > :15:18.you see it in his hand. It doesn't affect where the dart go, though,

:15:19. > :15:25.does it is Car reels best result this year a semifinal at the

:15:26. > :15:29.Romanian open where he lost to Ron Meulenkamp. He beat Darryl Fitton on

:15:30. > :15:35.the way to the last four. His ranking just inside the top 100,

:15:36. > :15:40.that is significantly higher than Paul.

:15:41. > :15:42.Getting to the Lakeside is a massive achievement for the man from

:15:43. > :15:59.Basingstoke. Sedlacek with the dart, he is down

:16:00. > :16:20.to a finish So Paul Hogan with Shanghai 20,

:16:21. > :16:23.single treble-double. There is the single. This is for a break of

:16:24. > :16:35.throw. Couldn't find the treble.

:16:36. > :16:41.Deb 18 for Karel Sedlaek. -- double. Now double nine.

:16:42. > :16:48.Ooh that might be costly. Now Paul Hogan back to 60. There is the

:16:49. > :17:06.single. Now a double top. And the first leg to the returning

:17:07. > :17:14.Only six months or so Paul Hogan won the Gold Cup on the stage at

:17:15. > :17:18.Lakeside, but he says it is a completely different feel. When it

:17:19. > :17:22.is the World Championships, when there are TV cameras pointing at

:17:23. > :17:27.you, when you know there are not just thousands of eyes in the room,

:17:28. > :17:34.but millions of eyes watching all round the country, and all round the

:17:35. > :17:39.world. He says he looked up his opponent

:17:40. > :17:42.Karel Sedlaek on the internet, he didn't know too much about him and

:17:43. > :17:53.the internet search didn't yield much either. Join the club, Paul!

:17:54. > :18:02.There is Wendy, Paul's wife. She will be happy with the start that

:18:03. > :18:09.her man has made. Won the first leg. Three ton pluses in this one so far.

:18:10. > :18:24.And back with a chance to take out 120 in a moment. Pet Pretty good. He

:18:25. > :18:33.won't try and fillet up. Instead... He will leave himself 66. It is a

:18:34. > :18:40.very wild dart from Paul Hogan. Hands the initiative back to the man

:18:41. > :18:53.from the Czech Republic. He needs 16 and double top to level the set.

:18:54. > :19:07.Double top for Paul. It is just car reels finishing that has let him

:19:08. > :19:11.down so far. -- Karel's.

:19:12. > :19:16.The one advantage that Paul as got is the fact he has been here before.

:19:17. > :19:23.Knows what to expect. Was a quarterfinalist here at the

:19:24. > :19:28.Lakeside way back when, 1995. He was qualifier back then, lost to

:19:29. > :19:33.Richie Burnett in quarter-finals. Then had two more first round

:19:34. > :19:42.defeats and failed to reappear until 2004. He drew Barney then and lost.

:19:43. > :19:56.Karel Hazard some support in the crowd in the form of his girlfriend.

:19:57. > :20:12.Yes, first of the match. Wendy approves. The Lakeside approves.

:20:13. > :20:22.Treble 17 would have left the bull. He will stay down and have a shot at

:20:23. > :20:36.80 to take this first set in double quick time. Can do this in two

:20:37. > :20:51.darts. 20 for tops now. This is for the set.

:20:52. > :21:00.Yes. No problem at all. A perfect start for Paul Hogan. He

:21:01. > :21:05.has been playing well, he entered four knock outs over Christmas and

:21:06. > :21:09.won them all. How's your scoring I asked him, pretty good he said.

:21:10. > :21:16.How's your finishing I asked him, very good he said.

:21:17. > :21:25.And so far, that proves that he was right. A great first nine average

:21:26. > :21:28.from Paul. 106. Albeit only after three legs of darts but impressive

:21:29. > :21:38.nevertheless, that first set he took was against the darts. Four darts at

:21:39. > :22:04.a double and he hit three of them. All double top.

:22:05. > :22:20.It has been a circuitous route back to the Lakeside for him.

:22:21. > :22:27.Lived in this world part of the world for 20 years but it is a

:22:28. > :22:38.different accent he has. Tried to -- trying to hold his throw

:22:39. > :22:50.here. And that will help. But Karel has a

:22:51. > :23:04.chance. Can't do it now. So 46 for a fourth leg in a row. Double 16 this

:23:05. > :23:11.time. Perhaps he should have stayed up top. So an opportunity for

:23:12. > :23:21.Sedlacek. 16 for double top. He needs this.

:23:22. > :23:37.There it is. It's a long way from the Czech Republic when you haven't

:23:38. > :23:42.won a leg in the first four played. He has a bit of work to do. Losing

:23:43. > :23:47.the first set against the darts. Can he hold here Karel Sedlaek, a

:23:48. > :23:55.disappointing start, Paul is no mood to give him any quarter. Often ask

:23:56. > :24:01.not just darts players but sports people, have you looked through the

:24:02. > :24:05.draw? No, just the next match they say. We asked Paul Hogan that

:24:06. > :24:14.question, he said no, but he said of course I know if I win it is Scott

:24:15. > :24:18.Mitchell and then Kist and Adams and Norris, so not really, he said.

:24:19. > :24:35.Good for He is just delighted to be back in

:24:36. > :24:39.with the big hitters, you have to consider for ten years he was an

:24:40. > :24:42.England international. He is less than three years ago, he

:24:43. > :24:52.won his last cap. Beating James Wilson here in the

:24:53. > :24:57.final of the Gold Cup, back in July when he was representing Berkshire

:24:58. > :25:14.and Jamie of course was throwing for Yorkshire, I think it has done him

:25:15. > :25:23.the world of good. Hogan down to 99 with Sedlacek back

:25:24. > :25:30.on 209. But that helps the cause. Needs to get a leg on the board.

:25:31. > :25:37.Treble 20 for double ten. So Sedlacek will have a chance. Missed

:25:38. > :25:41.his five darts at a double so far. It is is two more chances here at

:25:42. > :25:48.double eight. One more. Just not happening.

:25:49. > :26:01.Double top for Paul for a fifth leg in a row. Double ten now. Missed

:26:02. > :26:04.opportunity, and a glimmer of hope here for Sedlacek. His girlfriend

:26:05. > :26:08.looks like she is praying for in double eight and her prayers have

:26:09. > :26:14.been answered. He has a leg on the board. This is

:26:15. > :26:40.the software salesman from the Sedlacek says he has had big days in

:26:41. > :26:47.his darting life before but nothing to match this.

:26:48. > :26:51.Shepped his English vocabulary and paused ant wanted to get the right

:26:52. > :27:01.word to describe how he felt about this game. He said it's a Meg match.

:27:02. > :27:10.-- Meg match. --

:27:11. > :27:27.Megamatch. Paul taking charge of this leg as well.

:27:28. > :27:37.Down to 76 after 12 darts. Karel has not been given much of a look in.

:27:38. > :28:07.Double eight then. So a second go at 76. Treble 13 now,

:28:08. > :28:20.he has made his life difficult. And 68 for Sedlacek to win against the

:28:21. > :28:34.throw. Double top, two darts at it. 54 then. Double 18 he needs. Yes.

:28:35. > :28:40.There aren't that many times you end up in a leg, you end up winning on a

:28:41. > :28:53.double 18. Important for him to keep the

:28:54. > :29:04.momentum of this match going his way, to have won that leg.

:29:05. > :29:17.Great start. To this fourth leg of the second set from Paul Hogan.

:29:18. > :29:22.Is Back in 2006 he lost a thrilling quarter-final against Klarsen. He

:29:23. > :29:29.ended up winning that years but Hogan took him to a deciding set.

:29:30. > :29:34.Back the following year, beaten in the first round, then the long

:29:35. > :29:39.drought before making it through the qualifiers and he is making the most

:29:40. > :29:44.of his chance. 139 and 140 he started in this leg, but that is

:29:45. > :30:12.just Pauled it back a bit. -- pulled it back a bit.

:30:13. > :30:26.This is for a two-set lead. Treble 14 would have left double 11. Treble

:30:27. > :30:30.eight he needs and gets. Unorthodox, but who cares! Hogan

:30:31. > :30:57.leads 2-0. Karel a little bit out of tune at

:30:58. > :31:27.the moment. Just a reminder, incidentally, this

:31:28. > :31:31.is a preliminary round match. Scott Mitchell awaits the winner of this

:31:32. > :31:45.one. That will be a first-round tie that takes place on Tuesday.

:31:46. > :31:47.This would get him going. Treble 19 leaves double 12 for a

:31:48. > :32:10.141. Yes, yes, yes! Not far away from the high highest

:32:11. > :32:14.Czech of the week so far. He will not care about that. He will just

:32:15. > :32:40.care that it has given him something to build on.

:32:41. > :32:48.Paul told you that his finishing was pretty sharp. That is a tidy set of

:32:49. > :32:53.statistics. Out of his eight misses, seven of

:32:54. > :33:23.them came over the space of two legs at the start of the second set.

:33:24. > :33:31.A poor start for him. An excellent recovery. Another

:33:32. > :33:42.treble 20. Leaves him double 16. And he will be back to have a look

:33:43. > :33:46.at it as well. Wendy still looks nervous, but no

:33:47. > :33:54.reason to be with finishing like that.

:33:55. > :33:56.Paul Hogan is now two legs away from winning on his return to Lakeside

:33:57. > :34:12.for the first time in seven years. One on the floor there for Paul. His

:34:13. > :34:42.first bounce-out of the game. Hogan has been ruthless around the

:34:43. > :34:45.throw. He's broken him three times out of five legs. He's given himself

:34:46. > :34:56.a decent chance again here. Wouldn't want to see him if he

:34:57. > :35:22.wasn't nervous. Clearly needed the treble with that

:35:23. > :35:39.first dart. Takes the direct route. Perfectly

:35:40. > :35:47.justified as well. Next to no time Paul Hogan is one

:35:48. > :35:52.leg away. He's only lost one leg so far and he

:35:53. > :35:55.has the darts and he has the first round proper, well and truly in his

:35:56. > :36:27.sights. This will be his first.

:36:28. > :36:38.Still Sedlacek has a commanding lead after six darts each.

:36:39. > :36:49.Needs to capitalise. Needs to kick on. Can't afford to lose this leg.

:36:50. > :36:55.He has to break the Hogan throw twice.

:36:56. > :37:07.Small steps, of course. First of all, he could do with doing it here.

:37:08. > :37:16.70 when he comes back. For that first break that he needs.

:37:17. > :37:23.Could do with a double, a treble and there it is.

:37:24. > :37:32.So the 70 is under some pressure. Well, he's hit 12. 18 for double

:37:33. > :37:43.top. Needs it. Just four short. Match-point, Paul Hogan.

:37:44. > :37:59.Double ten to stay alive for Sedlacek. Now double five. A massive

:38:00. > :38:05.dart this for Karel Sedlacek. Holds his nerve.

:38:06. > :38:14.Breaks the Hogan's throw for the first time.

:38:15. > :38:34.It's the first time we've seen the Crocodile rocked.

:38:35. > :38:40.It was nice to see before the match started, they were practicing

:38:41. > :38:45.together on the same board. They weren't chatting, but they were

:38:46. > :38:52.getting a feel for how each other throws and toasting each other.

:38:53. > :39:10.That was between throws at the board.

:39:11. > :39:19.Such a big thing momentum in darts. If Sedlacek could win this leg, and

:39:20. > :39:22.he does look favourite, then all of a sudden, it's 2-1 and the match has

:39:23. > :39:37.a different perspective. Treble 20. Double 18 now for

:39:38. > :39:45.Sedlacek. Takes out 96 in two darts. Wins the

:39:46. > :39:50.set. And he's won two legs back-to-back.

:39:51. > :39:56.Two lepgs that he had to win to -- legs that he had to win to deny

:39:57. > :39:58.Hogan the victory. Sedlacek achieves his first objective. He takes a set.

:39:59. > :40:21.Now, can he build from here? Paul says, when a couple of legs

:40:22. > :40:27.aren't going his way, he sometimes, literally, kicks himself.

:40:28. > :40:34.A tap on the ankle, just to get himself going again.

:40:35. > :41:09.And I don't know if he did, after the 41. If he did, it worked!

:41:10. > :41:18.It is tense all of a sudden. Oh, double 18! Not far away.

:41:19. > :41:34.And he's done it before. That is how he won the first leg of

:41:35. > :41:39.the last set. But Hogan hits the double 18.

:41:40. > :41:44.Takes early control of set number four.

:41:45. > :43:05.Decent standard this, isn't it? All the motions of the crowd - gets

:43:06. > :43:12.the crowd going. Wendy will be happy with the way that this particular

:43:13. > :43:17.leg has gone. Paul back for Shanghai 20s.

:43:18. > :43:27.To love a leg away again. Treble would have left double.

:43:28. > :43:38.Only way to take out 160. Two darts at double top to break the

:43:39. > :43:53.throw. One at double ten. Wendy can't look, neither can

:43:54. > :44:00.Carolina. Double top now for Sedlacek. And he

:44:01. > :44:06.can't hit it either. Two double four for Paul. He'll go

:44:07. > :44:16.for double five. Now, three for double one.

:44:17. > :44:24.Two tens. For Karel Sedlacek to hold his throw.

:44:25. > :44:52.Yes! Yes! A couple of times the Crocodile

:44:53. > :44:56.Dundee has had those big gnashers wide open. Sedlacek has wriggled

:44:57. > :44:59.away from the jaws of defeat. Still in there. Still fighting.

:45:00. > :45:27.Hogan still in control. He moves ahead in this set. He's

:45:28. > :46:35.done it! He's broken the throw. The Czech enterage delighted.

:46:36. > :46:39.He has the two breaks that he needed.

:46:40. > :46:47.Holds here and we go to a deciding fifth set. Again, it's not the

:46:48. > :46:52.scoreline necessarily that matters, so many times, it's how you get

:46:53. > :46:58.there. Paul, if it goes to 2-2, having blown a 2-0 lead will be

:46:59. > :47:01.ruing missed opportunities. He never had a match dart, but he was two

:47:02. > :47:09.awayment -- away. This will make him feel

:47:10. > :47:26.better. Number four for Paul Hogan.

:47:27. > :47:38.Follows it up with a 45. Still decent advantage for him though, in

:47:39. > :47:44.this leg, which if he wins, he knows he'll be one leg away from winning

:47:45. > :47:58.the match with the throw. If he wins.

:47:59. > :48:46.Shaded it in. It kissed the wire on its way through. He's broken back.

:48:47. > :48:48.Sedlacek has to break the throw again to stay alive. Which way is

:48:49. > :49:12.this match going? Steady start from Hogan, a ton and

:49:13. > :49:20.another. Sedlacek staying with him, dart for

:49:21. > :49:37.dart. Treble, for treble. He's only broken Hogan twice. But

:49:38. > :49:46.those two breaks have come in Hogan's last three legs.

:49:47. > :49:55.Suddenly a bit of clean air between Hogan and Sedlacek. He'll be back 80

:49:56. > :50:03.points away from winning the match. He's got six darts at it if he wants

:50:04. > :50:42.them. Sedlacek lives to fight another day.

:50:43. > :50:47.But needs to take out 104. What's he done there? Trouble 17 he

:50:48. > :50:48.needs now for the bull's-eye. He gets the treble 17. Bull's-eye on

:50:49. > :51:03.bust. Not far away. Not far away. But

:51:04. > :51:12.surely, now, it's Hogan's to win. Double top again. ( Now double ten.

:51:13. > :51:22.Double five. Yes! The local lad does it. Karel

:51:23. > :51:27.Sedlacek fought bravely and valiantly but Paul Hogan, who

:51:28. > :51:31.started in brilliant form, faultered as the finishing line approached,

:51:32. > :51:36.but he's got there, Crocodile Dundee makes it through to take on Scott

:51:37. > :51:45.Mitchell in the first round and ultimately the Czech's bounced out.

:51:46. > :51:51.An exciting debut, the man from the Czech Republic, Karel Sedlacek.

:51:52. > :51:55.APPLAUSE And through to the first round

:51:56. > :52:09.proper, cock dial Dundee, Paul Hogan. -- Crocodile Dundee.

:52:10. > :52:18.Check the averages, check the percentages, check the scoreboard,

:52:19. > :52:32.the Czech is out. Only after a real spirited fightback from Sedlacek.

:52:33. > :52:40.That was just a qualifier, one man coming back after the seven years,

:52:41. > :52:45.the other the first Czech player to ever play here. They put in a

:52:46. > :52:51.decents show. Hogan was in charge two first sets. Then the third set,

:52:52. > :52:59.couldn't hit a double, the pair of them. It went on and on. Any way,

:53:00. > :53:03.eventually the Czech won that one. I think the funny thing was the last

:53:04. > :53:10.score, though, when he had 104 left and he goes up and hits a trouble,

:53:11. > :53:15.the worse thing you can do, please, please hit the big one. It was very,

:53:16. > :53:21.very lucky to go into the treble one. He'll have that 141 for his

:53:22. > :53:26.first appearance. That's a brilliant memory to take away. The last six

:53:27. > :53:31.darts summed up the game, a little bizarre at times. He's hit the

:53:32. > :53:35.treble one, he wanted treble 18. Go on 51. He stopped. He shouldn't have

:53:36. > :53:49.stopped. He's laughing. I wouldn't have been laughing. Did he do that.

:53:50. > :53:54.I would have went straight for it. He's -- He's unlucky. That just

:53:55. > :53:58.upsets his rhythm. It did. I thought it did. Paul found it hard to get

:53:59. > :54:02.over the finishing line, you know why that is, of course, it's been a

:54:03. > :54:07.while since he's been up there. He admitted he had butter floo Is in

:54:08. > :54:14.his tummy and he -- butterflies in his tummy and he wanted his mummy.

:54:15. > :54:18.He had the game in control. He had it. I thought he was going to be 3-0

:54:19. > :54:23.and the guy isn't going to win a leg. It just changed. It shows you

:54:24. > :54:28.the game the darts can change. A few missed doubles and he's back in the

:54:29. > :54:33.game. The Czech done pretty well for the first time up there. He did and

:54:34. > :54:37.brought 20 or 30 of his family or friends who made a right racket

:54:38. > :54:43.throughout and it added to the first ever weekday atmosphere. If you look

:54:44. > :54:47.at it, it was over a 90 average for Paul Hogan, probably more important

:54:48. > :54:51.he reached the one in three checkout percentage. He talks to Rob Walker

:54:52. > :54:55.now. He's been mopping his brow, the old

:54:56. > :55:00.fellow has some gas in the tank. It looked like it was going to be so

:55:01. > :55:03.easy at one point and then the guy from the Czech Republic came back

:55:04. > :55:07.into it. Yeah, he did. I don't know the player but I knew he was good to

:55:08. > :55:11.get herement I thought I've got this in the bag and then all of a sudden

:55:12. > :55:16.I started to relax too much. He came back at me. I thought oh, my God,

:55:17. > :55:20.no, no please. Your heart must have been in your mouth, when he needed

:55:21. > :55:24.the bull to take it into a decider. I looked away, I had my head on the

:55:25. > :55:32.floor and I thought, oh, no, please miss. I thought, come on, tops,

:55:33. > :55:38.tens. Double five. It went in. Thank you. Your first appearance here in

:55:39. > :55:43.1995, that was the first time on the big stage since 2007. Who did it

:55:44. > :55:49.feel like to get back up there in front of the large crowds? It felt

:55:50. > :55:54.great. It felt like I've never been away. There was a lot of pressure on

:55:55. > :55:58.me. I thought I've just got to relamb and do my business. That's

:55:59. > :56:04.what you're here for to win dart games. Also, you must have felt at

:56:05. > :56:10.some point that a day like this would never come again in your

:56:11. > :56:14.career. Exactly, no. I didn't. I've done it the hard way five times come

:56:15. > :56:19.through the play-offs and it's just pot luck really. I'm over the moon.

:56:20. > :56:23.I tell you what, you've wound back the clock in style. We look forward

:56:24. > :56:26.to seeing you against Scott Mitchell. Well done today. Very

:56:27. > :56:30.entertaining. I tell you what, Colin, he's stilling in it and still

:56:31. > :56:34.smiling. Can't help smile when you're around

:56:35. > :56:39.Rob. That's never off his face on or off air. He has Scott Mitchell in

:56:40. > :56:43.the first round. Scott's very affable. We have him in the

:56:44. > :56:47.commentary box. As you say, it was a match of two halves for Paul. His

:56:48. > :56:52.Arg was over 90 in the first -- average was over 90 in the first

:56:53. > :56:58.set-and-a-half. If that early Paul Hogan turns up, can he go further?

:56:59. > :57:02.Yes, if he averages 90. Scott Mitchell is a tidy player. He has

:57:03. > :57:06.his work cut out. He knows Paul Hogan because he plays the county

:57:07. > :57:10.circuit. He's played in the Gold Cup. He might have been beaten in

:57:11. > :57:14.that, I don't know. He knows the guy can play darts and Paul didn't

:57:15. > :57:19.probably play his best game. Because it's been a while since he's been

:57:20. > :57:23.under that pressure. Now he's had a game, playing Scott Mitchell. Scott,

:57:24. > :57:28.it's not advantage to playing somebody he's already played. Have

:57:29. > :57:33.these eight qualifiers, 40 men in there. Four countries that have

:57:34. > :57:36.never been here. All these debutantes who knows nothing about.

:57:37. > :57:45.Let's take everyone through the draw.

:57:46. > :58:09.Tomorrow we see Bunting bun Stephen Bunting bunt. -- Stephen Stephen

:58:10. > :58:13.Bunting. The two casualties so far, Darryl Fitton earlier today and

:58:14. > :58:18.George junior, out on his back side big time, wasn't he? P let's look at

:58:19. > :58:39.the bottom half of the draw: Glenn is a very good player. I don't

:58:40. > :58:44.think he's played in this tournament before. Martin Adams not seeded,

:58:45. > :58:48.which is why the three-times champion is taking on one of his

:58:49. > :58:53.best friends, Tony O'Shea. Already a couple of first-round matches that

:58:54. > :58:59.we can't believe we're in the first round. The one we didn't mention is

:59:00. > :59:05.on stage now. Benito Van de Pas has his work cut out because Jermaine

:59:06. > :59:09.Beckford, the young man with all the Lake Lakeside -- Jan Dekker, the

:59:10. > :59:13.young man with all the Lakeside pedigree. I played really well the

:59:14. > :59:22.last three years. I hope I can do it as well this year. My first time

:59:23. > :59:31.here I reached the semis, I beat Scott Mitchell and Gary Thompson. I

:59:32. > :59:39.was playing really well that year. 2012 I lost to the winner, Christian

:59:40. > :59:44.Kist. That was also a good game. 96 average, I think. Last year I

:59:45. > :00:00.reached the quarters. This year, another chance.

:00:01. > :00:04.2012 it was Kist and now, he is a good player, but he is really young

:00:05. > :00:10.as well. I played him a few times against him, and I won most of the

:00:11. > :00:15.times, I think, but I know he can beat me, because his scoring power

:00:16. > :00:20.is really good. And I think I am the better player on the check outs and

:00:21. > :00:25.the finish, so if I am scoring well, then I will give myself a good

:00:26. > :00:28.chance to win it. So you have to beat one of your

:00:29. > :00:36.friend to get through this time. Yes, it is really hard, and you

:00:37. > :00:41.playing so it is not a friend this week, only after the game. And do

:00:42. > :00:45.you travel round on the circuit together? Do you practise together

:00:46. > :00:51.back home in Holland? No, we don't practise but we leave two hours from

:00:52. > :00:55.each oh but when we are in tournaments, we practise together.

:00:56. > :01:00.At the beginning of the tournament. You have lost both your first round

:01:01. > :01:05.matches so far, but both were very close. Not least last year when

:01:06. > :01:09.Darryl Fitton put you out only with a tie-break, what would it mean

:01:10. > :01:12.third time lucky to get into the second round? I played Darryl last

:01:13. > :01:20.year and I was in front all game, but I can't finish it, and I think

:01:21. > :01:27.this year, yeah, I played a really guide match at the Mats ter, and I

:01:28. > :01:32.think I can win my first round. Why is Dutch darts going so well. We

:01:33. > :01:37.know the figures like Barney, there are so many young players continuing

:01:38. > :01:44.to emerge, it is a fantastic strength and dep. The last

:01:45. > :01:48.two-yearings because it is a lot on the Dutch television, that is why

:01:49. > :01:55.the young guys are playing tarts now. Do you think you have a big

:01:56. > :02:01.future cur, if not this year in future years? I hope so, I am young,

:02:02. > :02:07.I am good and I want to play, quarter-final, semifinal, final, and

:02:08. > :02:10.I will do that in the future. They stay together they travel

:02:11. > :02:16.together, they are very tight knit. They are loud in the bar, the young

:02:17. > :02:20.Dutch men, they play card games and sing until two or three in the

:02:21. > :02:24.morning. It's a close affair. He is a good play e he does all the

:02:25. > :02:31.circuit. He has a bit of character with him, a bit of humour, his game,

:02:32. > :02:35.he is not so head down and doesn't sulk much. Jan Dekker is a good

:02:36. > :02:39.player, a bit lucky sometimes the way he plays but he has been in the

:02:40. > :02:45.semifinal, and quarter-finals here as well. He got to the semifinals,

:02:46. > :02:49.then he was beaten by Kist who went on the win that year, he did have

:02:50. > :02:53.match darts against Richie when Richie George beat him, he has it in

:02:54. > :03:00.his locker. He still wants to win, he wants to be in the finals, but,

:03:01. > :03:04.Benito van de Pas, it will be a tough game for him. He was unlucky

:03:05. > :03:08.not to win a few rounds. Because he hasn't had a win, we have to remind

:03:09. > :03:15.people it was a week or so before his 19th birthday, he looked about

:03:16. > :03:19.12, he had his parents with him. He still has his mum with him. He is 20

:03:20. > :03:27.at the moment. His birthday is next week, we have to have a bit of

:03:28. > :03:32.patient. Benneteau was in the semi regularly, he was mixing it with

:03:33. > :03:43.that each of youth quality. Even my son used to play in Holland with

:03:44. > :03:49.these guy, so they come up the ladder together. This young guy has

:03:50. > :03:54.a lot of talent. If he keeps at it, if he doesn't do well this week, he

:03:55. > :04:00.will do well if he keeps at it. It has the talent to do it. We know one

:04:01. > :04:05.player had the Lakeside pedigree. We wait for the other to bloom. Are you

:04:06. > :04:12.going to take a risk? I am going to go for the baby. Which one? Benito

:04:13. > :04:17.van de Pas the baby. He is 20 but we are nearly there. I will go for the

:04:18. > :04:25.other baby, idea idea -- Jan Dekker. A combined age out there of 43. Jan

:04:26. > :04:30.Dekker at 23, Benito van de Pas 20, and introduced by our 43 inch MC

:04:31. > :04:37.Richard it's the 2014 Lakeside World

:04:38. > :04:41.Championships here at the home of World Darts.

:04:42. > :04:46.We now introduce our number six seed and former semifinalist, the

:04:47. > :04:51.reigning International Open champion champion, the Double Decker arrives

:04:52. > :05:54.at Lakeside. Jan His opponent a fellow Dutch

:05:55. > :06:05.international and European Cup champion, the former German Open

:06:06. > :06:46.champion, introducing Big Ben, Benito

:06:47. > :07:01.So will it be wham bang thank you ma'am or will it be go, go, go? Two

:07:02. > :07:07.young Dutch darting mates aiming for doubles but it is anything but

:07:08. > :07:13.duvenl, Benito van de Pas turns 21 next week, but here is here for the

:07:14. > :07:19.third time yet to win a match. He is hoping for third time lucky but he

:07:20. > :07:23.won't hold his breath. He is up against his good mate Jan Dekker who

:07:24. > :07:28.does tend to beat him. The 23-year-old is here for the fourth

:07:29. > :07:32.time, he reached the semifinals on debut in 2011 and the quarter-final

:07:33. > :07:37.last year. Double Dekker says he just loves it at Lakeside. He calls

:07:38. > :07:43.it his New Year treat, which is pretty much how we feel about it.

:07:44. > :07:49.Dekker the favourite. But a word of warning, van de Pas through a nine

:07:50. > :07:54.dart leg in -- threw a nine dart leg in practise. Two youngsters from

:07:55. > :07:58.Holland and to be honest it could go either way. I know Jan Dekker is

:07:59. > :08:07.seeded six, but at this rate, I don't think the seedings is going to

:08:08. > :08:12.count. Great mates away from the oche. Just

:08:13. > :08:18.as Benito gets under way, you may have noticed he was hoeding a

:08:19. > :08:22.football shirt he has walked on, a shirt of the team in Holland, he has

:08:23. > :08:43.two good mates who were involved in a car accident, who play for that

:08:44. > :08:52.club. On Christmas night. Ronald van ickke is still in hospital. Vermeer

:08:53. > :09:00.is recovering. Get well soon. Please do.

:09:01. > :09:11.So we have had nine darts thrown. And it is going to be a level game.

:09:12. > :09:23.In the early stages. We know the talent they have got in Holland.

:09:24. > :10:01.These are the kids brought So Jan Dekker, 261. When Barney

:10:02. > :10:11.reached his first Lakeside final, Benito was two-year-old.

:10:12. > :10:28.Good finish. Treble 20. Still treble 17. He has a shot at the bull.

:10:29. > :10:37.Singsle 20. Had to move. Double 20. Double 10. Early stage, a few

:10:38. > :10:43.nerves. Two 18s for Jan Dekker to take the first leg against the

:10:44. > :10:59.darts. Two nines. Miles away.

:11:00. > :11:07.So is that. Taking time to get used to

:11:08. > :11:27.Could be fast and furious. He paces that board out with his

:11:28. > :11:47.legally concentrate, doesn't he, Benito. Jan Dekker told me he was

:11:48. > :11:56.feeling really confident. He has had that confidence in himself since

:11:57. > :12:06.June. When he won the International Open. A good cover shot. He said I

:12:07. > :12:18.play the circuit, and I am seeded sixth. Why wouldn't I be confident?

:12:19. > :12:35.Right in the middle of the oche. Good.

:12:36. > :12:59.three loose darts. Not got the rhythm yet. I am sure it will soon

:13:00. > :13:13.be coming forth, once they loosen the arm. Get used to the stage. And

:13:14. > :13:19.a great crowd for an afternoon. So he was going for a treble and a

:13:20. > :13:24.double 18. He has taken 60 off it. Benito van de Pas with a chance at

:13:25. > :13:32.92. To take early control of this first set. Double 18. You have to

:13:33. > :13:43.love the way they go round the board, Tony, keeps us on our toes.

:13:44. > :13:51.Yes two double 18s was the shot. So 17, would give him double 16. OK.

:13:52. > :14:00.Double 16. He has missed four darts at a double. And van de Pas... With

:14:01. > :14:07.a chance at double nine. That is a great marker. He can come off the

:14:08. > :14:23.barrel if he wants. No score. Double 16. Yes.

:14:24. > :14:30.The girls certainly love their darts. Dear, they are giving it some

:14:31. > :14:54.stick. Quiet start from two players with

:14:55. > :15:01.Lakeside experience. And with experience playing against each

:15:02. > :15:03.other, with each other. Still plenty of time for this match to catch

:15:04. > :15:38.fire. Let's hope it does. Dekker beat the number-one seed in

:15:39. > :15:46.2012. We know the talent these two youngsters have.

:15:47. > :15:52.We mentioned it's the third time in a row that Jan Dekker has faced one

:15:53. > :16:01.of his Dutch mates in round one here. In 2012 he lost 3-2 to

:16:02. > :16:07.Christian Kist. He beat Jeffrey de Graaf 3-2 in the first round last

:16:08. > :16:12.year. Then edged out Gary Thompson in

:16:13. > :16:15.round two before losing 5-4 to Richie George in the quarter finals.

:16:16. > :16:43.A man he feels he should have won. No score, until then, of 100-plus in

:16:44. > :17:01.this leg from Jan Dekker. That's a 2-1 lead in the set.

:17:02. > :17:12.He's not in the game so far in this set.

:17:13. > :17:28.Just a nervy second leg went the way of Dekker.

:17:29. > :17:40.Still haven't found their scoring, have they? No, it's all loose. The

:17:41. > :17:55.fact that they know each other's game may have an indication.

:17:56. > :18:03.Jan in this leg has hit 45, 39 - he needed that treble just to stay in

:18:04. > :18:38.touch. Right, come on, boys. Who wants

:18:39. > :18:41.this? That's maybe because they're trying a little bit too hard. Like I

:18:42. > :18:48.said, they practice with each other. There you go, Tony. That's what this

:18:49. > :19:07.match needed. Yes. Five darts from 236 for Jan

:19:08. > :19:48.Dekker. Much more like it. It does happen sometimes, three or

:19:49. > :19:55.four legs to settle on the Lakeside stage. Yeah, but I think - because

:19:56. > :20:00.really two of them, they're both mates and how do you get aggression

:20:01. > :20:07.at times? It's difficult. They weren't chatting back stage. But

:20:08. > :20:11.they were very much acknowledging each other's presence. Jan Dekker

:20:12. > :20:14.comes here with an enterage of 13, the same 13 people that come every

:20:15. > :20:19.year. 2006 would be believe Klasen won his

:20:20. > :21:05.world title. Feels like yesterday. Unlucky.

:21:06. > :21:34.Spends a lot of time sand papering his tips so that doesn't happen.

:21:35. > :21:45.This is for the set. Against the darts.

:21:46. > :22:06.She can't watch. Now she can celebrate.

:22:07. > :22:24.One set has gone by and it's gone to Dekker.

:22:25. > :22:32.Really good crowd in on a Monday afternoon.

:22:33. > :22:39.First nonbank holiday afternoon darts at Lakeside.

:22:40. > :22:45.We're here every afternoon throughout the week, live on BBC

:22:46. > :22:54.Two, 1pm start time. He seems to be pulling his darts a

:22:55. > :22:59.little, that's why they're going astray, not getting the full

:23:00. > :23:00.extension. He had a good leg-and-a-half, Jan Dekker. He's

:23:01. > :23:14.gone off the boil again. That's more like his throw.

:23:15. > :23:50.Straight down the oche, no problem. Three great darts there.

:23:51. > :23:54.He had eight or nine bounce-out. That was last year, did Benito Van

:23:55. > :24:05.de Pas. After that magnificent 170, he's

:24:06. > :24:13.left himself double 16. To win a third leg in a row. Cysty is a very

:24:14. > :24:19.good darts player in her own right and she approves.

:24:20. > :24:27.Benito needs to get himself into the game now, slipping away.

:24:28. > :24:35.Some very loose darts, the pair of them, but it's Dekker that's really

:24:36. > :24:39.coming to the fore now. Interesting the way they both stare

:24:40. > :24:43.at the board, as they're throwing their darts. Benito Van de Pas looks

:24:44. > :24:47.like he's going to do damage to the board, almost as if he has a picture

:24:48. > :24:52.of someone he doesn't like on the board. Whereas Jan Dekker looks

:24:53. > :24:56.almost apologetic as they throws the dart into the board and the bottom

:24:57. > :25:04.lip comes out. It puts me in mind of my seven-year-old when I tell him he

:25:05. > :25:11.can't have another sweet. At the moment, Benito Van de Pas has

:25:12. > :25:13.plenty to look angry about. That's his fourth bounce-out. It was in the

:25:14. > :25:22.treble as well. I think he was playing Alan Norris

:25:23. > :25:26.last year when he had those nine bounce-out.

:25:27. > :27:28.There she goes, cysty. That was a break of throw. This is

:27:29. > :27:31.for a two-set lead now. Yeah, getting better darts now. They've

:27:32. > :28:18.loosened up, especially Jan. Jan Dekker with a very smooth throw.

:28:19. > :28:23.Benito Van de Pas has tried, in recent history, to change the angle

:28:24. > :28:29.of approach of his darts, so that he gets fewer bounce-outs. An hour or

:28:30. > :28:33.so ago, he was sanding the tips of his darts to make sure he didn't get

:28:34. > :28:40.all these bounce-out. He spends about a minute per dart with sand

:28:41. > :28:49.paper, roughing them up. All you need is a pup I stone.

:28:50. > :28:51.That's what I used to -- pumice stone, that is what I used to take

:28:52. > :29:15.around. Little bit of information from our

:29:16. > :29:22.sand department, who know everything essentially, and we learn that the

:29:23. > :29:29.strength of impact of Benito Van de Pas, when he aims at 139, in fact

:29:30. > :29:35.whatever he aims at, he can't finish now - is very light. The dart

:29:36. > :30:15.caresses the board as it comes in. Single 20. Double top.

:30:16. > :30:19.Double ten. Yes, he's done it. Mum Sylvia. She will know that was a

:30:20. > :30:27.very important leg for Benito to win. He looks happier about things

:30:28. > :30:31.and his darts look better. It is amazing what breaking a run of

:30:32. > :30:50.losing legs can do. Yes, still got to get past Jan

:30:51. > :31:04.Dekker with this one. One set up, 2-1 in this set. Don't want to go

:31:05. > :31:15.two down. Dekker keeps the pressure on. Van de Pas responds, but is 94

:31:16. > :31:27.enough? OK. Two treble 20s and the bull.

:31:28. > :31:59.Simple as that. The level this set, at two legs

:32:00. > :32:04.apiece. Treble 17 would have left double top, he will aim at the 14s

:32:05. > :32:17.now. And it is 32, if and when he comes back. Dekker with 147 for the

:32:18. > :32:31.set, can't now do that. Must not miss. Double eight for Benito van de

:32:32. > :32:40.Pas. Yes, doesn't miss. And this is a very big leg.

:32:41. > :32:48.Benito, you have to take this. You don't want to go two sets down. You

:32:49. > :33:02.have saved this set so far. Now you have to take it. That is a good one.

:33:03. > :33:15.Plenty of room left, could fill it up. Only a fraction, but it is more

:33:16. > :33:36.pressure on Benito. Side view, still didn't help. Looking very relaxed.

:33:37. > :33:45.Not enough. Six darts from 189 at least for Jan Dekker to win this

:33:46. > :34:00.set. 93 is the finish Jan Dekker will be

:34:01. > :34:12.coming for, to go two sets to love up. In fact he has six from 93,

:34:13. > :34:20.hasn't he. Double 18 for set point. Yes, it is.

:34:21. > :34:34.Yes, she is making a point and it is 2-0 to Dekker.

:34:35. > :34:50.Dekker knows how important that was. Benito was begins to get a bit of a

:34:51. > :34:56.foot hold into the match. Cracking darts to win that leg, hold this

:34:57. > :35:15.throw, win the set, and now he is a set away, Jan Dekker. He is the man

:35:16. > :35:27.now, he really is, plenty of room for another one. He is relaxed in

:35:28. > :35:36.his throw, you can see it. He is trying to force his game, now, is

:35:37. > :35:41.van de Pas. Looking at the check out percentage, sixths six out of 12 is

:35:42. > :35:48.very good. Four out of 16, not so. Cover shots coming in as well. On a

:35:49. > :36:09.finish already after nine darts, Jan Dekker. This is to break the throw.

:36:10. > :36:15.He will be back. Benito has not had a score over 60 in in leg. He has

:36:16. > :36:33.really not got into this game. He has left himself double 16, and

:36:34. > :36:37.at the moment he is under no pressure at all. Double 16, that is

:36:38. > :36:52.what Dekker needs, the best double on the board, they reckon. We are

:36:53. > :37:02.going to find out. Double 16. No score. So Benito... There is a

:37:03. > :37:09.chance here, good finish 138. Went the 19s route. Can't now finish. So

:37:10. > :37:15.a fourth go at double 16 to break the throw and win the leg.

:37:16. > :37:36.And move two away from winning the match.

:37:37. > :37:55.Hitting a few trebles now, it is a big come back from this stage,

:37:56. > :38:14.getting no luck. Out number six for Benito van de Pas. Cost him his

:38:15. > :38:18.first maximum. Derek with a nice smooth flow now. And in the 19s as

:38:19. > :38:51.well. So finish 167 for Dekker. Benito van de Pas back on 225. He

:38:52. > :38:59.has got the look of a beaten man about him. He has done nothing at

:39:00. > :39:06.all. Not a thing, just left it all with Dekker to finish it off. Double

:39:07. > :39:09.16 the shot. One to go. He will be back. Yes, 186 still on

:39:10. > :39:20.the board. So another double 16 chance to move

:39:21. > :39:43.the leg away. It's one way traffic, that's all. We

:39:44. > :39:50.should mention the red heart badges that the players are wearing on

:39:51. > :39:56.their collar, it is a simple of the Heart of Darts charity we has been

:39:57. > :40:02.going since 2000. -- symbol. Almost all of the players are wearing the

:40:03. > :40:10.heart. I notice that big Rob had it as an earring.

:40:11. > :40:28.Is that the one? Yeah. He did have it in his ear, didn't he, rob owe --

:40:29. > :40:38.Robbo. Not enough I don't think for Benito, not at this stage ga. 2-0

:40:39. > :40:45.now. Better get into the trebles. Seems to have lost belief since his

:40:46. > :40:51.brief come back in the second set was extinguished. He still has his

:40:52. > :40:56.mind at the game as well, because he has left that 170. Obviously gives

:40:57. > :41:07.them the chance, you have to take it. Come on, let's so it go. Yes,

:41:08. > :41:16.come on, let's have another. Unlucky.

:41:17. > :41:27.Match point, Jan Dekker. There's a treble 20. There's the nine. Double

:41:28. > :41:34.16 for the match. Good end. To a decent match. Benito van de Pas

:41:35. > :41:44.never found top form on the stage and Jan Dekker did enough. He goes

:41:45. > :41:50.through. Ladies and gentlemen as leaves the

:41:51. > :41:55.stage, let's hear it for Big Ben, Benito van de Pas. And a former

:41:56. > :41:59.semifinalist through to the next round, the double Dekker is on his

:42:00. > :42:19.way, Jan Dekker. -- Double Dekker. It was meant to be a battle between

:42:20. > :42:25.Dutch men but only half of one of them showed up. It was afternoon to

:42:26. > :42:39.forget for young Benito, I doubt he will be asking for a DVD of that

:42:40. > :42:44.bobby George, we didn't get anything of what we expected from that game

:42:45. > :42:48.after a bit of prematch hype, but for young Benito that is the type of

:42:49. > :42:54.game that makes you throw your darts in the lake. That was terrible. Both

:42:55. > :42:58.did really. I mean, 83 and 75 average, that is terrible. I mean

:42:59. > :43:03.they have to play, obviously they play better than that to get there,

:43:04. > :43:06.Benito lost a lot of darts but his points are two-and-a-half inches

:43:07. > :43:11.long. We will get to that in a second. Jan Dekker went out here, he

:43:12. > :43:16.is lost with a 96 average, so that was almost more disappointment.

:43:17. > :43:20.Because Benito, as a 20-year-old has struggled on this the stage before,

:43:21. > :43:26.but for Jan to put out that performance, he will be thinking I

:43:27. > :43:29.won't get away with that. In a World Championship you shouldn't get away

:43:30. > :43:35.with that. Can you explain that, you know what Benito has got, never hits

:43:36. > :43:40.an average that low, his darts were going in at a 45 degree angle and

:43:41. > :43:44.they were soft. Which is why they were falling out of the board The

:43:45. > :43:50.points are so long. If they were any longer he could push them in. They

:43:51. > :43:54.are massive. They are like two-and-a-half inches long. I was

:43:55. > :44:00.watching them practising and there was 100, 140, nice and tidy, come up

:44:01. > :44:06.here, one, fives, it was, it was awful darts. It was awful. I have to

:44:07. > :44:09.tell the truth, it was awful, the game. But for Jan Dekker it is a

:44:10. > :44:14.great day for him because he has won. The main thing in dart, you get

:44:15. > :44:19.in front and beat your opponent. That is what you have to do. He got

:44:20. > :44:23.the job done and Rob Walker is finding out his thoughts on the

:44:24. > :44:26.match. Yes, a funny old match really, Jan, congratulations, you

:44:27. > :44:33.got the job done, but it wasn't really the fireworks we expected No,

:44:34. > :44:38.I have to say in the beginning I was nervous and I was not playing well,

:44:39. > :44:43.but after I think two or three sets I was playing well, and I am so

:44:44. > :44:48.happy to win against Benito, because I know he is a good player, it is

:44:49. > :44:53.just, you have to do it on stage, and it is for us hard, for us Bolt.

:44:54. > :44:57.You did get across the line actually. Talk us through the final

:44:58. > :45:02.darts, you can see them on the screen. Yes, I thought I would have

:45:03. > :45:07.to hit the treble and I did it, and just single nine and double 16. Just

:45:08. > :45:14.in the middle of it. A nice shimmy at the end, a little puff the chest

:45:15. > :45:19.out. Yes, I know Benito is also one of the players from Holland who are

:45:20. > :45:28.really good. I know I had to do it against him, so, but I am really

:45:29. > :45:33.happy with my winning. How difficult is it to play such a

:45:34. > :45:40.good friend? It is. But I have to say, in the last three years, I have

:45:41. > :45:46.to play against a Dutchman, it was Christian Kist in 2012, 2013 it was

:45:47. > :45:50.De Graaf and now Benito. For me, it's always the same. We're glad to

:45:51. > :45:54.see you're still smiling. Semifinalist a couple of years ago,

:45:55. > :45:58.quarters last year, you're back on the big stage, where you seem to

:45:59. > :46:02.really enjoy life. We'll see you in the next round. Well done. Thank

:46:03. > :46:07.you. I understand that, you might know

:46:08. > :46:10.somebody away from the oche. I'm sorry, at this level, when you get

:46:11. > :46:12.on the stage, it shouldn't be a factor. You should be professional

:46:13. > :46:16.enough to know that the friendship ends when the doors open and the

:46:17. > :46:20.lights come on. You play the dartboard, you don't play the

:46:21. > :46:24.person. You have to hate the person when you're on the dartboard. It

:46:25. > :46:27.sounds bad, but in any sport you have to have that inside you. You've

:46:28. > :46:32.got to say I'm going to beat this guy up. I'm going to knock his head

:46:33. > :46:40.of, sort of thing. Friend or no friend, it's to win. It play like

:46:41. > :46:46.that, Benito is a good dart player, he had a nightmare today. And Jan

:46:47. > :46:57.had half a nightmare. The problem was Dekker had a nightmare but

:46:58. > :47:02.Benito's nightmare's had nightmares. Dekker's checkout percentages were

:47:03. > :47:08.46%. Nine out of 20, which is top class. He finished OK. He won't

:47:09. > :47:12.survive if he carries on like that. If, as I said at the beginning of

:47:13. > :47:15.the match, we're going to have a match like that, I wouldn't have

:47:16. > :47:21.watched it. I was so disappointed in it to be honest with you. Would it

:47:22. > :47:24.just be me standing here? Right we'll be watching tonight from 6pm

:47:25. > :47:28.on the red button, four more match ups for you. We've got Julie Gore,

:47:29. > :48:21.which is in the ladies draw: The two handy players in tonight's

:48:22. > :48:28.draw, who will be open to do a bit better would be Marianne Vos and

:48:29. > :48:35.Ross Montgomery. -- Geert de e Vos is a neat, tidy

:48:36. > :48:40.player. I like watching him play darts. Ross Montgomery is very

:48:41. > :48:45.political tear. He's always there or there abouts. Prins is playing as

:48:46. > :48:50.well. This is the game I want to watch tonight. Prins has been here

:48:51. > :48:55.five times... Five round every time. He's never Ron. No. He said to me,

:48:56. > :49:01."If I win the first round, I'm going to win the championship. " He could

:49:02. > :49:06.be right this year. He's got to win the first round to start with. He

:49:07. > :49:09.has. But he ain't won a first round. Quite interesting match ups. We have

:49:10. > :49:13.the preliminaries this year and we will turn back with the extra time

:49:14. > :49:19.we have, we turn back the clock to last night and Jim Widmayer looking

:49:20. > :49:23.to become the first American to win at Lakeside, just a match, not the

:49:24. > :49:25.tournament. He faced Gary Thompson and we join it best of five sets at

:49:26. > :49:40.2-2 at the beginning of the decider. Jim Widmayer, from the point of no

:49:41. > :49:45.return almost, back to 2-2 and throwing first in this dis dissive

:49:46. > :49:58.-- decisive fifth set. He's got the direction now, he's got

:49:59. > :50:25.the feel. It takes a lot to faze Gary. It

:50:26. > :50:27.looks as though he's beating himself up a little bit out there. He keeps

:50:28. > :50:59.shaking his head and everything. Another errant first dart. That

:51:00. > :51:45.blight's Jim's round the first couple of sets.

:51:46. > :51:48.Three misses from Jim, an opportunity spurned. Will he be

:51:49. > :52:07.punished? Six darts at double ten and he's

:52:08. > :52:26.missed them all. He's got it.

:52:27. > :52:45.So going ahead for a long time. Maybe this is the time where Jim can

:52:46. > :53:31.now take the match over. There this is critical legs in the

:53:32. > :54:09.set. Still a long way to go for Jim. He

:54:10. > :54:12.was leading in this set, the final one.

:54:13. > :54:35.That doesn't help anything. Yes. Great recovery. It wasn't the

:54:36. > :54:38.way he meant to get to 80, but he got to it and that's all that

:54:39. > :55:01.matters at this stage of the game. Neither of them have really got

:55:02. > :55:04.going, if truth be known. Both will be disappointed with their averages,

:55:05. > :55:09.which are in the mid-70s at the moment.

:55:10. > :55:12.That's what I'm saying, 140, then suddenly, he hits 15. You can't do

:55:13. > :55:34.it. You can't win on that. 19 legs we've had so far and only

:55:35. > :55:36.three have gone against the darts. Gary's broken Jim twice, but all

:55:37. > :56:06.academic. He needs to get him sl close.

:56:07. > :56:10.He's done that with a good second dart.

:56:11. > :56:19.He was hoping to leave himself double 8 by leaving the treble.

:56:20. > :56:36.It's been a disappointing leg for Gary.

:56:37. > :56:49.He takes a 2-1 lead in this fifth set. Gary has to hold here.

:56:50. > :56:57.He has the advantage. He's got to take this advantage. It's a good

:56:58. > :57:04.start. Thompson really has not shown his true form. Widmayer had spasms,

:57:05. > :57:16.but certainly out outdone Thompson. The pressure is telling. Yeah, it

:57:17. > :57:37.certainly is. The one big advantage Jim has got in

:57:38. > :57:44.the check-outs, they both hit ten, but Jim from significantly fewer

:57:45. > :57:47.attempts. Nevertheless, everything still going with throw at the moment

:57:48. > :58:32.effectively. Looks like we're going to go all the

:58:33. > :58:36.way, somehow. I just have that feeling.

:58:37. > :58:54.That's a big 140 from Gary. 170 for the match.

:58:55. > :59:05.He stays alive. He held his nerve beautifully there.

:59:06. > :59:18.The final set must be won by two clear legs. The referee just

:59:19. > :59:26.reminding the audience here exactly what the situation is. You have to

:59:27. > :59:30.win by two clear legs. If it gets to 5-5, then we have a winner takes all

:59:31. > :00:00.sudden death 11th leg. He just flicks his hand across add

:00:01. > :00:05.and the dart follows away from it. I was been watching it all the time

:00:06. > :00:10.with Garry. I don't know if he realised it, see

:00:11. > :00:19.if he does it here. That's it, that first one is all right. There we go.

:00:20. > :00:30.Flick. Jill well in control of this fifth

:00:31. > :00:41.leg of the fifth set. -- Jim.

:00:42. > :01:07.He has 82 left. Could go for the bull. Well, 241 is a throw. 32 for

:01:08. > :01:15.Widmayer. I fancy Widmayer. Double 16. He leads again. And Garry back

:01:16. > :01:21.in the same position as he was. Fire fighting. He needs the storm

:01:22. > :01:34.troopers and more, another leg he has to win to stay in the match. Jim

:01:35. > :01:41.breaks here and he's won. A good ton that. Still, just the

:01:42. > :01:45.three breaks in the entire match. That is what I was trying to say,

:01:46. > :02:02.that one, going for 20, his hand just went the other way. Right

:02:03. > :02:17.across the board. Good cover shot, keeps him there.

:02:18. > :02:42.Very little in it. The advantage with Garry. 155.

:02:43. > :02:53.So 126 for Widmayer when he comes in. Not a bad finish, 126. And this

:02:54. > :03:00.is for the match. Treble 19. Would have left bull. Instead of treble 19

:03:01. > :03:09.he ends up with a single three. Garry again, can breathe again. 98.

:03:10. > :03:20.80 left. Wanted two, lots of double top. So 84 for the match. Jim's task

:03:21. > :03:38.getting easier. 14. Double 11 for the match. For Jim Widmayer. Double

:03:39. > :03:48.top to save the match. What a game! All the way we're going.

:03:49. > :03:58.The finishing line was in sight. A dart at double 11. To win the game

:03:59. > :04:04.and he couldn't take it, and Garry again, nerveless. Last three darts

:04:05. > :04:22.that Garry's had at doubles, he has hit them all. He has had to.

:04:23. > :04:32.The thing is neither have had any clear-cut chance, when you think,

:04:33. > :04:37.the way it has developed. Just that one dart in the last le, that's been

:04:38. > :04:45.it. Garry hasn't been able to put any pressure on Jim's throw since

:04:46. > :04:52.about the second set. He broke his throw in the third leg of the third

:04:53. > :05:00.set. Jim missed a dart at double 18 and Garry hit double ten. Since then

:05:01. > :05:11.Jim has been able to hold very routinely. It has to be won by two

:05:12. > :05:22.clear leg, just to remind you. Yes, good, good.

:05:23. > :05:35.Is yes. 80 left. 264 the score for Garry Thompson. Another single 20

:05:36. > :05:44.leaves double top. So a chance here for Garry. A good finish 124. 14

:05:45. > :05:55.leaves the bull. He has to go for the bull, and he has left the chance

:05:56. > :06:03.for Jim Widmayer. Double if five. Oh, Jim. This is a

:06:04. > :06:19.big, big chance now for Garry Thompson. Goushl.

:06:20. > :06:31.It is headaches all round that the table.

:06:32. > :06:39.Can Gary do it? Exactly the same task. -- Garry. Exactly the same

:06:40. > :06:48.result. No score. Let's spin the coin. OK.

:06:49. > :06:59.It's nerves though. It is grabbing them both.

:07:00. > :07:05.That's the one. Advantage Widmayer. And again he is playing catching up

:07:06. > :07:11.and again he is doing so on the back of having taken a big psychological

:07:12. > :07:17.batter, had the chances, to steal the dart, he has been so good on his

:07:18. > :07:23.own. Had he put that double two he would have been throwing for the

:07:24. > :07:30.match. -- hit that double two. As it is he is throwing to save the match.

:07:31. > :07:57.He has a good start though, here, at 114. He is back in the red again.

:07:58. > :08:08.He has thrown better under pressure! This he has been a good leg for

:08:09. > :08:22.Garry. Two guys have been at it hammer and

:08:23. > :08:26.Tongs for just a shade under an hour.

:08:27. > :08:42.If Garry holds here, we are still no closer to knowing who is going to

:08:43. > :09:03.win. Garry Thompson on eight. Double four.

:09:04. > :09:15.Double four. Oh. Must win by two clear legs. And Widmayer has got one

:09:16. > :09:25.of them. 52 points left, Jim. For the match. Double 16. Double eight

:09:26. > :09:29.for the match. More match darts missed.

:09:30. > :09:36.Another life for Garry Thompson. Surely time, double two, to save it.

:09:37. > :09:46.He's bust. And Jim will be back, looking at double eight. Tense,

:09:47. > :09:55.nervous headaches. Can the man from America come in and take it. Game,

:09:56. > :10:00.shot and the match. Jim Widmayer. His Lakeside debut ends in victory,

:10:01. > :10:04.and boy, did he do it the hard way. Mismatched darts but got over the

:10:05. > :10:08.line to beat Garry Thompson the Lakeside veteran, he becomes the

:10:09. > :10:14.first American to win a game here at Lakeside, in 16 years.

:10:15. > :10:18.He does but every time Garry Thompson takes to that stage he

:10:19. > :10:24.looks like he loses 6 years of his life. Especially when it gets to

:10:25. > :10:28.deciding sets. He has fallen short, I wonder will he be thinking enough

:10:29. > :10:32.is enough? I watched that game, after he played last night, on the

:10:33. > :10:38.late show, and he was in the pub. And he said to me, I am going to

:10:39. > :10:42.pack it in, after the performance, I said I thought you packed in before

:10:43. > :10:47.you started. You are always compassionate. I know. He is a very

:10:48. > :10:52.good floor player. So is Jim. Good on the floor, dangerous but he is

:10:53. > :10:58.all over the shop when he goes on the stage. So these new

:10:59. > :11:06.international face, it is probably Madars Razma who plays tonight that

:11:07. > :11:10.stand out the most. Yes, he is a good player, but his opponent is as

:11:11. > :11:13.well. It is interesting, it is not just about winning, because of all

:11:14. > :11:20.the new faces the one that made the impact was the one who lost. I can't

:11:21. > :11:27.say his name. I forgot. You are so fickle. Hiroaki Shimizu. There was a

:11:28. > :11:29.few more casualties today in the live darts in the afternoon we have

:11:30. > :11:34.had for the first time from the Lakeside. We started with Darryl

:11:35. > :11:38.Fitton who lost his match against Tony Eccles, he enjoy his finest

:11:39. > :11:42.moment on that stage and much credit to him.

:11:43. > :11:47.And the return of Paul Hogan to the Lakeside, and Crocodile Dundee won

:11:48. > :11:52.his qualifier against our first ever player from the Czech Republic,

:11:53. > :11:58.Karel Sedlaek, so Paul Hogan through.

:11:59. > :12:02.And finally, nothing much to report from that final game between Jan

:12:03. > :12:05.Dekker and Benito van de Pas but it was Jan who progressed and he will

:12:06. > :12:10.only get better as you imagine from here on in.

:12:11. > :12:14.What do you make from today more than anything Bobby? Probably the

:12:15. > :12:18.disappointment of Jan Dekker's performance and yet again a first

:12:19. > :12:24.round exit forfeit fit. It is a shame, Darryl Fitton. He is on the

:12:25. > :12:29.doubles again, but then he got Jan Dekker, and Benito van de Pas, that

:12:30. > :12:34.was awful to be honest. Normally you remember the good games but I will

:12:35. > :12:39.remember that one. You have to be honest. What is good tomorrow is

:12:40. > :12:45.guys who have been sitting on their hands, we will see Bunting, O'Shea

:12:46. > :12:50.again, Adam, we will see the Jammie Dodger Jamie Wilson, o a lot to be

:12:51. > :12:55.excited about tomorrow on BBC Two. We will see some good players

:12:56. > :12:59.hopefully tomorrow. We should do. You got your predictions wrong

:13:00. > :13:04.today, I think we need a break after that. Thank you for tuning in, no

:13:05. > :13:08.highlights in the afternoon on BBC Two, we will be taking you through

:13:09. > :13:13.with live action n the evening it is the red button at 6.30 is what you

:13:14. > :13:15.want to go to. We will be back after 11 with highlights of the play on
