:00:33. > :00:39.Welcome back to the Lakeside where the crowd are taking a breather
:00:40. > :00:44.before we hand out our first silverware of this week. It's the
:00:45. > :00:47.ladies' trophy, Deta Hedman and Lisa Ashton have never won it before.
:00:48. > :00:51.They go for the title in just minutes. If you are joining us for
:00:52. > :00:58.the first time today, as we switch from BBC One to BBC Two, it's a
:00:59. > :01:02.pleasure to have you along. Bobby George leading the way. The captain
:01:03. > :01:09.of our ship. Both girls are averaging in around and around 80,
:01:10. > :01:16.wonderful stuff of the increased format of 16. Deta Hedman, over half
:01:17. > :01:21.53%, that is clinical from her. Is she like Alan Norris, coming up in
:01:22. > :01:29.the second man's semi, has she had enough of being the "nearly person."
:01:30. > :01:33.Last she had a chance to win. She miscount and lost. To be the number
:01:34. > :01:38.one lady player in the world and certainly in every other tournament
:01:39. > :01:45.she comes here never seems to do it. It's got to be, eventually she's got
:01:46. > :01:50.to. You can't keep getting to the final and not win it. Have you to
:01:51. > :01:54.win it some time. Lisa Ashton made the final last year? She did it
:01:55. > :02:04.twice on the trot. Say the male players want the -- their mummy,
:02:05. > :02:09.will they want their daddy? They are good lady players, both of them.
:02:10. > :02:13.Their finishing is unbelievable. The standard of the womens darts has
:02:14. > :02:18.gone through the roof. Unbelievable. Has been when we have doubled the
:02:19. > :02:25.amount of ladies playing from eight to 16. It gives the better players
:02:26. > :02:29.obviously more rounds to play in. They can get used to the stage.
:02:30. > :02:33.These two women on the stage today, they're used to it. They have been
:02:34. > :02:37.up there a lot of times. They are always in finals and semi-finals.
:02:38. > :02:42.They will not be nervous like years ago. They used to be nervous. These
:02:43. > :02:47.young ladies can hit the shots out, big shots. They have been doing it
:02:48. > :02:51.over three sets. The final is best of five. They have to get to three
:02:52. > :02:57.sets to win it. Five sets is the most we will see in the ladies'
:02:58. > :03:10.final. We didn't need more than five sets on BBC One earlier in the Men's
:03:11. > :03:14.First semi-final. . Once Stephen is in front of a match it's like trying
:03:15. > :03:18.to catch a chicken when you are blindfolded. It proved that way
:03:19. > :03:23.today. Bobby, we were surprised by that, for anybody tuning in, Stephen
:03:24. > :03:28.Bunting in unchartered territory, that is the big question mark, that
:03:29. > :03:36.is the only question mark over him, he can handle anything given to him
:03:37. > :03:40.this week? He had a couple of dodgy games, averaging 95% all the way
:03:41. > :03:45.through. Have you to have 100% average to beat him. That is 15-dart
:03:46. > :03:51.legs you have to beat. That is the difference. People think, 11, 12
:03:52. > :03:54.dart. You have 100 average, it's very difficult to beat the guy. You
:03:55. > :03:59.have got to think, that's going out as well. That's hitting the double.
:04:00. > :04:04.Anyone at home who thinks they can play darts, 100 a throw plus hitting
:04:05. > :04:15.the double every time you play, that's tough.
:04:16. > :04:22.The ladies woke up this morning with four of them still left. Before we
:04:23. > :04:26.came on air on BBC One on the Red Button we had the two semi-finals.
:04:27. > :04:30.What is that like having to play two key matches in a day,
:04:31. > :04:38.psychologically, emotionally, physically? Your Your self I'd
:04:39. > :04:42.rather do that. If you are playing well, you want to keep playing. They
:04:43. > :04:47.are both playing well because they both won. Thank you for clearing
:04:48. > :04:52.that up. They would rather play. They are in the mood for playing.
:04:53. > :04:57.They are playing well. I would keep playing. If you are going to play a
:04:58. > :05:02.semi and a final do it in one day. It's not like best of so many sets.
:05:03. > :05:11.It's very short. They will not get worn out. Say they are playing well,
:05:12. > :05:17.almost an understatement, let us look at the semi-finals earlier
:05:18. > :05:22.today. It was in straight-sets with the experienced telling, she breezed
:05:23. > :05:30.backstage with heroining smile and held court with Rob Walker. Dita,
:05:31. > :05:37.you are smiling you are through to your second Lakeside final. What a
:05:38. > :05:42.way to do it with 1, 3, 2? Not really, if you saw the earlier legs
:05:43. > :05:47.I went for the bull's-eye on the same 1, 3, 2 I hit the 50, I
:05:48. > :05:53.thought, should I, no, that would be cheeky. I thought, why not. Just to
:05:54. > :05:57.see if I could get it. It went in, it was brilliant. You seem very
:05:58. > :06:03.relaxed ahead of your second final. Are you as confident as you appear
:06:04. > :06:06.to be? No. You have to have a mask, haven't you? I go out there and
:06:07. > :06:12.enjoy it. That's what I've done this year. I've gone out there and
:06:13. > :06:18.totally enjoyed. It Your 2013 was incredible, 14 titles, but this is
:06:19. > :06:24.the only one missing. This is the one you really want, isn't it? Of
:06:25. > :06:30.course. It's there for all of us. I'm Haying a good shot at it. You
:06:31. > :06:36.know, later on I'll be out there, whether it's Lisa or whether it is
:06:37. > :06:44.Anna, I can play exactly the the same way I have been doing all week.
:06:45. > :06:50.Are you better player than you were when you were runner up two years
:06:51. > :06:54.ago? Not really. I'm more consistent this year round. The year I was
:06:55. > :06:58.runner up, I was playing better then. Like everything you do, you
:06:59. > :07:02.build confidence and confidence. Winning breeds winning. That's what
:07:03. > :07:08.it is. Two matches in a day. It's going to be a tough one, mentally,
:07:09. > :07:13.what would it mean to you to lift the most prestigious prize in
:07:14. > :07:17.womens' darts? That I would finally have it on my CV. It will be on my
:07:18. > :07:23.CV and no-one can take it away from me. Really, that's it. The very best
:07:24. > :07:26.of luck. We can't wait. It will be a great match. Thank you very much. I
:07:27. > :07:33.can't wait. I'm just going to have a rest now and get myself ready for
:07:34. > :07:43.later on. Thank you. Dita through. The second semi-final the champ
:07:44. > :07:51.cross was knocked out by Lisa Ashton. We got her thoughts also
:07:52. > :08:00.before the big one. Lisa. Wow,en how on earth did you turn that round. It
:08:01. > :08:03.was an incredible watch? Just kept going. After the check out I
:08:04. > :08:07.thought, you have another chance, try and keep going and never give
:08:08. > :08:12.up. The Shanghai was a real turning point for you. You thought, hang on
:08:13. > :08:17.a minute, I'm still in this. I can still do this? As soon as that went
:08:18. > :08:20.in. Last year I did the same to take the second set. I thought, I can do
:08:21. > :08:26.this, just keep going, never give up. Were you surprised that
:08:27. > :08:31.Anastasia Dobromyslova was missing so many darts for the match? I was,
:08:32. > :08:34.yes. I thought, as soon as she misses you have to take your
:08:35. > :08:40.chances, you will never get another one, luckily are, I did. It was a
:08:41. > :08:45.fantastic advert for womens' darts, as I'm sure the final will be, do
:08:46. > :08:50.you feel you will be stronger as you have been in the showdown before? I
:08:51. > :08:54.hope. Ladies darts has come so much forward. I hope it will be another
:08:55. > :08:59.good final, which I think it will be. The whole of Lancashire will be
:09:00. > :09:08.holding their breath? I think they will be. I think I've given the
:09:09. > :09:13.whole of Lancashire heart attacks. Well done for that fabulous come
:09:14. > :09:19.back in the semi. Enjoy the showdown, I'm sure we all will.
:09:20. > :09:34.Thank you very much. This is what they are playing for. Deta Hedman
:09:35. > :09:46.have wanted that trophy. One of them will get their hands on it. It's an
:09:47. > :09:54.emotional affair. I feel sorry for Deta, needs that little bit extra. I
:09:55. > :09:59.love watching Lisa playing. I got it right this time. She throws her
:10:00. > :10:07.darts. The highest checkout, she's good. Even the 132. You know, you
:10:08. > :10:13.never see a lady do that 10 years ago. The 80 averages as well, they
:10:14. > :10:18.are getting off to decent starts in the legs. Over five sets this time.
:10:19. > :10:23.Do you think we will see all five? It's hard to choose between them?
:10:24. > :10:28.Five sets it gives a little bit more cushion really in the game. Best of
:10:29. > :10:34.three is proper darts, as I always say. Five is a little bit more
:10:35. > :10:39.cushion. I think we should see better darts they will not be under
:10:40. > :10:44.so much pressure. I know they are in a World Final, but it's more of a
:10:45. > :10:47.cushion. Just before they come out, in the last-minute or two, Lisa
:10:48. > :10:51.Ashton will have talked with her daughter, she always does, she will
:10:52. > :10:55.have talked to her friends. She is at the first table. She is always at
:10:56. > :11:01.the first table before you walk in for your walk through. Deta Hedman,
:11:02. > :11:06.she randomly used our staff bathroom before she went out. Now it's become
:11:07. > :11:12.a superstitions before she has played all week she spends a penny
:11:13. > :11:19.in the BBC toilet. She has done that. Either way this will be a
:11:20. > :11:24.fairytale in this final. Good grace, mutual respect and butterflies in
:11:25. > :11:30.the tummy quaranteed. Let's light up the Lakeside. Here's your MC Richard
:11:31. > :11:57.Ash Down. -- Ashdown. We now introduce the current holder
:11:58. > :12:07.of 14 World ranking titles she is the reign World Master and World Cup
:12:08. > :12:17.Singles Champion, it hes a The Dark Destroyer, Deta Hedman. -- it The
:12:18. > :13:09.Dark Destroyer, Deta Hedman. APPLAUSE
:13:10. > :13:12.The reigning BDO Gold Cup and England Matchplay Champion it's the
:13:13. > :14:05.Lancashire rose, Lisa Ashton. In all the years that Deta has been
:14:06. > :14:09.playing darts she has never forgotten to (inaudible) the
:14:10. > :14:18.referee. COMMENTATOR: A newly expanded womens
:14:19. > :14:22.World Championship. These two have had to win three matches to get
:14:23. > :14:29.here, including a semi-final this afternoon. Of the 16 players who
:14:30. > :14:37.started, Deta Hedman and Lisa Ashton have probably been the standout
:14:38. > :14:42.performance. Deta is the top seed, utterly dominant pretty much
:14:43. > :14:47.everywhere else but with a big World Title shaped hole missing in her CV.
:14:48. > :14:52.She has been been to the semi-final before and lost out to Anastasia
:14:53. > :15:00.Dobromyslova as did 12 months ago did Lisa Ashton. Lisa got revenge
:15:01. > :15:03.for that final defeat even though Anastasia Dobromyslova had six darts
:15:04. > :15:08.to beat her. England against England for the title. It's the first to
:15:09. > :15:21.three sets. Whatever happens, a new World Champion will be crowned this
:15:22. > :15:28.evening. The 2014 Lakeside Ladies' Final, first set, first leg, Lisa to
:15:29. > :15:32.throw first. Game on. COMMENTATOR: First to three sets
:15:33. > :15:35.will be the Champion. Great start. Oh, what about that? That is a dream
:15:36. > :15:49.start for Ashton. Bobby George talking about the
:15:50. > :15:56.improvement in the standards and ladies darts over the years and what
:15:57. > :15:59.a way for Ashton to start. Interesting, you are talking about
:16:00. > :16:04.matches in the past when Deta Hedman played here at the Lakeside last
:16:05. > :16:11.year first round, who beat her? 2-0, Lisa Ashton. What a way to start a
:16:12. > :16:30.final. A maximum 180. It is Lisa's eighth of the
:16:31. > :16:33.tournament so far. I am sure Deta must get fed up of hearing that she
:16:34. > :16:39.is too good a player never had to have won the world title but she's
:16:40. > :16:48.been so dominant. I thought it was going to be another maximum.
:16:49. > :16:52.It's been a slightly different Deta this week, I sense. Than in previous
:16:53. > :17:04.years. Lisa down to have finished first,
:17:05. > :17:16.she can't finish now but she will be back.
:17:17. > :17:23.Deta Hedman can do no more than try to put a bit of pressure on. Her
:17:24. > :17:29.percentage for the tournament has been outstanding but Ashton has
:17:30. > :17:40.outscored in terms of the big hits. Eight 100 natives, 21 over 140.
:17:41. > :17:52.To win her as her semifinal she went bull, bull, double 16. She really
:17:53. > :17:57.got them going. She will want to put some pressure on the double 12.
:17:58. > :18:22.Hasn't really done that. This would hurt Lisa if Deta could
:18:23. > :18:32.take out 107. 18 or ten now. Tops she needs to win the first leg
:18:33. > :18:35.against the darts. Fell short. So 664 Lisa Ashton. Oh, a tough one
:18:36. > :18:44.now. Not even the pros like 33. As you
:18:45. > :19:02.say, this really would hurt. Yes, there it is. Continues her
:19:03. > :19:08.remarkable finishing. More than 53% in the course of the tournament,
:19:09. > :19:15.which is just extraordinary. And there you have it, 19 hit, just 36
:19:16. > :19:20.aimed at and it is one out of two in this match. Lisa, meanwhile, who had
:19:21. > :19:24.six match darts against terror in the semifinals, missed six darts to
:19:25. > :19:34.win that first leg and will that prove significant? A lot of support,
:19:35. > :19:38.Lisa Ashton, in this sell-out crowd. Proudly wearing the red Rose of
:19:39. > :19:46.Lancashire, of course, a fair few have made their way down.
:19:47. > :19:57.Well, Deta is top seed here for the third year in a row. Since she lost
:19:58. > :20:05.to Lisa in her opening match here last year, 2-0, the score, she has
:20:06. > :20:14.won 14 ranking tournaments playing all over the world. She very much is
:20:15. > :20:17.the player to beat, but she hasn't the past put too much pressure on
:20:18. > :20:22.herself playing on the Lakeside stage. You're bobbing it is all
:20:23. > :20:26.about doing it on the day, isn't it? This year, she is just trying to
:20:27. > :20:30.have fun and you can see her smile is a little bit wider. She does seem
:20:31. > :20:38.to be having fun. She has more fun with her walk on. She went for the
:20:39. > :20:43.two bull's-eyes and the double 16 to check out the semifinal. That was a
:20:44. > :20:47.bit of Hollywood darts. ?12,000 for the winner, ?5,000 for the runner
:20:48. > :20:55.up. You could have some fun with that. Yes, it would guarantee a
:20:56. > :21:05.couple of decent nights out, wouldn't it? ! Just one for you!
:21:06. > :21:37.Start with the treble 20s, and a 138.
:21:38. > :21:45.So Ashton will come in here looking for the treble 13. She tried to go
:21:46. > :21:55.the 15 route. 19 leaves bull's-eye. Oh, yes! That puts a smile on her
:21:56. > :21:58.face! The Viking among those watching on in admiration. Andy
:21:59. > :22:03.Fordham the former world champion, in fact it was ten years ago today
:22:04. > :22:07.when he won his firm -- his world title. He got a terrific ovation
:22:08. > :22:11.when he was introduced earlier on, up there on the stage with Bobby
:22:12. > :22:16.George and he loved the moment, I think. Playing a game as well.
:22:17. > :22:21.Coming back to Blackpool next month, the new tournament, and he will be
:22:22. > :22:27.in it. He says he has been throwing OK in practice. Good to see him
:22:28. > :22:33.playing well. Lisa will be really buoyed by that bull's-eye. Having
:22:34. > :22:37.missed the six darts at double in the first leg. Perhaps that is the
:22:38. > :22:44.answer, name for the red bit in the middle. -- aim for the red bit in
:22:45. > :22:50.the middle. Cool and composed, Deta Hedman, she has that unflappable
:22:51. > :22:58.demeanour when throwing darts. She always has a smile on her face away
:22:59. > :22:59.from the oche. That is her ninth of the tournament and second of the
:23:00. > :23:31.match! No joke. She has got her eye in now. Oh, that
:23:32. > :23:37.is superb. It was to gold, ultimately. Had it been 205I think
:23:38. > :23:45.she might have preferred it. She will take a 180 followed by a
:23:46. > :23:58.170, no question about it. Is Deta rattled? She is way back. Double 8,
:23:59. > :24:06.and she has got it. Lisa is on a bit of a roll. A great comeback against
:24:07. > :24:10.Anastasia in the second -- in the semifinal, claiming her place, and
:24:11. > :24:14.she had a real momentum humming into this match and maybe building on
:24:15. > :24:19.that. Started brilliantly in the opening leg with the 180, then had
:24:20. > :24:29.to double trouble, and now has assumed a position of superiority.
:24:30. > :24:35.Perhaps she feels she is taking advantage of a second life, a
:24:36. > :24:41.seventh life even because of those six darts to beat her in the
:24:42. > :24:46.semifinal. Perhaps she feels she has nothing to lose. That is a little
:24:47. > :24:54.bit unlucky. Wits wide from a maximum. Good to have one in this
:24:55. > :25:01.match, Deta. And just the 1-1 tournament. But D2 by contrast, all
:25:02. > :25:05.the pressure really on her. -- but Deta by contrast, all the pressure
:25:06. > :25:10.really on her. Everyone keeps talking about the thing missing from
:25:11. > :25:17.Deta Hedman's CV. She is universally recognised as world number one right
:25:18. > :25:28.now. But this is not a happy hunting ground.
:25:29. > :25:35.She calls herself the Dark Destroyer. It used to be Nigel Benn
:25:36. > :25:42.in my other sport coming back going back a year or two. I don't know if
:25:43. > :26:00.he could throw darts. He could certainly throw a punch or two.
:26:01. > :26:08.Yes, she will be back. If you are new to darts, then 170 is the
:26:09. > :26:15.biggest number you can finish on in three darts, two trouble 20s and
:26:16. > :26:21.bull's-eye and we think the referee has called that wrong. Yes, double
:26:22. > :26:28.18, not 99, as he would have suggested. Oh, there is a bit of
:26:29. > :26:33.uncertainty here. Deta is not sure the referee has got this right. And
:26:34. > :26:44.they are going to have to check this, I think. The referee is
:26:45. > :26:49.admitting a problem. 131. The check was made and it is indeed 88 that
:26:50. > :26:59.she requires. You don't often see that. Deta muso. -- Deta new,
:27:00. > :27:09.though. She can see the funny side of it. Fortunately, so can the
:27:10. > :27:20.referee. She didn't want double 13, did she? Rab Butler is our referee.
:27:21. > :27:26.They really don't often make mistakes. Well, this is a big leg
:27:27. > :27:30.now. Ashton has had the darts, made a poor start and a great response
:27:31. > :27:39.from Deta Hedman. She has nicked the throw.
:27:40. > :27:51.Both averaging in the 80s. Lisa, as you can see, has an advantage of six
:27:52. > :28:00.and a half points with her first nine darts, on average. Well, a
:28:01. > :28:14.brilliant start, 140, then coming back with 23.
:28:15. > :28:34.It is an appreciative and knowledgeable audience here. And in
:28:35. > :28:39.that audience, a college of cardinals! I'm not sure you need to
:28:40. > :28:45.come to the darts with a pack of cards. And ecclesiastical feel to
:28:46. > :28:54.this during the week. I've seen one or two nuns around. It's the Temple
:28:55. > :28:56.of darts. So this would be some way to win the first set. She will be
:28:57. > :29:10.back. Well, she didn't capitalise on this
:29:11. > :29:20.position of strength. 198, Deta Hedman, a good first dart. And a
:29:21. > :29:29.second. Well, that is real quality darts. Leaving herself 60, Deta
:29:30. > :29:41.Hedman may be the favourite now. Went for the 25, she has hit single
:29:42. > :29:47.17. And here is a chance for Deta to win the first set. She should have
:29:48. > :29:54.two darts at double top, and does. And only needs one of them. It is
:29:55. > :30:00.the difference, her finishing right the way through the week has been
:30:01. > :30:05.absolutely top-notch. Nothing between them in terms of scoring.
:30:06. > :30:17.But the check-outs, Deta Hedman has now got three out of four.
:30:18. > :30:25.He always says it, doesn't he, Bobby George, he comes here and tells
:30:26. > :30:34.everyone that listens, you score for show and hit doubles for Doug. Those
:30:35. > :30:39.checkout percentages from Deta Hedman would do any player on the
:30:40. > :30:43.planet credit. Anything over 40% is where they want to be. Deta, well
:30:44. > :30:51.passed that and maintaining it consistently. When she starts
:30:52. > :31:02.scoring as well, pretty hard to live with.
:31:03. > :31:11.Lisa was behind against Anastasia in the semi-final and came back. The
:31:12. > :31:16.Russia had six match darts, and she got that Shanghai which gave her a
:31:17. > :31:26.real boost of confidence. A surge of confidence. It was a great comeback.
:31:27. > :31:41.She's a battler. She's a fighter. No question. They both are.
:31:42. > :31:50.REFEREE: 122. COMMENTATOR: Daniel, "come on, mum",
:31:51. > :31:56.she shouts. Lisa's daughter. Not what she wanted. Hedman, 56, to take
:31:57. > :32:02.the early advantage in this second set. First to three will be the
:32:03. > :32:09.Champion. Tops then. She's got two at it. Missed by way. Didn't like
:32:10. > :32:16.that. That's more like it. Clinical, isn't it?
:32:17. > :32:24.If she keeps finishing like this, no question about it. She will be the
:32:25. > :32:54.World Champion this year. Ashton needs a burst of inspiration.
:32:55. > :33:00.She needs something from somewhere to protell pel her to another level.
:33:01. > :33:05.Was runner up on this stage in the final 12 months ago. She has been
:33:06. > :33:12.runner up in the Isle of Man and the England Open. Look at this.
:33:13. > :33:16.REFEREE: 140. COMMENTATOR: Deta, meanwhile, was
:33:17. > :33:37.winning tournaments all over the place, 14 of them.
:33:38. > :33:45.Relentlessness about Hedman at the moment. She's boosted her average up
:33:46. > :33:51.over 85, quality darts. REFEREE: 140.
:33:52. > :34:06.COMMENTATOR: Building up a head of steam. She will be first to a
:34:07. > :34:17.finish. Second 140 of the leg. Fifth of the match. So 61 and time on her
:34:18. > :34:35.side. 119 is a big ask, 61 then for Hedman. Tops now for Hedman. Deta,
:34:36. > :34:38.double conversion is just superb. A little wink, as much to say, I've
:34:39. > :34:59.got the secret here. Yeah. Five out of seven. Another break of
:35:00. > :35:11.throw. Let's have a look at Deta's double delight. 71%. Military mitt
:35:12. > :35:16.-- 71%. REFEREE: 140.
:35:17. > :35:36.COMMENTATOR: She will need a run of those.
:35:37. > :35:53.Well, how much pressure can Lisa apply here? The answer is, plenty!
:35:54. > :36:00.Hedman had the darts. So this would be one against the throw. It goes
:36:01. > :36:10.without saying, Ashton badly needs to convent this advantage now.
:36:11. > :36:32.That'll do. So 136. I don't know why she
:36:33. > :36:35.switched there, Deta, because 162 is not an out shot. Look at her
:36:36. > :36:41.reaction. She is banging her head as much as to say - what have I done,
:36:42. > :36:46.she got her maths wrong. The referee did it in the last match, now the
:36:47. > :36:54.player has done it - in the last set I should say. Just nine scored by
:36:55. > :37:03.Lisa though on her last visit to let Deta right back in this leg. A leg
:37:04. > :37:08.that she needs to win for the set. 127.
:37:09. > :37:21.Not this time. It's just not there at the moment.
:37:22. > :37:47.COMMENTATOR: She a has let Lisa in again with that 40. Lees yas has
:37:48. > :38:02.gone 9-41. The bull's-eye for the leg. She's hit it once. Hedman for
:38:03. > :38:08.the second set. 9 had. -- 94. The treble 18. Oh, look at that. It's
:38:09. > :38:21.extraordinary. Whatever you can say about the rest of the game, the
:38:22. > :38:29.finishing of Hedman is just fantastic. She's a set away from the
:38:30. > :38:39.title she craves. Eight out of eight, I can do that with mental
:38:40. > :38:44.arithmetic, it's 75%. She tries to mask her emotions, largely succeeds
:38:45. > :38:48.while she's up on the stage. Let me tell you that behind that face she's
:38:49. > :38:53.very excited. She really is having fun. I think there might be tears...
:38:54. > :38:56.A lot of smiles. There might even be a dance of joy if she pulls this
:38:57. > :39:02.one-off now. That's what they're playing for.
:39:03. > :39:32.Still work to do. But she's two up, with three to play.
:39:33. > :39:38.Second semi-final is the next match, which follows. We will be continuing
:39:39. > :39:42.with that for you on BBC Two, but should it go beyond the allotted
:39:43. > :39:46.time for the programme, which it surely will do, it will be
:39:47. > :39:54.continuing on the Red Button. Darts fans, use that Red Button and stay
:39:55. > :39:58.with us, please. Yes. It's the Red Button for darts fans. The red bit
:39:59. > :40:06.at the top of the board for Deta Hedman. The bull's-eye looks a bit
:40:07. > :40:18.like a red button, doesn't it? The Womens' Final to a conclusion on BBC
:40:19. > :40:26.Two for now. Ashton, 74 now. Oh, 11 is not what she wants. 63 remaining.
:40:27. > :40:32.Oh, that's better. 57. She's left on double three. She can't believe it.
:40:33. > :40:36.Just checking with the scorer. She's absolutely right, I'm afraid. She
:40:37. > :40:45.can see the funny side of it. Mercifully, Deta is on no finish.
:40:46. > :40:55.She shas had counting on issues on that stage, at this stage before.
:40:56. > :41:02.Lisa Ashton, she could go two double two or go straight for the double
:41:03. > :41:12.three. She just lost five legs in a row. That will feel really good.
:41:13. > :41:18.Hedman, let me remind you, just needs to take this set to win the
:41:19. > :41:38.trophy. Or the next one, or the one after that.
:41:39. > :42:18.COMMENTATOR: This is a little opportunity for Lisa Ashton. Big
:42:19. > :42:23.score here would put her in a strong position. She needs a treble badly
:42:24. > :42:31.needs a big treble, and couldn't find. It If she wins this leg,
:42:32. > :42:36.against the darts, if... Then she will be throwing for the set. Then
:42:37. > :42:42.it's 2-1. All of a sudden, it's not quite as easy for Deta. Not on a
:42:43. > :43:05.finish. Lisa is. Yes, she is. 167 can be
:43:06. > :43:18.done. 178, of course, can't. Just checking on the score. And decided
:43:19. > :43:23.to stay on 20s. Robbie Green has the current record and check for the
:43:24. > :43:30.highest tournament checkout, that is 67, two treble 20s and a... Deta
:43:31. > :43:40.Hedman then, 38. Goes straight at it. For once, she misses. She split
:43:41. > :43:49.it. Double eight now. You could have bet money on that. You really could.
:43:50. > :43:50.All Lisa Ashton can do is watch and admire the double throwing has been
:43:51. > :44:09.extraordinary. If she wants to keep the match
:44:10. > :44:17.alive, Lisa Ashton must, you feel, hold her throw here. She started
:44:18. > :44:21.with just a 60. Deta, unusually, hasn't taken advantage. That's
:44:22. > :44:58.better. Another one would be nice. COMMENTATOR: She gives the darts
:44:59. > :45:02.some proper welly, doesn't she, Lisa Ashton? There's a lot on this. A lot
:45:03. > :45:09.on this leg. It's a crucial one. Lisa Ashton loses this one, I think
:45:10. > :45:13.it's pretty much good night Vienna. Although, to be fair, we wrote her
:45:14. > :45:25.off in her semi-final as well. True. And here she is. She's a long way
:45:26. > :45:38.back though. Big score here would hurt her. Here comes a big score.
:45:39. > :45:44.REFEREE: 121. COMMENTATOR: Still the maximum
:45:45. > :45:52.remains elusive for Deta. Hasn't had one in this match. A once out from a
:45:53. > :45:57.treble. 60 points on the floor and a potential finish on the floor. In
:45:58. > :46:06.and out of the treble 20, two trebles and a double here. She would
:46:07. > :46:10.like to take at least 100 off this. Can she squeeze between the two?
:46:11. > :46:18.Lisa can do no more than put some pressure on. If ever she needed a
:46:19. > :46:28.big hit now, this is it. That is a good start. She stays on 20s.
:46:29. > :46:42.A move leg away. She has two darts at double top. Did you ever doubt
:46:43. > :46:45.it? She only needs one of them. There is many a professional darts
:46:46. > :46:49.player who will be watching this and thinking, if only I could have
:46:50. > :46:53.finished like this woman at the given moment I would have made
:46:54. > :46:59.thousands and thousands and thousands. She has been terrific in
:47:00. > :47:04.that score this afternoon. She missed one in the first leg of the
:47:05. > :47:10.first set. She missed one in the first leg of the second set and she
:47:11. > :47:14.missed one in the second leg of the third set, but that's it. You have
:47:15. > :47:21.to dig through the notes to find it, don't you? I bet Bobby is enjoying
:47:22. > :47:38.that double conversion rate of Deta Hedman. Just proves his old adage.
:47:39. > :47:46.One more lead and Hedman is home. That is another 180, her third in
:47:47. > :48:08.the match, her 10th in the tournament. Boy, did she need that.
:48:09. > :48:15.Back in the treble 20, Lisa Ashton, once, twice. Two is probably enough
:48:16. > :48:30.with Deta back on 349. Where have the trouble is gone in
:48:31. > :48:34.this leg? Well, maybe got a glimpse of the finishing line and just a
:48:35. > :48:41.little bit of a tremble perhaps from Hedman. Look at this again. Solid
:48:42. > :48:59.ton. She is way clear. These are unusually wayward darts
:49:00. > :49:07.from Deta Hedman. Doubles have been a bit of an Achilles heel for this
:49:08. > :49:18.match in -- for Ashton. Got time, tens, fives, a tough one. At last,
:49:19. > :49:28.she says. The match goes on, 2-2. Ashton now with the darts.
:49:29. > :49:33.Well, she missed six darts that double in the first leg of the match
:49:34. > :49:39.and hasn't done too badly since then, Lisa Ashton. Hasn't really had
:49:40. > :49:41.a chance but crucially perhaps she is touring first in this deciding
:49:42. > :49:50.leg of the third set. Finally, Deta finds trouble. --
:49:51. > :50:06.finds a treble. Surely she's not going to conjure up
:50:07. > :50:24.another extraordinary comeback, is she? Don't put it past her.
:50:25. > :50:39.Ton 40 would be handy here. 125 is not shabby. Exactly 200 points
:50:40. > :50:46.ahead. And 141 of courses one they frequently practice. The root of the
:50:47. > :50:57.potential maximum. So, 141 to take the set. Great first dart. Double
:50:58. > :51:08.18. Oh, superb! Come on, she says! The game is still alive. She has won
:51:09. > :51:18.the test. 12 dart leg. From Lisa Ashton. And what a way to end it, a
:51:19. > :51:27.141. What a time to produce her best finish of the tournament. Is Deta
:51:28. > :51:33.shaken? She's been a bit tentative over the last couple of legs, Deta,
:51:34. > :51:36.she seems to have lost her form, may realising is so are so close to
:51:37. > :51:45.claiming the one title that has eluded her. -- may be realising she
:51:46. > :51:51.is so close to claiming the one title that has eluded her. And that
:51:52. > :51:55.average now underlines that fact because Hedman earlier in the match
:51:56. > :52:00.was clearly scoring the heavier and now Ashton, she is the one with the
:52:01. > :52:05.average, over 85. With her first nine darts with her first three
:52:06. > :52:14.visits to the oche she is almost 14 points clear. Perhaps we have all
:52:15. > :52:20.been guilty of just writing Lisa Ashton off a little too quickly.
:52:21. > :52:29.There is a look of determination there now, isn't there? She is just
:52:30. > :52:35.starting to believe a little bit. And Deta is not scoring and not
:52:36. > :52:40.giving herself a chance. To hit those doubles that have been hit
:52:41. > :52:43.with such regularity. In the first set the averages were about the
:52:44. > :52:48.same. In the second, it was all about the top seed Deta Hedman who
:52:49. > :52:54.won the set 3-0. Look at those averages in the third set, 93 for
:52:55. > :53:04.Lisa. 163 is not what Deta Hedman had in mind.
:53:05. > :53:10.A bogey number, no check-out possible.
:53:11. > :53:22.Well, she has had 141, how about 131? Could it happen? There is the
:53:23. > :53:31.treble 20. Not this time. Not this time. Lakeside believed she would do
:53:32. > :53:41.it. She probably believed she would do it. This is important now for
:53:42. > :53:43.Hedman. Trouble 18 would leave -- treble 18 would leave treble 16.
:53:44. > :53:58.Unlucky. Got the treble one. Here we go then. For a leg against
:53:59. > :54:07.the darts, she needs to break. She has broken! Are we going all the
:54:08. > :54:15.way? In the women's final at Lakeside. Suddenly Deta Hedman looks
:54:16. > :54:24.just a little bit fragile. Lisa has the darts. She can hold her throw
:54:25. > :54:37.twice we are going all the way into a deciding fifth set. If. Web then
:54:38. > :54:45.she has lost her form at the moment, Deta, and she can't quite work out
:54:46. > :54:51.why. A cover shot missed from that distance as well. One word,
:54:52. > :54:55.pressure. It looked as though she was almost home and dry and suddenly
:54:56. > :55:00.it looks like a completely different match. She is feeling it up there.
:55:01. > :55:24.And so is Lisa, but in a good way. 21, 54, from Deta to start this leg.
:55:25. > :55:32.They weren't far away from Lisa, even though she didn't find a
:55:33. > :55:34.treble. She is 140 on. She did find a treble... We know where you are
:55:35. > :55:47.coming from. So Ashton, a big score here would
:55:48. > :55:52.set it up nicely. Treble would be handy jostles -- would be handy.
:55:53. > :56:09.Missed by a fraction. Deta will be thinking, if only the
:56:10. > :56:14.final was still the best of three. A reminder the second men's semifinal
:56:15. > :56:17.to follow this and once we have finished on BBC Two you are going to
:56:18. > :56:26.be able to follow that match on the red button.
:56:27. > :56:38.Well, why on earth did she go that way? She has only just realised. 166
:56:39. > :56:44.is impossible to finish in three darts. It's not really going to
:56:45. > :56:48.affect her because Deta is back on 190. Still, it is a little
:56:49. > :56:59.embarrassing. Headman trying to break back here.
:57:00. > :57:02.Having surrendered her throw in the opening leg of this fourth set, that
:57:03. > :57:25.is more like it. Treble 18 now leaves double 18 for a
:57:26. > :57:37.108. She has hit its! She has hit it. Deta Hedman's face really speaks
:57:38. > :57:38.volumes. The body language has completely changed here. Lisa Ashton
:57:39. > :57:45.is on a roll. Four straight legs for the
:57:46. > :58:04.Lancastrian. We said she was of IT. Showing it
:58:05. > :58:09.again it earlier on in her semifinal against Anastasia having -- she came
:58:10. > :58:13.back with the Russian having had six match darts but she had that refusal
:58:14. > :58:17.to give in. She just kept plugging away and eventually the tide turned.
:58:18. > :58:20.She will be believing she can do the same again.
:58:21. > :58:36.A huge momentum switch in this match. Is there time for another?
:58:37. > :58:40.140, 140, to start this leg from Lisa Ashton. Deta's scoring has
:58:41. > :58:53.deserted her. That is the Ashton camp. Looking good for the
:58:54. > :59:02.Lancastrian. Oh, superb again. That might not have hurt hurt too badly.
:59:03. > :59:08.86 against 241 looks very handy. Ashton coming back now, looking for
:59:09. > :59:18.86 to take this fourth set and send it into the decider. 82, she didn't
:59:19. > :59:24.need that. Oh, good shot! She was looking forward double 16 and only
:59:25. > :59:32.just missed it. A great bull. She will be back though and once again
:59:33. > :59:39.Deta just can't find the treble 20. She is really struggling. She could
:59:40. > :59:43.do with an old commercial break here, just to have a little breather
:59:44. > :59:53.and just regroup but double 16 takes the set. And she has! 2-2, we are
:59:54. > :59:59.going into a decider! Lisa's daughter is loving the moment, the
:00:00. > :00:02.crowd loving them fact the match is continuing and suddenly with the
:00:03. > :00:07.darts Lisa Ashton is looking as though she might pull this off. Ever
:00:08. > :00:18.since Deta Hedman moved one leg away from the match leading 2-0 in sets
:00:19. > :00:19.and 2-1 in legs, Lisa Ashton has reeled off five straight legs. Here
:00:20. > :00:43.we go, who is your money on? Oh, superb. Ashton's average now is
:00:44. > :01:04.nearly 87. She's getting betser and better the further the match goes.
:01:05. > :01:11.Just to let you know, if we get to a situation where it's two legs all,
:01:12. > :01:17.in this deciding set, each player will have a dart at the bull's-eye,
:01:18. > :01:24.whoever is closer will throw first in a leg to decide the destiny of
:01:25. > :01:31.the World Championship title. Makes you nervous just to think about it,
:01:32. > :01:45.never mind actually do it. Good last dart. Again, look at Deta's scoring,
:01:46. > :01:56.it's completely desserted her. She's 200 back. 135 then for Ashton to
:01:57. > :02:02.go-ahead in the match. Looking for a 25 there. It's missed though. She
:02:03. > :02:16.didn't need a treble seven either, but she's got time.
:02:17. > :02:33.Deta beat Peters in her semi-final. She looked really good. 85 then, for
:02:34. > :02:42.Ashton. Oh, she's not got the darts she wanted there. Well, if she can
:02:43. > :02:48.do it, it might signal another momentum shift. But she can't do it.
:02:49. > :02:52.It's not there at the moment, for what ever reason. You talked about
:02:53. > :02:58.pressure. She has had a fabulous career for so long. She has never
:02:59. > :03:04.won this. She wants it so badly. Ashton now with tops can take the
:03:05. > :03:16.lead in the match. A wild one. That's spot on. Double 10. Her
:03:17. > :03:22.family believe, her daughter certainly does - come on mum! What
:03:23. > :03:26.must be going through Deta's head right now? All week she has been
:03:27. > :03:30.telling us she is going to try and have fun on that stage. I can tell
:03:31. > :03:35.you, she's not at the moment. Suddenly, she is feeling, I suspect,
:03:36. > :03:39.as though she is throwing with someone else's arms, it's not
:03:40. > :03:43.happening for her. The confidence which she was showing earlier on in
:03:44. > :03:53.the day has just ebbed away. Needs something to happen big in her
:03:54. > :03:58.favour now. From 2-0 to one, Deta Hedman has lost five legs in a row,
:03:59. > :04:05.six legs in a row. She's two more legs away from losing in another
:04:06. > :04:11.final. I wonder if that trophy is going to be heading now for Lisa
:04:12. > :04:17.Ashton? Along with the ?12,000 cheque for the winner. She's looking
:04:18. > :04:28.good. It looked like it was heading for Essex. It seems Lancashire bound
:04:29. > :04:33.now. Oh, dear that was a wild one. Even when she does find the treble
:04:34. > :04:42.20 with her first dart, the second and third stray into the one.
:04:43. > :04:55.Lisa will believe she's got this game now. Deta, her supporters are
:04:56. > :04:58.just hoping, praying, that she can somehow find her best form with
:04:59. > :05:06.darts like that. It's more what is required. That puts a smile on the
:05:07. > :05:11.face. We've seen Ashton clear a chequout, 141. Is Deta Hedman going
:05:12. > :05:27.to be able to do the same now? Ashton will come back requiring
:05:28. > :05:31.Shanghai. Not going to happen for Deta and Shanghai is hittable. She
:05:32. > :05:39.got a Shanghai in the semi-final. That launched her comeback really.
:05:40. > :05:47.Treble needed. No, not this time. Shanghai is what darts folks call,
:05:48. > :05:51.treble, single, double. 41 crucial points separate Deta Hedman and this
:05:52. > :06:01.leg of darts. There's the single nine. Is this the double 16? Did she
:06:02. > :06:06.need that? Did she ever. Her scoring may have betrayed her, but the
:06:07. > :06:11.doubles still looking good. That was with the darts as well. What a
:06:12. > :06:19.struggle it was to hold on. Hadn't had a dart at a double for a
:06:20. > :06:26.set-and-a-half. At one stage she was averaging 86. It's now gone down to
:06:27. > :06:31.something like 78/79. Chequout percentages still look pretty tasty
:06:32. > :06:49.though, don't they, nine out of 12. She's coming back.
:06:50. > :06:55.Has she stopped the rot? Just throwing with a wee bit more
:06:56. > :07:03.composure now. I wonder if we are going all the way to a deciding leg
:07:04. > :07:17.in this final. A sudden death leg. Last dart was unlucky. Came off the
:07:18. > :07:24.barrel into the single one. Both legs in this deciding set have gone
:07:25. > :07:31.with the darts. Ashton looking to set this one up. Treble 20 would be
:07:32. > :07:46.nice. Not this time. Still maintaining an advantage.
:07:47. > :08:06.So six darts from 160, to hold her throw, and move her self to within a
:08:07. > :08:08.leg of the title. 100 required. Straight-forward checkout
:08:09. > :08:13.opportunity. Hedman, she doesn't need that. Sighs and tries to
:08:14. > :08:17.compose herself. Oh, dear, that is a shocker. That is a shocker. She was
:08:18. > :08:30.going for treble 20 then. It's wound up there. Well... A bag of nails
:08:31. > :08:38.that one. From 190 she hasn't left a checkout. She's going to have
:08:39. > :08:42.another three darts, Hedman can do no more than just try and get a big
:08:43. > :08:54.number and hope somehow that Lisa Ashton missing double 16. Good first
:08:55. > :09:02.dart from Hedman. She's losing composure.
:09:03. > :09:12.Three times in a row now Deta's missed 19and hit three. Double 16.
:09:13. > :09:24.She hit single eight. Double 12, double six. The doubles in. Lisa
:09:25. > :09:29.Ashton, from being a leg away from losing the final is a leg away from
:09:30. > :09:34.winning it. It's heartbreaking to see the way Deta Hedman has
:09:35. > :09:38.disintergrated in this match. She's at a point now where the darts where
:09:39. > :09:50.she has to win this leg, or it's all over. You saw Lisa's daughter
:09:51. > :09:57.shouting, "one more, one more." Rye smile I think that is. When you can
:09:58. > :10:03.see the Cup to your right and the finishing line so close.
:10:04. > :10:25.Is it going to be Ashton to claim this, or are we going to go to
:10:26. > :10:29.sudden death? A remind, (inaudible) on the stage it would be sudden
:10:30. > :10:38.death. You can't tear your eyes away from this, can you? High drama at
:10:39. > :10:53.Lakeside. Well done, Deta. Well done, Deta. Hugely important darts.
:10:54. > :11:01.Solid reply, Hedman keeping her nose ahead. Men's Semi will be now live
:11:02. > :11:05.for you on the Red Button. We will be seeing this through to its
:11:06. > :11:10.conclusion. In this programme and then the Men's Semi-final will be on
:11:11. > :11:14.the Red Button, the second semi-final. That will be coming up
:11:15. > :11:24.at the top of the hour. Hello, hello! Suddenly, the look of this
:11:25. > :11:29.leg has turned around entirely. Lisa Ashton, well, she will have a throw
:11:30. > :11:33.at 135 to become World Champion. I wonder how she will be able to
:11:34. > :11:40.control the nerves? Is she going to be able to keep the compose sure.
:11:41. > :11:55.She may well have six from here. She starts with a bull. Treble 10 she's
:11:56. > :12:00.hit, aiming at -- triple 15. Not a bad dart. A narrow miss. She is in
:12:01. > :12:06.pole position now to claim this title, Hedman though 151. She can do
:12:07. > :12:14.it. Or she could. She can't now. And is she going to be denied this title
:12:15. > :12:21.once more? This is the visit that will decide it. They can hardly bear
:12:22. > :12:34.to watch. Top, for the title! Double 10. She has done it! Can you believe
:12:35. > :12:45.it? What a comeback, what a comeback. Deta Hedman was a leg away
:12:46. > :12:50.from the trophy she craves the most. Her scoring desserted her. Lisa
:12:51. > :13:03.Ashton simply doesn't know when she's beaten. Now, Lisa, you're the
:13:04. > :13:06.World Champion. Our heart was going to swell for one of these players
:13:07. > :13:12.and break for the other. That was the case. Lisa Ashton is the
:13:13. > :13:19.resurrection and she is the light of this sparkling Ladies' World
:13:20. > :13:24.Championships 2014. Bobby, it's all about the scoring? She has only
:13:25. > :13:29.played four games. The first three games were only the best of three
:13:30. > :13:38.sets. You look at what she did, 64 ton pluses, 34 ton 40 pluses and 10,
:13:39. > :13:47.180s, put that in your pipe and smoke, it Bobby son. Dote Deta out
:13:48. > :13:51.shots 75%, Lisa's got 41%. The scoring power amazing. It was
:13:52. > :13:56.amazing. She was amazing. How she come back and she kept herself
:13:57. > :14:02.together. I thought... I talking to her, as soon as she thinks she just
:14:03. > :14:06.throws them. Longer we talk about it. That be will evenening longer
:14:07. > :14:14.for her to wait to get her hands on this trophy. The fourth woman ever
:14:15. > :14:19.to lift this. The Golden girl, Trina Gulliver, for the first time Lisa
:14:20. > :14:24.Ashton. Both girls on stage with Rob Walker. Ladies and gentlemen, before
:14:25. > :14:30.we interview or Champion and our runnerup, may we once again have a
:14:31. > :14:37.huge round of of applause for a superbed advert -- superb advert for
:14:38. > :14:42.womens' darts, that was sensational. Deta, first of all, you were so
:14:43. > :14:47.close, you have played with such a smile on your face throughout the
:14:48. > :14:54.week, but just, just agonisingly short in the end? Please don't rub
:14:55. > :15:00.it in! You absolutely played with the dignity of a Champion, 14 titles
:15:01. > :15:04.last year, you have been a superb ambassador for womens' darts. Your
:15:05. > :15:12.day will come again in the future, won't it? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:15:13. > :15:17.Thank you, thank you. There are so many good girls coming through at
:15:18. > :15:27.the moment. To be fair, I will keep going, but I'm... Well, we can see
:15:28. > :15:32.just what this means to Deta. She will be back. Two times a finalist,
:15:33. > :15:36.maybe it will be third time lucky. There always has to be a loser.
:15:37. > :15:41.There always has to be a winner. Lisa, we need to start calling you
:15:42. > :15:45.the Comeback Queen, first against Anastasia now against the World
:15:46. > :15:49.Number One you must be pinching yourself? I am at the moment. I
:15:50. > :15:56.think I'm doing it the very hard way.
:15:57. > :16:02.I am over the moon. You said you had given Lancastrian heart attack and
:16:03. > :16:06.they are not on their sleeves, you have done not only Lancaster proud
:16:07. > :16:13.but your whole family. Daniel has been living Eric -- every arrow. I
:16:14. > :16:18.try not to put them through it but I have to keep them on their toes.
:16:19. > :16:21.There must have come a time in your career when you thought a moment
:16:22. > :16:25.like this and underachievement of this magnitude was beyond you. What
:16:26. > :16:30.kept you believing for all this time? I have had my family and
:16:31. > :16:33.friends and they keep saying to keep going and I thought one day I am
:16:34. > :16:38.sure I can do this. I am really happy with it. You have given
:16:39. > :16:41.everybody a match and a moment to remember for a very long time.
:16:42. > :16:45.Ladies and gentlemen, the presentation is about to begin. Your
:16:46. > :16:55.finalists from a sensational showdown here at Lakeside.
:16:56. > :16:59.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well, it was a truly emotional
:17:00. > :17:08.moment there. Deta Hedman was almost overcome. Lisa Ashton so
:17:09. > :17:13.wonderfully, wonderfully happy. This is the big moment. Ladies and
:17:14. > :17:18.gentlemen, please could you welcome to the stage our presentation party,
:17:19. > :17:23.Mr Bob Potter OBE, the owner and magic director of the Lakeside and
:17:24. > :17:31.Barbara Leach, the chief executive director accompanied by the British
:17:32. > :17:42.Darts Organisation's Wayne Williams. APPLAUSE
:17:43. > :17:45.To receive a cheque for ?5,000 the 2014 Lakeside ladies World
:17:46. > :18:08.Championship runner-up, Deta Hedman. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:18:09. > :18:12.Ladies and gentlemen, once more, our runner-up, Deta Hedman.
:18:13. > :18:28.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And now, to receive ?12,000, the
:18:29. > :18:34.World Championship trophy but most importantly the title of 2014
:18:35. > :18:36.Lakeside ladies' World Champion, Lisa Ashton.
:18:37. > :19:00.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Ladies and gentlemen, your new
:19:01. > :19:04.ladies Lakeside World Champion, Lisa Ashton.
:19:05. > :19:21.Well, who would have thought it? She looked as though she was heading for
:19:22. > :19:25.defeat but she just never, never gave up and, yes, she is the
:19:26. > :19:29.champion. She'd better believe it. She is now top of the game and she
:19:30. > :19:33.has beaten the world number one and that is a moment that she will
:19:34. > :19:43.remember I guess pretty much for ever.
:19:44. > :19:51.It is a family affair. Lisa Ashton's daughters both already play
:19:52. > :19:56.county darts in their teenage years. Girls, when you watched this
:19:57. > :20:01.back, get this message, you need to practice a hell of a lot if you are
:20:02. > :20:06.going to be as good as mummy. She holds up the number one after all
:20:07. > :20:10.these years, both of these girls are champions but they couldn't do it up
:20:11. > :20:18.there. It was always going to be a really emotional affair and Deta had
:20:19. > :20:25.a moment there, so many times somebody can tell you your chance
:20:26. > :20:31.will come. I felt sorry for her, her chance was therefore the taking and
:20:32. > :20:36.you can think about it. She completely lost it. Lisa, the way
:20:37. > :20:46.she scored was amazing. Just amazing. She just, she was
:20:47. > :20:51.marvellous. Yellow Robin as Rob was saying, time and time again she fell
:20:52. > :20:55.behind and she never knows when to give up. Some of the schools that
:20:56. > :21:04.she managed to put up were absolutely sensational. Ton plus
:21:05. > :21:08.finishes, 180 As, she got the bull's-eye when she needed it. This
:21:09. > :21:12.one in particular, this is the last eight darts, third leg of that one.
:21:13. > :21:15.one in particular, this is the last eight darts, third She goes back up
:21:16. > :21:20.to the board, I tell you what, it might not be my finish but, boys,
:21:21. > :21:29.this is how you do it. 170, we haven't had back in the men As and
:21:30. > :21:34.big scores but you need to take out the schools. That was top drawer.
:21:35. > :21:39.She was fantastic. She played lovely darts and she deserves to be World
:21:40. > :21:44.Champion today. The way she played. The 141, which is one they practice.
:21:45. > :21:53.Brilliant. I tell you what, the Shanghai, have a bit of that.
:21:54. > :21:59.Lovely! She kept her nerve, she kept her steel. I felt sorry for Deta,
:22:00. > :22:03.she completely went. These are the final darts. This is how she got the
:22:04. > :22:09.job done. Double 10, so many times she missed the double top and she
:22:10. > :22:17.was straight into double 10. Darter was Matt -- Deta was winning and we
:22:18. > :22:22.wrote our notes, sitting there, to crown Deta champion and from nowhere
:22:23. > :22:27.Lisa came back. The heart soars on the one hand but on the other hand
:22:28. > :22:30.it is heavy right now. It is never over until you are finished, until
:22:31. > :22:36.you have hit the winning double, you have never won the championship and
:22:37. > :22:44.look at that game and think it is Deta's, it is definitely hers, then
:22:45. > :22:54.Lisa comes up with the scores, brilliant, and she finished. A 141
:22:55. > :22:59.and 108 was brilliant. She had over 96 average in her first darts, she
:23:00. > :23:03.was just about 0.1 from an 85 overall average and finally the
:23:04. > :23:06.doubles started to go in the tournament so far she's been
:23:07. > :23:10.averaging about one in four but she took it over 41 and in that form she
:23:11. > :23:16.could beat anyone in the ladies' game. She went from 20 something to
:23:17. > :23:22.41, unbelievable. Just ridiculous, isn't it? I could not believe it. It
:23:23. > :23:28.was just lovely to watch women's. This week, particularly the last
:23:29. > :23:35.four games, absolutely brilliant. It has been great for the ladies'
:23:36. > :23:41.darts. Lisa Ashton against Aileen de Graaf will live long in the mind,
:23:42. > :23:46.and that final will be one that people will well up about in the
:23:47. > :23:50.ladies' game in years from now. Expanding from eight to 16 has been
:23:51. > :23:53.a godsend for the ladies' game because the competition is there,
:23:54. > :23:59.the established players and the new hungry teenagers coming through. It
:24:00. > :24:04.gives the ladies who are there to play more legs to get to the final.
:24:05. > :24:08.May have chance -- they have had their chance on the Lakeside stage
:24:09. > :24:13.but it has been one of the familiar faces in BDO darts, Lisa Ashton who
:24:14. > :24:16.comes backstage and hugs her daughter, who sits with her day
:24:17. > :24:22.after day here willing her mummy on and that is why we are seeing more
:24:23. > :24:26.tears now backstage. Lovely, good luck to her. For all three of them
:24:27. > :24:31.now, a week from now, there is the tears flowing now for Lisa. She
:24:32. > :24:35.managed to keep them off on stage and get them back there. Trina
:24:36. > :24:39.Gulliver around as well just about to congratulate her. She has had her
:24:40. > :24:42.hand on that trophy nine times and everyone, there will not be a more
:24:43. > :24:51.popular winner backstage bubbly than Deta Hedman. -- probably than Deta
:24:52. > :24:57.Hedman. She will go back next week to play with her daughters at county
:24:58. > :25:00.level. It is romantic even for you. You are World Champion then you go
:25:01. > :25:04.back to the county, Super League, she plays super league and they will
:25:05. > :25:08.want to beat her up because she was World Champion. That is the
:25:09. > :25:11.pressure. They go around the world spending loads of money to get to
:25:12. > :25:16.this tournament. They don't earn big money, the ladies. They do it
:25:17. > :25:20.because they enjoy the sport. This probably sums up everything about
:25:21. > :25:22.the BDO, because like so many other sports they travelled together and
:25:23. > :25:26.know each other so well. We are seeing sons of players, Robbie
:25:27. > :25:29.Green's son has just given her an embrace. We are seeing people
:25:30. > :25:34.connected with all sorts of different players and officials come
:25:35. > :25:38.up and congratulate Lisa, just like they would have done had Deta won
:25:39. > :25:43.the close encounter in the ladies' final but it is the English rose.
:25:44. > :25:47.How much more we can say about the final other than well done, Lisa.
:25:48. > :25:53.Yes, well done, darling, keep going, keep playing, keep showing how good
:25:54. > :25:59.you are. Lovely to watch, she is. Lovely stuff. From 6p on the red
:26:00. > :26:03.button we have the men's semifinal between Jan Dekker and Alan Norris.
:26:04. > :26:07.We have all night to talk about that but Robbie Green did not bring his a
:26:08. > :26:10.game to the stage and fortunately Stephen Bunting won the first
:26:11. > :26:16.semifinal today. He is the number one seed. He is the world number
:26:17. > :26:26.one, the favourite here and Steven Watt -- Stephen Bunting wings that
:26:27. > :26:30.6-1. So it is Alan Norris, from England, the truth be known, he is
:26:31. > :26:35.from Scotland, he is from Sweden, he is from the Netherlands, he is from
:26:36. > :26:39.Timbuktu, but this week so far he's been out of this planet and he's
:26:40. > :26:43.against Jan Dekker, the number six seed, who has been getting better
:26:44. > :26:45.and better in this tournament. He found the extra point he needed
:26:46. > :26:50.against Martin Adams and it was nice to see him go out more calm and
:26:51. > :26:55.especially take the first three sets to dominate a player, the first time
:26:56. > :27:02.Jan Dekker has done that this week. Well, actually he did play well so
:27:03. > :27:09.the double-decker took advantage. He has been in semifinals, so he did
:27:10. > :27:13.not really play that well this year but he has got to where he is
:27:14. > :27:18.without finals but if he starts playing his own game he could be
:27:19. > :27:23.really dangerous. He is a dangerous player. Norris knows how good he is.
:27:24. > :27:28.Norris will be backstage like this, in his Zen like state that he has
:27:29. > :27:32.developed this week. He is unflappable. I can hear my director
:27:33. > :27:38.saying, have you got any shots of Norris backstage? I know where he
:27:39. > :27:41.is, sitting in a room on his own. In the back room, practising. probably
:27:42. > :27:46.on his own, let's go back there now, you see? We are seeing Lisa Ashton
:27:47. > :27:51.still celebrating, everyone wishing had the best of luck. You probably
:27:52. > :27:56.will not see Alan Norris, he will be in a room of the side and right at
:27:57. > :28:00.the back of the room is the face of Jan Dekker in his orange shirt. He
:28:01. > :28:04.knows he is up next and he was sitting with his brother, who just
:28:05. > :28:08.came over, sitting with his dad as well, his whole family. I will not
:28:09. > :28:14.ask you to pick a winner because you and I are on a marathon. We have had
:28:15. > :28:19.a semifinal, a ladies' final, we do the men's second semifinal on the
:28:20. > :28:23.red button. Do join us for that but let me tell you in the ladies' final
:28:24. > :28:31.today the English rose has proven to be a late Lakeside boss. Lisa is
:28:32. > :28:33.champion. We will see you on the red button and highlights later.
