:00:32. > :00:40.CHEERING Good afternoon. It is escaped to the

:00:41. > :00:46.country once again on the BBC. Lakeside is ready for an actor noon

:00:47. > :00:53.of arrows, it is tinged with pink and headlined by BDO's 2 champions.

:00:54. > :01:01.The 2015 world darts champion is Scott Mitchell! For Lancashire...

:01:02. > :01:14.What an exciting and brilliant match. I love this trophy. I love

:01:15. > :01:22.this trophy. Achievement. On. Glory. Pride, history. The best sporting

:01:23. > :01:30.day of my life! I will do everything in my power to keep holding this

:01:31. > :01:36.trophy. I will do anything to keep my hands on this trophy. Lisa Ashton

:01:37. > :01:40.and Scott Mitchell both in action today. Watched by the brilliant

:01:41. > :01:44.Bobby George, a man who has been around so long he thinks that young

:01:45. > :01:50.people use tinder to light fires. A real mixed bag today. Looking

:01:51. > :01:55.forward to it, the youth, they put on a good show but both world

:01:56. > :01:59.champions, the winners, we want to see if they can retain it or lose it

:02:00. > :02:09.today, it will be exciting. The same with me. Let's deal with the

:02:10. > :02:17.specifics. 1st up... The kids. The BDO world youth final, Jordan Boyce

:02:18. > :02:22.taking on Joshua Richard 7. Then the 1st of 2 women's quarterfinals,

:02:23. > :02:26.Ann-Louise Peters beating Fallon Sherrock who is against the pink

:02:27. > :02:32.Panthers are we Jones. We are pretty in pink again, Scott Mitchell gets

:02:33. > :02:35.ready to follow up on a solid 1st-round performance and he takes

:02:36. > :02:44.on debutant Mark McGeeney who should consist of up proper player. -- who

:02:45. > :02:48.showed glimpses of a proper player. Lisa Ashton, hoping to win a 3rd

:02:49. > :02:53.title in a row... But when it comes to title she has a long way to go to

:02:54. > :03:02.match her opponent today, Trina Gulliver has 9 of them. We begin in

:03:03. > :03:07.the future. The BDO youth final, a 16 -year-old garish darts not

:03:08. > :03:21.against a 17 -year-old English hotshot. -- Irish darts not.

:03:22. > :03:33.Jordan Boyce, I am 16, I am from Donegal Ireland and my nickname is

:03:34. > :03:37.bullet-proof. Hopefully I can do it on the big stage today.

:03:38. > :03:46.I am Joshua Richardson, 17, from Rushton in Northamptonshire and my

:03:47. > :03:54.nickname is stealth. I am quiet and let the darts of the talking.

:03:55. > :04:04.My dad played county for years. He got me into them. I practice around

:04:05. > :04:12.3 or 4 hours a day, maybe more. I play a lot in local leagues, nearly

:04:13. > :04:22.every night. My dad got me into playing darts when I was about 8. My

:04:23. > :04:33.grandparent Peter, my dad's dad got him into darts, it is a family

:04:34. > :04:37.thing. My granny and grandad, my auntie and uncle... They are coming

:04:38. > :04:43.over, hopefully they can shout from the crowd. I am really looking

:04:44. > :04:52.forward to it. Sitting in a lot of practice recently. Hope it pays off.

:04:53. > :04:57.-- putting in a lot of practice. I am over the Moon to be here. I can't

:04:58. > :05:05.wait to get out there and hopefully do the job. Not just in the way they

:05:06. > :05:12.look, it feels like we have a little bit of a David and collide. Joshua

:05:13. > :05:17.is 8 or 9 days away from his 18th birthday, Jordan, the Irish boy,

:05:18. > :05:23.turned 16 and quite freshfaced and Jordan, in getting here, the best of

:05:24. > :05:31.5 lakes, he had 3, 3- 2, Joshua only lost 3 legs. It is interesting. They

:05:32. > :05:32.have got no nerves. They get up and played darts, don't worry about the

:05:33. > :05:39.nerves. It's important. That is the played darts, don't worry about the

:05:40. > :05:43.big 1. The best of 5 legs, this is the best of 5 sets. A long game,

:05:44. > :05:52.probably never played that long before. They say, we could not do it

:05:53. > :05:54.if we were that age but they've have been playing since they were 10 or

:05:55. > :05:59.11, in different clubs, the Super been playing since they were 10 or

:06:00. > :06:03.League, where dads played. They love the game. They should

:06:04. > :06:13.League, where dads played. They love play... Darts, hopefully.

:06:14. > :06:15.League, where dads played. They love don't say anything and get me into

:06:16. > :06:22.trouble. A nice divide here, Jordan from Donegal. What a sporting hotbed

:06:23. > :06:30.that is, Shay Given and Pat Bonner. You will back Joshua. You pick my

:06:31. > :06:34.bets for me. Let's get down to the master of ceremonies, his favourite

:06:35. > :06:38.game of the year. The only game he has a chance of looking the

:06:39. > :06:45.daughters in the eye. It is little Richard Ashdown. Ladies and

:06:46. > :06:50.gentlemen, the 2016 BDO World Champion chip youth final! Here at

:06:51. > :07:00.the home of world darts... Lakeside! CHEERING

:07:01. > :07:05.We now introduced to the stage a world Masters finalist, 17 years of

:07:06. > :07:10.age, from Northamptonshire... Stealth Josh Richardson!

:07:11. > :08:04.APPLAUSE We now introduced from the Republic

:08:05. > :08:07.of Ireland, the Donegal youth fire world champion, 16 years old,

:08:08. > :08:43.bullet-proof Jordan Boyce! 2 really good walk on

:08:44. > :08:52.luck to both of them. Let's join the commentary team. At 76 years young,

:08:53. > :09:00.it's Tony Green. And Vassos Alexander, his age remains a mystery

:09:01. > :09:06.to us all, not least on Wikipedia. COMMENTATOR: I will take that. Tony,

:09:07. > :09:17.it is my favourite double, it is now! Here we have... Possibly, the

:09:18. > :09:26.future of darts. Joshua Richardson. From Rushton in Northamptonshire.

:09:27. > :09:36.In 10 days or so he will turn 18, next Saturday. And Jordan Boyce,

:09:37. > :09:48.from County Donegal. There is a difference in height.

:09:49. > :09:58.3 more practice darts and then we are under way. In the 2016 youth

:09:59. > :10:07.final. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. The 2016 Lakeside world

:10:08. > :10:13.youth final. The best of 5 sets. The 1st set, 1st leg, Josh to throw 1st,

:10:14. > :10:21.it game on! Here we go. The youth is here. Joshua Richardson, 17 years of

:10:22. > :10:28.age. His opponent from Ireland, Jordan Boyce.

:10:29. > :10:45.Looking to see a very, very competitive match. Not a bad start

:10:46. > :10:57.from Richardson. Showing no nervousness.

:10:58. > :11:13.Nearly had another go at getting in the board.

:11:14. > :11:22.I tell you what, they both get on with it, don't they? Like I said, it

:11:23. > :11:28.is nerve wracking for them at this stage. You can imagine it. But once

:11:29. > :11:39.they get into the match... They will be OK.

:11:40. > :11:48.Joshua has been playing darts since he was 8. That is 9 years of darting

:11:49. > :11:53.experience. Jordan has been a darts player since he was 4 years old.

:11:54. > :12:03.Even though he is the younger man, playing for 3 years more.

:12:04. > :12:07.This would be something, he is cross with themselves, he fancied it. Well

:12:08. > :12:13.done. OK, here we go. Joshua with the 1st

:12:14. > :12:29.chance. Neither of those darts was far away.

:12:30. > :12:55.Richardson back... Got to move right across and thread

:12:56. > :13:32.1 through. He is going to hit it 1st time.

:13:33. > :13:40.Secondly, Jordan to 1st. Game on. The 1st leg goes with the darts.

:13:41. > :13:46.Jordan has a couple of years left at school, he was telling me. Tries to

:13:47. > :13:51.play competitively 3 or 4 times a week of practice is 2 or 3 hours

:13:52. > :13:56.every day. All of his friends or on the Xbox and PlayStation but he is

:13:57. > :14:03.on the dartboard. Joshua has immediate plans. To turn

:14:04. > :14:14.professional, if he can. He is going to PDC Q school next week.

:14:15. > :14:20.A long road to travel, a lonely road, as a professional and a lot of

:14:21. > :14:35.travelling. It is exciting, though, Tony, isn't

:14:36. > :14:47.it? As I said, they will be all right when they get over the nerves.

:14:48. > :15:10.They are travelling around the board.

:15:11. > :15:57.That was 4 treble 19. Double 16... Not leaving as much time to catch

:15:58. > :16:03.up. OK, Joshua. 3rd leg, Josh to throw 1st. Game on.

:16:04. > :16:27.Throwing for the 1st set, 2- 0. Be on... Yes, there it is. 180

:16:28. > :16:44.CHEERING There they go.

:16:45. > :16:53.Be careful. He is a thinking man's darts player. Thinks a good game.

:16:54. > :17:08.Straight back in. That was his sister. The sister of

:17:09. > :17:29.Joshua, applauding. Plenty to applaud.

:17:30. > :18:00.We are watching. Joshua... Double 6...

:18:01. > :18:08.I cannot see the board. single mind... The

:18:09. > :18:17.I cannot see the board. 33... This is for the set,

:18:18. > :18:30.He does not like it, does he? To save the set.

:18:31. > :18:59.Game, shot and the 3rd leg, Jordan Boyce. His father, Paddy,

:19:00. > :19:19.He has got plenty of darting awful lot better about life!

:19:20. > :19:24.He has got plenty of darting pedigree, Joshua Richardson. His

:19:25. > :19:30.dad, I am sure you will recognise, his father. Who beat Barney in the

:19:31. > :19:37.1st round of the World Championships in 2012, the PDC. And 1 other thing

:19:38. > :19:43.to say about James... Happy birthday.

:19:44. > :20:07.He will celebrate if his son can get this over.

:20:08. > :20:33.He got himself into a bit of a 33 father at the end of the last leg.

:20:34. > :20:35.He missed it twice. Before heading at the 1st leg, which is probably

:20:36. > :20:50.why he going for it. OK. Here we go. Treble 19... He has gone for the

:20:51. > :21:47.20... This is to level the 1st said...

:21:48. > :22:01.Yes! 5th leg, Josh to throw 1st. All square, 2- 2.

:22:02. > :22:16.Good start by Joshua. Good marker, as well. Yes... He just lost his way

:22:17. > :22:22.a little bit in the last leg having missed those 9 darts. To take the

:22:23. > :22:24.set. I thought we had got The Blues Brothers in their with a quick

:22:25. > :22:44.glance! The same score, 224. Dead level,

:22:45. > :23:28.isn't it? He has our blessing! Yes, it is

:23:29. > :23:37.there. Game and the 1st set, Jordan Boyce. What a set to win! 2nd set,

:23:38. > :23:43.1st leg, Jordan to throw 1st, game on!

:23:44. > :23:49.Quite if you lose darts, I think they are rushing a little bit,

:23:50. > :23:56.nerves, obviously. But the standard, despite that, it's

:23:57. > :24:10.pretty good. Well, look there, 140, 130 5. The

:24:11. > :24:16.average is don't look great but that's only because we have had a

:24:17. > :24:20.lot of missed doubles. It took Jordan 6 darts to hit his 1st

:24:21. > :24:31.double, since then, he has only missed twice and Joshua has hit 2

:24:32. > :24:33.from Fort team. -- 14. A special occasion for them and it is nerve

:24:34. > :24:37.wracking. But they are getting into it.

:24:38. > :25:00.Treble 19 is open and he has got at. The other thing, they are used to

:25:01. > :25:07.playing best of 5 legs. Not the best of 5 sets. So if this goes long, it

:25:08. > :25:19.is a test of stamina as much as anything else.

:25:20. > :25:38.This is a big 1... He went for treble 19.

:25:39. > :25:47.Game and the 1st leg, Josh Richardson. He will feel an awful

:25:48. > :25:52.lot better about life. He hasn't had a dart at the double since missing

:25:53. > :26:04.the 9 for the 1st set. 1st time back. Take sad 96, easy as you like.

:26:05. > :26:31.A good start, 140. -- takes out 96. Could be going all the way.

:26:32. > :26:35.They don't mess about at the ochie, it is straight up there, no clowning

:26:36. > :27:05.around. Just taking out 96, how does he

:27:06. > :28:16.fancy 97? Treble 18... Yes! Game, shot and the 2nd leg,

:28:17. > :28:24.Josh Richardson. 3rd leg, Jordan to throw 1st, game on!

:28:25. > :28:33.Both players have a lot of supporters here. We saw a quick shot

:28:34. > :28:35.of part of team stealth. The Richardson supporters. Jordan tells

:28:36. > :28:50.me he has 17 over from Donegal. There they are, some of them. They

:28:51. > :29:07.have travelled a long way. From Newton coming from in County

:29:08. > :29:16.Donegal. In the programme, Jordan's nickname is listed as bubble wrap. I

:29:17. > :29:21.asked him, why that? It turns out it is not bubble wrap that is what his

:29:22. > :29:25.mum used to call him when he was little. It is bullet-proof. They

:29:26. > :29:57.called me bubbles. There is mum, Carolyn. I quite like

:29:58. > :30:08.bubble wrap as a nickname! Joshua on a finish.

:30:09. > :30:25.Off we go. See which way he is calling.

:30:26. > :30:42.Not this time. This is through the set. And to level the match, double

:30:43. > :30:56.4. When he is good, he is really good. Third set, first leg, Josh to

:30:57. > :31:05.throw first. Game on. OK, 1-1. Very evenly matched. Could go any way.

:31:06. > :31:10.But they are in the red bits, and that is what they love to see. And

:31:11. > :31:39.trebles. If this goes five sets I wonder if

:31:40. > :31:51.he will do this. Two times in this leg? Issues like a marathon runner

:31:52. > :32:05.who has set off at breakneck speed. Something you would be doing.

:32:06. > :32:18.You are still having your run, aren't you? Every day.

:32:19. > :32:42.OK, treble 20. Double 16! He is quick, isn't he? He is fast.

:32:43. > :33:02.Got another dart at it and one. Good outshot. Treble 20. He has

:33:03. > :33:09.not got the first one, so cannot finish. Jordan coming back for

:33:10. > :33:22.trouble 16 -- double 16. Has got further ahead. Yes! Speedy Gonzales!

:33:23. > :33:27.The second leg, it is Georgian to throw first. Game on. You have done

:33:28. > :33:32.12 of these World Championships over the years. One or two. You have seen

:33:33. > :33:36.a few darts players on that stage in your time, can you remember anyone

:33:37. > :33:45.as quick as quick as Jordan Boyce? He is a youngster and I think you

:33:46. > :33:55.will find the speed is nervous more than anything. In this case, no, he

:33:56. > :34:06.is really fast. Quick brain as well. He knows his way around the board. I

:34:07. > :34:12.am very impressed with both of them. I mean come on the television, first

:34:13. > :34:18.time up there. All of to content with. We were saying before we came

:34:19. > :34:22.on air on BBC Two this afternoon that we were not sure what to

:34:23. > :34:27.expect. We were hoping it would be a decent standard but we certainly did

:34:28. > :34:37.not know it would be and we were confident it would be, and it is.

:34:38. > :34:47.The only thing, accusation you would level against them, to improve their

:34:48. > :34:56.finishing. That is the same with the professionals, at times.

:34:57. > :35:04.Look the treble 20, so he has gone to the 18th. Speaking of finishing,

:35:05. > :35:27.this is one, but it isn't any more. To level the match. Treble. Treble

:35:28. > :35:34.10 is now the shot. Joshua has done this into darts. Treble 17 four tot

:35:35. > :35:55.'s? No. Missed then, straight into the 11. Double 18. 99. Cannot finish

:35:56. > :36:06.now. 63 for Jordan. 14 for tops. Keeping us all on our toes. Yes!

:36:07. > :36:14.Third leg, Josh to throw first. His dad is pleased, that is for sure.

:36:15. > :36:24.There have not been many lakes when they have both had darts to win it.

:36:25. > :37:05.Very fluent. Just one in each set so far.

:37:06. > :37:09.Blocking the bed. With both darts. It will be back up top for the

:37:10. > :37:25.treble 18. Go on! Richardson has got one. The

:37:26. > :37:40.darts bishop wanted to see it. He has his blessing.

:37:41. > :37:52.Every time with the last start he seems to get the treble. He has left

:37:53. > :37:57.one or two to finish on. -- 102. This is fully set to move to within

:37:58. > :38:10.one of the victory. Treble 70 would have left double 18. It is a finish,

:38:11. > :38:17.treble 20. No finish now. It is all up to Georgian now. 24 double 16,

:38:18. > :38:18.nearly hit a treble. APPLAUSE

:38:19. > :38:44.CHEERING Fourth set, leg.

:38:45. > :38:46.We have a new favourite. I see they've let Billy in to enjoy the

:38:47. > :39:08.darts. Had a late night last night. Do you have any bull's-eye mugs or

:39:09. > :39:16.memorabilia at home? No, I haven't. They are treasures now. But we have

:39:17. > :39:22.still got Billy Comey comes around every Saturday. -- Billy, he comes

:39:23. > :39:57.around. Joshua on 89, 260 is required. This

:39:58. > :40:07.for a break of the row. 88, yes -- double 8.

:40:08. > :40:25.Joshua, first leg, the set he has to win.

:40:26. > :40:37.He seems to have a very orthodox throwing action, Joshua Richardson,

:40:38. > :40:41.but that was his sixth abound out. I don't know if that is bad luck or is

:40:42. > :40:48.there something you could do to prevent that. It is the way the

:40:49. > :41:04.barrel finishes as it goes into the board, if it is coming straight

:41:05. > :41:11.down, clips that and bang. Have to go below now, with that first start.

:41:12. > :41:24.Good from Jordan. Both on 188. That is unusual.

:41:25. > :41:27.Richardson was the advantage of throwing first. Cannot find a

:41:28. > :41:52.Treble 20 is needed. Leave the bull. treble. Good finishing, his 130.

:41:53. > :42:00.Treble 20 is needed. Leave the bull. Looks like that is a single one that

:42:01. > :42:10.was blocked. It is. Treble 17, this is for the bull's-eye come he wanted

:42:11. > :42:18.a treble 488, but this is for the bull. Double 16. Yes! Joss

:42:19. > :42:25.Richardson, third leg, Georgian to throw first. Game on. -- Jordan to

:42:26. > :42:31.throw first. He is on the comeback trail. Jordan Boyce won the first

:42:32. > :42:39.set that looked to be going the way of Joshua Richardson. He had nine

:42:40. > :42:47.darts to win it 3-0. But let Boyce back in. Richardson levelled,

:42:48. > :42:55.winning the second set 3-0 with some horrific finishing, 96 in a 68. The

:42:56. > :43:01.third set when I left's way and it looks like we're going all the way

:43:02. > :43:06.because this one at the moment is going to Northamptonshire and the

:43:07. > :43:15.man they call Stealth. Joshua Richardson.

:43:16. > :43:30.Might be tiring. rows of Jordan's.

:43:31. > :43:41.It is not there. Good recovery. Good change. To leave 170, which is a

:43:42. > :43:54.finish. To treble 20s. He will be back

:43:55. > :44:01.because of that 42 from Jordan leaving him around, stranded on 184.

:44:02. > :44:14.Great cover on the 19th. Leaves himself double 18 when he comes

:44:15. > :44:18.back. He is working up, double 18, double 9. Double 4. Yes! Josh

:44:19. > :44:37.Richardson! Fifth and final set. First leg is

:44:38. > :44:40.Josh to throw first. Game on. It is still the first to three

:44:41. > :44:43.Josh to throw first. Game on. It is if we get to two legs apiece,

:44:44. > :44:49.Josh to throw first. Game on. It is did in the opening set, it goes to

:44:50. > :44:55.sudden death. What a good start from Joshua Richardson! If it goes to two

:44:56. > :45:03.apiece they would play for the advantage of throwing first in a

:45:04. > :45:12.deciding leg. It has been a great fightback by Joshua. Already taking

:45:13. > :45:20.charge in this leg. That will help Georgian! -- Jordan! Difficult to

:46:00. > :46:07.That would have been a for dart leg, you won't care as long as he hit it

:46:08. > :46:12.now -- he won't care. There it is! Finishing on the 16th has been

:46:13. > :46:24.excellent for him. Jordan to throw first. Nine from 31 overall. He has

:46:25. > :46:33.two really push it now, Jordan. Under pressure. First time he has

:46:34. > :46:40.been ahead since he missed those nine darts to win the first set.

:46:41. > :46:50.And then lost the first set 3-2. He is getting his cover shots in as

:46:51. > :47:16.well. Jordan Boyce were once told his --

:47:17. > :47:22.will want to hold his throw. Could not quite fashion a finish. Nor has

:47:23. > :47:54.Joshua. Treble 24 bull's-eye. Wake for it

:47:55. > :48:01.anyway, hit it anyway. Go on. -- went for it. Not this time, double

:48:02. > :48:14.top coming in for Jordan. To level this final again. Double top! Double

:48:15. > :48:22.10! Yes! Third leg, Josh to throw first, game on. Suddenly it is the

:48:23. > :48:37.best of three legs. And what a start! 180! Everyone is standing and

:48:38. > :48:50.applauding? ! Is the second of the match. He has been brilliant.

:48:51. > :49:08.Needed that ten. Keeps him in with it, but look at this, once again.

:49:09. > :49:18.Two dads back to back. I wonder what they are thinking. Treble 20 would

:49:19. > :49:27.have left those I -- would have left bull's-eye. They will have a drink

:49:28. > :49:40.after, whoever wins. Treble 20 leaves double 14. Treble 20. He is

:49:41. > :49:51.calling for the bull! He doesn't have to, doesn't go for it, but then

:49:52. > :50:10.Mrs big 18 -- but then misses. 14 for double 16. 66! -- double 6. Have

:50:11. > :50:23.really got the crowd going. They are loving it. We have got a good future

:50:24. > :50:24.with these two. Definitely. Remember the names Joshua Richardson and

:50:25. > :50:41.Jordan Boyce. They have both given an excellent

:50:42. > :50:56.account of themselves. Yes, look at this leg.

:50:57. > :51:08.Not going through the Roof, but they are creeping up there as these

:51:09. > :51:13.averages. The averages would be much higher if the checkout percentages

:51:14. > :51:29.were better. And they have been the odd visit like that, the 44s. Double

:51:30. > :51:45.16 is left for Joshua Richardson. 213. This is the moment. Double 16.

:51:46. > :51:51.Game! Josh! And the 2016 Lakeside world darts youth championship goes

:51:52. > :51:57.to Josh Richardson! What a final high-performance! What a lovely

:53:07. > :53:12.he has ahead of him. Practices everyday and played a cracking good

:53:13. > :53:27.final. Came up just a little short. Your runner-up, Jordan Boyce! To

:53:28. > :53:31.receive ?5,000, and that man a trophy and most importantly the

:53:32. > :53:48.title of the 2016 Lakeside World Youth Champion, stealth Josh

:53:49. > :53:55.Richardson! Lakeside stands and applauds for the man who is about

:53:56. > :54:05.turn 18, the man who has just won the Lakeside youth world title, the

:54:06. > :54:08.man is Joshua Richardson. He is the Lakeside World Youth Champion, Josh

:54:09. > :54:21.Stealth Richardson! MUSIC: We are the

:54:22. > :54:31.Champions By Queen. Jordan Boyce at 16 years old if

:54:32. > :54:36.you're just tuning income he was fast and fearless and furious,

:54:37. > :54:42.Joshua Richardson was Josh the boss, you just had a little more. He was a

:54:43. > :54:46.bit slower, but very good on his 19 shots. His cover shots. The way he

:54:47. > :54:48.throws the darts, they stick up in the air. He pushes the dart out the

:54:49. > :54:53.ball. the air. He pushes the dart out the

:54:54. > :54:58.downwards, they stick in the board, the cover

:54:59. > :55:00.downwards, they stick in the board, 16 is, on the 337 beginning of the

:55:01. > :55:04.match, they put him off a bit. No 16 is, on the 337 beginning of the

:55:05. > :55:08.one wants to miss a 33. He 16 is, on the 337 beginning of the

:55:09. > :55:09.twice. It was 16 is, on the 337 beginning of the

:55:10. > :55:11.game and good match. 16 is, on the 337 beginning of the

:55:12. > :55:21.ended up with the 33% actually it was to nerves at the

:55:22. > :55:25.beginning. Got it up to a really respectable percentage checkout. But

:55:26. > :55:30.only that, the average would have been higher because lots of darts

:55:31. > :55:35.missed doubles in early doors and if you had that it would probably been

:55:36. > :55:40.in the 80s. It was an even match as well. The other guy was so quick and

:55:41. > :55:47.fast, that is what tickled me, he was running up and down the oche. He

:55:48. > :55:50.will have to slow down a bit. Interesting because on one hand you

:55:51. > :55:55.have Georgian com you grew up so quickly when you are young and he is

:55:56. > :56:00.still dressed -- freshfaced, the other side at 17 we can look at him

:56:01. > :56:03.there, Joshua Richardson looks older. The remember the episode of

:56:04. > :56:11.only fools and horses were Rodney wins the trip and he has two

:56:12. > :56:15.potentially under 16? It would be difficult for him, wouldn't he? We

:56:16. > :56:22.will check his passport at the back to make sure. He is 17 years old and

:56:23. > :56:25.just one that. I would say the youngsters at darts, Michel Smith

:56:26. > :56:32.who came of age this year, he had big wins when he was 21, 22, 23, but

:56:33. > :56:33.at 205I consider him to be a young player of the future. The key

:56:34. > :56:38.getting younger. But 16 and 17, player of the future. The key

:56:39. > :56:45.are babies. He doesn't look ABB to me. He could grow a beard better

:56:46. > :56:49.than me. -- he doesn't look like a baby. We can go backstage, because

:56:50. > :56:52.obviously they are baby. We can go backstage, because

:56:53. > :56:59.families and friends, their chaperones and everyone they can

:57:00. > :57:02.take with them and Rob Walker is going to collar Joshua

:57:03. > :57:05.take with them and Rob Walker is her youth champion, to have a word

:57:06. > :57:13.with him. What a fantastic reception and what a great day! I cannot

:57:14. > :57:15.believe what I just made my dream come true. You looks pretty calm at

:57:16. > :57:20.times. Double 3 give come true. You looks pretty calm at

:57:21. > :57:24.problems but you can put yourself and got back into the match

:57:25. > :57:31.beautifully. Double 3 let me down a bit. I tried to swap to double 2 and

:57:32. > :57:35.it didn't work. I calmed down in the later game, darts flowing. How much

:57:36. > :57:40.did you enjoy the occasion? This is what you want to do, what can a

:57:41. > :57:43.professional. Has it given you a taste of the big-time? It has been a

:57:44. > :57:48.massive confidence boost, definitely. And what about the 5000?

:57:49. > :57:52.We were wagering back here when you collected the trophy, is it in a

:57:53. > :57:56.savings account or do you fancy a car because you are about to turn

:57:57. > :58:00.18? I or you got a car from Christmas. Most of it will go into a

:58:01. > :58:06.darts account and I will keep some of it. And what confidence you will

:58:07. > :58:15.take from this as you head into the qualifying school. That is it. Next

:58:16. > :58:18.week is my birthday, on the Saturday, so it could be a big

:58:19. > :58:22.birthday treat from me, the quarterfinal. The omens are good.

:58:23. > :58:25.January 2016 could be among your member for a long time. Many

:58:26. > :58:28.congratulations look after the trophy and good luck for the future.

:58:29. > :58:32.Thank you. APPLAUSE

:58:33. > :58:38.18 next weekend. He gets of age next weekend, that five grand, free bar

:58:39. > :58:42.for him and his mates! He will put it in his darts account so it pays

:58:43. > :58:46.them to travel, which is sensible. Yes, but he has a big future ahead

:58:47. > :58:51.of him and there's lots of money in darts. I say below it. His parents

:58:52. > :58:59.will probably send him around the country. If he qualifies his got to

:59:00. > :59:04.go week in, week out. He needs it. Spent the money to making money on

:59:05. > :59:10.darts. Invest it in gold! That is the way forward! Load more darts

:59:11. > :59:16.action for you today. That is the world user final. We have more

:59:17. > :59:24.coming up. We have two ladies quarterfinals for you later on.

:59:25. > :59:35.Trina Gulliver has won nine titles here and Lisa Ashley is going first

:59:36. > :59:39.third title. In the bottom half of the women's draw, the ring

:59:40. > :59:44.Winstanley, who was fantastic yesterday, averaged in the mid-80s

:59:45. > :59:49.and took her checkout out of a title winning side from the last 16. Deta

:59:50. > :59:52.Hedman has once many titles in the last 12 months but still needs to

:59:53. > :59:57.get her hands on this Lakeside title. First up we will concentrate

:59:58. > :00:02.on England's Zoe Jones. She is taking on Ann-Louise Peters,

:00:03. > :00:08.seemingly invisible on her way to the last eight. Better shape two --

:00:09. > :00:14.it is fair to say she's putting on a happy face.

:00:15. > :00:28.Here we go. She is in tears of joy. I think I did it because of my kids.

:00:29. > :00:35.They watched the game at home in Denmark and they know... Month away

:00:36. > :00:43.from home and I won! It was too much for me. You know, when I was here 2

:00:44. > :00:48.years ago I just was starting up again. I had had a break for 10

:00:49. > :00:55.years and I qualified to go there. And I just to get easy and suddenly

:00:56. > :01:01.I am there against Deta Hedman and it was great, good. And now, I can

:01:02. > :01:05.feel it is good that I won against Fallon Sherrock, for my country.

:01:06. > :01:12.Darts is not the same in Denmark as it is in England but now, every

:01:13. > :01:16.television, newspaper, calling and you get the sport more out in

:01:17. > :01:24.Denmark and that is very proud, I am. This is the biggest 1. When you

:01:25. > :01:30.go on that stage, it is the biggest 1. You are like a famous person.

:01:31. > :01:38.They want to say hi and top with you. I love it so much! I am here

:01:39. > :01:44.and I want to enjoy it. I think I met this week twice and I won 1 and

:01:45. > :01:47.lost 1 and she is a great player. -- mezzo way. Hopefully I will make a

:01:48. > :01:57.good game. England's Solly Jones taking on the

:01:58. > :02:02.wonderful Ann-Louise Peters who worse hard on her sleeve, it means

:02:03. > :02:09.some watched her. We taken to her. The pink Panther from Redditch, we

:02:10. > :02:15.love her as well, to PDO ranking titles, reached the quarterfinal

:02:16. > :02:19.before, only 23 years of age. 1 of those players could explode into

:02:20. > :02:23.world-class form. The thing is expected, very much part of the new

:02:24. > :02:28.breed in women's arts. If you things about Ann-Louise Peters, worst of

:02:29. > :02:38.all, the walk on, she gives it the teen attorney. -- the Tina Turner.

:02:39. > :02:42.She actually finishes with good darts, she took a chance, she didn't

:02:43. > :02:48.score a well but she took chances. She walked on the stage last time

:02:49. > :02:51.was no 1 giving her a hope in Heck, she was playing Fallon Sherrock and

:02:52. > :02:54.everyone Shane Lowry was straight line to the final, taking on Lisa

:02:55. > :03:01.Ashton but this time it's a different game. She is the slight

:03:02. > :03:05.favourite. That's true, but Fallon Sherrock played excellent scoring

:03:06. > :03:10.wise but she could not finish. Ann-Louise Peters took the advantage

:03:11. > :03:15.and took the game... If she plays and heads the doubles, she could win

:03:16. > :03:20.it. But it's always at the end of the game... If you do not hit your

:03:21. > :03:24.doubles, we say the same old thing, you do not win. If you don't score,

:03:25. > :03:31.you don't get to the doubles so you need both. 50- 50. You said that

:03:32. > :03:38.perfectly. The coin toss begins with the introductions, Little Richard

:03:39. > :03:43.Ashdown. Ladies and gentlemen, the 20 16th Lakeside World

:03:44. > :03:48.Championships. It's ladies quarterfinals, here at the home of

:03:49. > :03:54.world darts... The Lakeside! -- the 2016. We now bring to the stage a

:03:55. > :04:00.Lakeside World Championship semifinalist. The reigning Swiss

:04:01. > :04:05.Open champion. It's the Danish diamond, Ann-Louise Peters!

:04:06. > :05:34.MUSIC: Simply The Best by Tina Turner

:05:35. > :05:42.We now welcome to the stage a former Antwerp open and Turkish open

:05:43. > :05:44.champion. She is an England international... It is the pink

:05:45. > :05:53.Panther... Zoe Jones! MUSIC: The Pink Panther

:05:54. > :06:59.Theme by Henry Mancini For any darters opener, even if you

:07:00. > :07:03.are professional and making hundreds of thousands of pounds, if you come

:07:10. > :07:14.Both of those girls know how to play darts, Baycol the Pink Panther, but

:07:15. > :07:28.darts comes down to 2 colours, green and red. In the commentary box, it

:07:29. > :07:31.is George Riley and John Rowland. COMMENTATOR: this game has an

:07:32. > :07:38.interesting facets. A really good matchup. Ann-Louise Peters speed

:07:39. > :07:45.Fallon Sherrock 1st time up, great Bourgogne, she really enjoys it. Zoe

:07:46. > :07:51.Jones, came through a fairly tight match against the Kiwi, Tina

:07:52. > :07:53.Osborne. 1st set, 1st leg, Ann-Louise Peters to throw 1st, game

:07:54. > :08:02.on! Thankfully that was the extended

:08:03. > :08:08.version of simply the best. It needed to be! She did not exactly

:08:09. > :08:21.rush on, did she? Zoe Jones, the fellow she gave a big

:08:22. > :08:27.hug to on the way Ian was her brother. As ever, watching on. The

:08:28. > :08:33.Turkish open champion last year, runner-up in the German open, the

:08:34. > :08:38.BDO International this time around. And Louise, the current Swiss Open

:08:39. > :08:46.champion. And the only Danish woman ever to play at the Lakeside. Very

:08:47. > :08:50.impressive, knocking out Fallon Sherrock, surprisingly constable,

:08:51. > :08:57.the two seed was out of sorts in that 1. That was Ann-Louise Peters

:08:58. > :09:21.husband watching on. There he is. I wonder if he can

:09:22. > :09:23.strut his stuff to Simply The Best? I would wager he has probably had

:09:24. > :09:31.the I would wager he has probably had

:09:32. > :09:37.he does not seem to shy. The 1st maximum. 180!

:09:38. > :09:44.CHEERING Got to the semifinals in 2014.

:09:45. > :09:50.Beating Rachel Brookes along the way, before losing to detail

:09:51. > :09:53.headman. Detail headman is seeded 3 this year. 1 more dart at double

:09:54. > :10:08.16... Jones was the favourite for this.

:10:09. > :10:11.With the bookies. Lisa Ashton, all for all, the hot favourite to retain

:10:12. > :10:27.her title. A good double. Taking the 1st leg. With the darts.

:10:28. > :10:45.At the 3rd attempt, double 16. There it goes, bang in the middle.

:10:46. > :11:28.That is more like it. So we went out in the quarterfinals to Anastasia to

:11:29. > :11:39.be lover in 2016. -- Debromyslova. That is Hannah, the

:11:40. > :12:25.fiance of Zoe Jones. The atmosphere, as ever, starting to

:12:26. > :12:26.warm up at the Lakeside. Still a feud spare seats but there would be

:12:27. > :12:40.later on. A party atmosphere, as ever. Some

:12:41. > :12:44.fabulous action still to come. If you have a Lakeside ticket this

:12:45. > :13:05.Thursday, you're going to be in for a treat!

:13:06. > :13:11.Both of them averaging mid- 70s right now.

:13:12. > :13:23.That has improved things for Zoe. The 3rd 140 for the Pink Panther.

:13:24. > :13:31.Worcestershire player, Zoe Jones, and England international. Lots of

:13:32. > :13:44.success in the youth game. Before moving up.

:13:45. > :13:50.A couple of loose 1s from and Louise.

:13:51. > :14:11.146 is possible, it would raise the roof if she did. Good start.

:14:12. > :14:25.Shame about the last dart. This, for a break of throw... Treble 17.

:14:26. > :14:51.There we go, beautifully done. Throwing well again. Great. So we

:14:52. > :14:55.Jones, seeded 7th. When they get up there, seeding counts for nothing,

:14:56. > :15:07.it's who can produce the darts on the day.

:15:08. > :15:14.The Pink Panther reclining on the table. Looks as though he had a good

:15:15. > :15:21.night, doesn't he? LAUGHTER I hope he perks up a bit by this evening!

:15:22. > :15:38.He will not be the only 1 feeling a little like that!

:15:39. > :15:55.Ann-Louise throwing better on her own throw marker than she is when

:15:56. > :16:08.she is on the receiving end. Jones and 164. Peters is way back.

:16:09. > :16:20.There is a finish. The best 1 we have seen, Scott

:16:21. > :16:27.Mitchell, 161. Scott is in action later on. The

:16:28. > :16:42.defending champion. This, to hold throw for the 4th leg

:16:43. > :17:00.in a row... Treble 18... Peters, 180. Jones comes back with

:17:01. > :17:01.46. Peters can do is try to get a treble, put on some pressure. Good

:17:02. > :17:14.dart. Game, shot and the 4th leg, Zoe

:17:15. > :17:28.Jones. Very good indeed. That is a case of

:17:29. > :17:47.the barrel, but 140. The average is remaining much the

:17:48. > :17:55.same, Peters is slightly better, 76. The same checkout rate. 40%. Not a

:17:56. > :18:02.lot between them. This will be a close match. Yes, it always looked

:18:03. > :18:13.like that. It is the 5th 100. There is another tongue 40. -- another

:18:14. > :18:18.town. I am surprised to see that Jones is the shorter price. Cookies

:18:19. > :18:25.do not often get it wrong. Peters has knocked out the 2nd seed. Did I

:18:26. > :18:46.say the number 3 seed, that is detail headman, of course.

:18:47. > :19:06.She needs treble 19 4 bullseye... Just checking where she is sad.

:19:07. > :19:15.Can the Pink Panther pounds? Not likely with a dart like that... I do

:19:16. > :19:29.not think she heard what you Treble 17... Good dart. Excellent

:19:30. > :19:38.finishing. 82 checkout, she takes the 1st set.

:19:39. > :19:45.No respect of reputation, Ann-Louise Peters. She is 4 times the Danish

:19:46. > :19:55.champion. The current Swiss Open champion. A couple of runner-up

:19:56. > :19:59.spots throughout the 20 15th season. -- 2015. She is not at all

:20:00. > :20:01.spots throughout the 20 15th season. intimidated by being up there.

:20:02. > :20:11.spots throughout the 20 15th season. the lights, in front of the cameras.

:20:12. > :20:37.Peters average Jones is not far behind her.

:20:38. > :20:45.The 1st to get 2 sets wins this match. Leaders was able to conjure

:20:46. > :20:49.an early break. Jones would be under pressure.

:20:50. > :20:57.There is a chance. Peters has taken the darts. She needs a treble to

:20:58. > :21:03.make an impact. She gets the darts. She needs a treble to

:21:04. > :21:11.her last dart. That was a good 1. You heard it kissing of the barrel

:21:12. > :21:25.of the 1 that was in trouble 5. -- treble 5.

:21:26. > :21:37.Still in a good place, isn't she? It is not happening. A good dart,

:21:38. > :21:40.though. This, for the 1st break of the match. What a time to do it.

:21:41. > :21:50.No... You cannot get a lot closer without

:21:51. > :21:56.going in. Let's see what Zoe is made of.

:21:57. > :22:08.That little Elvis Presley likes me as she lands the dart. Com on, she

:22:09. > :22:16.says. It seems early in the match. That would have been 1- 0 set, with

:22:17. > :22:20.a break, throwing. She was very close. She has got to put it behind

:22:21. > :22:33.her. Unlucky. I think it made a little indentation

:22:34. > :22:55.as well, didn't it? They can hurt, darts! LAUGHTER I

:22:56. > :23:01.once very foolishly... Made an attempt to catch 1, having bounced

:23:02. > :23:05.out, not a good idea. Why on earth did you do that? I was trying to be

:23:06. > :23:11.clever, you know. The referee, I don't think he flinched when it

:23:12. > :23:19.bounced out. Maybe he has been in the business a lot longer than you?

:23:20. > :23:26.I just graduated! He works for the BBC down in Wales, in Cardiff. When

:23:27. > :23:27.he is not appear doing a splendid job refereeing and spotting for the

:23:28. > :23:48.broadcasters. Tops... Nothing in the way of pressure for

:23:49. > :23:54.Zoe Jones this time. Still nowhere near the finish. Tops... Peters.

:23:55. > :24:27.Come on! She is back on level terms. Good start. Peters at the moment, I

:24:28. > :24:32.just get the impression she is the 1 who is pressing harder for the

:24:33. > :24:39.break. And she is maybe looking the likelier winner. She will feel she

:24:40. > :24:45.did all the hard work to get a break, the 1st leg of the set,

:24:46. > :24:48.missing 3 at double 16. Another sizeable scalp if the visitor from

:24:49. > :25:03.Denmark could pull this off. Not quite Simply The Best if she can

:25:04. > :25:13.do this. Moving into elevated territory.

:25:14. > :25:24.Maybe the door is ajar? With a big visit... A treble would be handy.

:25:25. > :25:45.She was trying to get the 25 to set it up. It did not happen. Peters

:25:46. > :25:50.again with an opportunity. 100 would be handy.

:25:51. > :26:01.The scoring has just gone a little bit in this leg. It is the tension.

:26:02. > :26:11.It is a big leg. They know what. 194 plays 181. Ann-Louise Peters is

:26:12. > :26:18.being given every opportunity. She cannot capitalise. Nothing between

:26:19. > :26:24.them. It is a slow walk from both players towards the finishing line.

:26:25. > :26:35.The treble cannot we found for Zoe Jones. Let's see what Ann-Louise

:26:36. > :26:44.Peters can do. Good dart. CHEERING

:26:45. > :26:52.That is a big breakthrough. She is within touching distance of rectory.

:26:53. > :26:58.-- victory. It had been pretty ordinary up to that point and

:26:59. > :27:03.then... A brilliant finish. Magnificent, sparkling stuff from

:27:04. > :27:10.the Danish diamond. The highest of the women's competition so far this

:27:11. > :27:15.year, 140. Ann-Louise looks as though she is heading for a factory,

:27:16. > :27:21.she needs to hold her throw. We heard Ann-Louise in the interview

:27:22. > :27:26.with Rob Walker prior to the contest saying I want to enjoy it. She will

:27:27. > :27:32.enjoy the rest of today if the next couple of minutes go her way.

:27:33. > :27:43.She is 1 leg away from another semifinal. Having reached the last

:27:44. > :27:51.four 2 years ago. It would be either Lorraine Winstanley or Deta Hedman

:27:52. > :27:55.who play later on. It must eat a headman who knocked her out in the

:27:56. > :27:58.semifinal in 2014. She has a tussle on her hands against Lorraine

:27:59. > :28:07.Winstanley who is playing really well here this year.

:28:08. > :28:26.Anxious times. An opportunity with a big visit. Yes!

:28:27. > :28:33.Zoe Jones finding big numbers when she needs it. At the point of no

:28:34. > :28:36.return, she has 2 winners leg or it is all over. She will be 1st to

:28:37. > :28:46.finish. No! 21, for the match. She has just

:28:47. > :29:32.checked out 140. Treble 20... Game, shot and the 4th leg, Zoe

:29:33. > :29:38.Jones. She turns round and looks into the audience as if to say, was

:29:39. > :29:44.it ever in doubt? The 5th leg, Zoe Jones to throw 1st, game on! Zoe

:29:45. > :29:46.Jones has the darts and if she can hold her throw, it would be 1- 1

:29:47. > :29:58.sets. She battled back well, as she did

:29:59. > :30:03.against Tina Osborne in the 1st round. Not much between them in

:30:04. > :30:09.terms of the average or in terms of the checkout. 75 versus 73. The

:30:10. > :30:24.checkout rates are similar. Not bad on the checkouts, just the

:30:25. > :30:28.one 180. Although the stats show why this is a close match. Jones with

:30:29. > :30:42.the lead, the darts in her hand. She is now the favourite. Probably

:30:43. > :30:45.going to come down to nerves and doubles once more. It's an important

:30:46. > :31:04.treble. Hannah, Zoe's fiance watching on.

:31:05. > :31:14.Looking a little bit nervous. As well she might. No finish Rizzoli,

:31:15. > :31:24.187. She has a Christian between herself and Ann-Louise Peters.

:31:25. > :31:41.The pink Panther on 147. Take 15 off that. No pressure forthcoming. She

:31:42. > :31:47.has just lost it slightly at the key moment. Jones has six darts from

:31:48. > :31:56.here for 132. Great first dart. She needed a second for double 16. Sharp

:31:57. > :32:04.intake of breath, checks her she is at and is looking at 17 's. Jones

:32:05. > :32:08.handily placed, she will be back with 50

:32:09. > :32:18.handily placed, she will be back pressure applied. Good dart, double

:32:19. > :32:25.16. Small adjustment, just a little too much.

:32:26. > :32:33.Well, I was going to say this could be the match, it won't be. But it

:32:34. > :32:44.could be said. This would put it back on level terms. 88. Good

:32:45. > :32:59.marker. Too much, 44. Big dart -- double 4. That was some guts!

:33:00. > :33:04.Deciding set first leg, game on! What a big dart that

:33:05. > :33:10.Deciding set first leg, game on! land. 140! Good start from

:33:11. > :33:17.Ann-Louise Peters to the decider. The blonde haired lady rattlers when

:33:18. > :33:22.the dog went -- who was in raptures when her dart went in was her mum.

:33:23. > :33:37.Throws the darts to herself. Great leg so far, great first six

:33:38. > :33:43.from Ann-Louise Peters. The reclining pink Panther should be

:33:44. > :33:54.perking up a bit. This is good stuff from Peters. It has gone the other

:33:55. > :34:04.way! He has passed out and gone! It was exciting, but we have another

:34:05. > :34:20.set. Someone wake him up? ! Jones long way back. That is pretty poor.

:34:21. > :34:24.Level ton left. It's the 20s. There is the pink Panther! That is better.

:34:25. > :34:33.Someone fetched him a fizzy drink and we are back in business. Tops.

:34:34. > :34:45.By the width of a wire. Jones still cherishes hopes.

:34:46. > :35:03.Very unlucky. Double 15 to hold. Nip and tuck all the way. If it goes to

:35:04. > :35:13.two legs apiece we will have sudden death.

:35:14. > :35:23.Still a way to go yet, it would hardly be a major surprise, very

:35:24. > :35:27.well matched these two. Yes. Jones the seventh seed, but nothing in it.

:35:28. > :35:40.That was not a good visit. And we is not really capitalising on

:35:41. > :35:53.the opportunity to put some pressure on.

:35:54. > :36:04.Ann-Louise Peters a break from the game, she had six or seven years out

:36:05. > :36:22.for turning in 2013. Nice to see her back.

:36:23. > :36:48.We were this is going, just one big score could be crucial. One ton 80

:36:49. > :36:55.from either. Not finding the treble. Where has it gone? Frustration. That

:36:56. > :37:03.is Zoe's brother. Lurking in the shadows. Rubbing his hands anxiously

:37:04. > :37:27.nicely turned out. Likes a tie. Rights, this toehold throw -- to

:37:28. > :37:40.hold the throw. Good... . -- good dart. 100! 160 can be done. Still

:37:41. > :37:43.can. There it is, 160! What a checkout at the World Championships,

:37:44. > :37:49.had the best checkout in the women's tournament this year. She is ahead

:37:50. > :37:56.2-0. Only needs one more with the throw as she goes into the semis.

:37:57. > :38:08.Stunning from the Danish diamond. Can she hold her nerve for another

:38:09. > :38:11.big Lakeside win? There is your answer immediately. Doesn't often

:38:12. > :38:15.happen when you have the huge check out like that, the adrenaline is

:38:16. > :38:19.going at the concentration of being so high and then the return and it

:38:20. > :38:24.is not quite the same. Zoe, straightaway puts herself clear in

:38:25. > :38:32.this set as Peters is throwing for the match. Highest ever ladies

:38:33. > :38:34.checkout, I'm being told, by some wizards behind the scene.

:38:35. > :38:44.Congratulations to Ann-Louise Peters. Had this darts. Really was.

:38:45. > :38:57.-- fabulous. But the job is not done. Big visit there and she will

:38:58. > :39:02.believe. She is closing in. Beta Fallon Sherrock, the second seed.

:39:03. > :39:06.Can she account for the number seventh seed, Zoe Jones? She has a

:39:07. > :39:14.great chance, still has the advantage on the throw. It is not

:39:15. > :39:30.great, but 60 keeps her well clear, a ton on. Here we go. Here we go!

:39:31. > :39:44.180! Boy, did she need that! What a response from Peters. There is too

:39:45. > :39:53.in, 140. Well, this might have to go out. It will not do. Peters with 74

:39:54. > :39:59.for a semifinal place. Here she goes. Stays herself, composes

:40:00. > :40:09.herself, takes her time. 20 would leave tops. Tops for the match.

:40:10. > :40:13.Build it. Jones held her nerve when she had to break to stay in the

:40:14. > :40:19.match in the previous set. Now double tend to do it again. This has

:40:20. > :40:28.to be in. Isn't. Is that it? There was the agony. Do we now see the

:40:29. > :40:37.ecstasy? Double 10 from Peters. That is a loose one. 77. Good dart. She

:40:38. > :40:41.has done it again. First Fallon Sherrock, no Zoe Jones and

:40:42. > :40:46.Ann-Louise Peters from Denmark has reduced a tremendous performance,

:40:47. > :40:50.the best ever checkout were seen in the women's World Championship, the

:40:51. > :40:59.160 and eventually coming home wreathed in smiles as a winner

:41:00. > :41:06.against Zoe Jones by 2-1. Ladies and gentlemen come up laws for both

:41:07. > :41:10.players. England's Zoe Jones! And through to another Lakeside World

:41:11. > :41:18.Championship semifinal, the Danish diamond, Ann-Louise Peters!

:41:19. > :41:37.MUSIC PLAYS As she walked out to simply the

:41:38. > :41:45.best, she left us with steamy windows here at the Lakeside. The

:41:46. > :41:47.sky is not the top of it. Tina Turner lover, she is a darting head

:41:48. > :42:05.turner. Cannot even say your name right,

:42:06. > :42:12.I've known you for 20 years and I'm so excited I got your name wrong.

:42:13. > :42:15.That is how excited I was. You want excitement and passion and

:42:16. > :42:20.characters? And personality? I give you women's darts at the moment.

:42:21. > :42:27.Brilliant. When she chased at 140I thought, great, what a lovely short

:42:28. > :42:30.out, then she does a 164 is even better. They were both having a go

:42:31. > :42:35.at each other, but is Peters, the better. They were both having a go

:42:36. > :42:39.relentless. She was in the treble better. They were both having a go

:42:40. > :42:40.20, the finishing was stronger and she did exactly the same as she did

:42:41. > :42:45.previously. she did exactly the same as she did

:42:46. > :42:48.more in the scoring to progress and win because just a

:42:49. > :42:53.more in the scoring to progress and the scoring and hitting the doubles,

:42:54. > :43:01.you would not put it past because years drawn every time she's on the

:43:02. > :43:05.you would not put it past because would leave a shot, but I wasn't

:43:06. > :43:10.expecting the 164 topic was great. Of all this year, she is the one

:43:11. > :43:13.that has caught the attention of the crew and the staff. We really want

:43:14. > :43:19.to here. Because we don't know what she's going to do next! She's

:43:20. > :43:24.brilliant. It would frizz away Jones, I think we've got to remember

:43:25. > :43:27.in her early 20s, is coming on leaps and bounds every time she turns up

:43:28. > :43:33.that I love some arrogance from her as well. She has a little bit of

:43:34. > :43:41.that. She had the 44 to get back and she gave it plenty. -- she had the

:43:42. > :43:47.double 4. She will give it the Tina Turner on the way end. Hello! We are

:43:48. > :43:52.hitting the dance floor. That is all I know. I'll most feel like I should

:43:53. > :43:57.do a top three countdown. Let's start at number three in terms of

:43:58. > :44:00.your checkouts. Let's look at and 82 to win a set. This required bottle.

:44:01. > :44:07.This was already a beautiful moment. to win a set. This required bottle.

:44:08. > :44:09.Under pressure, you cannot miss this commie got deleted or you will lose

:44:10. > :44:13.the first set, that was fantastic. commie got deleted or you will lose

:44:14. > :44:15.Then you thought, OK, I have not entertained

:44:16. > :44:20.Then you thought, OK, I have not will give you a 140. How did that

:44:21. > :44:23.feel? You know the feeling, Bobby foot up it is great. You are under

:44:24. > :44:28.pressure and want to do your foot up it is great. You are under

:44:29. > :44:35.and I feel good today and I was fine. Why not? To paraphrase Tina

:44:36. > :44:38.Turner, each time you throw dots, I keep losing control to stop my heart

:44:39. > :44:42.and my soul. This keep losing control to stop my heart

:44:43. > :44:50.checkout in the history of women's darts at the Lakeside? It is? Yet!

:44:51. > :44:54.Come on Denmark! It feels great. It does. Under pressure and you just

:44:55. > :45:01.want to win the game. I think before the game I met Zoe twice and I lost

:45:02. > :45:08.to once and I won the other one. 50-50, and I think, great. Everyone

:45:09. > :45:14.has been so nice to me and I just want to win, you know? It was a

:45:15. > :45:18.different game. We said before you post an update as an underdog in the

:45:19. > :45:21.last 16, this quarterfinal the book is said you were favourite. It was a

:45:22. > :45:27.different type of pressure. Did it feel different? To play the same

:45:28. > :45:30.game? I'm just shutting down and played the darts and I think I play

:45:31. > :45:39.a good game against Fallon, I took the chances and doubles here, I play

:45:40. > :45:47.a good darts and that is huge for me, you know? I can play the darts,

:45:48. > :45:51.that's why I'm here. And now it is a great feeling and I am so proud. We

:45:52. > :45:56.love every set of it, for the checkout. The final darts sees you

:45:57. > :46:03.in the last four of the woman boss might average of 2016. When it was

:46:04. > :46:10.six, the whole place went up. So much emotion. You know the feeling.

:46:11. > :46:16.It is lovely because you have the pressure. It is a great feeling.

:46:17. > :46:23.Yes. The 77 was lovely -- the double 7. That was to win the match. You

:46:24. > :46:29.know? Story is a great player and a great person, I love her and one

:46:30. > :46:35.day, she is still young, she could get far, like Fallon, Fallon one day

:46:36. > :46:40.we'll win it. Maybe one day soon you will win it. He said after the last

:46:41. > :46:44.16 match, all of a sudden newspapers from back home were calling you. You

:46:45. > :46:50.are a history maker, so your phone better have a full charge. It is

:46:51. > :46:54.great. The posting I'm proud of this maximalist thing I'm proud of is

:46:55. > :46:58.darts is not the same in Denmark, but now they have someone to have

:46:59. > :47:04.made it. Maybe it will bring it up in the media and I am proud to be

:47:05. > :47:08.the one who does that. I love that. It is Fallon Sherrock and Lorraine

:47:09. > :47:15.Winstanley in the semis. Either way, it will be brilliant. Thank you for

:47:16. > :47:18.entertaining as this afternoon. And Lisa Ashton against Trina Gulliver

:47:19. > :47:22.'s .com. Nine time champion against the woman who's going for three in a

:47:23. > :47:27.row. They will have to beat her at some stage to win the title again.

:47:28. > :47:32.Let's look at the men's tour as it stands just now as we move towards

:47:33. > :47:36.our next game. Well done. Larry Butler, Glenn Durant, yesterday,

:47:37. > :47:43.Gerrard was absolutely the drastic. Clinical. Needed every set to get

:47:44. > :47:46.through. He is digging in and winning games. Jamie wasn't happy

:47:47. > :47:53.with his performance but he is through as well. We told you

:47:54. > :47:58.yesterday in the afternoon and evening, 92 or 93 average, he would

:47:59. > :48:02.have a 40% checkout, didn't he have that? Unbelievable stuff. More games

:48:03. > :48:09.to come to finish this, three more to come. The first one on that stage

:48:10. > :48:12.this afternoon is the reigning champion, Scottie dog Mitchell

:48:13. > :48:16.taking on Martin McGuinness, who has been at the Lakeside for the first

:48:17. > :48:25.time, big underdog, but some fancy his chances. -- Martin McGuinness --

:48:26. > :48:32.Mark McGeeney. The big man is not wanted. My name is Gladiator. Darts

:48:33. > :48:40.player from Stockport. England team player. Servants to the one true

:48:41. > :48:45.Emperor, Scott Mitchell. And I will have my vengeance, in this life for

:48:46. > :48:52.the next. He is a big softy, isn't he? I'll restart when you get up to

:48:53. > :48:59.the stage on the dartboard, everyone is watching to gladiator go at it,

:49:00. > :49:03.so I thought, gladiator. I have now finally done it, to play on the

:49:04. > :49:07.stage which anyone who is anyone in darts has ever played on, row,

:49:08. > :49:13.little old me on Lakeside. Scott Mitchell is the England captain and

:49:14. > :49:16.my pairs partner. He is a fantastic world champion. If I was not playing

:49:17. > :49:20.him I would support him. Mark McGeeney does not seem to be fazed

:49:21. > :49:26.by anything darts throws at him. He sees the game differently when he is

:49:27. > :49:29.playing come he manages to get to hate whoever he is playing. I want

:49:30. > :49:35.to hate his guts when I'm up there. I will not like him. You have no

:49:36. > :49:39.friends up there. He is who he is and he plays the way he plays, and

:49:40. > :49:44.that's why he is here, because he is so good at doing that. You think, I

:49:45. > :49:47.want to win it once, just once and you feel your life would be

:49:48. > :49:53.complete. Anyway once commented think, another one would not hurt.

:49:54. > :49:57.It will be one for the ages. If he brings his a game and I bring my, it

:49:58. > :50:01.will be one of the best games ever seen on that stage. I hope to go toe

:50:02. > :50:07.to toe with him. He will not shy away in any way, shape or form. Big

:50:08. > :50:15.scores, big finishes, tonight we will go for it. Are you not

:50:16. > :50:18.entertained? We were in the first game. Maybe we weren't sure we would

:50:19. > :50:22.be full stop Scott Mitchell had a really busy year as world champion,

:50:23. > :50:26.getting invited to everything and doing lots of exhibitions but

:50:27. > :50:31.through 93 or 94 average in the first round, looks really good, on

:50:32. > :50:34.paper he would go Scott every day of the week but we sort glances of

:50:35. > :50:38.March beginning the first round that made us think there could be

:50:39. > :50:45.something else today? He is a very good player. He likes Scott Mitchell

:50:46. > :50:51.buttercup like him now. He's got to forget it and beat him up if he can

:50:52. > :50:59.and if he gets his head on, then he will beat him up. But Scott, 95

:51:00. > :51:04.average, 93, he has to raise his game first appease got, to the 90s

:51:05. > :51:08.to beat him and he's got to finish the game is quick. He has done

:51:09. > :51:14.before. He only has to do it on this stage. It is different doing it and

:51:15. > :51:19.saying it. He says I am the Gladiator, he probably is but he's

:56:42. > :56:43.McGeeney threatening a match for the games. It could be a cracker, not a

:56:47. > :56:50.to dig deep with a 1614 finish he beat Craig Caldwell, the TV. Had

:56:51. > :57:03.the way to victory, the best of the men's competition so far. McGeeney

:57:04. > :57:13.to end, fill them up. Yes! 180! I hope he is right. I hope we are in

:57:14. > :57:16.for a belter. McGeeney I bridged -- averaged just south of 85 in his

:57:17. > :57:23.first-round victory over Peter Suwannee of Sweden. Scott in that

:57:24. > :57:37.3-2 victory against Caldwell. Here we go again. 180! He is hot, too

:57:38. > :57:51.already. Poised for an 11 daughter, McGeeney, what a start and what a

:57:52. > :58:00.response. -- 11 darter. Double 16. Double 8. Yes! How about that 12

:58:01. > :58:19.darter, first leg of the match. Lays down the standard. What a start! It

:58:20. > :58:26.is a long, long route, first to four sets takes this men's match. Plenty

:58:27. > :58:35.of twists and turns along the way, but it is certainly started very

:58:36. > :58:43.warmly. Admit it has. I was halfway to telling you how far Scott was in

:58:44. > :58:48.his first-round match, but McGeeney had other ideas. For the record, it

:58:49. > :58:54.was an impressive 93 and he hit 60% of his checkouts. That is over five

:58:55. > :59:00.sets. McGeeney peppering the treble 20. The winner of this one in the

:59:01. > :59:04.quarterfinals will play either Martin Atkins or Richard venture.

:59:05. > :59:15.That match taking place this evening. -- Richard Veenstra. There

:59:16. > :59:33.he is, been struck himself with his haircut. -- Veenstra. At these BDO

:59:34. > :59:37.events, as at the PDC events, a great spirit of camaraderie between

:59:38. > :59:41.the players. It is one of the most appealing things about covering

:59:42. > :59:45.darts, commentating on darts, there is not many wrong ones, they are

:59:46. > :59:52.good lads. Yes, and these two are good friends. Lots of mutual

:59:53. > :00:01.respect. As you say, England team-mates. Both in their mid-40s.

:00:02. > :00:11.Actually, they are both playing the darts of their life.

:00:12. > :00:22.Scott Mitchell took the ?100,000 last year and bought a new tractor

:00:23. > :00:31.for his father for the farm. He forgot about the VAT and had to

:00:32. > :00:37.trade in 1 or 2 things. Bullseye! He has certainly brought his best game.

:00:38. > :00:50.They are by the children of Scott Mitchell, very pensively.

:00:51. > :00:58.Another leg for the opening set. Mark McGeeney managed a 122

:00:59. > :01:17.checkout, his highest of the tournament so far.

:01:18. > :01:27.Terrific darts, once more. He has had a couple of maximums, now 140,

:01:28. > :01:33.flying in this opening set. Mitchell is trying to hang on for scraps. Has

:01:34. > :01:40.not yet had a dart at a double, Scott Mitchell. As and really played

:01:41. > :01:43.badly. No, he is throwing OK it is just McGeeney has come out throwing

:01:44. > :01:51.superbly. That is about his 1st loose dart. Remember, here is a man,

:01:52. > :02:03.the 11th seed, making his debut here this year.

:02:04. > :02:11.Scott Mitchell is a big Bournemouth fan. Enjoying the lovely atmosphere

:02:12. > :02:20.on the south coast. With the great Premiership adventure. Some good

:02:21. > :02:28.results. Good dart. He is on a finish, 161.

:02:29. > :02:44.Hoping that market can close this out. He is not going to do at this

:02:45. > :02:52.time. Vegetable has a very makeable 101. -- Mitchell.

:02:53. > :03:07.Treble 19 Leeds double 12. That has just strayed into the 7. Treble for

:03:08. > :03:17.team? This time McGeeney needs 79. Mitchell placed and 60. A stunning

:03:18. > :03:35.130 checkout, bullseye, last time around. That is loose.

:03:36. > :03:38.These will be his 1st darts at a double, Scott Mitchell. Taking his

:03:39. > :03:59.time. Some flights trouble, I think. McGeeney, double 19. Will he go

:04:00. > :04:13.straight out of? He decides to do that. He takes it.

:04:14. > :04:18.The opening set. The average just dropping slightly in the closing

:04:19. > :04:27.stages. For much of it, he was way over 100, as high as 109 at 1 stage,

:04:28. > :04:33.averaging now around 95. A checkout rate, 3 out of 5. Scott Mitchell not

:04:34. > :04:37.really getting into it. McGeeney scoring heavier, reflected by the

:04:38. > :04:41.fact that he has taken the opening set. The 1st 1 to reach four. Here

:04:42. > :04:55.he goes again. Came out and threw a 12 dart leg. In

:04:56. > :05:04.the very next leg he checked out 130, with a bullseye. Wrapped it up

:05:05. > :05:08.with a double 16. And Scott Mitchell... He has had to darts at a

:05:09. > :05:15.double and the way McGeeney is playing, he cannot afford to miss

:05:16. > :05:23.any more. Scott Mitchell is a motor bike man. In the process of

:05:24. > :05:27.renovating some fabulous 1980s kit, it touches around 200 miles an hour,

:05:28. > :05:34.not, of course, he would ever drive it like that. He loves his speedway.

:05:35. > :05:36.He is a big friend of Nigel Pearson, the speedway commentator and

:05:37. > :05:48.sometimes darts commentator. Completely forgot about the VAT on

:05:49. > :05:55.the tractor he bought for his father. The dealer said, you have

:05:56. > :06:01.got to give it to us, he said, it is a bit difficult, I gave you all the

:06:02. > :06:06.money, so they help themselves to 2 or 3 things lying around the

:06:07. > :06:13.farmyard and that was the end of the story! It is a great story, isn't

:06:14. > :06:18.it? He has got 100 grand. None of us like VAT but unfortunately, 1 of the

:06:19. > :06:26.realities of life! A good shot. Tops...

:06:27. > :06:47.It still does not leave a 3 dart outshot, no real pressure on the

:06:48. > :07:02.double 10. Finally... Scottie dog is on the

:07:03. > :07:07.board! He will not be blasted away, too much experience, too much of a

:07:08. > :07:11.big occasion performer. Maybe lacks a little bit of competitive

:07:12. > :07:13.sharpness because of the sheer volume of exhibition matches he has

:07:14. > :07:21.done around the country, various public experiences, various public

:07:22. > :07:25.appearances. Fair to say he has enjoyed his 12 month as world

:07:26. > :07:30.champion. He said to me, it was never about money with me. It is

:07:31. > :07:36.just about competing and throwing darts for the love of it. The taxman

:07:37. > :07:45.and the VAT man will want to know a little bit about it! Sadly, some may

:07:46. > :07:50.say! Lost is his 1st round on the 1st 3 appearances at Lakeside.

:07:51. > :07:56.Everybody knows what a great player he was and everybody would say, he

:07:57. > :08:08.produce his best game on the Lakeside stage, the

:08:09. > :08:13.all of a sudden, credit to a hypnotherapist, he came back last

:08:14. > :08:18.year and actually, literally, he was invincible. His hypnotherapist has

:08:19. > :08:22.year and actually, literally, he was had a few well chosen words of

:08:23. > :08:28.advice from Bobby George. Telling him to slow down, take your time,

:08:29. > :08:31.especially in the semifinal against Jeff Smith when the sharpshooting

:08:32. > :08:42.Canadian was just blown away by Scott. 6- 0. Smith is 1 of the big

:08:43. > :08:49.bets here. 25- 1 to win the title, act all the way into 7- 2, that

:08:50. > :08:58.takes big money. -- backed all the way.

:08:59. > :09:22.Dragging it below the mark. To move 2- 0 legs and head in the 2nd set.

:09:23. > :09:24.Would have left double 18 if he had had the treble 20. To level the

:09:25. > :09:35.set... Game, shot and the 2nd leg, Mark

:09:36. > :09:52.McGeeney. McGeeney takes the 1st set by 3- 0

:09:53. > :09:59.legs. These to play together in the World Cup pairs, finishing

:10:00. > :10:03.runners-up to the Dutch pairing. 1 of the Dutch team is Richard

:10:04. > :10:08.Veenstra, he is in the audience this afternoon. 180!

:10:09. > :10:12.CHEERING And he finds it. He is getting the

:10:13. > :10:26.Lakeside rocking again. 9 next to his name means that he is

:10:27. > :10:39.still technically, on for the perfect 9 dart leg, which he still

:10:40. > :10:44.is. And the 9 disappear is! He missed double 12 for a 9-darter in

:10:45. > :10:49.the world trophy back in February. We haven't had 1 in the World

:10:50. > :10:54.Championship since 1990. Martin Adams came within a whisker of

:10:55. > :10:59.changing that. 8 out of 9. Was at the final semifinal? Attended was

:11:00. > :11:11.the semifinal. That fantastic win against Glen Durrant. 1 of the great

:11:12. > :11:17.games in BDO darting history. Averaging a tiny bit short of 100,

:11:18. > :11:23.and still losing. A great game. That wasn't too shabby either, was it?

:11:24. > :11:33.A boy stay out, fancy dress day out for some. Some, a family occasion.

:11:34. > :11:42.McGeeney looking for another big checkout... 136... There it is.

:11:43. > :11:48.Finishing in a spectacular way. All Scott Mitchell can do is admire.

:11:49. > :11:54.I don't know if you saw in the corner of the shop, there was a

:11:55. > :12:00.little smattering of applause from Scott Mitchell to Mark McGeeney

:12:01. > :12:06.after that 136. Only a set and a half into this match, McGeeney

:12:07. > :12:10.taking out 130, 136 and he has had a 12 dart leg.

:12:11. > :12:23.If he wins this, he is 2- 0 ahead. Remember, it is the 1st to four. A

:12:24. > :12:37.tonne plus check out already. He has had 3 scores of 180 to add to that.

:12:38. > :12:43.Mitchell, yet to get off the mark. The late Lenny is in the building. A

:12:44. > :12:50.heavy metal hero who passed away not too long back. In December, late

:12:51. > :12:54.December, I think it was. Mervyn King, the man who walks into the

:12:55. > :13:08.motorhead anthem. -- Lemmy. Scott Mitchell needs a big score.

:13:09. > :13:16.And he finds 1. 180 exploration Mark CHEERING

:13:17. > :13:21.--!. He is in a good place now. The

:13:22. > :13:25.McGeeney throw under pressure. Badly needs this to go in.

:13:26. > :13:46.Surprised he did not go for 19 with his last dart. There he is, 169. A

:13:47. > :13:56.bogey number. Mitchell sitting pretty.

:13:57. > :14:03.McGeeney, you suspect, is going to lose this leg. Game, shot and the

:14:04. > :14:13.4th leg... Only takes a few seconds and a darts

:14:14. > :14:29.match counselling. -- can swing. No messing about. He sought Mark

:14:30. > :14:37.McGeeney clench his fist with his 3rd dart, the final dart. He

:14:38. > :14:42.clenched his fist and he thought right, I have pressured, not a bit

:14:43. > :14:48.of it. Mitchell fired his dart into the centre of the bed and here we

:14:49. > :14:58.are. Into a deciding leg. It is a big leg, already. A long way back

:14:59. > :14:59.from 2- 0 in a race to four. 1- 1, you feel the momentum is with

:15:00. > :15:11.Mitchell. A big call. A long way to go. It

:15:12. > :15:19.might be 1 of those matches which goes all the way, this 1. Very, well

:15:20. > :15:23.matched, Scott Mitchell and Mark McGeeney. Mark McGeeney not terribly

:15:24. > :15:26.well known to the wider darting public, this is his Lakeside debut

:15:27. > :15:41.but he can throw and people within the sport know it.

:15:42. > :15:50.He won the British Open last year. Mark McGeeney beat Scott Waites in

:15:51. > :15:54.the final. Also reached the semifinals in the world trophy and

:15:55. > :15:59.the Isle of Man and Sweden. Gets around a bit. You have to, on this

:16:00. > :16:12.tour, picking up ranking points. McGeeney making his debut as 1 of

:16:13. > :16:13.the seeds and Mitchell has a checkout opportunity, a good 1st

:16:14. > :16:35.dart. All he can do is put some pressure

:16:36. > :16:40.on and Mitchell will come back with 56 to win the leg and square the

:16:41. > :16:50.match. Let's see if he can do it. This is a moment.

:16:51. > :16:56.Game, shot and the 2nd set, Scott Mitchell. Mark to throw 1st, game

:16:57. > :17:06.on. Scott Mitchell hip the doubles when

:17:07. > :17:14.he needed to. Mitchell was on fire in that opening set. Mitchell able

:17:15. > :17:21.to pounce. Decent averages. Not world shattering. Mitchell is on

:17:22. > :17:25.level terms. Really interesting match. McGeeney with the advantage

:17:26. > :17:26.on the checkout. A little bit of momentum in the game of Scott

:17:27. > :17:47.Mitchell. Here we go again. 180! During macro

:17:48. > :17:52.his 4th of the match. Scott Mitchell has had 1 too. -- CHEERING

:17:53. > :18:00.. On the throw. Mitchell would be

:18:01. > :18:05.anticipating that he might be struggling to try and chip away to

:18:06. > :18:11.get a break. At 180 from McGeeney really helping him. He has just

:18:12. > :18:26.regrouped. Starting to hit some significant scores. Only taken a

:18:27. > :18:29.moment to regroup. Since then, a maximum and 137, and here comes 129.

:18:30. > :18:49.For another 12 dart leg... The treble 18, left it on 36. 1 of

:18:50. > :18:52.his favourite doubles. Mitchell, no checkout, all he can do is try and

:18:53. > :19:01.get as many as possible and put pressure on.

:19:02. > :19:18.There it is. The 2nd leg, Scott Mitchell to throw 1st. 5 legs since

:19:19. > :19:21.we saw a dart missed out a double. Good quality match. So little

:19:22. > :19:37.between them. McGeeney with the Gladiator

:19:38. > :19:43.nickname. He is playing like 1, isn't he? He is a gentle sort of

:19:44. > :19:45.soul away from the ochie but he is certainly playing with plenty of

:19:46. > :20:01.fire and commitment. Scott Mitchell just said, talking to

:20:02. > :20:08.himself, if you stay straight, you have half a chance. He is always

:20:09. > :20:12.talking to himself. He is parading himself. I am not sure if you are

:20:13. > :20:25.taking this up at home. It is good value. Some people do that, engaging

:20:26. > :20:33.conversation. He is only straight out of the 20, once in this leg. It

:20:34. > :20:39.is not exactly a bag of nails, he is throwing pretty well and he is

:20:40. > :20:47.ahead. Good. That is unlucky. A wry smile.

:20:48. > :21:00.There is his son. Sam, hoping that dad brings home a victory but

:21:01. > :21:05.McGeeney has other ideas. 180 CHEERING

:21:06. > :21:16.That is his 5th. Treble 19. He has missed that

:21:17. > :21:28.treble. McGeeney, 66. A big breakthrough if he can do this.

:21:29. > :21:39.The wrong side of the wire. Under all sorts of pressure.

:21:40. > :21:47.He holds it together. Smooth double top. Leaving McGeeney to rue that

:21:48. > :22:03.missed opportunity on the double 18. He has hit his last four doubles,

:22:04. > :22:07.Scott Mitchell and that takes bottle, especially when you have

:22:08. > :22:14.someone on the other side of the ochie throwing a tonne 80 for fun,

:22:15. > :22:18.like Mark McGeeney is. 6 of them in the match so far. We are only in the

:22:19. > :22:27.3rd set. 1- 1. Could it be another? Wasn't exactly a shabby attempt. It

:22:28. > :22:42.looked as though it was on its way. Again, a bit of a muttered to

:22:43. > :22:55.himself. You always have to be a little bit

:22:56. > :23:03.careful with that, with the microphone to the side of the board.

:23:04. > :23:05.Before the watershed! I think that is for us to worry about, really,

:23:06. > :23:18.not them! 161, it can be done... So... Double 12 to hold his throat

:23:19. > :23:58.and move ahead in the match. It is finishing off the highest

:23:59. > :24:00.order. Both of them. 7 out of 12 for Mark McGeeney, four out of it, Scott

:24:01. > :24:29.Mitchell. Somebody sneezed in the crowd. Do

:24:30. > :24:33.you know what? It was not in the crowd, it was very loud for us

:24:34. > :24:38.because we have headphones. It was 1 of the production team. It was right

:24:39. > :24:46.at the moment he was throwing the dart, it is good he was in our

:24:47. > :24:51.production truck and not out there. I have got a fairly good sneeze on

:24:52. > :25:03.me. The top of the old Barnett can be blown off! I nearly give some

:25:04. > :25:07.poor girl a heart attack when I had a sneeze in the Lakeside here

:25:08. > :25:13.yesterday. She almost did not know for that was! I do not know whether

:25:14. > :25:19.I want you to do 1 into the microphone. It is usually allergies,

:25:20. > :25:27.it is not cause I have a cold or anything. I cannot do it to order.

:25:28. > :25:30.The air conditioning does the trick. Hundred and 21, to go back on level

:25:31. > :25:40.terms. Treble 17... This is for the set... Mark

:25:41. > :25:46.McGeeney... No, Mitchell will be back with a

:25:47. > :26:16.masthead double 12. -- a must hit. And he knows that could be very

:26:17. > :26:24.costly. If he hits this double 18, there will be a short break. And he

:26:25. > :26:31.doesn't. He leads, Scott Mitchell is in another battle. Mark McGeeney

:26:32. > :26:39.leads the defending champion 2- 1. -- and he dials it.

:26:40. > :26:47.I thought it might be close. I hoped it would be. Bobby George knew it

:26:48. > :26:52.would be close. That is the Dazzler for you. Every year there is 1 name

:26:53. > :27:00.that you say and every year there is 1 name that I don't. Every year you

:27:01. > :27:06.give me a name and every year you are right. This year it was Mark

:27:07. > :27:11.McGeeney. We saw some glimpses. We saw more than that, right from the

:27:12. > :27:14.1st set. He is playing 96, his average. He is scoring well.

:27:15. > :27:32.Finishing well. A confident sort of bloke. He is

:27:33. > :27:39.quiet. Absolutely. We were playing last night. I think I would have

:27:40. > :27:46.needed to go for 101 to stand a chance. He is right, the quiet man

:27:47. > :27:50.backstage, gets on with it. I have been feeding through the averages

:27:51. > :27:58.every set, I think he won the 3rd set with an average of 107.3. He is

:27:59. > :28:03.proving that he is more than just a small patch, he is world class. He

:28:04. > :28:08.can do it. I have watched him before so I know what. It is doing it up

:28:09. > :28:15.there. He has played Scott Mitchell, his friend. It does not come into it

:28:16. > :28:20.when you go out there. All he has to do is play the game like he doesn't

:28:21. > :28:26.normally, like he is now and he will beat Scott Mitchell. If he does not,

:28:27. > :28:33.Scott Mitchell will beat him. This 1 is going all the way, you know what

:28:34. > :28:38.and I know what. He is checking out at about 36%, he will hang in there,

:28:39. > :28:45.if not get better. If McGeeney hits 107 average and keeps checking out

:28:46. > :28:49.at 62 or 63%, that will be the stuff of dreams so I see him tightening

:28:50. > :28:55.up. It will be a humdinger this afternoon. I hope it is tied, we

:28:56. > :29:04.want a good game and we needed. Some of the diets have not been on par.

:29:05. > :29:09.Some of the men's gains have not up there, for sure. But a fantastic

:29:10. > :29:15.afternoon yesterday. Smith has been great and these 2 men, going

:29:16. > :29:27.head-to-head. We mustn't forget... Scott Waites? Sorry! Absolutely.

:29:28. > :29:34.Look at the way the draw is shaping up. The winner of this as well...

:29:35. > :29:39.Sneaky feeling they might be eyeing up this Sunday coming. It has to be

:29:40. > :29:45.said. The other side of the draw, Glen Durrant... Scott Waites and

:29:46. > :29:57.you'd be false... A little bit more busy. Mark McGeeney has just got to

:29:58. > :30:03.remain calm. Just play the game. Just play. If it was about not

:30:04. > :30:10.thinking, I would be a world in. Let's rejoin the commentary team and

:30:11. > :30:14.we will see at all the way through. COMMENTATOR: the crowds are loving

:30:15. > :30:22.it and we are loving it. It is warm up there. Scott Mitchell towelling

:30:23. > :30:27.down. He has got it all to do. He is just being outscored a little by

:30:28. > :30:33.Mark McGeeney. You heard the boys talking about the average. Mark

:30:34. > :30:39.McGeeney averaging 96, good darts. He has had 5 scores of 180, 60 2%

:30:40. > :30:41.check out. Keep that going and it would trouble an awful lot of

:30:42. > :30:47.players, Here we go. Who will it be? McGeeney

:30:48. > :31:06.or Mitchell? Can McGeeney keep up the

:31:07. > :31:07.extraordinary standard of darts he was showing us for the first three

:31:08. > :31:26.sets? Mitchell knows he must find

:31:27. > :31:28.something close to his a game, if not his a game, if he will beat a

:31:29. > :31:34.man who is not his a game, if he will beat a

:31:35. > :31:41.Went off the boil in the second set, that was when Mitchell struck back.

:31:42. > :31:49.He has looked mighty impressive. The checkouts are outstanding.

:31:50. > :32:02.McGeeney's particularly. 62%, eight out of 13.

:32:03. > :32:10.You know what? Crucially, the ones he has missed have not mattered.

:32:11. > :32:13.When he has a three darts in his hand he will occasionally take two

:32:14. > :32:17.or three to get the double, but he has only watched -- lost one leg

:32:18. > :32:22.or three to get the double, but he which he has missed a double.

:32:23. > :32:31.Mitchell could do with another. And delivers his second. That is a big

:32:32. > :32:43.shot when he is trying to alter his true. Treble 18 for the bull's-eye.

:32:44. > :32:53.-- when he is trying to haul his throat. 78, Mitchell wanted.

:32:54. > :33:01.Starting with the 18. Now 24 tops. -- now 20 four tops. That is a

:33:02. > :33:04.champion's resolve, a pint of the air, you knew that was key and he

:33:05. > :33:18.had been broken in the opening throw. What a big 180. What a big

:33:19. > :33:23.match this is turning into. Yes! Good as a max. Absolutely. Already

:33:24. > :33:29.had five maximums and three perfect darts to start this leg, again from

:33:30. > :33:34.Mark McGeeney, the nine has appeared but I had better not mention it.

:33:35. > :33:45.Let's see if he can get another 180 0177. -- 180 or 177. Nice cover

:33:46. > :33:47.shot. Mitchell just starting to lick his lips and since an opportunity.

:33:48. > :34:13.Now he has to try and stay in touch. Mighty warm in the Lakeside today,

:34:14. > :34:19.and it will be hot on the state. -- on the stage. Thirsty work for the

:34:20. > :34:24.crowd. The bishops in at the back behind the throwing arm again.

:34:25. > :34:36.There he is. We should call him the darts bishop. He has not got the

:34:37. > :34:42.full regalia on today. As opposed to the arts picture

:34:43. > :34:57.Archbishop? Michu can take this, 21, this would be a break of throw.

:34:58. > :35:04.Bull's-eye. CROWD GROANS

:35:05. > :35:11.. Told his throw, McGeeney will start with a treble 20. And now have

:35:12. > :35:19.to act double numeric date. And needs just one of them. Scott knows

:35:20. > :35:22.that was a chance. He laughed he pulled his darts out of the board

:35:23. > :35:29.that he could not get the double that would have got him the break.

:35:30. > :35:50.He is throwing now. Mitchell's average up over 95. McGeeney, 97.5.

:35:51. > :36:27.Mitchell with the darts in this set, it all works out according to that.

:36:28. > :36:37.It could be the levels the match at two apiece.

:36:38. > :36:50.The thing is, with darts, if you keep missing doubles to get into bad

:36:51. > :36:56.habits. At the moment, neither of them are missing the doubles,

:36:57. > :37:04.really. Good work from Scott. 76, good lead. Looking favourite to hold

:37:05. > :37:15.his throw and go ahead in this set once again. Eight set he needs to

:37:16. > :37:32.win. 76. He has six darts from here if he wants. Yes, very nicely done.

:37:33. > :37:42.15 darter. The crowd revelling in a good quality match.

:37:43. > :38:05.Justin Pipe, professional, he is among those watching on. Good

:38:06. > :38:09.player, Justin. Nice fellow as well, doesn't live far away from Gary

:38:10. > :38:17.Anderson near Minehead, think he is a Taunton boy. There he is. Sat next

:38:18. > :38:25.to Katie Mitchell. Good friend of Scott's, of course. They come from

:38:26. > :38:37.the same part of the world. Give or take 100 miles. 50.

:38:38. > :38:49.Down at the bottom, anyway. Bottom left. Other winds -- -- otherwise

:38:50. > :38:58.known as the West. Terrific throwing from McGeeney. Maintaining the 98

:38:59. > :39:06.average, and now the finish, 128 to make it to teach in this set. On the

:39:07. > :39:12.throw, good start, treble 20 would leave 44. -- would leave a double

:39:13. > :39:25.numeric form. Now he will come down the board and look at 16 is double

:39:26. > :39:37.four. Can he take it to make it to each? This would be a 13 dart leg.

:39:38. > :39:50.Double 8. No. Not on any finish. First time in the match McGeeney has

:39:51. > :39:58.missed three doubles in a row. It should not really matter, with

:39:59. > :40:01.Mitchell back on 178. Shakes his head in frustration as he cannot

:40:02. > :40:11.find in all importance treble and is still a long way back. Double 8 from

:40:12. > :40:21.McGeeney. That is five he has missed. No! No score. This is a set

:40:22. > :40:33.point, this would be massive. It is a must get from McGeeney

:40:34. > :40:40.because Mitchell will come back on tops if he cannot take this at. Can

:40:41. > :40:49.he get closer? The last two were nowhere near. Double four. Will he

:40:50. > :40:59.get better luck here? The pain is clear to see. This is to take the

:41:00. > :41:07.set, and level the match. Yes, you didn't really doubt it is, did you?

:41:08. > :41:12.-- you didn't. The mark of a champion. He is thinking, how could

:41:13. > :41:22.I lose that? He knows he could not find those doubles. It is a Mitchell

:41:23. > :41:28.celebration, 2-2. He had never previously missed more than one

:41:29. > :41:34.double. In a row. Never missed to. That was nine. It is the game, if

:41:35. > :41:40.you get the opportunities you got to take them. Otherwise it can cost you

:41:41. > :41:49.big. What were you saying about bad habits? Absolutely.

:41:50. > :42:06.Having some fun. Great stuff for the crowd. They are enjoying the

:42:07. > :42:10.atmosphere. And when it comes to the sporting aspect, it is terrific

:42:11. > :42:16.stuff. Mitchell prevailed on that occasion. Batman and Robin taking

:42:17. > :42:24.some time off. Superheroes straight in from Gotham city. That double top

:42:25. > :42:32.would have felt like a boom to Mark McGeeney when Mitchell hit it. He

:42:33. > :42:39.was nowhere! No. Used to get out behind him.

:42:40. > :42:48.Halfway through the fourth set, McGeeney's overall average was

:42:49. > :42:57.knocking on 100. But all of those missed doubles, and his fourth set

:42:58. > :43:03.average on its own is not quite 90. Wanted rather better than 38. His

:43:04. > :43:09.throw will be under huge pressure because Mitchell is stacking up a

:43:10. > :43:21.solid ton while leaving him 176, a maximal 170 needed. Treble 20 from

:43:22. > :43:25.bull. For the best check out on the board, 170 from Mark McGeeney. I

:43:26. > :43:33.thought he might do it, five maximums and a 177 and a 174. 76 is

:43:34. > :43:43.what Mitchell needs. Double 18. Grazed the wire. Thought it was in,

:43:44. > :43:56.did Scotty dog. 94 double 16 hold his throw. Forget the

:43:57. > :44:05.Scottie dog is a list -- Scottie dogs or little yuppie things. Scott

:44:06. > :44:10.Mitchell does not quite fit the mould. He did when he first used to

:44:11. > :44:18.come here and lose meekly in the first round. Not any more. Apologies

:44:19. > :44:28.to all owners of the noble breed of the Scottie. I think even the

:44:29. > :44:40.Scottie dog owners would admit they zap. -- yap. They certainly do when

:44:41. > :44:44.they get excited. Little characters as well, they can be feisty little

:44:45. > :45:08.individuals. Anyway, on with the darts! Enough of Crufts. That was

:45:09. > :45:12.eight Kay and 99 from McGeeney. -- K99. Mitchell's throw under

:45:13. > :45:23.pressure. McGeeney hits 140, it will be a lot of pressure. Going for a

:45:24. > :45:27.teens, because one site -- 162 is a buggy number -- bogeyed number. It

:45:28. > :45:31.is team, so 164 is the finish and would be the highest of the

:45:32. > :45:49.tournament so far. Should he hit this?

:45:50. > :46:07.82 from Mitchell. To make it even Steven in this set. Bull's-eye? Good

:46:08. > :46:19.dart! High quality from the world champion. Hits the doubles when he

:46:20. > :46:24.needs to. Daughter lives every moment with him, doesn't she? I

:46:25. > :46:31.think she loves it, she really enjoys the matches here watching her

:46:32. > :46:36.dad. She is not the only one. Become a very popular figure in the darting

:46:37. > :46:46.world. Sharon, you saw in the background there. Very good darts

:46:47. > :46:58.player herself, is Katie. Plays county darts on the south coast.

:46:59. > :47:05.Presumably for Dorset? Future star, then, perhaps. The daughter of the

:47:06. > :47:10.world champion and another future star we watched earlier this

:47:11. > :47:14.afternoon, if you saw it on BBC Two, Jordan boys who came within a leg or

:47:15. > :47:22.two becoming the use world champion, just lost out to Joshua Richardson.

:47:23. > :47:29.Signing his first autographs aged 16. Still has two years of school

:47:30. > :47:42.left. You can imagine what will happen

:47:43. > :47:45.when he gets back now. Jordan, sign this, sign my exercise book! Jordan,

:47:46. > :47:57.how much did you win? He left himself on 166, which is no

:47:58. > :47:59.three figure check out but it does not matter because Scott is having a

:48:00. > :48:16.lead off, to be honest. Nothing between these players,

:48:17. > :48:32.really. So well matched. Treble would leave double 18. Maybe go for

:48:33. > :48:41.12 year? Nope. Leaving himself 66. Mitchell is miles away. You can see,

:48:42. > :48:52.strangely, 66, but he is confident with it can plenty of time. Scott is

:48:53. > :48:58.well back. Straight in, first dart. It is actually two out of two 466 on

:48:59. > :49:04.McGeeney in this match. That is why he left it.

:49:05. > :49:18.Some players favour different doubles, don't they? Some prefer 18

:49:19. > :49:21.or 16. Some golfer tops -- some goal for tops. Scott Mitchell chooses to

:49:22. > :49:44.finish. No maximum, but 140, 140 is emphatic

:49:45. > :49:48.at the start of a leg, especially when you have the darts. And the leg

:49:49. > :50:08.you have to win to keep the set alive. Let's see if he can do it

:50:09. > :50:16.again. Why not? Three in a row. And 11 dart leg would be nice. But not

:50:17. > :50:22.strictly necessary. No, you would not want to waste any time. It makes

:50:23. > :50:29.a statement as well. Treble 19, double 12 will be the shot. Now

:50:30. > :50:39.looking for treble 18, perhaps, or treble 10 would have left double 16.

:50:40. > :50:51.Not often you see 250 points worth of difference. At this level. Only

:50:52. > :51:02.had 12 darts, and now tops to make it 2-2. Still McGeeney not only

:51:03. > :51:16.finish. -- not on at finish. Double 10. Nicely done. 2-2. To each,

:51:17. > :51:24.McGeeney with the darts. It remains a pick and match.

:51:25. > :51:36.You can see those stats, 80% McGeeney, 70% Mitchell when they are

:51:37. > :51:46.throwing first. It does matter. Of course it matters. McGeeney holds

:51:47. > :51:49.his throw, he wins the set, goes at 3-2 ahead, first four Free Place in

:51:50. > :52:08.the quarterfinals. Great first dart. He has just

:52:09. > :52:18.blocked a little, chooses to stay on it. Surprised he did not change the

:52:19. > :52:23.target. 2-2. Nothing to separate them in points. We told you it might

:52:24. > :52:40.be close. Good dart. Treble 20. That is a tea

:52:41. > :52:50.scored. There is 140. -- there is 80 scored. That could be a big 80 point

:52:51. > :52:54.lead that Michoacan out -- Mitchell carved out. One that might make

:52:55. > :53:06.McGeeney twitchy. And it has. This is a chance from Mitchell. Six darts

:53:07. > :53:14.from 201 for the set. That is a great final dart. Needed it.

:53:15. > :53:18.McGeeney has got to get a big hit otherwise Mitchell really is a hot

:53:19. > :53:31.favourite to take this potentially set winning leg. 59 is not

:53:32. > :53:42.Goodenough. -- is not good enough. Treble 19 for double 12, yes, this

:53:43. > :53:48.is for the set from Mitchell. 164. That is a serious check out.

:53:49. > :53:56.Mitchell is poised, if he cannot do it he knows he has likely lost the

:53:57. > :54:03.set now, 3-2 down if Michoacan check out the 24th. No reason why not. He

:54:04. > :54:07.has done well on his doubles. Here he goes. He has hit the doubles that

:54:08. > :54:21.have mattered so far. And does it again. The family know it, he knows

:54:22. > :54:24.it, that was a big dart because look who is throwing first. And

:54:25. > :54:30.it, that was a big dart because look is leading the matter the first

:54:31. > :54:36.time, 3-2, and as a Vassos says, with the darts now, he is now

:54:37. > :54:40.favourites to win this match. Can McGeeney dig deep and, again? -- and

:54:41. > :54:54.come again. A reminder, the winner of this one

:54:55. > :55:00.will play either Martin Atkins or Richard Aziz struck -- or Richard

:55:01. > :55:04.Veenstra who are in action this evening. That is in the

:55:05. > :55:13.quarterfinals, that will be a good match. Absolutely. Both of them are

:55:14. > :55:16.in the last 16 and whoever wins this against whoever wins that in the

:55:17. > :55:22.quarters. He rather likes being world champion, Scott Mitchell. Even

:55:23. > :55:28.when McGeeney was absolutely flying earlier in the match, we did say

:55:29. > :55:33.Mitchell would take an awful lot of beating. It has proved to be true.

:55:34. > :55:41.He is ahead and is throwing big numbers again. He is having the same

:55:42. > :55:46.sort of match as he did against Craig Caldwell

:55:47. > :55:47.sort of match as he did against Caldwell came out and threw

:55:48. > :55:53.sort of match as he did against of fireworks at Mitchell. But he

:55:54. > :56:00.hung in there, the world champion. Again, he yet the doubles that

:56:01. > :56:07.mattered. Looking for treble 17. Decided not to take it out. Look at

:56:08. > :56:10.the scoreboard. It told him McGeeney is back on 281 and has left his

:56:11. > :56:18.double 12 again. Probably good thinking. No need to check it out,

:56:19. > :56:38.he is not going to get a shot at it now. There he goes again.

:56:39. > :56:47.Looks relaxed up there, Scott Mitchell, absolutely in control of

:56:48. > :56:54.himself, in control of his emotions. He has experience of tight matches

:56:55. > :57:07.drawn, not least the final last year against Martin Adams.

:57:08. > :57:19.I wonder what he is thinking, Veenstra. He will be interested, but

:57:20. > :57:24.he will know before this evening began that he will face one heck of

:57:25. > :57:28.a match. He has a bit of work to sort out first for he gets through

:57:29. > :57:32.to that quarterfinal. sort out first for he gets through

:57:33. > :57:39.will have other ideas. He can be a very good thrower indeed.

:57:40. > :58:01.Chance from McGeeney. only 105 scored by Scott Mitchell.

:58:02. > :58:14.Good cover. Cover shot being the treble 19. Back looking for tops and

:58:15. > :58:19.found the one again. Little bit of a chuckle, cannot believe how bad he

:58:20. > :58:20.was. Was not that bad, did not miss by a mile. Telling himself to stay

:58:21. > :58:37.straight again. McGeeney knows he has a great

:58:38. > :58:42.opportunity. It is getting even more so. McGeeney will win this match,

:58:43. > :58:50.you sense he will have to win this leg. -- if McGeeney will win. And

:58:51. > :59:10.then somehow find a way to break. Indeed. He is going for 14.

:59:11. > :59:21.Excellent darts. That is better. 180! A smile from McGeeney for his

:59:22. > :59:28.mate. Now extinct for the leg to make it one each. -- now 60. Nice

:59:29. > :59:37.sporting round of applause from Mitchell. None of the snarling and

:59:38. > :59:48.grimacing you sometimes see up on the oche. Maximum respect from these

:59:49. > :59:52.two. Straight back in with a ton 40. McGeeney's finishing has been almost

:59:53. > :00:04.immaculate throughout, apart from in the fourth set when he missed and

:00:05. > :00:19.nine in a row. Pretty handy stats if he took nine of 27. He has hit his

:00:20. > :00:24.last three, McGeeney. Those are the fourth set averages. Those are the

:00:25. > :00:43.checkouts. Mitchell going well on his own

:00:44. > :00:54.throw. Will he be looking for able site check out? -- able site. He

:00:55. > :01:03.certainly will be. Very high quality darts from both players. 121...

:01:04. > :01:12.Needed a treble 17 to set up the bull's-eye. It doesn't really

:01:13. > :01:41.matter. In that... McGeeney cannot take out 166 on this visit.

:01:42. > :01:52.Not everybody likes 66... He was throwing for 10. 68, McGeeney. 16

:01:53. > :02:01.leaves double 16. I wonder what a big dart that might

:02:02. > :02:07.have team and so does she. Moving a leg away from the

:02:08. > :02:21.quarterfinals. A good dart, double 3. Big dart.

:02:22. > :02:41.McGeeney is feeling it. I think he is still thinking about

:02:42. > :02:47.that double 16. He has got away with it. 100, not too much damage done.

:02:48. > :03:07.Get the double 16 out of your mind. Very nice visit, especially after

:03:08. > :03:22.the 1st dart. McGeeney has to take this leg, let me remind you.

:03:23. > :03:39.McGeeney has thrown really well. But has he just crumbled a touch?

:03:40. > :03:50.The crowd are with Mitchell, he is feeling it as well. The finishing

:03:51. > :03:58.line is inside. At times today, McGeeney has been unplayable. -- in

:03:59. > :04:01.sight. He took out 130. He 1st threw the 1st set 3- 0. But now Mitchell,

:04:02. > :04:29.treble 20... Mitchell would have been the big

:04:30. > :04:30.favourite but I don't think so now. McGeeney is 70 away from holding his

:04:31. > :04:48.throw. How much pressure on this 70? It is

:04:49. > :04:53.huge, I tell you. Great darts... Double 8...

:04:54. > :05:06.There it is. Great play by Mark McGeeney, still in there. 2- 2.

:05:07. > :05:21.Mitchell now throwing for the match. He is with the diets. -- the darts.

:05:22. > :05:25.Well played Mark McGeeney. That is such a bad start. McGeeney will be

:05:26. > :05:51.looking to jump on that. A bad 1st dart.

:05:52. > :06:06.Big score needed. And a big score on its way... Is it the biggest? Not

:06:07. > :06:07.quite. Handy, though. A lead of the better part of a tonne. Mitchell

:06:08. > :06:20.throwing. To take us into a deciding set, 2- 2

:06:21. > :06:37.legs. The 5th set. Yes... To take us into a deciding set, 2- 2

:06:38. > :06:38.treble 20. 180 CHEERING His 6th maximum, the 9th of the

:06:39. > :06:45.match. Unlucky. And now, 96 to win the set.

:06:46. > :06:57.Mitchell is not on a finish. He will be back. He certainly will,

:06:58. > :07:16.his favourite double, double 18. Well... Just about managed to

:07:17. > :07:20.struggle on to a finish, McGeeney, for the said...

:07:21. > :07:41.Game, shot and the 6th set, Mark McGeeney. Anne-Marie, his wife,

:07:42. > :07:42.looking happy. Scott Mitchell knows that it is going to be the deciding

:07:43. > :07:58.set. 3- 3, going all the way. The 2 of them touched fists like

:07:59. > :08:05.fighters. They know they have had a tremendous tussle. We have enjoyed

:08:06. > :08:11.it up here. And I think they are enjoying it up on that stage. The

:08:12. > :08:14.averages have not been world shattering but it has been an

:08:15. > :08:22.excellent match which has gone this way and that. And the 2 of them

:08:23. > :08:33.locked together, right down towards the climax of this match. The

:08:34. > :08:37.averages, both of them, around 92%, pretty good, not sensational. But it

:08:38. > :08:54.does not tell the story. A great game of darts.

:08:55. > :08:58.Whose nerve is going to crack? McGeeney has been safer on his own

:08:59. > :09:15.throw. Not by a great deal. That is a bit ordinary. Yes, the

:09:16. > :09:17.last leg and a half, I wonder what has happened to his scoring? And so

:09:18. > :09:46.does he. With Mitchell back on 256, 118 to

:09:47. > :09:50.hold his throw at the start of this deciding said.

:09:51. > :09:51.hold his throw at the start of this 19... Not the worst news in the

:09:52. > :09:57.world. 180!

:09:58. > :10:20.CHEERING Puts pressure on. Double 12, the

:10:21. > :10:30.opening leg. Game, shot and the 1st leg, Mark McGeeney. 2nd leg, Scott

:10:31. > :10:36.Mitchell to throw 1st. Game on! If it goes 2- 2 the deciding leg, there

:10:37. > :10:41.has to be a 2 legged margin be for 1 or other is declared the winner, if

:10:42. > :10:52.it goes 5- 5, they take the bull's-eye 1st sudden death. -- for

:10:53. > :10:58.sudden death. McGeeney is just riding the crest of a wave of

:10:59. > :11:06.momentum. Taking us into the deciding set. Hitting double 12. The

:11:07. > :11:11.1st time of asking. If he can't highly in a couple of big score is

:11:12. > :11:21.here, this momentum, this wave that he is currently on, Scott Mitchell

:11:22. > :11:24.wiping the sweat from his brow. Mark McGeeney may be the fitter man and

:11:25. > :11:29.that may be a factor, it is very warm up they are and they had been

:11:30. > :11:33.playing for 75 minutes. It is not about going in and mailing big

:11:34. > :11:39.numbers, it is a long course and you have to maintain concentration. And

:11:40. > :11:44.not be upset by the conditions which are warm, you can see beads of

:11:45. > :11:45.perspiration on Scott Mitchell. McGeeney goes looking for another

:11:46. > :12:01.maximum. He will take 140. He leads by the hundred and 20. 121,

:12:02. > :12:08.very makeable. Treble 20 with the 1st dart... If he misses that, he

:12:09. > :12:10.goes looking for treble 17. If he gets a 5, of course, it goes out of

:12:11. > :12:17.the window. Good last dart. Must take this out, really, Scott

:12:18. > :12:30.Mitchell. He cannot. Double 18, for a break of throw.

:12:31. > :12:37.McGeeney, on his favourite double. What a great opportunity.

:12:38. > :12:51.Staring down the barrel, Mark McGeeney is poised for victory. Is

:12:52. > :12:55.the reign of Scott Mitchell coming to an end? McGeeney throwing for the

:12:56. > :13:02.match... He finds the treble with that 3rd

:13:03. > :13:13.dart. Crucially... Needs the resolve of the champion

:13:14. > :13:19.now, doesn't he? He needs some champion darts and they are pretty

:13:20. > :13:23.good. He will not go quietly, Scott Mitchell, no question about that.

:13:24. > :13:32.But it might not be... There might not be anything he can do about it

:13:33. > :13:37.if Mark McGeeney keeps finding the trebles. 140, looking like a minimum

:13:38. > :13:49.requirement. That will hurt. And McGeeney...

:13:50. > :13:54.Remember, this is his Lakeside debut, seeded 11. Heading, perhaps,

:13:55. > :14:04.to victory over the defending champion. That is unlucky! Heading

:14:05. > :14:13.for treble 20. Would have left him on a finish. As it happens, Scott

:14:14. > :14:21.Mitchell has a glimmer of hope. He needed 140 but it was not going to

:14:22. > :14:31.be there. 209. He has got to get a treble... That is loose.

:14:32. > :14:41.He will be back, 128. He too got 130 at the start of the match. --

:14:42. > :14:53.Boutique to God. -- he took out. Treble 20... For a bullseye check

:14:54. > :15:20.out... He has missed it. He has missed it.

:15:21. > :15:21.The wrong side of the wire. McGeeney left with 25 for victory and the

:15:22. > :15:41.match... This is when it matters. No!

:15:42. > :15:45.CHEERING 3 missed match darts. Mitchell

:15:46. > :15:59.breathes again. Double 16 and there it is!

:16:00. > :16:05.CHEERING Mitchell breaks back.

:16:06. > :16:09.CHEERING A smile from McGeeney but he is not

:16:10. > :16:17.happy, not 1 little bit. They are happy and Scott Mitchell has the

:16:18. > :16:22.darts to square this up. 2- 2. Just when we thought McGeeney was going

:16:23. > :16:26.to take it out. Was that nervousness, tension? You bet! What

:16:27. > :16:46.a match! Mitchell taking a gulp of water,

:16:47. > :17:00.trying to stay cool up there. Scott Mitchell wins this, it is a Houdini

:17:01. > :17:03.like performance. Brilliant. A tonne 40 Gibson advantage, maybe again,

:17:04. > :17:13.unless McGeeney goes up and smashes 180. Scott Mitchell seems cam. I

:17:14. > :17:17.think he is flooding across the surface, so really, like a swan and

:17:18. > :17:25.his little legs are going like mad underneath the water. He had a shot

:17:26. > :17:36.at poolside which he did not miss by a long way and he had 2 shots at

:17:37. > :17:42.double 8... Mitchell has 2 winners. Mark is trying to stay in touch. My

:17:43. > :17:50.word, he needed a treble. He has not founded. -- found it.

:17:51. > :18:00.Only 60 but it is a finish, 141. What he would give for 140.

:18:01. > :18:09.Looking for that treble 20. It is just not there. 60.

:18:10. > :18:16.To take us into a tie-break situation. You have to win by 2

:18:17. > :18:29.clear legs if it gets to 2- 2. 25... Leaving double 18. That is

:18:30. > :18:33.exactly what he has done. APPLAUSE

:18:34. > :18:46.McGeeney trying to get the numbers and hoping that Mitchell has the

:18:47. > :18:53.same fallibility on the double that he showed. You would not expect

:18:54. > :18:58.Scott Mitchell to miss this. Not at this stage.

:18:59. > :19:08.Just 1 more dart... And he has nested. 143 is a big ask, for the

:19:09. > :19:33.match... Treble 20 is the 1st. dart. There is a double. We are

:19:34. > :19:39.going all the way. CHEERING

:19:40. > :19:48.going all the way. The score is now 3- 3 and 2- 2

:19:49. > :19:52.sets... If you are not enjoying this at home, I don't think you

:19:53. > :19:55.sets... If you are not enjoying this get darts because this has become a

:19:56. > :20:02.match, you cannot take your eyes off it, so much at stake. They now have

:20:03. > :20:11.to win by 2 clear legs. If it goes all the way to 5- 5, they will be

:20:12. > :20:19.standing up for a sudden death leg. Who do you fancy? Have you got a

:20:20. > :20:24.coin to toss? I guess you have to go with the defending champion,

:20:25. > :20:35.especially after McGeeney missed the four darts. To knock him out. But...

:20:36. > :20:41.He has shown bottle a plenty, the 11 seed, remember, this is his debut.

:20:42. > :20:43.Scott Mitchell knew he was in for a hard game. It is a little bit more

:20:44. > :20:57.than hard, it is an absolute battle. They must have been on the stage for

:20:58. > :21:01.an hour and a half now. Maybe more than that. And they still cannot

:21:02. > :21:14.allow the level to drop. Good darts. 3 in. 180.

:21:15. > :21:25.CHEERING The champion is on a finish.

:21:26. > :21:30.As you can see, the 150th of the tournament so far. Almost another.

:21:31. > :21:42.That is a brilliant response. Close, close, close... Treble 20,

:21:43. > :22:03.double 8... To move ahead. The crowd thought

:22:04. > :22:05.was a shout of yes but it was just the wrong side of the wire.

:22:06. > :22:17.Mitchell, against the throw. He has guarded.

:22:18. > :22:28.CHEERING He needs to hold his throw. To win

:22:29. > :22:33.an epic match. -- he has got it. He had a huge battle against Craig

:22:34. > :22:37.Caldwell. Mark McGeeney has had 4 microdots that the match but now,

:22:38. > :22:46.after that, Scott Mitchell can serve it out for victory.

:22:47. > :22:57.Only 59. McGeeney sniffs and opportunity. It is good stuff.

:22:58. > :23:12.Just the start he wanted. Takes the opportunity. McGeeney has got to win

:23:13. > :23:17.this leg, otherwise it is Mitchell for the match.

:23:18. > :23:28.Not what's required. 60 following 59, McGeeney has effectively nicked

:23:29. > :23:32.the darts. Mitchell has been here before, at the end of the 6th set,

:23:33. > :23:38.he threw for the match but did not find his way to the double. His

:23:39. > :23:47.scoring let him down. That is what is happening. The Mitchell fans

:23:48. > :23:55.trying to read up their hero, a good last dart, important. His 9th add a

:23:56. > :23:58.treble. Effectively, McGeeney has nicked the darts. Can he find

:23:59. > :24:14.another treble 20? Yes, he can. He is on a finish. Mitchell, with

:24:15. > :24:21.the darts. He has to hold his throw. It can be a bit of a throwaway word.

:24:22. > :24:30.Still not on a finish. To level us up again. He will be back.

:24:31. > :24:39.That is pretty ordinary, left himself a Shanghai to win it.

:24:40. > :24:48.Mitchell can do a lot of damage if he can find 140, another 1 of those

:24:49. > :24:54.would be very handy. They call it Shanghai, a treble, single and a

:24:55. > :24:58.double... There is the treble. This is the easy bit. Here is the

:24:59. > :25:10.double... The Mitchell fans are a bit

:25:11. > :25:14.disappointed. But McGeeney, for those of us who are revelling in

:25:15. > :25:28.this match, it means that it goes on. He finds that dart.

:25:29. > :25:36.And now, once again, it is just about who can get the 2 leg

:25:37. > :25:45.advantage. If it goes to 5- 5, a reminder, the sudden death leg.

:25:46. > :25:50.Which has only happened 15 times previously in the men's World

:25:51. > :25:56.Championship. Looking for a 6th 180, the 12th of the match. 180!

:25:57. > :26:02.CHEERING For a time to throw wet. We have

:26:03. > :26:08.also had 174, the standard has been unremittingly high.

:26:09. > :26:22.Let's see if Mitchell can build on that. Not even a tonne would

:26:23. > :26:27.maintain a good advantage. Good dart. He will be happy. Twice Scott

:26:28. > :26:30.Mitchell has had the darts, throwing for a place in the quarterfinal but

:26:31. > :26:39.twice he has been broken by this man. Let's not forget, he has missed

:26:40. > :26:41.four darts... An outstanding game. He is on a finish. Mitchell can hurt

:26:42. > :26:45.him. That is loose. No finish for Mitchell. That is the

:26:46. > :27:03.last thing he wanted. A lot of tension in that dart, a lot

:27:04. > :27:20.of shoulder in it. Looking for the break again. 140...

:27:21. > :27:27.Hurts McGeeney. That is a good dart. Precisely what he got. For McGeeney,

:27:28. > :27:38.this is looking like a must take again.

:27:39. > :27:46.Still... To break again... Scott Mitchell. When he comes to the

:27:47. > :27:50.ochie, he will aim at double top. A little sip of water. Deep breath.

:27:51. > :28:05.Taking his time. CHEERING

:28:06. > :28:13.He has broken the throw and again, he now throws for the match. He has

:28:14. > :28:20.the darts. The 3rd time in this match, Scott Mitchell has been in

:28:21. > :28:26.this position. And this time, he finds the treble right away. His

:28:27. > :28:34.scoring let him down previously. When he was a leg away. But that is

:28:35. > :28:45.a brilliant start. What he would give for a 12 daughter here. What he

:28:46. > :28:54.would give for 180! Still in touch. Mitchell is in control. Looking for

:28:55. > :29:00.another 140. That gives McGeeney a chance to claw back. Still talking

:29:01. > :29:15.to himself. Hit the treble, he said. Let's see if he can hit the treble

:29:16. > :29:20.this time, behind, but not by a lot. Still with the advantage but he has

:29:21. > :29:23.got to find the treble. Suddenly... So hard to head-butt that is a big

:29:24. > :29:29.dart. -- so hard to hit. No finish. 201, Mitchell. 6 darts

:29:30. > :29:53.from here. Again, struggling to find the

:29:54. > :30:00.treble. Hit the treble, he said to himself. 41, on a finish but that

:30:01. > :30:03.will do damage. 3 times he has thrown for the match but he has not

:30:04. > :30:08.had a double for the match. This man has.

:30:09. > :30:31.Mitchell to win the match. McGeeney will return with a great

:30:32. > :30:44.opportunity. This is to level it up again at four legs in a piece.

:30:45. > :31:07.4-4. Still there is the possibility of winning by two clear legs if it

:31:08. > :31:11.goes to five sets. What guts from Mark McGeeney. A lot of you out

:31:12. > :31:13.there have probably not heard of this guy before but he can throw and

:31:14. > :31:28.he was showing it. He said it could have been a match

:31:29. > :31:33.for the ages if they both turned up. It has not quite been as good as

:31:34. > :31:37.that. The average is not stratospheric, but in terms of

:31:38. > :31:39.that. The average is not and closeness, and sheer guts, when

:31:40. > :31:49.it has come to some of these finishes, it has been top drawer.

:31:50. > :31:56.McGeeney is debited at Lakeside. Scott Mitchell the defending

:31:57. > :32:01.champion. Never more than one set between them. And now absolutely

:32:02. > :32:17.nothing between them. Where did the five come from? Where

:32:18. > :32:24.did the one come from? He says. Mitchell to pounce, Mitchell to

:32:25. > :32:26.punish. Well, not really. Not quite. He would have liked the extra travel

:32:27. > :32:42.20 there. -- treble 20. A wry smile from Mitchell. 152 is

:32:43. > :33:23.the ask for McGeeney now. Come on then, Mark, you know what is

:33:24. > :33:29.required. Two darts will Come on then, Mark, you know what is

:33:30. > :33:47.will start at the top of the board That is good checking out. He is 5-4

:33:48. > :34:03.up. Mitchell has told his throw to go into a sudden death.

:34:04. > :34:16.A poor start from Mitchell. McGeeney, that is not lying well.

:34:17. > :34:22.Since the missed match darts, credit to McGeeney, he has hit three

:34:23. > :34:29.doubles in a row, including that massive bull's-eye two legs ago, to

:34:30. > :34:31.stay alive. It has been a great scrap. Mitchell just with his nose

:34:32. > :34:57.ahead. Stays straight, he says, as the

:34:58. > :35:04.match ticks over the 100 minute mark. An hour and 40 minutes they

:35:05. > :35:12.have been sat there while these two have been on the stage trading

:35:13. > :35:16.blows. McGeeney quavering slightly. He is furious that he has produced

:35:17. > :35:25.some pretty rank darts at a key moment.

:35:26. > :35:29.All the neutrals in Lakeside are hoping this goes to sudden death. It

:35:30. > :35:54.has been so close. The only thing this match has not

:35:55. > :35:58.had so far is a really nervy leg from both players. This is it.

:35:59. > :36:28.. This is for the match for Mark

:36:29. > :37:08.McGeeney. Mark McGeeney, he has missed five

:37:09. > :37:12.match darts. Anne-Marie, his wife, watches on. She has been applauding

:37:13. > :37:17.both players and has been smiling throughout this but the Gladiator

:37:18. > :37:29.needs nine. He has gone one for tops.

:37:30. > :37:41.That is six match darts he has missed. Seven, I beg your pardon.

:37:42. > :37:47.Sudden death, sudden death and McGeeney will think, I should have

:37:48. > :37:52.won that match. A little joke between them. A lovely spirit. Now

:37:53. > :38:00.they pull up to see who will go first in the sudden death leg. What

:38:01. > :38:14.drama. Yes, drama is the word. The closest to the ball. -- the closest

:38:15. > :38:17.to the bull has the advantage. Still no separating these two. McGeeney

:38:18. > :38:29.has first crack this time. Oh, yes. The crowd know they have watched a

:38:30. > :38:55.terrific game of darts. Only the 15th time amen's match has

:38:56. > :39:04.gone to a sudden death leg in the history of the BDO Championship. It

:39:05. > :39:17.is the third time this week. 121 is a good starter.

:39:18. > :39:31.What a match this is. Mitchell, what he would give for a maximum here.

:39:32. > :39:41.Four treble 20s out of six he has thrown. Enormous credit to both

:39:42. > :39:50.players for keeping up this sort of standard. Absolutely. Under this

:39:51. > :39:53.pressure for so long. He is hammering that treble 20 in this

:39:54. > :40:11.decisive leg. Mitchell will come back with 117 for

:40:12. > :40:31.the match now. 102 is makeable. The wrong side of the wire. That was

:40:32. > :40:33.his first match darts. Mark McGeeney has had and missed seven. Will he

:40:34. > :40:49.get another one here? Would you believe it? He thought

:40:50. > :40:56.that was in. His wife can't believe it. Now he has to hope that Scott

:40:57. > :41:07.Mitchell Mrs. World champion Scott Mitchell requires 40 to win this

:41:08. > :41:11.epic match. He has got it! Scott Mitchell has managed to edge home in

:41:12. > :41:17.front of his great friend and what a marvellous sight that his? That was

:41:18. > :41:23.a terrific game of darts. It went all the way. In a way, you almost

:41:24. > :41:28.did not want to see a loser. The world champion, the narrowest of

:41:29. > :41:32.squeaks has managed to hold on with a sudden death victory. The two of

:41:33. > :41:37.them can only congratulate each other. A super match. If you have

:41:38. > :41:43.enjoyed it with us, that was special.

:41:44. > :41:53.CHEERING Well, Mark McGeeney promised us a

:41:54. > :42:00.match for the ages. He promised us he would win it. He almost delivered

:42:01. > :42:15.on both promises. What a game. What a match. The champion, just, just

:42:16. > :42:17.goes through. Down to the wire here at Lakeside, show your appreciation,

:42:18. > :42:27.Mark McGeeney! CHEERING

:42:28. > :42:28.The defending champion survives, Scotty Dog, Scott Mitchell!

:42:29. > :42:53.CHEERING Mark McGeeney has Metallica tatted

:42:54. > :43:04.on his throwing arm but at the time of action he did not have the metal.

:43:05. > :43:05.The 2015 champion Scotty Dog is through. McGeeney off to never never

:43:06. > :43:22.land. Most of the darting world simply put

:43:23. > :43:25.a tick aside Scott Mitchell's name, Bobby George said this will be much

:43:26. > :43:31.closer than you think. Keeping you did not think it would be that

:43:32. > :43:38.close? I didn't think it would be that close, no. What experience. And

:43:39. > :43:46.eight chances Mark had to win that. You cannot blame Scott. You said

:43:47. > :43:51.when he was 2-1 art at the break, that Scotty would come back into it.

:43:52. > :44:00.It is exactly what happened. You just felt it was a mountain still

:44:01. > :44:08.for him to get that final double. To keep in the game, I thought it was

:44:09. > :44:16.magic, it was! It was a great match to watch. It was so exciting. We

:44:17. > :44:21.were on the floor here. When he missed the bull and then he bounced

:44:22. > :44:26.it in, it he should have done that two darts ago! Let's bring in

:44:27. > :44:30.it in, it he should have done that Mitchell and chat to him. Scott,

:44:31. > :44:35.congratulations! What a match it was. Just before we get into the ins

:44:36. > :44:36.and outs of the game, if you can hear me, let's get your thoughts on

:44:37. > :44:43.and outs of the game, if you can the match.

:44:44. > :44:43.and outs of the game, if you can not be easy. Everyone said that is

:44:44. > :44:47.the name we do not know. I have not be easy. Everyone said that is

:44:48. > :44:50.stood behind him when he has got us not be easy. Everyone said that is

:44:51. > :44:53.out of the whatsit at the not be easy. Everyone said that is

:44:54. > :45:00.I knew he was never going to You can't break his spirit. You have

:45:01. > :45:11.actually got to go and beat him and today it was bound to be lucky than

:45:12. > :45:17.good. I think if he had hit a player at the Lakeside before, he would be

:45:18. > :45:21.standing here. The keyword is experience. Everybody at home kids

:45:22. > :45:26.then I have got no bottle, but I cannot do it when it is under

:45:27. > :45:30.pressure. I tell you now, those last legs, you feel every dart. Bobby

:45:31. > :45:35.knows. Every jerk of the dart and you know when it has gone wrong and

:45:36. > :45:41.it plays on your mind. Many times it was out of your hands, the mental

:45:42. > :45:46.attitude of Scott Mitchell that got you to become champion was head

:45:47. > :45:50.down, take your time and keep your emotions in check. How hard is it to

:45:51. > :45:55.do that when the guy had eight darts to win and you are standing behind

:45:56. > :46:01.him. I did not know he had eight darts to win, that is the honest

:46:02. > :46:06.truth. Eight? I remember when I was going up and I just had to hold my

:46:07. > :46:10.own throw and I could not do it. The arm starts going wobbly and the

:46:11. > :46:16.elbows start straying. You have done the hard work, just go and finish

:46:17. > :46:21.him off, and I couldn't do it! It was unbelievable, a proper roller

:46:22. > :46:25.coasters. You have to come through all sorts of different matches here.

:46:26. > :46:33.OK, he missed eight darts, but time and time again, you were taking out

:46:34. > :46:38.to two dart finishes. I did want to give this up. Averages do not

:46:39. > :46:42.interest me. Being in the next round is what interests me. I know there

:46:43. > :46:47.have been tough games and I have played tough but I am still in and I

:46:48. > :46:51.am still waiting for the good game to come. Mark McGeeney, Scott knew

:46:52. > :46:55.he was a good player, Bobby picked out before a was thrown and that is

:46:56. > :47:00.why we really wanted him to have that game this afternoon because we

:47:01. > :47:07.thought it would deliver and it did. Rob Walker is talking to Mark. We

:47:08. > :47:11.were exhausted watching that. Mark, you did not deserve to lose that

:47:12. > :47:15.match. It was utterly enthralling. Tell me you can take some positives

:47:16. > :47:22.from the heroic performance you have produced, even though you did not

:47:23. > :47:26.win. I can take all the positives. It was a brilliant game. I loved

:47:27. > :47:33.every single second. The crowd were amazing. I could not get any better

:47:34. > :47:38.than that. So many times you came back. You could watch it back and

:47:39. > :47:41.rue the eight missed chances to finish, but you dug in time and time

:47:42. > :47:48.again to stay in the match, how did you do that? Where did you draw that

:47:49. > :47:51.from from the defending world champion? I knew I would have a

:47:52. > :47:59.tough game against Scott but I would never give up. That is why I am the

:48:00. > :48:03.Gladiator. You certainly are. It took Scott six times to make the

:48:04. > :48:08.quarterfinals. You will be back and you have won yourself a whole army

:48:09. > :48:16.of admirers, Gladiator. Thank you for taking part in an utterly epic

:48:17. > :48:22.match. Go and have a beer mate, you deserve it. Thank you. There was a

:48:23. > :48:25.cleaner lady at the door of Scott Mitchell's bedroom to take the

:48:26. > :48:32.trophy back, she has now locked the door and put back the do not disturb

:48:33. > :48:38.sign. We are spoiled this afternoon, Trina Gulliver has won the title

:48:39. > :48:43.here nine times. It has got her an MBE for her darting dexterity. But

:48:44. > :48:48.the girl to beat in the last two years is Lisa Ashton. 11 times

:48:49. > :48:59.between them. Rob Walker got them together at the same time. Ladies,

:49:00. > :49:05.what a match this will be. Are you both looking forward to it? Yes, I

:49:06. > :49:13.am definitely looking forward to it. It should be a cracking game. Trina,

:49:14. > :49:17.the fact that Lisa has taken the game on to new levels is a huge

:49:18. > :49:24.condiment to you because you are no longer flying the solo flag for

:49:25. > :49:28.women's darts? Lisa has been playing well so -- playing so well this

:49:29. > :49:33.season and the season before. The standard has been getting higher.

:49:34. > :49:37.She is doing a great job. Lisa, you were a pub player back in the day,

:49:38. > :49:44.can you remember watching Trina win the first title back in 2001? I can.

:49:45. > :49:52.That inspired me to carry on playing and go further and do what Trina is

:49:53. > :49:55.doing. It is your 16th year here at Lakeside. Do you still enjoy it

:49:56. > :50:01.every bit as much as when you began over a decade ago? Yes, I love

:50:02. > :50:06.Lakeside. I have become part of the furniture, I guess, from when it

:50:07. > :50:14.first started in 2001, I have always been here. I do love it here. Lisa,

:50:15. > :50:19.how long did it take you to no longer feel intimidated by facing

:50:20. > :50:23.Trina when you were first emerging and you started to develop as a

:50:24. > :50:28.talent? It must have been intimidating to begin with? It was.

:50:29. > :50:33.Trina has helped me a lot. She has helped me on this circuit and

:50:34. > :50:38.helping me to control everything and my ability has gone higher and

:50:39. > :50:46.higher. I thank her for it. Thanks, mate. You're welcome! What would it

:50:47. > :50:52.mean for you to follow in Trina's footsteps, and be the second woman

:50:53. > :51:00.to win three in a row? It would be a dream country. Anna has done it,

:51:01. > :51:07.Trina has done it but it would be a dream country to be in the titles

:51:08. > :51:12.with Trina. You obviously have enormous respect for one another,

:51:13. > :51:16.what is your match day scenario? Do you have a handshake after breakfast

:51:17. > :51:20.and stay out of each other's way or will you be chatting write-up on to

:51:21. > :51:26.the last couple of moments before you take centre stage? We will be

:51:27. > :51:35.chatting to the last moment. We are comfortable with each other and we

:51:36. > :51:39.are good mates on and off the oche. Once we are on the oche, it will be

:51:40. > :51:45.heads on and we will be at each other's throats, so to speak that of

:51:46. > :51:50.the oche, we are fine. We all massively looking forward to this

:51:51. > :51:57.match. Good luck to both of you. It will be a cracking atmosphere. Thank

:51:58. > :52:01.you. We know all about Gulliver's travels. In the last couple of

:52:02. > :52:16.years, it has been Lisa's victory. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the

:52:17. > :52:20.2060 Lakeside World Championships. It is ladies' quarterfinal day here

:52:21. > :52:28.at the home of world darts, the Lakeside! We now introduce a winner

:52:29. > :52:36.of over 80 world ranking titles, five times the world champion, nine

:52:37. > :52:39.times the Lakeside world champion, it is The Golden Girl, Trina

:52:40. > :52:52.Gulliver! MUSIC: You Sexy Thing

:52:53. > :53:48.by Hot Chocolate We now bring to the stage the

:53:49. > :53:52.current world number one and the whole dot of nine world ranking

:53:53. > :53:59.titles, she is the reigning BDO world trophy and World Cup singles

:54:00. > :54:00.champion, the twice reigning Lakeside world champion, the

:54:01. > :54:13.Lancashire Rose, Lisa Ashton! MUSIC: On A Mission

:54:14. > :55:08.by Gabriella Cilmi Here we go then. A place in the

:55:09. > :55:13.semifinals at stake, 11 titles between them. It is Thursday

:55:14. > :55:17.evening. Lisa Ashton has basically been kicking her heels at Lakeside

:55:18. > :55:26.since Saturday afternoon when she opened the women's world

:55:27. > :55:35.Championship, with an easy win. Trina had to come through a tough

:55:36. > :55:40.match against D Bateman. We will hope that the defending champion

:55:41. > :55:47.brings out her best today. Good friends, team-mates, the first to

:55:48. > :55:56.two sets through to the last four at Lakeside.

:55:57. > :56:14.Lisa has got the darts. She will be wanting to make a positive start. As

:56:15. > :56:19.she makes a steady town. -- ton. She has been in tremendous form in the

:56:20. > :56:20.last couple of years. She is currently the holder of numerous

:56:21. > :56:38.titles. Swept all before her. Trina Gulliver so much success in

:56:39. > :56:44.years gone by. Nine time champion. Invincible from 2001 to 2007. That

:56:45. > :56:50.was then and this is now. Trina Gulliver MBE, a big outsider against

:56:51. > :57:02.Lisa who is such a good player and so dominant now at the top of the

:57:03. > :57:08.women's game, Vassos? She has reached 12 finals in 2015 and won

:57:09. > :57:15.nine of them. Not a bad record, is it? She took her ranking titles

:57:16. > :57:22.total to 18. Mind you, there is still a way to go to match

:57:23. > :57:27.total to 18. Mind you, there is 82. She had a much quieter year did

:57:28. > :57:32.the eighth seed this year. Runner-up in the English open and runner-up in

:57:33. > :57:41.the Northern Ireland open. Gulliver is a long way back. Now 46

:57:42. > :58:23.years old, Gulliver is a long way back. Now 46

:58:24. > :58:35.by one year. Double 10 for Lisa to take the opening leg. Not often you

:58:36. > :58:45.see her miss five doubles in a row. A slightly sticky start.

:58:46. > :59:03.Oh, dear, she has missed the big 14. Opportunity goes begging.

:59:04. > :59:08.Tops for a break of throw forward Trina the liver. -- for Trina

:59:09. > :59:26.Gulliver. Well done, Trina Gulliver, first

:59:27. > :59:30.break of throw. Eight missed doubles from Lisa Ashton. You might be

:59:31. > :59:35.surprised to hear that Lisa is seeded at Lakeside for the first

:59:36. > :59:44.time. If a man she came back as defending champion last year, she

:59:45. > :59:45.was unseeded. Certainly wasn't unseeded in my mind. She threw

:59:46. > :00:14.brilliantly. How Ashton would like to break

:00:15. > :00:29.straight back. Good leg so far. If Trina did win this, it would be a

:00:30. > :00:53.big upset. It has been a big old few months in

:00:54. > :00:57.the Lisa Ashton household. Perhaps we will let you know what happened

:00:58. > :01:07.in the next leg, because she is already on a finish, for a 12 dart

:01:08. > :01:16.leg, looking to leave double 18. Good effort. Lisa Ashton, 45 years

:01:17. > :01:24.old, became a grandma not too long back.

:01:25. > :01:37.OK, double top, another missed double, a ninth, a tenth and 11th!

:01:38. > :01:43.143 for Gulliver is a big ask, 15 darts already to this point, that is

:01:44. > :01:50.a good first dart. Treble 17 would have given her the opportunity, she

:01:51. > :01:59.only just missed it. Well, she cannot keep missing them, can she?

:02:00. > :02:04.She will! Trina will be back. 46 for Tina. Ashton being undone by her

:02:05. > :02:23.doubles, 13 misses now. I mean, they are the best of

:02:24. > :02:32.friends, Trina and Lisa, and perhaps you are thinking, maybe Lisa's

:02:33. > :02:35.problem is that she is too nice. She cannot finish and off against her

:02:36. > :02:45.good friend, Trina Gulliver, on the big stage. Well, they met at this

:02:46. > :03:00.stage last and Lisa won 2-0. She just missed 13 doubles in a row.

:03:01. > :03:03.Lisa's daughter, Danielle, watching on, hoping that mum starts to hit

:03:04. > :03:19.form. Danielle is a county player, as

:03:20. > :03:26.indeed is his sister, Lindsey. -- her sister. Go on!

:03:27. > :03:35.Did not manage a maximum, Trina, in a first round match.

:03:36. > :03:46.Good response. And Ashton on a finish.

:03:47. > :03:49.In fact, the last time Trina Gulliver hit a maximum on the

:03:50. > :04:13.Lakeside stage was in 2012. So this is for the set. Just the

:04:14. > :04:24.wrong side of the wire. Could do with a treble 20 here. So tens for

:04:25. > :04:35.Ashton to get into the match. Still she wants one, 16 missed doubles,

:04:36. > :04:41.yet to get one! Oh, I don't believe it!

:04:42. > :04:48.This is where the nine at the last visit comes back to haunt her a

:04:49. > :05:04.little, because she cannot now take out 152. Yeah, good cover on the

:05:05. > :05:13.19s, surely now... Double five. And still she cannot find it, that is 19

:05:14. > :05:18.Mr doubles! -- missed. This isn't a debut downed, this is the defending

:05:19. > :05:25.champion. And this is the nine times champion. For the set, double turn

:05:26. > :05:31.to take the third leg in a row, Trina takes the first set against

:05:32. > :05:43.Lisa Ashton. Are we about to see a big upset? And it would be one,

:05:44. > :05:49.wouldn't it? It would be huge. The only thing wrong with Lisa Ashton's

:05:50. > :05:59.darts, really, is the doubles, zero out of 19 is stretching credibility.

:06:00. > :06:07.Lisa recently becoming a grandma, we told you that Danielle was in the

:06:08. > :06:13.audience watching - not so sister Lindsey, though, because Amelia

:06:14. > :06:19.Rose, there she is, that is a lovely little grandchild, born nine weeks

:06:20. > :06:33.ago. And Trina's lovely little granddaughter. How sweet is that! --

:06:34. > :06:35.goddaughter. Lovely that she has asked Trina to be godmother as well,

:06:36. > :06:48.isn't it? I tell you what, all those missed

:06:49. > :06:55.doubles seem to be playing Trina Gulliver into some sort of warm

:06:56. > :07:00.here. She is first to a finish, and a good one. -- some sort of form.

:07:01. > :07:03.here. She is first to a finish, and Best I have seen Trina throw for a

:07:04. > :07:12.while, this. That is the story of the match so far, zero from 19. Tops

:07:13. > :07:21.That was a chance going begging, and again.

:07:22. > :07:27.That was a chance going begging, will it be punished? Well, she has

:07:28. > :07:35.missed 19, so treble 18 double 16, cannot now finished,

:07:36. > :07:40.another chance for Trina at double top, she has not hit double top yet.

:07:41. > :07:46.The three legs she has won were on double ten. By her own elevated

:07:47. > :07:54.standards, Lisa Ashton is just not at the races. And Trina Gulliver,

:07:55. > :07:58.well, it is perhaps a bit of a cliche to say rolling back the

:07:59. > :08:04.years, but she is actually playing better than I have seen a play for

:08:05. > :08:11.some time. A few years ago, they met in the quarterfinals, well, they did

:08:12. > :08:18.last year, and Lisa won, but in 2009 Trina was top seed and beat Lisa

:08:19. > :08:22.2-0. She has won four legs in a row, Trina, and she will keep winning

:08:23. > :08:30.legs and Leslie says that hitting doubles. -- unless Lisa starts. We

:08:31. > :08:34.are talking about the second set here, and Trina

:08:35. > :08:34.are talking about the second set a very good chance of winning this

:08:35. > :09:03.match now. The winner of this looking to book a

:09:04. > :09:10.place in the semifinal against either Aileen de Graaf or Anca

:09:11. > :09:15.Zijlstra, the two Dutch players who are going to be in the second

:09:16. > :09:18.quarterfinal on that side of the draw.

:09:19. > :09:24.quarterfinal on that side of the Dobromyslova, that was back on

:09:25. > :09:26.Saturday evening. That was a big upset. Seems a long time ago,

:09:27. > :09:36.doesn't it? Well it is a long time upset. Seems a long time ago,

:09:37. > :09:43.perhaps Lisa's problem, she has not played since Saturday. She

:09:44. > :09:52.perhaps Lisa's problem, she has not potential two darts checkout, 96,

:09:53. > :10:05.Gulliver cannot find the treble. To level up this second set. A nice

:10:06. > :10:09.leave, 141. This will be a heck of a checkout if she can find this,

:10:10. > :10:12.leave, 141. This will be a heck of a cannot be done now. I wonder, if

:10:13. > :10:17.Lisa does find a double, whether that will transform this match. It

:10:18. > :10:22.will certainly set her down, this cannot go on much longer. And it is

:10:23. > :10:49.there! Trina with the darts, though, she

:10:50. > :10:59.only has to hold twice and she is through. Some Hawaiian style shirts

:11:00. > :11:03.there, I did hear a whisper that Wayne Mardle is going to be in the

:11:04. > :11:11.audience tonight. I wonder if we will be seeing him at some stage, I

:11:12. > :11:16.think he is around. He could have been camouflaged in that last shot!

:11:17. > :11:19.Andy Fordham was talking about playing another visit, old

:11:20. > :11:25.Chewbacca! Back in the trebles, Trina. Good

:11:26. > :11:44.time to do that. She really is struggling, Lisa

:11:45. > :11:59.Ashton. Really wants to leave a finish. It

:12:00. > :12:04.as kind of spread to the rest of the game, lycee, although she is not

:12:05. > :12:17.slowing doubles particularly well, she is not hitting the numbers like

:12:18. > :12:26.she can. -- Lisa. She averaged over 90 against Trina at this stage last

:12:27. > :12:28.year, did Lisa Ashton. This time, doubles affected, but she is down on

:12:29. > :12:49.76. Lisa on 120, which is a lovely

:12:50. > :13:01.finish. Shanghai calmly 20s, Trina cannot now finished. Eight top of

:13:02. > :13:10.her game Lisa Ashton would take this out, against the throw. We just saw

:13:11. > :13:28.Sue, Trina's why. She is not quite there today. -- wife. One from seven

:13:29. > :13:34.on double tops, make it eight. She needs this.

:13:35. > :13:43.Treble 13 for double top, cannot now finished. Usually an 80 you are

:13:44. > :13:51.assured of at least one dart at a double, if you missed the treble,

:13:52. > :14:01.you hit the single 20. Treble ten, double ten, excuse me, for Trina.

:14:02. > :14:07.These are big darts. No, no. Well, she has busted, so Ashton now to

:14:08. > :14:20.take the lead, here she goes for 60. Tops, two darts added. -- at it. Oh

:14:21. > :14:22.no! Back to the double ten, then, for Trina. She hit this three times

:14:23. > :14:40.to win the first set. To hammer home the advantage? No.

:14:41. > :14:44.Tops for Ashton, for the break of throw, she is a set down. That has

:14:45. > :14:59.missed by a distance. Ten is now. One from 25 on the doubles for Lisa

:15:00. > :15:08.Ashton. Double two for Trina Gulliver. Non-score! Oh dear. So

:15:09. > :15:26.Ashton, a couple of tens now. She has made a mess of it. Well, she

:15:27. > :15:36.has missed seven in a row to win this leg.

:15:37. > :15:50.No score! 33 darts in this leg Trina Gulliver has had, Ashton now for

:15:51. > :15:59.double five, she has got it! And that is a break. Danielle, her

:16:00. > :16:19.daughter, bellowing her encouragement.

:16:20. > :16:32.A 32-dart leg, wasn't it? That slightly negates the advantage of

:16:33. > :16:33.throwing first, doesn't it?! The Paddington Club, she is having a

:16:34. > :17:00.good time, isn't she? -- Pennington. Until Trina... There is an Marie

:17:01. > :17:10.Peters. And Louise. She had a good win earlier on, really good win. --

:17:11. > :17:22.Ann-Louise Peters. I was thinking of summary else. What a match that was.

:17:23. > :17:27.Great game. Against Scott Mitchell. This one could go all the way as

:17:28. > :17:35.well. It could take a bit of time as well. Trina did go to a sudden-death

:17:36. > :17:41.leg in her first match, both players struggled on that occasion, and both

:17:42. > :17:46.are struggling today. Trina's finishing, actually, was pretty

:17:47. > :17:57.good, until she missed those ten darts to win that last leg.

:17:58. > :18:17.Gulliver needing to break the throw there to keep this said alive. --

:18:18. > :18:28.this set alive. Well, she took out 156 last year against the dead man.

:18:29. > :18:39.-- Deta Hedman. Double 19 for the leg.

:18:40. > :18:50.She has not hit double top yet, she has had plenty of goes at it, now

:18:51. > :19:02.she has! And the top seed back on level terms, it is one set each.

:19:03. > :19:10.Into a deciding set, if it gets to two legs at these here, then it is

:19:11. > :19:15.sudden-death, then they bully up for the advantage of throwing first, and

:19:16. > :19:20.whoever wins that leg wins. Your first maximum in-form years, there

:19:21. > :19:29.it is! On the Lakeside stage, that is! -- in four years. That is a 55th

:19:30. > :19:37.180 in the World Championship, but her first since 2012. And in the

:19:38. > :19:49.context of the match, a great start, that is four of them. Not a bad

:19:50. > :19:52.start. Steady tonne, well played. This is more like it, this is the

:19:53. > :19:59.Trina of old. She would dearly love This is more like it, this is the

:20:00. > :20:05.to be a double figures world champion. Won nine, but the last of

:20:06. > :20:13.them back in 2011. Good cushion here in this leg. A bit unlucky, that

:20:14. > :20:27.one, nice start. By her own standards, Lisa has not fired today.

:20:28. > :20:35.Not even close. So 141 for a break of throw at the start of this

:20:36. > :20:37.deciding set. Treble 19. She went for the 15s. It doesn't matter, she

:20:38. > :20:54.will be back. Good dart! Double top, she needs to start

:20:55. > :21:09.hitting doubles again. Well, it is a big check out, this,

:21:10. > :21:13.for Ashton, so Gulliver, in all probability will get another go, and

:21:14. > :21:16.for Ashton, so Gulliver, in all she does now. Cannot afford to miss

:21:17. > :21:22.for Ashton, so Gulliver, in all this, though. 13 misses in a row

:21:23. > :21:33.from Trina, Lisa had 19 missed doubles earlier in the match.

:21:34. > :21:40.Finally! Back in the double bed, and back in front. The number one seed

:21:41. > :21:42.and defending champion, Lisa Ashton, is behind and under pressure. That

:21:43. > :21:56.was a break of throw. If it does go all the way to a

:21:57. > :22:01.deciding leg, I think you would probably have to fancy Trina. She

:22:02. > :22:11.has played four final leg deciders at Lakeside and has won on each

:22:12. > :22:21.occasion, in 2002, and in two finals in 2002 and 2007, and then on Sunday

:22:22. > :22:25.evening against Deta Hedman. Looking purposeful, Trina Gulliver, and Lisa

:22:26. > :22:40.Ashton again fails to find the treble that matters.

:22:41. > :22:47.Trina Gulliver is such an important figure in the development of the

:22:48. > :22:56.sport in this country, awarded the MBE for her services to sport.

:22:57. > :23:22.Well deserved, as well. Averaged 95 in the first ever year at Lakeside,

:23:23. > :23:26.2001. There were doubters, whether the women's World Championship was

:23:27. > :23:28.worth staging on the Lakeside stage. That is 95 average silenced them

:23:29. > :23:42.all. Now there are none. 10% Julian Day

:23:43. > :23:57.is, that! To move within a leg victory. -- Julie Andrews. Cannot

:23:58. > :24:02.finish now. Good dart, Ashton, 150. Trina is in a good position here,

:24:03. > :24:13.and no checkout for Ashton. Gulliver now can go two up. She has hit this

:24:14. > :24:21.double ten four times. Double five has been more of a problem, she

:24:22. > :24:23.might want to bust of this. Lisa Ashton, I would expect, single 15

:24:24. > :24:38.for tops. Here we go. Oh! Dear, dear, dear, three doubles

:24:39. > :24:45.out of 33! She is having one of those days. She takes aim again at

:24:46. > :24:55.double ten, and again, and now asked double five again. Yes, there it is!

:24:56. > :25:11.We are on the brink of a major upset. Seems odd to say it when we

:25:12. > :25:21.are talking about the nine and time champion, but the weight Lisa Ashton

:25:22. > :25:32.has been throwing up late... Lisa Ashton was 2-1 on to win the

:25:33. > :25:41.tournament, never mind the match. If Ashton goes out, then it really does

:25:42. > :25:52.throw and wide open. And I tell you what that is looking ever more

:25:53. > :25:57.likely. She has missed 30 darts at a double, Lisa Ashton, 30! Good darts

:25:58. > :26:09.there, though, keeps her in with a shout.

:26:10. > :26:22.In no mood to be denied. 197 points away. Back-to-back 140s. Ann-Louise

:26:23. > :26:27.Peters is playing very well, if Lisa goes out, perhaps she will be the

:26:28. > :26:40.new favourite. Deta Hedman is still there. Only 43 from Trina. She wants

:26:41. > :26:45.the treble, no. Match point, then. This is makeable, a huge checkout,

:26:46. > :26:50.it would be the best she has ever had at these championships, if she

:26:51. > :26:56.were to do this. And no. So Lisa Ashton with the throw should be able

:26:57. > :27:11.to close this one out now to make it 2-1. Should, but will she? Double

:27:12. > :27:18.top, double ten, no just cannot buy a double. It is not there today,

:27:19. > :27:25.almost painful to watch when you know how well she can throw. 19 now

:27:26. > :27:30.would put her on two double top. There is the 19. Made no mistake,

:27:31. > :27:46.she Ely want to hit the big 19, this is match that. -- she really wanted

:27:47. > :27:54.to hit the big 19, this is match dart. To stay alive, Lisa Ashton,

:27:55. > :27:59.no, another chance. Gulliver needs 39, she has to tidy it up. Looking

:28:00. > :28:11.down the bottom, she was trying to get the 19, I think, no, double 16.

:28:12. > :28:20.No. Those were her first start at double 16 all match, she has missed

:28:21. > :28:28.three match darts, Trina Gulliver. This is her 40th dart at a double,

:28:29. > :28:35.she has only hit three of them. What a big dart to hit your fourth! She

:28:36. > :28:42.hangs on in there, now Trina Gulliver with the darts to throw for

:28:43. > :28:49.victory. She had a chance and did not take it. They are best mates,

:28:50. > :28:54.but there is no chatting up there, this is business. Good first dart,

:28:55. > :29:09.loads of room in there. So if Lisa Ashton wins this leg, we

:29:10. > :29:18.are into sudden death. If Trina wins it, she has won.

:29:19. > :29:34.Good dart. Did well to thread that threw for the treble. -- through.

:29:35. > :29:41.Not much in it, the advantage is Trina's, she has the darts. Treble

:29:42. > :29:57.19 now. Ashton needs a treble. She's got it.

:29:58. > :30:05.Not a vintage match, but it's exciting. It's tense and nobody is

:30:06. > :30:21.taking their eyes off it. Doubles have been excruciating. They would

:30:22. > :30:27.both admit that. Lisa is four from 40, Trina is six from 33 on the

:30:28. > :30:39.doubles. Three of those she missed for the match. Trina first to

:30:40. > :30:52.finish. Remember, Gulliver, if she wins this leg, takes the match. Sue

:30:53. > :31:00.can't watch. Treble 20. Yes! Double 14, she has another chance to win

:31:01. > :31:05.it! 121 for Ashton to keep the match alive. Send it to sudden death.

:31:06. > :31:11.Treble 17 would leave the bull's-eye. Wasn't really near, was

:31:12. > :31:19.it? Checking with the referee where she is. Her daughter can hardly bear

:31:20. > :31:21.to watch. So, for the match, for Trina Gulliver, nine time champion,

:31:22. > :31:40.double seven now. No, still no. Well, 64. She'll be

:31:41. > :31:48.looking for 16s and eights. To send it to sudden death. She has missed

:31:49. > :32:00.again. Well, she has missed seven for it. But not eight! Trina

:32:01. > :32:03.Gulliver, the nine time champion, causes major upset, she knocks out

:32:04. > :32:10.the two time defending champion Lisa Ashton. Neither player at their best

:32:11. > :32:17.but my goodness me it was exciting, nervy, tens. And Trina, the Northern

:32:18. > :32:20.girl, through to another semifinal. Ladies and gentlemen we say goodbye

:32:21. > :32:27.to a wonderful champion from the past two years, come on, Lisa

:32:28. > :32:36.Ashton! Hot on the Trail of a 10th world title, into the semifinals,

:32:37. > :32:56.the golden goal, Trina Gulliver! DANCE MUSIC COMMENTATOR: Gulliver

:32:57. > :33:01.two wins away from a 10th world title. Most people had given up on

:33:02. > :33:04.that dream. She never, she's through, it says everything about

:33:05. > :33:08.the advancement of the women's game in the last few years when I say we

:33:09. > :33:14.were wrecked Spedding much, much better. For Trina, the win is huge.

:33:15. > :33:19.-- we were expecting much better. Lisa has been blazing a trail, Trina

:33:20. > :33:22.went into it ten. Underdog. They met in the middle. A bizarre game of

:33:23. > :33:30.darts. 19 throws at in the middle. A bizarre game of

:33:31. > :33:36.hit one, Lisa, she had one 42 times, only hit four out of 42 throws at a

:33:37. > :33:39.double. The bitter centage normally 40%, it was ten. You got a better

:33:40. > :33:47.percentage in your own level spelling, Bobby. -- the percentage.

:33:48. > :33:52.We don't expect it from her. The nerves spread between the two. I've

:33:53. > :33:57.never seen Lisa play that bad. All the times I've seen her. She scored

:33:58. > :34:01.well the first set, couldn't hit a double, the second I thought she was

:34:02. > :34:07.going to get down 2-0, but Trina kept tearing. I wonder if there was

:34:08. > :34:09.anything in the preparation? We had the game before, Scott Mitchell and

:34:10. > :34:13.Mark Begin you went the game before, Scott Mitchell and

:34:14. > :34:18.man hour longer than most expected. It was a long game, they probably

:34:19. > :34:23.thought, they'll be on in a minute, another hour later. That is what

:34:24. > :34:26.tyres you out. When you do a tournament you have to take that,

:34:27. > :34:33.you have to have the different hours between the game. You could play an

:34:34. > :34:38.hour, an hour and a half later. It became a war of attrition, about

:34:39. > :34:43.hitting that winning double. Trina did when most people didn't expect

:34:44. > :34:47.it, what a bizarre game! I know, to be fair I was very lucky there

:34:48. > :34:54.because she missed so many doubles, she missed so many doubles. First 19

:34:55. > :35:00.doubles she missed. Yes! That many was it? It must really throw you off

:35:01. > :35:03.when you are thinking, what's going on? You have an image of what you

:35:04. > :35:07.can expect 99 times out of a hundred against Lisa. We both missed doubles

:35:08. > :35:11.but to start she was missing them all the time, it got in her head a

:35:12. > :35:16.little bit as well, I think. Very fortunate to get through. I enjoyed

:35:17. > :35:22.the game. This is something no one was predicting, have you gone to the

:35:23. > :35:28.bookmakers and looked at the odds two hours ago, the Golden girl, nine

:35:29. > :35:32.titles, the 10th isn't coming because Lisa Ashton is on fire and

:35:33. > :35:36.this new wave of players coming through, rocking and rolling, the

:35:37. > :35:40.dream is alive, two wins away, you must be as nervous as you were the

:35:41. > :35:43.first time you played here. Absolutely, I'm not finished yet,

:35:44. > :35:50.let's put it that way. Really enjoyed today. Lucky at times,

:35:51. > :35:55.missed doubles from Lisa. She is a great sport and a great mate. The

:35:56. > :36:00.golden girl is true. What a day for women starts, none of today's been

:36:01. > :36:01.predictable, earlier we had history on the lakeside stage. I'll not

:36:02. > :36:04.spoil it. And Louise Peters against Surrey

:36:05. > :36:18.Jones, 1-1. We will join it now. Nip and tuck all the way, if it goes

:36:19. > :36:31.to two legs apiece, we'd have sudden death.

:36:32. > :36:40.Still a way to go yet, it would hardly be a major surprise, George,

:36:41. > :36:41.very well matched, these two. Yeah. Jones, seventh seed, but nothing in

:36:42. > :36:59.it. That was not a good visit. Amla Wii is not really capitalising

:37:00. > :37:16.on an opportunity to put some pressure on. -- Ann-Louise.

:37:17. > :37:23.Ann-Louise had a break of the game, six or seven years out before

:37:24. > :37:40.returning in 2013. Nice to see her back.

:37:41. > :38:05.The way this is going, just one big score could be crucial. One tonne 80

:38:06. > :38:11.from either. -- ton. Not finding the treble. Where has it gone?

:38:12. > :38:21.Frustration. That is Zoe's brother. Lurking in the shadows. Rubbing his

:38:22. > :38:23.hands anxiously. Get himself nicely turned out, doesn't he? He likes a

:38:24. > :38:49.tie. Right, face to hold throw. A good

:38:50. > :39:02.dart. 160 can be done, still can. Topps! Hello! 160! The best checkout

:39:03. > :39:07.in the women's tournament this year. And she's ahead 2-0, only needs one

:39:08. > :39:14.more with the throw. And she goes through into the semis. Stunning.

:39:15. > :39:23.From the Danish diamond. Can she hold her nerve for another big, big

:39:24. > :39:30.Lakeside win? There's your answer immediately. Doesn't it often happen

:39:31. > :39:34.when you have a huge check out like that, the adrenaline going, the

:39:35. > :39:40.concentration has been so high, then the return and it's not quite the

:39:41. > :39:45.same. Zoe straightaway puts herself clear on this set. Peters is

:39:46. > :39:50.throwing for the match. Highest ever ladies checkout, I'm being told by

:39:51. > :39:57.our statistician wizards behind the scene. Congratulations to Ann-Louise

:39:58. > :40:09.Peters. Fabulous dart, it really was. But the job is not done. Big

:40:10. > :40:23.visit here. And she will believe. She's closing in. Can she account

:40:24. > :40:30.for the number seven seed, Zoe Jones? D great chance, still has the

:40:31. > :40:45.advantage on the throw. It's not great but 60 keeps her well clear.

:40:46. > :40:51.Ton on. Here we go. Here we go! 180! Boy, did she need that?! And what a

:40:52. > :41:07.response now from Peters. Two in. 140. Wow, this might have to go out.

:41:08. > :41:12.It won't do. So Peters with 74 for a semifinal place. Here she goes,

:41:13. > :41:21.steadied herself, composes herself, takes her time... 20 would leave

:41:22. > :41:30.tops. Topps now for the match. Pulled it. Joan has held her nerve

:41:31. > :41:39.when she needed to break... Zoe held her nerve. This has to be in. It

:41:40. > :41:46.isn't. Is that it? There was the agony. Do we now see the ecstasy?

:41:47. > :41:56.Double 10 for Peters. That is a loose one, double 7. Good dart,

:41:57. > :42:00.she's done it again! And Ann-Louise Peters from Denmark has produced a

:42:01. > :42:04.tremendous performance, the best ever checkout we've seen in the

:42:05. > :42:10.women's World Championship, 160, eventually coming home reused in

:42:11. > :42:18.smiles as the winner against Zoe Jones by 2-1. STUDIO: What a

:42:19. > :42:21.performance from Ann-Louise. This is the evening's line-up, which will

:42:22. > :42:28.start before we get our dinner. Unbelievable. Stanley had meant we

:42:29. > :42:35.are looking forward to. The Scot weight encounter is the one we're

:42:36. > :42:39.looking forward to. How could use up-to-date if possible? I'm worn out

:42:40. > :42:47.if want the truth, it's exciting, I've really enjoys the darts today.

:42:48. > :42:51.Scott was lucky, Lisa's form deserted her. I really enjoyed the

:42:52. > :42:58.day, but I'm worn out, thinking 1's going to win, standing up, sitting

:42:59. > :43:02.down... It's entertaining. I'll get you a comfy seat, rub your feet,

:43:03. > :43:08.don't worry about that. We're done for today, back with the highlights

:43:09. > :43:11.later tonight. At 11:15pm, concentrating on the evening

:43:12. > :43:13.session. This afternoon we've had simply the best, simply the

:43:14. > :43:18.champion, simply the biggest upset of the tournament so far. Bobby

:43:19. > :43:22.George, get your socks and shoes! LAUGHTER
