Quarter-Finals

:01:42. > :01:56.Speaking of mouth organs, we say about... A couple of champions. We

:01:57. > :01:57.are not going anywhere until we see the identity of our 1st 2

:01:58. > :02:11.semifinalists. The 1st quarterfinal sees Wesley

:02:12. > :02:17.Harms bang the drum is. Hoping he can re- find that kind of form

:02:18. > :02:22.again. Standing in his way is Jamie Hughes. The darts to be adored,

:02:23. > :02:28.hell-bent in showing the nation why he is ranked four. An absolute

:02:29. > :02:35.belter. Bent around, so far, made of stone, but facing his toughest task

:02:36. > :02:38.yet, Scott Waites, the resurrection, the 2013 champion, fit for the 1st

:02:39. > :02:46.time in ages, he will fancy it today. 1st up, it is Hamas against

:02:47. > :02:51.Hughes and it is fair to say Jamie feels he has a point to prove.

:02:52. > :02:56.He spoke to Rob Walker. Congratulations, we talk about your

:02:57. > :03:00.1st Lakeside quarterfinal. After both matches, you have said to me in

:03:01. > :03:07.the players bar, I have not good enough, that was not good enough.

:03:08. > :03:12.People might look at the results and think I am playing well but I know I

:03:13. > :03:16.am only playing probably 2nd gear. There are more gears to come but

:03:17. > :03:22.it's been good enough so far. If it is needed, I can pull it out. What

:03:23. > :03:27.makes you believe you have a better game in you? I won a tournament in

:03:28. > :03:32.the Sun called the British pentathlon. No ranking points but

:03:33. > :03:39.it's prestigious. You play all day. It's over a very long format. That

:03:40. > :03:46.is where I know I can play better. That is where comes from. How

:03:47. > :03:51.excited are you to have this opportunity to take on Wesley Harms

:03:52. > :03:56.for a place in the semifinals? I'm really looking forward to it, it is

:03:57. > :04:03.over a longer format and hopefully I can relax a bit more and my capital

:04:04. > :04:08.a game will come out. What would it mean to get into the semifinals?

:04:09. > :04:12.That was the aim when I came, because you automatically get an

:04:13. > :04:18.invite next year which would mean I would not have to travel around as

:04:19. > :04:22.much, I could pick and choose. And the big hump up in prize money means

:04:23. > :04:32.a lot. It would mean everything. The best of luck. Thank you. Nobody can

:04:33. > :04:39.separate these two, whether you are the bookies or looking at the stats.

:04:40. > :04:44.Not much between them. Maybe experience is one thing and it is

:04:45. > :04:49.4-3 in the head-to-head at worth noting that Wesley Harms has won the

:04:50. > :04:57.last four. If you look at Jamie's record, 3-0 against Ross Montgomery,

:04:58. > :05:04.he beat Gary Robson, but what we have seen, he is beside himself with

:05:05. > :05:08.anger at how he has played. He has not played well but he has got this

:05:09. > :05:18.far not playing well because his opponents have been worse. He has

:05:19. > :05:25.got to buck his ideas up because if he wins he has a tough game next

:05:26. > :05:34.time. His average is 83, 86, that's not good enough. Glen Durrant is

:05:35. > :05:38.around mid 90s, so is Scott Waites. I saw him this morning and he said

:05:39. > :05:44.he was up for it and he was going to smash it to bits. He is a good

:05:45. > :05:52.player, he is, but he has not performed. He didn't have too.

:05:53. > :05:57.Because they are so equal, obviously one has two up their game. It is a

:05:58. > :06:04.tight game but it won't be high-scoring. I hope you're wrong!

:06:05. > :06:11.So do I, but it will be close because their talent is the same but

:06:12. > :06:16.one has to go up a bit. Wesley has gone all the way in each of his

:06:17. > :06:25.games. If it is down to a close one, all this week he is battle hardened

:06:26. > :06:32.to that. He had a tougher game but he hit the doubles and he won. As a

:06:33. > :06:40.match, it wasn't exciting but I'm looking forward to see how they

:06:41. > :06:48.play. I think we might see the real Wesley or Jamie.

:06:49. > :06:52.Let's get a proper sweat on and go dour masters of ceremonies, Richard

:06:53. > :07:01.Ashdown. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of

:07:02. > :07:06.the British Darts Organisation, welcome to the 2016 Lakeside World

:07:07. > :07:15.Championships. It is quarterfinals day here at the home of world darts,

:07:16. > :07:22.the Lakeside! CHEERING We now introduced, from the

:08:48. > :09:31.MUSIC: Hi Ho Silver Lining by Jeff Beck.

:09:32. > :09:41.Both Wesley Harms and Jamie Hughes, it is time for the tungsten to do

:09:42. > :09:46.the talking. For one the semifinal and some form of redemption but for

:09:47. > :09:48.the other no more excuses. Exercising their gob for the BBC,

:09:49. > :10:02.Tony Green and Bastos Alexander. COMMENTATOR: Quarterfinals at the

:10:03. > :10:07.Lakeside and who do you fancy? The 29-year-old from Tipton in the West

:10:08. > :10:12.Midlands, in his first ever Lakeside quarterfinal, or the 31-year-old who

:10:13. > :10:18.has twice been to the semifinals, Sparky Wesley Harms from Holland? He

:10:19. > :10:24.got to the semifinals on debut in 2012 and again in 2013 but an early

:10:25. > :10:30.exit in each of the past two years. Jamie Hughes, this is all a bit of a

:10:31. > :10:36.bonus, he has never been beyond the second round before this week. A

:10:37. > :10:40.place in the semifinals up for grabs, England against Holland.

:10:41. > :10:46.Ladies and gentlemen, the best of nine sets, it is Jamie to throw

:10:47. > :10:54.first, came on. It is the number four seed Jamie Hughes getting as

:10:55. > :11:02.under way. -- game on. Who do you fancy? Wesley, to be honest, but you

:11:03. > :11:10.never know. I think the form of Wesley will show. They have met each

:11:11. > :11:15.other seven times in the past. Jamie has won three of those and Wesley

:11:16. > :11:23.four Hummer including the last four that they have played.

:11:24. > :11:35.Wesley is the number five seed, Jamie Hughes is the fourth seed.

:11:36. > :11:44.There really isn't much to separate them. Fourth seed against

:11:45. > :11:49.fifth-seeded, they are both 30 give or take a year, Jamie has won five

:11:50. > :12:12.ranking titles, Wesley has eight. It's early days, just trying to get

:12:13. > :12:25.their range. That's good. The scoring in this leg, ton, 137, 134,

:12:26. > :12:39.from Jamie Hughes. That's good. It is good. This is to hold his throw.

:12:40. > :12:42.In the first leg of the match. 20, that leaves double 5. He pulled

:12:43. > :12:52.that. It's the bull. It is the bull! Harm

:12:53. > :13:19.is there. Well, well, well, what a way to

:13:20. > :13:25.start, a 122 checkout from Wesley Harms ending on the bull, his

:13:26. > :13:31.highest checkout of the week so far, stealing the leg against the darts.

:13:32. > :14:33.This is a very interesting match. He needed that after two quiet visit

:14:34. > :14:59.to the oche, Wesley Harms. Levels it off. Just 36 points.

:15:00. > :15:17.Leaving 127, not bad, better here for Wesley. Yes, they are up and

:15:18. > :15:22.going. 127 can be done. Treble 19 and bull. Wesley coming to the oche

:15:23. > :15:46.for double top. That's the double shot. Two out of

:15:47. > :15:53.two on the doubles from Wesley Harms, double top and bullseye. In

:15:54. > :16:01.his two matches getting to this stage against Asada and Williams he

:16:02. > :16:03.averaged 87 but is capable of a lot more. His checkout percentage was

:16:04. > :16:31.33. The bishop is back. Oh yes! They are loving it already.

:16:32. > :16:33.Two and the bid legs into the match and we have already had two macro

:16:34. > :16:58.maximums -- two and a bit. Not looking very happy. Something

:16:59. > :17:08.has happened in Rome. OK, Jamie, let's see it. No outshot for Wesley

:17:09. > :17:19.so he will be coming back. He is trying to pressure the 78 and

:17:20. > :17:52.doing a pretty good job. Double 16. OK, bull. Would have left

:17:53. > :17:59.double 16 if he had hit it but as it happens... He went for 25 and bull

:18:00. > :18:16.and he hit the bull. It's all happening. That is three missed

:18:17. > :18:17.doubles for Jamie Hughes. But Wesley has the darts and this is for the

:18:18. > :18:41.set. Jamie needs to beat that. Plenty of

:18:42. > :19:03.room. Still plenty! Already up and roaring. This will do nicely.

:19:04. > :19:31.Really good scoring. Jamie Hughes must win this leg of course. To

:19:32. > :19:40.extend the set. Going about it very nicely just at the minute. 96

:19:41. > :19:59.wanted. Treble 20, double 18 is the shot.

:20:00. > :20:17.Yes, treble 19. Very near. OK, to break act and take us into a

:20:18. > :20:28.deciding leg, there it is -- break back.

:20:29. > :20:34.Very interesting match, who is going to take the first set? We will learn

:20:35. > :20:52.shortly. Jamie Hughes only averaged 83 in his

:20:53. > :21:01.first two matches. He did what he needed to do to get past Montgomery

:21:02. > :21:11.and Madars Razma but this is much better. 140, ton, and remember, this

:21:12. > :21:15.is for the first set. You would not expect to get through to the

:21:16. > :21:27.semifinals of the World Championship averaging south of 90. Not really.

:21:28. > :21:38.That will take Hughes's average above 100. They are all up in the

:21:39. > :21:45.air now. 81. For an 11th dart leg and the set. Treble 19, double 12.

:21:46. > :22:28.He is feeling it now! First to five sets in the

:22:29. > :22:37.quarterfinals. Each set the first to three legs. Lots of time for lots of

:22:38. > :22:47.moment swings but at the moment it is all with Jamie Hughes. The lad

:22:48. > :22:55.from the Black Country hitting the red bit. How does it feel to win a

:22:56. > :23:07.set with an 11th dart leg? That is how. And from 2-0 down.

:23:08. > :23:12.But Wesley Harms is first to finish here. That would have equalled the

:23:13. > :23:22.highest checkout of the week so far. Another shot out. Troubled 20. He's

:23:23. > :23:30.coming down -- treble 20. Extreme, he has it treble 16 so

:23:31. > :23:58.double 4. The first double he has missed,

:23:59. > :24:11.Wesley Harms. Double top. Yes. It's there.

:24:12. > :24:23.He is scoring and he is not missing doubles. My, is he scoring? That is

:24:24. > :24:30.as good as a maximum. These are championship darts.

:24:31. > :24:57.Have a look at his average, Jamie Hughes. 105.2. That wins most

:24:58. > :25:03.matches anywhere. He has been magic. The overall average of four Harms is

:25:04. > :25:07.98.6. Jamie Hughes missed his first three darts at the doubles but has

:25:08. > :25:34.hit his next four. Bull or treble 14. He will be back,

:25:35. > :25:51.Harms is on 201, this is powerful scoring from Jamie Hughes.

:25:52. > :26:04.of Jamie Hughes. Not really threatening on 160. Double 18.

:26:05. > :26:25.Nice visit from Wesley Harms and now this double 18 is under pressure.

:26:26. > :26:41.For a fifth leg in a road, there is. -- in a row. Wesley looking

:26:42. > :27:03.down, he is in trouble. One of the top players in the Netherlands.

:27:04. > :27:13.Where is the other one? Was that the two Rameez? It was one of them. --

:27:14. > :27:44.the two Ronnies. That's better. At last, he will not

:27:45. > :27:49.give in, Harms. He really wants to hold his throw here, he has only had

:27:50. > :27:59.one dart at a double since the second leg of the match. Bull. Oh! A

:28:00. > :28:08.fraction away. He will be back but he would have liked to have finished

:28:09. > :28:17.that. It would have equalled the highest checkout of the week. The

:28:18. > :28:28.check for that is currently on its way to Scott Mitchell. Just one dart

:28:29. > :28:32.at double 4 and he has missed it twice now. Still waiting for a

:28:33. > :28:41.finish from Hughes. Jamie with the darts, throwing for

:28:42. > :29:28.the set. Jamie Hughes with a fifth maximum,

:29:29. > :29:38.he has also had a 177. Hello! That is six out of six! Could we be

:29:39. > :29:41.seeing a little bit of history? He has been feeling it. He has been

:29:42. > :30:06.hitting them. Can he take out 141? It was feared to be done. -- it was

:30:07. > :30:13.there to be done. What has he had for breakfast this morning?

:30:14. > :30:33.Game, shot and the 2nd set, Jamie Hughes. 3rd set, 1st leg, Jamie to

:30:34. > :30:41.throw 1st. Game on. 2- 0 in sets, Jamie Hughes, champions darts,

:30:42. > :30:45.absolutely brilliant. And he is still peppering in the treble 20.

:30:46. > :30:53.That was an 11 dart leg to win the 2nd set, he also threw in an 11 dart

:30:54. > :30:55.leg to win the 1st. His average north of 102. Wesley is doing

:30:56. > :31:06.nothing wrong. He missed the 1st 3, Jamie Hughes,

:31:07. > :31:12.but since then, it has been brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

:31:13. > :31:17.Scoring, finishing, you name it. Can he keep it up? Remember, it is the

:31:18. > :31:28.race to 5 sets in the quarterfinal. The red-hot favourite this week was

:31:29. > :31:32.Glen Durrant, I think the tide has changed. Jamie Hughes, if he can

:31:33. > :31:45.keep this up... Averaging just 83, Jamie, in his 1st

:31:46. > :31:51.2 matches. He told anyone who would listen that he had this in, I'm not

:31:52. > :31:58.sure everyone believed him. But they believe him now, can he keep it up,

:31:59. > :32:13.that is the thing. Over, potentially, 9 sets. Treble 16...

:32:14. > :32:35.He is really not throwing badly, Wesley Harms. He is chucking in a

:32:36. > :32:39.ton-40, that was his 9th, averaging almost 98. But he is being blasted

:32:40. > :33:03.off the board at the moment. Never over till the last dart is

:33:04. > :33:07.thrown. We saw yesterday, with Scott Waites and geared in force, how much

:33:08. > :33:28.can change. -- Geert de Vos. There it is. 180! 140, 140, 180...

:33:29. > :33:34.41 left. We have had 9 maximums this match and I kind of Count 177 as 1

:33:35. > :33:42.as well, for an 11 dart leg of his own... Game, shot and the 2nd leg,

:33:43. > :33:49.Wesley Harms. 3rd leg, Jamie to throw 1st. Game on.

:33:50. > :33:56.He was 2- 0 up in the 1st set, checked out 122, a bullseye, the 1st

:33:57. > :34:03.leg of the match, we thought Wesley might run away with that. Jamie ran

:34:04. > :34:09.up through the gears. He won the 1st set, the 2nd... Both with an 11 dart

:34:10. > :34:14.leg. We are all square in the 3rd, plenty of time, as we keep saying, a

:34:15. > :34:20.race to 5 sets, for lots of momentum swings. I must say, we are getting

:34:21. > :34:43.the best of order. What a match! So far, this is the match of the

:34:44. > :34:49.week. It could be going all the way, you never know. I hope they keep up

:34:50. > :35:06.the standard, if they keep this up, 9 sets... We are in for a treat!

:35:07. > :35:19.Unusually quiet, this. Just the 1 ton-40. Still in charge, Jamie,

:35:20. > :35:28.office. He has the darts. Yes, a finish on 153...

:35:29. > :36:03.216, Wesley Harms. How much will he take out of it? Yes, plenty, plenty!

:36:04. > :36:08.He should have to darts. He will have to darts. To move ahead in this

:36:09. > :36:19.set. He has something in his left eye.

:36:20. > :37:01.I wonder if this little 1 of missed doubles might shift the momentum in

:37:02. > :37:07.the way of Holland. He has to take his chance and he does.

:37:08. > :37:17.Here we go. Jamie seems to be struggling, there is something in

:37:18. > :37:28.his eye... Looks OK from here. Yes, I wonder if

:37:29. > :37:35.it affected him? Yes, it will have done. 5 missed darts in that a 3rd

:37:36. > :37:41.leg, from Jamie. He seems to be back, well enough.

:37:42. > :37:45.He has to break here, Jamie, to extend the set. And Wesley is in no

:37:46. > :37:54.mood to let that happen. Plenty of room.

:37:55. > :38:06.CHEERING Plenty of room.

:38:07. > :38:23.118, they are up in their seats again, this is magic.

:38:24. > :38:28.These are the darts he told us he could produce on that stage and he

:38:29. > :38:33.is delivering in could produce on that stage and he

:38:34. > :38:38.finish all ready. A chance to break the throw and take it into a

:38:39. > :38:55.deciding leg. Wesley is cross, look at that. 18... Bullseye. Game, shot

:38:56. > :39:00.and the 3rd leg, Jamie Hughes. He did not even wipe his feet.

:39:01. > :39:06.Geometric centre of the dart board and we are going all the way in this

:39:07. > :39:14.3rd set. Dear me. I hope you are enjoying this at home, and everyone

:39:15. > :39:16.here. I know that we are. We have seen some matches but my... This has

:39:17. > :39:37.been great! It should come down, 19, after that

:39:38. > :39:43.1st dart. OK, and opening for Wesley Harms to take the set. He has to

:39:44. > :39:51.break the throw to do it. Hello... There is no link. -- and opening.

:39:52. > :39:57.Unlucky with that 3rd dart but he would have taken 135 if you had

:39:58. > :40:07.offered it to him. No doubt. Jamie moss to start finding some trebles.

:40:08. > :40:20.A very big leg in the context of the match. 3- 0, 2- 1, the difference.

:40:21. > :40:27.If Hughes wins, he is 3 up in the race to 5. If Wesley Harms WinZip,

:40:28. > :40:32.it is up for anybody. Nice finish. -- wins it. Come on, Wesley. Keep

:40:33. > :40:47.this going. Hot favourite, Jamie. He has not

:40:48. > :41:02.found the trebles that he has needed in this leg. Back 239.

:41:03. > :41:29.A finish, 139? Take it away. He cannot finish now. The pressure will

:41:30. > :41:38.be on. Can he get the trouble? Yes! OK, on the way, 2- 1. -- treble. And

:41:39. > :41:48.he does it. Game, shot and the 3rd set, Wesley Harms. What a big dart,

:41:49. > :41:57.40 big moment. -- 40 big moment. It is only 2- 1, Jamie Hughes. Back in

:41:58. > :42:06.the match. Back at the ochie with the darts to start this 4th set.

:42:07. > :42:11.That was wayward, wasn't it? Swings and roundabouts.

:42:12. > :42:25.Wesley is back in it and he knows it. Swings and roundabouts!

:42:26. > :42:34.I am thoroughly enjoying it, though, and I am sure everyone is at home.

:42:35. > :42:50.They will be in my family, anyway. They will be glued to it.

:42:51. > :43:03.Not as fluent as he has been. Went through a purple patch of about 8 or

:43:04. > :43:11.9 legs, he was averaging higher than 100, hitting his doubles, those

:43:12. > :43:13.darts that are just finishing outside the treble 20 were going in

:43:14. > :43:26.but here we go, is he back? Averaging only 87. That is in the

:43:27. > :43:32.3rd set, Jamie Hughes. When it came to it, despite that bullseye finish

:43:33. > :43:44.to break, he could not engineer away to hold his throw and move 3 ahead.

:43:45. > :43:57.The treble 20 bed... Well done. Great cover shot, 122 is a finish.

:43:58. > :44:17.No finish for Wesley Harms, a chance for Jamie Hughes to pinch 1. He will

:44:18. > :44:28.want double top when he comes back. He has fought back. Double top...

:44:29. > :45:00.Secondly, Jamie to throw 1st. -- 2nd leg. Hello... They really have been

:45:01. > :45:06.swinging for Jamie Hughes. Once again, he starts a leg perfectly but

:45:07. > :45:15.look at this from Wesley... What a match. It has had everything except

:45:16. > :45:17.a winner yet! We would not say no to a 9 dart leg, Tony, if you are

:45:18. > :45:34.offering! Wouldn't it be nice? He came close last year, Martin

:45:35. > :45:46.Adams. The width of a double 12-wire away. Eight perfect darts and one

:45:47. > :45:52.just a millimetre off course. Stalwart is: Oh, just watching that

:45:53. > :46:01.one there. Martin, a great man, a great player. He 's been a credit to

:46:02. > :46:03.the game and still is. Three-time world champion, 23 time World

:46:04. > :46:17.Championship competitor. Still a bit to do, Wesley. Still

:46:18. > :46:23.lots to do. Shaking his head. Well, he will not

:46:24. > :46:30.leave a finish, so, Jamie will feel he has all the time in the world to

:46:31. > :46:34.move into a two-leg lead. 17... There it is. Tops: And there

:46:35. > :46:49.we are. That is why it is so important to

:46:50. > :46:54.pressure the throw. He never looked like missing that double top, not

:46:55. > :47:00.with Wesley back on 200 and change. Well, Wesley really out of it there

:47:01. > :47:17.in that leg. I can't believe it. So, now Jamie, with every opportunity.

:47:18. > :47:29.Back in the grove. -- groove.

:47:30. > :47:34.There is a break after this fourth set and a group of Dutch

:47:35. > :47:37.There is a break after this fourth wearing orange

:47:38. > :47:40.There is a break after this fourth of us, have decided to go to the

:47:41. > :47:43.There is a break after this fourth for an early drink. It think they

:47:44. > :47:46.may be a little premature because Wesley's on his way to holding

:47:47. > :47:51.may be a little premature because throw, you would think, in this leg.

:47:52. > :48:06.Yes, it is looking good. He's on a finish of 1 6 1. 1. 6

:48:07. > :48:21.-- 161. OK it will do. Left 96. Good

:48:22. > :48:27.thinking. That little five there. That was Yolanda behind those hands,

:48:28. > :48:31.Wesley's girlfriend, hoping against hope, that he can take out 9 6.

:48:32. > :48:33.Treble 20. .

:48:34. > :48:56.Treble 20. Left double shot, but no shot for

:48:57. > :49:06.Jamie. Well, 140 if he comes back.

:49:07. > :49:18.This is for the set. It says it all, that look from Yolanda. He'll have

:49:19. > :49:25.two more darts. Two more to hold this throw. Wesley

:49:26. > :49:30.Harms - he's missed three already. Oh, he's bust it.

:49:31. > :49:33.Harms - he's missed three already. fans n the orange coats, knew

:49:34. > :49:39.Harms - he's missed three already. they were doing. He's let Jamie in.

:49:40. > :49:48.Well, he had the Yes.

:49:49. > :50:02.Well, he had the bounced back to take that set by

:50:03. > :50:07.three legs. Is he on his way to the semis? Well, we were hoping one of

:50:08. > :50:14.these players would catch fire after two sets. We had to call the fire

:50:15. > :50:22.brigade for Jamie Hughes. Five will take him through to the

:50:23. > :50:26.semi-final. He's been as was said telling everybody the darts he has

:50:27. > :50:31.and we saw them in those first two sets. He must have heard me earlier

:50:32. > :50:37.on saying he wasn't scoring very well. 180, brilliant. First eight

:50:38. > :50:44.legs, unbelievable. 107 average. He's crept down just a bit, just

:50:45. > :50:51.under 100. Kept doing that - 100-plus. Hard to beat a guy doing

:50:52. > :50:55.that. He set the tone can 122. He was averaging the sets himself in

:50:56. > :51:00.the first two sets. He has played all right. Jamie hit all the

:51:01. > :51:05.doubles. He had a chance set of five. I have done it - we have all

:51:06. > :51:09.done it - gone out and missed a big number. Hit a 20 instead of a 1.

:51:10. > :51:15.Just one dart can change the game. That is one of two 11 darters we saw

:51:16. > :51:20.earlier on from Jamie Hughes. He lost the third set. Wesley won. That

:51:21. > :51:24.if anything I thought the fourth set was the most impressive from Jamie

:51:25. > :51:28.Hughes. He had to dig in. The old Jamie Hughes came back in the third

:51:29. > :51:33.set. He averaged 190 in that and he had to pull himself up by the boot

:51:34. > :51:37.straps and he did that. You don't often see guys maintain that sort of

:51:38. > :51:42.game. If they win that then they will win everything they are doing.

:51:43. > :51:46.They play reel good, two or three sets and somehow they go asleep and

:51:47. > :51:51.then they have to wake up again and come back how they were playing. He

:51:52. > :51:56.has to play the way he's doing, scoring well, finishing the doubles.

:51:57. > :52:00.Right focussed he is. He's getting annoyed with himself. In the

:52:01. > :52:07.previous games he didn't look like that. He's up today. What about

:52:08. > :52:12.Wesley in the first couple of sets, averaging 97, 98, from what we are

:52:13. > :52:19.seeing here at the Lakeside he will win every game and two sets down

:52:20. > :52:24.must be disheartening. You can tell by his body language. He tries so

:52:25. > :52:27.hard. He has not had the break. After the break it can sometimes

:52:28. > :52:33.change. The player that is not playing well comes back and you

:52:34. > :52:38.think, he's a different guy. Or he comes back... The next set is

:52:39. > :52:44.everything. It might be 3-1 to Jamie Hughes. He doesn't have to break

:52:45. > :52:49.Wesley to go 4-1 up and one set away from the semi-final. If he has three

:52:50. > :52:53.more good legs in his throw, le be within spitting distance. If he

:52:54. > :52:59.loses the set when he comes out, Wesley has to hold it to go 3-3. It

:53:00. > :53:04.can change so quick. You think you bully them and all of a sudden you

:53:05. > :53:10.are not bullying them and they beat you up bad, don't they? I said it

:53:11. > :53:22.many times - I hope he comes back and pushes himself. Finish 2122.

:53:23. > :53:27.Wesley Harms. Harms -- 122. Three thrown in as well from Wesley.

:53:28. > :53:34.So it is really got the crowd going this afternoon as well. Our money

:53:35. > :53:39.was on the most entertaining game - the one after this. It will be a

:53:40. > :53:46.ding-dong that will be. How about 180s do you think then? The rest of

:53:47. > :53:51.the game? I think Jamie might win this set and then tighten up up

:53:52. > :54:00.another bit. I say seven. For one guy? In this game. How much? No. It

:54:01. > :54:08.is way too early in the day for that!

:54:09. > :54:15.It is still kind of anyone's, isn't it?

:54:16. > :54:24.If he can hold here Jamie Hughes, 4-1 leaves him one away from the

:54:25. > :54:27.semi-finals and he did say that was his target.

:54:28. > :54:32.He wanted to reach the semi-finals because not only does he get

:54:33. > :54:36.automatic qualification back for next year, but there is a big old

:54:37. > :54:42.jump in prize money between this stage and the last four. Quarter

:54:43. > :54:48.final losers each go home with ?6,5 hung hundred. Semi-final losers go

:54:49. > :54:54.home with ?15,000. ?100,000 to the winner.

:54:55. > :55:06.Just don't buy a tractor and forget about the VAT.

:55:07. > :55:21.It keeps popping up, doesn't it, the tractor? Harms getting us away.th

:55:22. > :55:30.Scott Mitchell promised his dad a tractor if he won last year. He

:55:31. > :55:39.found one for ?100 exactly. Bought the tractor having not considered it

:55:40. > :55:44.was ?100,000 plus VAT and so he had to find another ?20,000 from

:55:45. > :55:53.somewhere. He did get a combine Harvester!

:55:54. > :55:56.OK - treble 20. Can't finish now, Jamie - 111. Nice

:55:57. > :56:19.shot this. Treble 20. Yes, treble 20.

:56:20. > :56:23.Wesley coming back for 96. Double 12 if he comes back to hold

:56:24. > :56:27.his throw. This is for a break. Needs the treble here. So double

:56:28. > :56:32.eight. Oh, dear! I think he may have needed

:56:33. > :56:38.that. Double 12.

:56:39. > :56:44.Double six. Having troubles after the break.

:56:45. > :56:48.And it is double trouble. Right at the bottom then. Double three. There

:56:49. > :56:53.it is. Really good dart.

:56:54. > :57:10.OK, a good start in this leg. Still that double three there. Oh,

:57:11. > :57:15.we go. A good space. Usually gets three of them when he's in that

:57:16. > :57:21.corner. I tell you what, he'll probably take

:57:22. > :57:29.two. The same place for Harms.

:57:30. > :57:43.Mexico! I don't think they've got anyone appearing this year, Mexico.

:57:44. > :58:05.Is that what they call" beer goggles? " Only 60, so Jamie here

:58:06. > :58:08.can nick the advantage of throwing first if he finds a big one, and

:58:09. > :58:18.does. Already on a fifrn finish.

:58:19. > :58:21.Wesley Harms had a dart at double eight, to break the Jamie Hughes

:58:22. > :58:27.throw at the start of this set, he missed it and all of a sudden it's

:58:28. > :58:33.going away from him quickly. Treble 20, for a 136 in a two-leg game. Oh!

:58:34. > :58:39.Brilliant! Brutal darts.

:58:40. > :58:51.Wesley's head went down there. What a shocker that for him. But off he

:58:52. > :58:58.goes again. That's the end of the 136.

:58:59. > :59:07.Brilliant. A 12-dart leg. A break of throw.

:59:08. > :59:14.There's Wesley Harms' girlfriend, who must be feeling this match is

:59:15. > :59:17.slipping away. Again how different it might have

:59:18. > :59:24.been if he had managed to hit that double eight.

:59:25. > :59:30.He's not throwing that badly, Wesley Harms.

:59:31. > :59:38.Well, two tonnes in this leg. Right in the corner, look how much

:59:39. > :59:43.space he's got for another two. There's his three scores. A finish

:59:44. > :59:51.136. Well, he's done it once, the 136.

:59:52. > :59:56.Can we see it again? This is for the set. You wouldn't put it past him,

:59:57. > :00:00.would you, another one of those - there it is, another double eight.

:00:01. > :00:10.Not far. And he will be back.

:00:11. > :00:17.Jamie now double four. This is for the set.

:00:18. > :00:30.Double two now. Yes! He's done it again!

:00:31. > :00:41.Those are the ones you need, for the sets. It is Jamie who has got them.

:00:42. > :00:46.He has just won six legs in a row, Jamie Hughes, just when Wesley Harms

:00:47. > :00:58.thought he was back in the match having won that third set. Jamie has

:00:59. > :01:08.accelerated again. That last dart was Jamie's outshot. Plenty of room

:01:09. > :01:17.accelerated again. That last dart again. Look at those averages.

:01:18. > :01:24.Starting out with 103, then 100 exactly, the third set he could not

:01:25. > :01:27.keep it going. But he found a way to win an average fourth set and

:01:28. > :01:32.brilliant from both players after the break. And the good thing is

:01:33. > :01:51.that he is getting the doubles. 14 out of 31 is very tidy. Six out

:01:52. > :01:58.of 19 isn't bad but he has missed the big ones and only 19

:01:59. > :02:04.opportunities. This is why. That is why Wesley Harms has only had 19

:02:05. > :02:05.opportunities. This is why. That is opportunities. They have had some

:02:06. > :02:12.enjoyment Wesley has the experience and the

:02:13. > :03:29.power. The Mark Kerr is on. It caught the

:03:30. > :03:34.barrel. -- the marker. A good opportunity for Wesley Harms to

:03:35. > :03:44.break here. You were wondering where the other Ronnie was and we found

:03:45. > :03:48.him! Hiding behind Superman. Only at the darts. He must have closed shop

:03:49. > :04:02.to get here. Did you see the signs? It's good

:04:03. > :04:08.darts from me and it's good darts from him! And it has been

:04:09. > :04:14.outstanding darts from him, on occasion in this match. But he has

:04:15. > :04:21.taken a couple of sets almost holiday. This one especially.

:04:22. > :04:32.Highest score of 97. Good recovery. 130 is a good

:04:33. > :05:07.outshot. He will be coming back. Treble 20. Another one. It's the

:05:08. > :05:13.bull. Just a fraction. Double 16. Double 9. Keep it going, Wesley. Way

:05:14. > :05:48.off. More applause for Jamie Hughes. That

:05:49. > :05:53.was his wife Jane applauding and she must be believing, starting to

:05:54. > :05:58.believe that that semifinal, the target at the start of the week, is

:05:59. > :06:07.going to become a reality. He is two legs away. She is cheering him on.

:06:08. > :06:22.And his brother Shane next to her. Did you see that film, Shane?

:06:23. > :06:42.He needed that treble just to stay in touch and this is a leg where he

:06:43. > :06:53.is throwing first, Wesley Harms. Still plenty of room. Not a finish

:06:54. > :07:02.that not far for Jamie Hughes. -- but not far-away. And he is not far

:07:03. > :07:10.away from the finish. Wesley Harms is not lying down.

:07:11. > :07:28.He is under pressure now. Yes, 61, 11, bull. He had to get it.

:07:29. > :07:38.Double 16 for a break up throw to move within one of the semifinals.

:07:39. > :07:52.He only needed one! He has the darts. He has the

:07:53. > :08:04.semifinals insight. This could be the one. He has done all the hard

:08:05. > :08:15.work, played extremely well. It has been magic. A classic game. At times

:08:16. > :08:27.it really has been. Looking down the oche.

:08:28. > :08:41.Wesley has the break. He finds another treble 20.

:08:42. > :08:59.One thing is certain, Wesley won't give up. Ton, 140. Same for Jamie

:09:00. > :09:08.Hughes. He can't finish from 165. Look where he was standing. But you

:09:09. > :09:19.definitely cannot finish from 220. Six darts from 165. This is when the

:09:20. > :09:29.pressure comes. The feeling that you are close. He slowed down

:09:30. > :09:32.considerably. Wesley to pressure it but it is match point for Jamie

:09:33. > :10:00.Hughes. 107 to reach the semis. Shanghai to save the match. Can't do

:10:01. > :10:10.it. Jamie Hughes coming back for double 10. It doesn't matter what

:10:11. > :10:18.happens here. He has hit it twice and missed it four times but none of

:10:19. > :10:26.that matters now! Jamie Hughes told as he was capable of it and he has

:10:27. > :10:32.proved it! He blasts past Wesley Harms. Yozza is through to the

:10:33. > :10:37.semifinals and he makes a bit of statement. What a match.

:10:38. > :10:48.Ladies and gentlemen, your appreciation, Wesley Harms! APPLAUSE

:10:49. > :10:53.But through to his first Lakeside World Championship semifinal, it is

:10:54. > :11:13.the boy from the Black Country, Yozza, Jamie Hughes! CHEERING

:11:14. > :11:22.Jamie finally shows us what he's made of. He put Wesley in Harms way

:11:23. > :11:43.and he rarely relented to get through to the semifinals.

:11:44. > :11:52.Bobby George, Jamie Hughes will be delighted with that given the

:11:53. > :11:58.performances in his first two games. He played so much better. 12% up on

:11:59. > :12:07.his scoring. That is a lot of difference. And he finished well.

:12:08. > :12:09.Nine 180s, different player. He can play and he is pleased because he

:12:10. > :12:12.doesn't have the go round the world doesn't have the go round the world

:12:13. > :12:20.so much, he is already back here next year which was his goal. Now it

:12:21. > :12:30.is a bonus. And a few quid as well! And he saves money from travelling!

:12:31. > :12:36.He won three of the five sets at an average north of 100, he might tell

:12:37. > :12:42.as he might have more to do dumb. We have to say

:12:43. > :12:43.as he might have more to do dumb. We coming in! Bobby was saying what a

:12:44. > :12:49.terrible performance that was! I'm coming in! Bobby was saying what a

:12:50. > :12:51.only joking. That is what I have been waiting for all week. I said

:12:52. > :12:59.that if I been waiting for all week. I said

:13:00. > :13:04.a hammering. You were averaging around 105 in the first two sets. It

:13:05. > :13:12.is my normal game, that's why I've been so frustrated. You could see

:13:13. > :13:15.the frustration and now you've seen the real me. It is a longer format.

:13:16. > :13:21.I relaxed a lot more. You the real me. It is a longer format.

:13:22. > :13:28.very well, very consistent with your scoring. You only had nine maximums,

:13:29. > :13:34.what happened? Chuffed to bits, I was hitting 180s for fun and

:13:35. > :13:37.checking out for fun and it's easy when that happens. It's a lovely

:13:38. > :13:41.checking out for fun and it's easy feeling. You are back next year and

:13:42. > :13:47.you don't have to travel so much. Yes, that was the aim, that is the

:13:48. > :13:53.same for everyone, semifinals takes the pressure off next season. With

:13:54. > :13:58.11. Finishes coming out of your ears, your aim is to change and it

:13:59. > :14:03.has to be the trophy. I know it will be hard next time, Scott Waites or

:14:04. > :14:08.Glen Durrant, I might have to play better than that. I probably will

:14:09. > :14:15.do. That has given me a massive confidence boost. In the break,

:14:16. > :14:22.sometimes the player behind will come out and be rejuvenated, you

:14:23. > :14:24.were 3-1 up and you almost put back-to-back 136 finishes together

:14:25. > :14:32.and that was almost as impressive as the first two sets. It OK averaging

:14:33. > :14:36.105 but you have to win five sets so how pleased were you to put your

:14:37. > :14:41.foot on his throat? That's what you want to do, when you have a break

:14:42. > :14:46.you want to put the pressure straight back on. That was what I

:14:47. > :14:54.did. I'm chuffed to bits with my performance. I've shown everyone

:14:55. > :15:00.what I can do. I saw you this morning, you were like Robocop, I'm

:15:01. > :15:06.going to smash that board, and you did! I've said it for the last two

:15:07. > :15:14.games and it hasn't happened and when you talk yourself up and you

:15:15. > :15:19.don't produce you feel like a... Good man. We will find out who you

:15:20. > :15:26.are going to be playing in the semifinal. Two men with different

:15:27. > :15:30.stories so far, Scott Waites was three Noh down last night and came

:15:31. > :15:35.back to win 4-3 against Geert De Vos at the number one seed Glen Durrant

:15:36. > :15:41.has not dropped a set yet. I was delighted with how it went I woke up

:15:42. > :15:45.feeling really good, I had a good practice the night before and when I

:15:46. > :15:50.stepped on the stage, even as early as the first leg when I finished

:15:51. > :15:58.with 141... What a way to start the match. I was relaxed and the 180s

:15:59. > :16:03.started coming. When one goes in, it just opens up. I am a great front

:16:04. > :16:10.runner and if I take the first set I'm hard to beat. Sometimes you are

:16:11. > :16:14.stood behind your opponent and you know it's going in. Three out of

:16:15. > :16:25.three. He has done it! . You have got to have a lot of grit

:16:26. > :16:31.and determination, don't give in. If you can keep the pressure on your

:16:32. > :16:38.opponent, something has to give. Is this the start of a Scott Waites

:16:39. > :16:44.comeback? That was fantastic. Every time I hit treble 20, there was a

:16:45. > :16:50.massive cheer and I wanted all three in the treble every time. For the

:16:51. > :16:58.match, there it is! Can you believe it? Nobody likes to lose 4-0 and

:16:59. > :17:04.that is what it looked like but in the end, you get a 4-3 victory which

:17:05. > :17:11.from my point of view was pretty dam good. Scott Waites is the world

:17:12. > :17:15.champion, world master, he has won the grand slam, he has been there

:17:16. > :17:20.and done it and he is someone I admire very much so to play him live

:17:21. > :17:24.on the BBC at Lakeside in the quarterfinals, it will tell me if

:17:25. > :17:33.minor one seed is justified. I know how good he is playing. If I play

:17:34. > :17:38.well, he has a really good game if not, he will wipe the floor with me.

:17:39. > :17:42.Scott Waites will have to be on top of his game because Glen Durrant has

:17:43. > :17:48.one way of playing and that is good enough to take anybody out who is

:17:49. > :17:51.not on form. If he plays like he did the other day, Scott has to play

:17:52. > :17:58.better than him to beat him but last night, 3-0 down, he is a good player

:17:59. > :18:03.to come back and win that. But he has to get in front of 11 because

:18:04. > :18:09.Glen likes to be in front -- in front of Glen. If he gets behind he

:18:10. > :18:19.has no chance, he has to keep with him. Your bang right. He does not

:18:20. > :18:25.want to come in with a zero by his name at the break. The stats are so

:18:26. > :18:32.close. Glen Durrant edges it intends finishing. Every time he throws at

:18:33. > :18:38.double he is hitting one out of two. He will be pleased with that but the

:18:39. > :18:42.same average, the scoring power, both the same, it is who finishes

:18:43. > :18:49.sweeter. And bigger out shots win matches. I think it will be

:18:50. > :18:54.interesting if Scott takes the first set because Glen has not dropped one

:18:55. > :18:58.in the tournament so it would be interesting with that seed of doubt

:18:59. > :19:03.in his mind. And if Scott goes a couple behind, I would not panic

:19:04. > :19:11.because he will feel like he can come back from anything. I think

:19:12. > :19:16.Glen has the power to be in front of people on the scoring but the best

:19:17. > :19:22.thing he does is finish. All of these guys today are near in the

:19:23. > :19:32.scoring and one fella goes ahead because he goes out 139, 144, 160,

:19:33. > :19:36.the high finishes art what wins it. We have already at a treat, it is

:19:37. > :19:40.time for the second quarter final in the top half of the draw and to get

:19:41. > :19:44.the players out there it is Richard Ashdown.

:20:08. > :20:11.six world ranking titles, he is the number one seed, the reigning world

:20:12. > :20:31.Masters champion, Glen Durrant! MUSIC: Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag

:20:32. > :21:36.by Perfecto Allstarz. We now welcome to the stage the

:21:37. > :21:44.reigning British classic champion, a former world Masters, grand slam of

:21:45. > :21:51.darts and Lakeside world champion, it is Scott Waites!

:21:52. > :22:37.MUSIC: Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis.

:22:38. > :22:44.Glen Durrant from the first dart throwing has been the man to beat

:22:45. > :22:49.and that has not changed. Scott Waites has a chance to change it now

:22:50. > :22:53.with your commentators, George Riley and John Rawling.

:22:54. > :23:01.This could be interesting in deed, Scott Waites is showing signs of

:23:02. > :23:02.being back to his best form but he is still up and down, 3-0 down

:23:03. > :23:09.against Geert De is still up and down, 3-0 down

:23:10. > :23:13.to come back and win the match. One thing is for sure, Scott Waites

:23:14. > :23:18.cannot afford to let a man like Glen Durrant take that sort of an

:23:19. > :23:24.advantage. Now 38 years old, former grand champion, 2013 world champion.

:23:25. > :23:27.Glen Durrant is the number one seed and he has exceeded that air of

:23:28. > :23:41.confidence this week. Best -- exuded. He beat Dean Reynolds and

:23:42. > :23:46.hammered Larry Butler but what about Scott Waites? Both are heavy scorers

:23:47. > :23:55.and can both -- both can get high checkouts. Good afternoon, John,

:23:56. > :24:05.good afternoon all. Looking forward to this. Durrant has been excellent,

:24:06. > :24:13.in formidable form. What a contest that was from Scott Waites. It was

:24:14. > :24:18.breathtaking and the atmosphere when he mounted that remarkable comeback

:24:19. > :24:22.was extraordinary. I was sitting watching amid the crowd on a table

:24:23. > :24:30.who had had a few quid on Geert De Vos! They were a bit hangdog, but

:24:31. > :24:36.most of the crowd were just enraptured by what he produced, his

:24:37. > :24:43.finishing was sensational. It was quite a match. But he can't afford

:24:44. > :24:49.to come out slumbering as he did yesterday, he has to stay with

:24:50. > :24:54.Durrant, who has the darts here and already in this opening leg, why

:24:55. > :25:02.virtue of that 140, he is under a bit of pressure. Nice to see a

:25:03. > :25:04.player growing in confidence again. He has had injury worries and been a

:25:05. > :25:08.player growing in confidence again. away from darts either but that is

:25:09. > :25:12.sorted out and away from darts either but that is

:25:13. > :25:18.himself and feeling fit and playing better and it is nice to see.

:25:19. > :25:25.Pressure on the Durrant throw here. He could do with another treble.

:25:26. > :25:32.Great dart. He has got himself on a finish as well, 170. Extricated

:25:33. > :25:43.himself from what looked a tricky position. This would wake up the

:25:44. > :25:48.crowd. But not this time. Scott Waites is not on a finish so if he

:25:49. > :25:52.leaves something tidy, which he has, he is in a strong position.

:25:53. > :26:01.leaves something tidy, which he has, is the big favourite. What a visit

:26:02. > :26:04.this is. The on-site bookie was quoting Glen Durrant as 5-2 on

:26:05. > :26:09.favourite. quoting Glen Durrant as 5-2 on

:26:10. > :26:27.entire tournament. Good darts. Very solid start from the top seed.

:26:28. > :26:36.Dozza from Middlesbrough. This is not to shabby from Scott Waites. He

:26:37. > :26:41.practised last night with Jamie Hughes and found a little working

:26:42. > :26:44.man 's club in Frimley Green and found a quiet corner and practised

:26:45. > :26:51.together and were very happy with the outcome. 50% of it certainly

:26:52. > :26:58.worked, I did not see Jamie Hughes winning as easily as he did. It was

:26:59. > :27:11.quite something. Middlesbrough fans at the Lakeside today. He is a big

:27:12. > :27:22.Middlesbrough fan, he likes his football. That was his uncle on the

:27:23. > :27:27.left, uncle George. There he is. I think they are more nervous than he

:27:28. > :27:32.was before the match. It is a good time to be a Middlesbrough fan, they

:27:33. > :27:36.are flying this season under Aitor Karanka and playing some good stuff.

:27:37. > :27:39.They have got a good chairman and that counts a lot. Another good

:27:40. > :27:58.dart, bull. He will be back for 42. No finish

:27:59. > :28:04.for Durrant. But pressure... Scott is going to have to take this now.

:28:05. > :28:08.First 180 of the match and Waites will need to get this. Not a bad

:28:09. > :28:30.marker. With serve at the start of this one

:28:31. > :28:41.then. It is the first to five for a place in the semifinals.

:28:42. > :28:52.And in the semifinals, the winner will play Jamie Hughes. The other

:28:53. > :28:54.court of finals later, Jeff Smith against Dennis Harbour and Scott

:28:55. > :29:15.Mitchell against Richard Veenstra. That middle dart was the 25,000th

:29:16. > :29:21.dart thrown this week. You need to get out more, don't just sit around

:29:22. > :29:26.counting darts. I haven't noted them all but I brought my big pad.

:29:27. > :29:41.Complete with indecipherable hieroglyphics.

:29:42. > :29:51.Nothing between these two so far, no real significant match moments, they

:29:52. > :29:55.are yet to come. I would be very surprised if it was as wide a margin

:29:56. > :30:04.as the first quarter final, this could be a close one.

:30:05. > :30:19.They have played in this year. Glen Durrant played Scott Waites in the

:30:20. > :30:26.final. It Welsh open winner of 6 titles. 11 overall. That is in terms

:30:27. > :30:32.of ranking trophies. And he says it was the defeat, to some people,

:30:33. > :30:37.could have been pretty shattering. Great match. He said it was that

:30:38. > :30:39.defeat which propelled him on. Let's see if he can take this out, great

:30:40. > :30:47.1st dart. This is what separates the good from

:30:48. > :30:56.the ordinary. That is very good. 148 is his highest tournament check

:30:57. > :31:12.out, Glen Durrant, so far. Last night was terrific stuff. But

:31:13. > :31:29.that wasn't. I was sort of watching the 158 check

:31:30. > :31:34.out through a sea of silly hats. A huge amount of beer being consumed

:31:35. > :31:39.in various quarters, not mine, I hasten to add!

:31:40. > :31:53.A big lad, I better not tell him face-to-face! LAUGHTER there is a

:31:54. > :32:00.great atmosphere when you get down amongst it. I took in 1 of the games

:32:01. > :32:03.of Ted Hankey when I was not in the commentary box, right in the middle

:32:04. > :32:10.of Lakeside and it is a fabulous atmosphere. A big proportion of them

:32:11. > :32:19.liked to have a little punt with the onside bookies as well.

:32:20. > :32:42.Getting into the party mood. Scott Waites is on a finish. 156.

:32:43. > :32:50.Cannot take it now. Glen Durrant on 167. Will his form continue? It

:32:51. > :33:02.might do. Not this time. Scott Waites leaving

:33:03. > :33:27.himself on 1 of his favourite doubles, double 12... Yes. 2- 2.

:33:28. > :33:33.Wherever you are watching, I hope you are enjoying the darts as much

:33:34. > :33:38.as we have this week and thank you for all of your messages. People

:33:39. > :33:46.tweeting and on Facebook and we do see them! We particularly like the

:33:47. > :33:53.nice 1s! LAUGHTER yes, we see them all, unfortunately!

:33:54. > :33:56.If you want to appreciate praise, you have got to accept criticism,

:33:57. > :34:05.that is the way to look at it! A friendly sort of smile, that bloke

:34:06. > :34:19.leering over her shoulder! Was that failure? I suspect they are

:34:20. > :34:24.together. It was that sort of smile that Eric Morecambe used to have

:34:25. > :34:29.when he turned to the camera. That was a good shot, and another... Go

:34:30. > :34:36.on! 180. CHEERING

:34:37. > :34:40.The 1st maximum for Scott Waites. Scotty could make the 1st big break.

:34:41. > :34:48.We are at the 1st really significant moment. 81, takes the opening set

:34:49. > :34:55.against the throw. Let's have a look. Treble 19... Yes!

:34:56. > :35:01.CHEERING He takes the 1st. He has got the

:35:02. > :35:06.start that he wanted, he said he could not afford to let Glen Durrant

:35:07. > :35:39.take it. He has taken this opportunity for an 81 check out.

:35:40. > :35:46.Has just taken the wind added the sales of Glen Durrant? He is noted

:35:47. > :35:52.as being a powerful front runner and now he will have to scrap. Suddenly

:35:53. > :35:58.it is Glen Durrant who wants to be sure that Scott Waites is not the 1

:35:59. > :36:08.who gets the flyer. Good shot. Lovely cover shot.

:36:09. > :36:22.Superman and Robin, an unlikely pairing!

:36:23. > :36:39.Scott Waites has got that little jerk in his throwing action, he is

:36:40. > :36:53.not as smooth as somebody if it works! This is good.

:36:54. > :37:06.It is more than a glimmer, this could be a break. He will be

:37:07. > :37:22.disappointed if he does not get He is just under a bit of pressure.

:37:23. > :37:28.He does not look quite as assured as he can. Scott Waites would not like

:37:29. > :37:37.losing this opening leg. He still could do, that was bad. And that was

:37:38. > :37:45.again... Glen Durrant can rescue this. There we go. That is a break.

:37:46. > :37:53.You're right, he does not quite look himself. A scrappy leg and Glen

:37:54. > :37:59.Durrant got away with it. I do not think Scott Waites can quite believe

:38:00. > :38:08.it. What am I doing, he says? He is all over the place. He missed a 55

:38:09. > :38:28.by distance and then split it. -- a double 5.

:38:29. > :38:41.Not quite there at the moment. Judging by very high standards. 91

:38:42. > :38:53.against the 96 from Scott Waites. It goes up a little with that 140.

:38:54. > :39:04.Another 1 of those would be nice! Very nice indeed. He has got himself

:39:05. > :39:09.onto a finish. It would put him 2- 0 up. Unlucky.

:39:10. > :39:27.Scott Waites can be a very heavy scorer, his darts go pretty

:39:28. > :39:35.straight, there is furry little inclined... He gets the chance. --

:39:36. > :39:45.very little. That was a perfect example. Double 8 but the leg... A

:39:46. > :39:59.14 darter. He really forces them into the bed,

:40:00. > :40:03.doesn't he, Scott Waites? He 1st really sprang to prominence, to a

:40:04. > :40:07.wider audience, when he won the Grand Slam and will be Hampton in

:40:08. > :40:12.2010, beating James Wade in a great final. James Wade looked as if he

:40:13. > :40:23.was romping it but Scotty would not give up. He took the title, a big

:40:24. > :40:28.offer for him. He decided he liked his life away from full-time darts.

:40:29. > :40:32.A joiner by profession, did not want to risk everything in a career in

:40:33. > :40:36.A joiner by profession, did not want darts. Still enjoys it hugely, very

:40:37. > :40:45.much a threat. 180! CHEERING

:40:46. > :40:46.Glen Durrant raises his arm to acknowledge the 180 and the crowd

:40:47. > :40:57.enjoyed that. Waits is on a finish when he comes

:40:58. > :41:28.back. Scott Waites will come back to stay

:41:29. > :41:40.alive in the 2nd set. And it is a must get. 24 against 56. Big

:41:41. > :41:44.darts... Game, shot and the 3rd leg, Scott Waites. His concentration,

:41:45. > :41:58.execution, in it went. Glen Durrant will have to wait to

:41:59. > :42:05.take this out. He has the darts. Scott Waites will not throwing in

:42:06. > :42:09.the towel. If he takes this leg, he has the darts but the decider. --

:42:10. > :42:25.for the decider. He needed that last treble or he

:42:26. > :42:36.would have been in a sticky position. Scott Waites, a big score

:42:37. > :42:41.would put him in a strong place. His 5th 140 of the match so far, Scott

:42:42. > :42:45.Waites, he has scored a couple of maximums as well.

:42:46. > :43:00.A chance. This is a real chance to get that in the set. He could do

:43:01. > :43:17.with another of those. Another treble...

:43:18. > :43:23.Glen Durrant is nicely onto a finish, makeable. If Scott Waites

:43:24. > :43:29.gets another big score, he could put a lot of pressure on him but he

:43:30. > :43:39.cannot find that treble. Now then, this is interesting. For the set...

:43:40. > :43:51.Scott Waites can page this. 104, the target. Treble 20, treble 18...

:43:52. > :44:05.Good darts, great shot. Back on level terms. He will have the darts.

:44:06. > :44:35.Quality check out. 1 of our guys in the truck has hit

:44:36. > :44:41.the bull's-eye today, happy birthday, mate. 1 of our sizeable

:44:42. > :44:46.Welsh contingent here. Yes, happy birthday. Why wouldn't you want to

:44:47. > :45:17.spend it at the darts? Glen Durrant is fighting back well

:45:18. > :45:28.here. 96 followed by 137, could do with another treble and he finds 1.

:45:29. > :45:34.Scott Waites has got, not a great deal better.

:45:35. > :45:55.He is on 32. Which you would expect him to take out. He is going to have

:45:56. > :46:06.to. 1 from 5 on the double 16, that is

:46:07. > :46:16.surely a good marker? Yes. For the 2nd set. It is 1- 1. In this

:46:17. > :46:18.heavyweight battle. Many thought it would have been the sort of battle

:46:19. > :46:30.which could well have great that final but here we are in the

:46:31. > :46:32.quarterfinal. -- graced the final. Doing exactly the same today, 5 out

:46:33. > :47:12.of 10. He has missed the treble. What can

:47:13. > :47:22.Scott Waites make of this? Not bad, slightly misses the chance.

:47:23. > :47:33.Could do with a treble, Glen Durrant. 58, 60, back visits and

:47:34. > :47:37.Scott Waites is starting to ease clear.

:47:38. > :47:52.A good visit. You see how he fires those darts in. Very often, very

:47:53. > :47:58.rarely blocking the bed. Go on... 180!

:47:59. > :48:01.CHEERING The 3rd maximum, the 5th of the

:48:02. > :48:14.match and Scott Waites is on a finish, but he cannot do it now.

:48:15. > :48:21.161, rather... This, to hold... 11 4 double 16...

:48:22. > :48:32.Waits is on a hundred and 16, -- 116. Still needs it. That is the

:48:33. > :48:47.wrong side of the wire. Another dart at double 16. Right in

:48:48. > :48:49.the middle. Glen Durrant is holding his throat, Scott Waites knowing he

:48:50. > :48:59.missed an opportunity. Not quite in the elevated area of

:49:00. > :49:07.his game that he managed to Not quite in the elevated area of

:49:08. > :49:16.is as well for Glenn. Scott Waites averaging 98, Glen

:49:17. > :49:32.Durrant, 95. I had a friend here yesterday who

:49:33. > :49:37.flew in from Florida, coming all the way from Chicago, you're very

:49:38. > :50:16.welcome, mate, enjoy it. You are very welcome, sir.

:50:17. > :50:21.Nip and tuck as they worked their way down towards the key points in

:50:22. > :50:32.these sets. Early little between them. Scott Waites waits on 160.

:50:33. > :50:36.Glen Durrant is not going to be on a finish. 160, Scott Waites... Not

:50:37. > :51:01.this time. Come on, he says to himself. 140 is

:51:02. > :51:09.still very good. Makes this 100 look a little more intimidating.

:51:10. > :51:24.A big moment and he takes it. Glen Durrant was poised. That was a good

:51:25. > :51:30.start, real pressure on the throw. 1- 1 in terms of sets and legs, for

:51:31. > :51:37.a place in the semifinal of the BDO World Champion chip at stakes. Jamie

:51:38. > :51:41.Hughes is watching, I would imagine, probably in the players room.

:51:42. > :51:48.Wondering who he is going to be playing next. Very difficult to

:51:49. > :51:55.predict, difficult as it was at the beginning of the match, very little

:51:56. > :51:58.between them. Glen Durrant coming in with his 4th maximum. 180!

:51:59. > :52:13.CHEERING This is warming up nicely at the

:52:14. > :52:18.Lakeside. That was 180, number 180! Your statistical acumen is truly

:52:19. > :52:24.astonishing! LAUGHTER do you like the way I get to come above the

:52:25. > :52:28.screen at the same time. I have never seen you in action on the lazy

:52:29. > :52:34.Mike, you're taking calculations, and then we need to show them. An

:52:35. > :52:43.important message for uncle Dave... Game, shot and the 3rd leg, Glen

:52:44. > :53:07.Durrant. Could be a long old game. It is

:53:08. > :53:14.looking that way, isn't it? Some of these lads have been really nervous.

:53:15. > :53:18.I said to Glen Durrant, did you have a good kip last night and he said

:53:19. > :53:22.yes, I slept like a log but in the previous leg, it wasn't so good. But

:53:23. > :53:36.last night, everything was hunky-dory.

:53:37. > :53:41.After a dozen scores of 180 in the match so far. A great last dart,

:53:42. > :53:55.treble 18. 125... Scott Waites taking in this

:53:56. > :54:03.leg, but not on a finish. -- dictating. But Glen Durrant could

:54:04. > :54:10.be. Treble 20... 2 beyond 170, he has got it.

:54:11. > :54:22.Scott Waites cannot finish. Might switch down to set up something

:54:23. > :54:26.nice. Lovely. Can you? 170, not been done yet this week, an hundred and

:54:27. > :54:45.61 has been the best. -- 116. He will want to take this out in a

:54:46. > :54:51.couple of darts. Game, shot and the 4th leg, Scott Waites. The 2nd was a

:54:52. > :54:58.really good marker, he used it and made no mistake.

:54:59. > :55:04.Sale... The equation is quite straightforward. Glen Durrant must

:55:05. > :55:14.hold his throw and he will win the set. If he does not, it goes for

:55:15. > :55:18.Scott Waites. All 3 sets will have gone 5 lakes, it is that sort of a

:55:19. > :55:25.match, it was never going to be a big steam roller. I hope that was a

:55:26. > :55:30.fellow on the right-hand side... I am pretty sure it was! My raider on

:55:31. > :55:39.these things is usually quite good...

:55:40. > :55:46.Glen Durrant is looking in a good position, Scott Waites needing a

:55:47. > :55:53.treble. Dear... He dragged that, a bit of tension. That was a really

:55:54. > :56:03.tight through. An advantage, and the darts. He would not mind a treble.

:56:04. > :56:08.It is not there, not on a finish. It Scott Waites can get back in

:56:09. > :56:14.contact, maybe... Again, finding the treble difficult and when he

:56:15. > :56:22.founded, it was the wrong 1! -- found it. To set up a finish, Glen

:56:23. > :56:31.Durrant, to take set number 3. Rightly so, great.

:56:32. > :56:35.127 when he comes back, Scott Waites. Trying to leave himself on

:56:36. > :56:41.something he can have a go at. For the set... Treble 19 would leave

:56:42. > :57:12.bullseye. Glen Durrant, 72 for the 3rd set and

:57:13. > :57:21.to take a 2- 1 lead. 16 would leave tops. Double top...

:57:22. > :57:34.Well... What a steal this would be. He has never looked like winning

:57:35. > :57:43.this leg. Bullseye... No shot. Glen Durrant will come back with 2 scores

:57:44. > :57:52.of 10 needed. See if his nerve holds out this time. A must take?

:57:53. > :58:08.Good. And he is ahead in the match again. 2- 1 up. Scott Waites is not

:58:09. > :58:15.a happy boy. A dangerous 1. The 2nd start, double 5, knowing if you take

:58:16. > :58:47.it short, you are done. He will think, 60 on the floor.

:58:48. > :58:55.Scott Waites needs to settle down. He does not want Glen Durrant to get

:58:56. > :58:59.a 2 set advantage, remember, the 1st 5 will take it. Glen Durrant at his

:59:00. > :59:17.best in the 2nd set. Those figures, visibly improving as

:59:18. > :59:22.we get to the business end of the competition. The temperature is

:59:23. > :59:38.rising at Lakeside, getting very warm again.

:59:39. > :59:46.139, can be done. Against the thrill... No checkout. Scott Waites

:59:47. > :59:53.will come back. Glen Durrant setting this up nicely. Scott Waites must

:59:54. > :00:01.get this. Pressure on, this, to hold... Not going to happen. Glenn

:00:02. > :00:07.can tidy it up and take the opening leg against the throw. Double 10...

:00:08. > :00:18.He will not be happy with that. Good. 1- 0 and Scott Waites is going

:00:19. > :00:23.through a bit of a sticky patch. He does not miss many in a row, does

:00:24. > :00:33.he, Glen Durrant. 9 out of 18, 50% checkout. 30 from 61 for the

:00:34. > :00:43.tournament and look at this. 180. The 5th maximum. Glen Durrant.

:00:44. > :00:54.Can he keep it up? A nice little nod to the crowd as if to say, yes,

:00:55. > :01:04.that's what I'm about. He fancied another. There is that

:01:05. > :01:06.that's what I'm about. He fancied ?52,000 prize for anybody who can do

:01:07. > :01:13.a nine dart this week. ?52,000 prize for anybody who can do

:01:14. > :01:16.one of the major sponsors, Betfred ?52,000 prize for anybody who can do

:01:17. > :01:37.-- a nine-darter. Off the treble wire again I think.

:01:38. > :01:43.Yes, bottom wire, you could see the mark. Very unlucky. That is a great

:01:44. > :01:57.start. Double 16 for 140! mark. Very unlucky. That is a great

:01:58. > :02:07.Turning the screw now. That hurt Waites. And Durrant is starting to

:02:08. > :02:11.motor. Highest checkout of the match that 140, he is averaging over 90

:02:12. > :02:13.Zevon, moving towards three figures which is the benchmark for real

:02:14. > :02:32.first classed throwing -- What Scott Waites did against Geert

:02:33. > :02:38.De Vos was breathtaking and it is starting to look like he might have

:02:39. > :02:41.to do something similar. He is capable of producing these

:02:42. > :02:49.extraordinary purple patches, Scott Waites. But Durrant isn't given to

:02:50. > :02:54.crumbling, the wheels don't often fall of this particular darts

:02:55. > :03:05.player, Duzza is a very solid player. That is a brilliant cover

:03:06. > :03:15.shot. Putting himself on finish, 130, four weights -- for Waites.

:03:16. > :03:21.Durrant already has the rake in this set. This is to stay in. He could

:03:22. > :03:35.really do with this. Decided not to go for it, leaving

:03:36. > :03:42.himself on 32, a bit of a gamble that Durrant will not take this 161.

:03:43. > :03:44.That is the best checkout of the tournament so far from Scott

:03:45. > :03:57.Mitchell. He needed that, to stay in set

:03:58. > :04:06.number four. Durrant with the darts to make it 3-1. There is a little

:04:07. > :04:15.break for the players to head off for a few minutes at the end of this

:04:16. > :04:17.set. Is it going to be 2-2 or 3-1? A big difference, such an important

:04:18. > :04:32.leg and such an important set. He has to find something big in this

:04:33. > :04:40.leg, Scott Waites. He will be desperate not to go in 3-1 down. His

:04:41. > :04:46.first effort of 59 was not good enough but this is more like it. He

:04:47. > :04:51.could have done with a 140. Interesting in the interval last

:04:52. > :04:57.night when they went backstage, neither player through a dart at the

:04:58. > :05:03.practice board, they just stood there, Scott Waites chatting to his

:05:04. > :05:11.mates and Davos was slumped over. -- Geert De Vos. This is a glimmer of

:05:12. > :05:20.an opportunity for Scott. Unlucky. So close to being a 140. Pretty much

:05:21. > :05:27.level pegging in this leg but Durrant has the darts, crucially,

:05:28. > :05:34.and that is a great start. Another one to turn the screw? No. He is on

:05:35. > :05:38.a finish but it is a big one and if Waites could find 140... I don't

:05:39. > :05:58.think that's enough. For the set. Scott Waites, if you are going to

:05:59. > :06:03.stay alive, this is your time. He hit 158 last night, 147 would be the

:06:04. > :06:09.best of the match but it's not there. Durrant coming back with 48

:06:10. > :06:16.for the set but great darts from Scott Waites. He is there if he gets

:06:17. > :06:28.a chance but he won't expect it. Two darts at it... He needs another

:06:29. > :06:35.double 8. And it's not lying well. A big dart and he has missed it. The

:06:36. > :06:40.way he throws, he was blocking a significant part of the target and

:06:41. > :06:53.this is a real opportunity. Double 4... Yes! Oh yes. He hangs on in

:06:54. > :06:59.there and takes the chance. Glen was unlucky with that double 8 just the

:07:00. > :07:05.other side of the wire but in throwing it he had pretty much

:07:06. > :07:10.blocked the double 8. What a big moment that could prove. Waites

:07:11. > :07:19.would be absolutely thrilled to escape at two Ball. -- 2-2.

:07:20. > :07:35.It is onwards and upwards. Sixth maximum. The fans are getting them

:07:36. > :07:37.unease worth today because every set has gone the distance -- there

:07:38. > :08:05.money's worth. Scott Waites could claw this back

:08:06. > :08:17.now to make it 2-2. But not on a finish yet, Durrant might have first

:08:18. > :08:24.pop at the end. He is on 161 which can be done. This could be an

:08:25. > :08:25.important it is pressure applied by Scott Waites and he is doing just

:08:26. > :08:44.that. -- bit of pressure. Yes. Treble 17 to leave bullseye.

:08:45. > :09:00.No. Waites to make it 2-2. And not a great last dart. One dart at 16...

:09:01. > :09:10.He has missed it. Glen Durrant, 79. For the set. Double 11.

:09:11. > :09:24.He's got it. He knows that was a big dart, Waites had the darts for the

:09:25. > :09:34.set but it did not work out and Glen Durrant is leading 3-1.

:09:35. > :09:42.Scott Waites did what everybody said he needed to and took the first set

:09:43. > :09:44.but after that it made Glen Durrant angry and what a steam train he is,

:09:45. > :10:01.3-1 up at the break. Scott took the first set but Glen

:10:02. > :10:06.Durrant is, some people would say it like a roller-coaster but he is the

:10:07. > :10:12.steadiest most even paste trained you have been on. He has got the

:10:13. > :10:21.same pace all the time and that a good game, average 97, it is very

:10:22. > :10:28.equal. The difference is the finishing if Scott hit that double

:10:29. > :10:33.16 it is 2-2 instead of 3-1. Only one dart could make the difference.

:10:34. > :10:40.And the whole way through the game, when Durrant has darts at a double,

:10:41. > :10:47.he is hitting one out of two. The chips away and even if you are at

:10:48. > :10:53.501, you are thinking you need to get there before him and it brings

:10:54. > :10:59.this relentless pressure. It is pressure all the time, playing

:11:00. > :11:04.someone who is the same all the time, near enough 100, you have got

:11:05. > :11:11.to be above that to beat him. Scott played well, just unfortunate on

:11:12. > :11:18.that double 16. 2-2 is very different. All that work and you

:11:19. > :11:25.lose the set on one dart. If Glen does win the tournament and you go

:11:26. > :11:32.on to stardom, they won't ask you on Strictly Come Dancing! But we have

:11:33. > :11:38.to give credit to Scott Waites because he is averaging 95 and has

:11:39. > :11:50.had some nice out shots and is hitting 43% doubles as well. Durrant

:11:51. > :11:59.is winning the legs that win the sets. If you win them at 2-2, you

:12:00. > :12:06.are the Guv'nor again. It must get in your head. He is playing all

:12:07. > :12:12.right, Scott. Glen Durrant has the darts in this fifth set and he could

:12:13. > :12:19.go 4-1 up and that would be no way back? 4-1 is terrible but the game

:12:20. > :12:22.does not reflect that. It's a good game but if he loses

:12:23. > :12:30.does not reflect that. It's a good no good. I can't see... But he did

:12:31. > :12:39.last night. After the second break he played really well. I don't know.

:12:40. > :12:50.I am getting it wrong this week, I'm not sure what it's going to do. They

:12:51. > :12:54.are practising. Last night, Scott Waites was 3-0 down and he won it

:12:55. > :13:00.4-3 and that is probably what he will be saying. That is what he is

:13:01. > :13:06.thinking. He was worse off last night, he was behind, just has to

:13:07. > :13:17.keep on and if he keeps on playing and Glen goes down a little bit, his

:13:18. > :13:21.darts are not so straight, but he is winning. He won't care as long as he

:13:22. > :13:29.is winning. Earlier on, Jamie winning. He won't care as long as he

:13:30. > :13:36.had an average well north of 90 to beat Wesley Harms. He

:13:37. > :13:39.had an average well north of 90 to over the first two sets. Quality.

:13:40. > :13:40.This afternoon and we will see it through to the end with George and

:13:41. > :13:52.John. COMMENTATOR: Durrant leading 3-1,

:13:53. > :13:54.averaging 97 and outscoring Scott Waites and still maintaining that

:13:55. > :13:59.averaging 97 and outscoring Scott impressive 50% check out rate which

:14:00. > :14:01.has given him the edge. All of the sets have been close. Durrant with

:14:02. > :14:11.the darts. He is relentless. He sets have been close. Durrant with

:14:12. > :14:17.doesn't have too many downtimes in his throws, very

:14:18. > :14:21.doesn't have too many downtimes in of throwing big numbers like that,

:14:22. > :14:27.that is the seventh 180 and his average rises closer to 100.

:14:28. > :14:33.Interesting watching Glen Durrant on the practice board backstage in the

:14:34. > :14:39.interval, just throwing a few darts, happy with that, shoved them in his

:14:40. > :14:47.top pocket and was ready to go back out.

:14:48. > :15:09.He is looking for another. Big scoring again from Durrant, he is on

:15:10. > :15:43.a finish. Scott has seen a dress rehearsal,

:15:44. > :15:53.same shot. 11th for bull, that leaves double 14. Oh yes. His

:15:54. > :15:59.highest checkout of the match and a big break at the start of set number

:16:00. > :16:04.five. And a great way to come back after an interval. All he did was

:16:05. > :16:10.stand in the player 's room and have a chat with his mates and his

:16:11. > :16:20.girlfriend. He has taken that leg now, against the throw. Which is

:16:21. > :16:31.precisely what he wanted to do. Another maximum. It is the 10th of

:16:32. > :16:35.the match. Averaging just under 100 now. Upwards of 101 for the first

:16:36. > :16:52.nine. Big lead for Durrant, it might not

:16:53. > :17:03.be after this visit. 221, trying to leave himself on a

:17:04. > :17:21.nice setup. Just having a think and composing

:17:22. > :17:33.himself. And bullseye. How about that? Durrant, to break act, 91. --

:17:34. > :17:49.break back. 18 now. He has gone treble 4 so it

:17:50. > :18:04.will have to be travelled ten. He has made a bit of a hash of this --

:18:05. > :18:13.treble 10. Waites, 122. Bullseye. Yes! What a checkout. And Scott

:18:14. > :18:27.Waites is now 2-0 up in this fifth set. 121 and then 122? Not a bad

:18:28. > :18:34.return to the oche after the break. We talked about purple patches that

:18:35. > :18:43.Scott Waites can deliver. Is he starting to get into one? He's not

:18:44. > :18:50.going to do it again, is he? You can't rule it out, it's not

:18:51. > :19:01.impossible. Those are the set averages so far.

:19:02. > :19:13.That average for Durrant in the fifth... But by virtue of the fact

:19:14. > :19:18.that he has not got to doubles yet because Scott Waites as taken out

:19:19. > :19:25.those brilliant finishes whereas Durrant has been left high and dry.

:19:26. > :19:41.No finish for Waites. A big one for Durrant. It's on. Bullseye...

:19:42. > :19:47.That would have been worth ?5,000, assuming nobody bettered it or

:19:48. > :20:04.shared it. He has taken out 121 already in this

:20:05. > :20:18.set. Two darts at double 8. He has missed it. Waites, 121, 122, 121

:20:19. > :20:27.again? Can he do it again? He could... Oh! That would have been

:20:28. > :20:36.magic. What a set of darts that would have been. That's nasty. It

:20:37. > :20:47.lying badly. He moves across, it will have to be right at the top.

:20:48. > :20:56.Waites is back. For the set. You can hear where the emotions of the crowd

:20:57. > :21:03.are lying. Yes! 3-2. What a set of darts from Scott Waites and against

:21:04. > :21:10.the darts as well. Fabulous stuff, what a contest.

:21:11. > :21:33.Waites has the throw. You can't call this now, John. There is nothing in

:21:34. > :21:37.it, there really isn't. I guess Durrant might be favourite if you

:21:38. > :21:42.are doing running odds by virtue of the fact that he is still a set

:21:43. > :21:50.ahead but Waites is starting to motor, as he can. We have had some

:21:51. > :21:51.compelling contests so far at Lakeside and this is up there with

:21:52. > :22:11.them. Durrant's checkouts have dropped. It

:22:12. > :22:30.was around 50%. Had to squeeze in that treble.

:22:31. > :22:39.That looks like a fun table. It might be in an hour or two!

:22:40. > :22:50.Durrant is on 170. Waites not quite as far down as he would have wished.

:22:51. > :22:59.Waites will back, looking to hold his throw and chasing 139. This is

:23:00. > :23:08.to hold throw. What a start. his throw and chasing 139. This is

:23:09. > :23:14.needed at treble on 19s. Durrant has his options here. Good first dart.

:23:15. > :23:46.18 would leave double 16. Great darts. His girlfriend Lucy

:23:47. > :23:48.happy to see that one going in. And Scott was delighted, he knows he is

:23:49. > :24:11.right back in this match. Durrant has not won Allegra since

:24:12. > :24:16.the break. Not so much that he is throwing particularly badly but

:24:17. > :24:28.Waites has really gone up a notch -- has not won a leg. Scott is on

:24:29. > :24:34.memory recall from last night when he was 3-0 down against Geert De Vos

:24:35. > :24:39.memory recall from last night when and won an absolute humdinger 4-3.

:24:40. > :24:44.3-1 down against Glen Durrant. And putting the Durrant throw under a

:24:45. > :24:49.bit of pressure here will stop a break would put him in pole position

:24:50. > :24:55.to make it 3-3 with the first to five taking place in the semifinal

:24:56. > :25:00.against Jamie Hughes. Good point about the memory of last night, he

:25:01. > :25:03.is almost on autopilot, trusting his talent to get him back in the

:25:04. > :25:11.contest but look at this from Durrant! That was brilliant. Ninth

:25:12. > :25:16.180 and Waites cannot take Durrant! That was brilliant. Ninth

:25:17. > :25:22.so Durrant can square it up and hold his throw. Under a lot of pressure

:25:23. > :25:34.but double 18 to hold. He only needed the first dart. Sixth set,

:25:35. > :25:39.one all -- 1-1. A quality game of darts, wherever you are watching, I

:25:40. > :25:46.hope you are enjoying it. Glen Durrant with that trademark case of

:25:47. > :25:53.the Middlesbrough badge on his shirt every time he does something he

:25:54. > :26:00.considers special. It is Middlesbrough against Huddersfield.

:26:01. > :26:22.And it is anybody's bet who is going to prevail. Great darts.

:26:23. > :26:35.227, Waites is in the box seat here on his throw. Plenty of room. And

:26:36. > :26:45.using it. Huge lead for Scott Waites. Not a handy dart so he goes

:26:46. > :26:54.down and then back up. 87, for Scott Waites to go 2-1 ahead and hold his

:26:55. > :26:59.throw. Brilliant. That is quality, clinical finishing and he is back in

:27:00. > :27:03.the zone where he was less than 24 hours ago. He is the man now who has

:27:04. > :27:27.the momentum. This is a big leg. Up big, big leg

:27:28. > :27:29.of darts. -- a big leg. Durrant has to hold his throw otherwise it is

:27:30. > :27:44.the set to Waites and parity at 3-3. Still averaging around 98, Durrant.

:27:45. > :27:49.It would be easy to think he has lost it slightly but it is more the

:27:50. > :27:52.fact that Durrant has been on the receiving end from some big scores

:27:53. > :28:00.from Waites and some brilliant finishing. It becomes a different

:28:01. > :28:08.game when you are hit with so many big finishes.

:28:09. > :28:16.He took out 104 as well in set number two. Three ton plus finishes

:28:17. > :28:33.so far. Durrant needs a treble but does not

:28:34. > :28:37.get it. He is on a finish of sorts. Waites is right with him, though,

:28:38. > :29:02.snarling in the slipstream. Surely he is not going to do this,

:29:03. > :29:03.156. Not this time. Durrant will come back looking favourite to make

:29:04. > :29:27.it 2-2 and square up the set. Just a hold of throw and Waites has

:29:28. > :29:38.the darts to make it 3-3 in sets. There would be a raw to raise the

:29:39. > :29:45.roof if Waites pulls this one of -- a roar. Durrant is popular but not

:29:46. > :29:49.quite with the support in the auditorium that Scott Waites has.

:29:50. > :29:59.They went wild last night and they want more of the same. Waites

:30:00. > :30:06.throwing to pull level in the match having lost three set in a row.

:30:07. > :30:13.Where did that one come from? Yuck, he says, as he goes to pick them

:30:14. > :30:19.out. Or something similar. Here we go. He has had nine 180s in the

:30:20. > :30:32.match so far. Good darts from Duzza. Waites under

:30:33. > :30:35.a bit of pressure, he couldn't find the right treble. That could be

:30:36. > :30:55.painful and costly. A lot of difference between for- 2

:30:56. > :31:02.and 3- 3 at this stage. -- four -2. What he would give for 180 right

:31:03. > :31:06.now. He cannot even find a treble. Not enough. This is tied. This is

:31:07. > :31:22.really close. He needs a big 1. He does not get

:31:23. > :31:28.it. 126 is not great. It Scott Waites gets a big hit, he can put

:31:29. > :31:34.him under all sorts of pressure. Tonne 40 is a big requirement and he

:31:35. > :31:38.gets it. You feel this might have to be taken out. Treble 19... No.

:31:39. > :31:48.Another 1... Would leave bullseye. Unlucky. 67, Scott Waites, to make

:31:49. > :32:14.it 3- 3. He steadied himself. Just the wrong side of the wire. He

:32:15. > :32:18.cannot believe it. I cannot believe it. Glen Durrant could re-establish

:32:19. > :32:50.a cushion. He nailed that! Game, shot and the

:32:51. > :32:59.6th said. Gladly shaking his head. He knew he had the chance and he

:33:00. > :33:21.could not take it. Glen Durrant held his nerve. A good game of darts.

:33:22. > :33:28.It was looking very much as though Scott Waites was destined to take

:33:29. > :33:35.the set and make it 3- 3 and then it would have Dean in the balance. But

:33:36. > :33:38.it is the 1st to reach 5 and Glen Durrant is a hot favourite as number

:33:39. > :33:46.1 seed to progress to the semifinals. Yes, it is the 1st seed

:33:47. > :33:53.against the 9th seed. Scott Waites has it all to do. The 1st to reach

:33:54. > :33:59.5. He needs to win 3 on a spin and he is hammering the darts into the

:34:00. > :34:04.board. He looks angry, doesn't he? Relentless.

:34:05. > :34:11.Scott Waites needs to get into that herbal patch once more. -- purple

:34:12. > :34:15.patch. No finish on 165. This might be...

:34:16. > :34:48.Treble 17... It looks as though he is going to

:34:49. > :34:59.take it. Double 12... Game, shot and the 1st leg, Glen

:35:00. > :35:48.Glen Durrant has outscored Scott Waites in terms of the maximum. Not

:35:49. > :35:58.much between them in terms of average. Glen Durrant finishing with

:35:59. > :36:03.similar percentages to Scott Waites. Always going to be close. Glen

:36:04. > :36:06.Durrant just with the edge and he is leading for-2 sets and needs just 1

:36:07. > :36:12.more. The semifinal last year. Ageing

:36:13. > :36:33.towards the semifinal again. No finish be Scott Waites. Likewise,

:36:34. > :36:38.Glen Durrant, 191 but he can put his opponent's throw under pressure. He

:36:39. > :36:46.could do with a treble and he finds it. Good last dart. 95 when Glen

:36:47. > :36:50.Durrant comes back to move within 1 leg of victory.

:36:51. > :37:19.Yes, he is buzzing. He can almost touch it. 1 more leg and he will

:37:20. > :37:26.win. He needs 1 more leg for a place in the semifinal.

:37:27. > :37:34.And Scott Waites... His mind is probably on that missed opportunity,

:37:35. > :37:39.to take the leg and said which would have made it 3- 3. That went and

:37:40. > :37:45.since then he just hasn't looked as though he has had quite the same

:37:46. > :37:49.belief. Got to take everything, Scott Waites. Yes, he needs to score

:37:50. > :38:04.a big and hit every single double. But this is class. 180!

:38:05. > :38:11.CHEERING It is top-class, his 10th maximum.

:38:12. > :38:20.12th of the match. And now, he sits on 261. And maybe just 6 darts away

:38:21. > :38:28.from victory. Starting to look terminal for Scott Waites. 2013 was

:38:29. > :38:34.his year. This is his best run at Lakeside since. But it looks like it

:38:35. > :38:40.could be poised to end. That is good from Scott Waites. Can Glen Durrant

:38:41. > :38:41.could be poised to end. That is good win it in style? It would equal the

:38:42. > :39:03.best of the week but no... Used to be indecisive, now he is not

:39:04. > :39:13.quite so sure... He may or may not have to take this out. Treble 17...

:39:14. > :39:15.And the crowd came to life! And he is enjoying their support. They have

:39:16. > :39:30.given him everything. 123. He was not really too close, was he?

:39:31. > :39:37.CHEERING Listen to the crowd.

:39:38. > :39:46.Game, shot and the 3rd leg, Scott Waites!

:39:47. > :39:51.CHEERING Scott Waites to throw 1st. Game on.

:39:52. > :40:00.The crowd does not want this match to finish. Well played, Scott

:40:01. > :40:03.Waites. A really emotional response, he was delighted. That was

:40:04. > :40:12.fantastic. The crowd getting involved.

:40:13. > :40:17.Scott Waites with the thrill and he has to take this leg,

:40:18. > :40:19.Scott Waites with the thrill and he is all over. He needs a treble. Only

:40:20. > :40:33.the single. The crowd is absolutely buzzing. It

:40:34. > :40:34.feels like the Western Terrace at Headingley for an Ashes Test match.

:40:35. > :40:48.Glen Durrant is relentless. Go on!

:40:49. > :40:55.APPLAUSE Find darts from Scott Waites. 283.

:40:56. > :41:03.He misses the treble on the cover shot. Opportunity for Scott Waites,

:41:04. > :41:07.maybe... No finish for Glen Durrant. He is relaxed, enjoying this, Scott

:41:08. > :41:13.Waites. He thinks anything from here is a bonus.

:41:14. > :41:20.CHEERING Brilliant again. C what the

:41:21. > :41:26.responses. -- let's see what the response is. He needs a treble and

:41:27. > :41:38.he cannot find it. The crowd gathered behind Scott Waites.

:41:39. > :41:48.Game, shot and the 4th leg, Scott Waites. You could bottle this

:41:49. > :41:50.atmosphere. It is magic, isn't it? Glen Durrant throwing to hold this

:41:51. > :42:08.leg. For the match. Solid start, not exceptional. He is

:42:09. > :42:11.on a roll. Here he comes again. Here he comes again! 180!

:42:12. > :42:18.CHEERING This is brilliant.

:42:19. > :42:22.That is not lying well, he is having to come down the board, great cover

:42:23. > :42:37.shot. Good shot.

:42:38. > :42:45.APPLAUSE He has been hit with a torrent from

:42:46. > :42:51.Glen Durrant. That is how Scott Waites is, when he gets into the

:42:52. > :42:56.zone, he is just breathtaking. Eye-catching, stunning darts. Can he

:42:57. > :43:06.maintain it? She hopes so. No finish. Looking to set up something

:43:07. > :43:11.tasty... Only 60. 247, for the match, Glen Durrant.

:43:12. > :43:30.But manages to squeeze in another. Big darts. Great 1st dart.

:43:31. > :43:40.Not this time... That would have been but the set. This is for the

:43:41. > :43:43.match. 107, Glen Durrant, the number 1 seed.

:43:44. > :43:54.He cannot do it, Scott Waites breathes again. The Lakeside holds

:43:55. > :43:57.its breath. CHEERING

:43:58. > :44:08.Double 16... To stay alive!

:44:09. > :44:16.CHEERING He takes the set. From a seemingly

:44:17. > :44:20.impossible position. CHEERING

:44:21. > :44:25.Lucy is on her feet. Cheering on her man and a fair few others. That was

:44:26. > :44:31.a quite brilliant response from Scott Waites. Glen Durrant looked as

:44:32. > :44:42.though he was just about home and dry. For-macro-3.

:44:43. > :44:52.This is a tremendous game of darts. 13 scores of 180 in this match. Some

:44:53. > :44:59.sort of a record for the Lakeside, I think. An entire tournament already

:45:00. > :45:05.has the highest number of 180 scorers already seen. And we are

:45:06. > :45:10.still in the quarterfinal stages. Could this be another? Looks like

:45:11. > :45:13.it... 180! CHEERING

:45:14. > :45:25.Great darts. Plenty of room... Just the wrong side of the wire, he

:45:26. > :45:37.thought he was on his way to another 1. He is on a finish.

:45:38. > :45:48.How unlucky can you get? Looking for treble 17. 157, Scott Waites, no

:45:49. > :45:56.finish. Glen Durrant can break the throw. A great last couple of darts.

:45:57. > :46:02.It could be in vain, this would be a big break.

:46:03. > :46:15.He has missed it. Scott Waites, if he can make a couple of 10s... There

:46:16. > :46:21.it is. CHEERING

:46:22. > :46:42.Scott Waites really is 1 who holds the maximum, it is never over until

:46:43. > :46:47.it is over. So close, desperately close, to another maximum. He has

:46:48. > :46:55.not got a clue when he is beaten, he is not beaten, the adrenaline is

:46:56. > :47:00.absolutely pumping. That was good from Glen Durrant, great response.

:47:01. > :47:16.Now... If Scott Waites gets another big hit, 140... And he has done it.

:47:17. > :47:20.Pressure on the throw, yes, there is. And he felt that. That is not

:47:21. > :47:28.like him. Scott Waites needs 128, Glen Durrant

:47:29. > :48:03.is on a finish. He did not like that, did he? 164

:48:04. > :48:09.may have to go at it is not going to. Scott Waites will come back,

:48:10. > :48:13.that is good. 72. The crowd, you don't need me to tell you, will

:48:14. > :48:18.erupt if he puts this away. For the break of throw.

:48:19. > :48:50.Game, shot and the 2nd leg, Glen Durrant.

:48:51. > :48:55.Game, shot and the 2nd leg, Glen like that, he gave them his own

:48:56. > :49:01.personal response. The crowd on the side of Scott Waites. A bit of

:49:02. > :49:08.commotion as he focused for that dart. That was the response.

:49:09. > :49:17.1- 1 legs. darts now. Still in theory,

:49:18. > :49:25.1- 1 legs. advantage in the set which could

:49:26. > :49:30.make it 4- 4. An advantage merely by the fact that he has the throw.

:49:31. > :49:40.These are key moments in what has been a compelling contest.

:49:41. > :49:52.Looked as though it was drifting away from Scott Waites, 3- 1, 4- 2,

:49:53. > :49:58.but he just keeps clawing back. Even when he missed that double in the

:49:59. > :50:03.previous leg, to breakthrough, he did not seemed a bothered. I have

:50:04. > :50:09.got the darts, just focus and hold and then we are going all the way.

:50:10. > :50:14.That is what he reckons but he could do with a treble. He cannot find it,

:50:15. > :50:16.that could be painful and costly. A big visit from Glen Durrant would

:50:17. > :50:22.make things furry interesting. -- make things furry interesting. --

:50:23. > :50:26.very interesting but it is not a big visit.

:50:27. > :50:37.He is on a finish. No finish for Glen Durrant. 6 darts from here.

:50:38. > :50:44.Not great. I wonder whether he might have been better employed to switch

:50:45. > :50:50.away from the 20s? He wanted a lot more than 60. What is Glen Durrant

:50:51. > :50:53.going to set up here? Great last dart. He needed that. Scott

:50:54. > :51:05.Waites... 83, 2- 1 lead. Key moment. Game, shot and the 3rd leg, Scott

:51:06. > :51:23.Waites. 180!

:51:24. > :51:29.CHEERING Maximum number 12.

:51:30. > :51:38.15 for the match, with 3 scored from Scott Waites. It is all going with

:51:39. > :51:46.throw in the set, despite the drama and the 2 and throwing, in the final

:51:47. > :51:53.analysis it is going with throw. -- the toing and froing.

:51:54. > :52:11.Not a lot of difference between them in terms of checkout or average.

:52:12. > :52:21.A little bit of tension, he misses the cover shot. He has got the

:52:22. > :52:44.treble 18, good. The Scott Waites contingent on the

:52:45. > :52:50.left. George on the right... Not in a good place, uncle George.

:52:51. > :53:04.Glen Durrant, under pressure, to hold his throw.

:53:05. > :53:28.Game, shot and the 4th set, Scott Waites. History is being repeated,

:53:29. > :53:29.it would seem, for Scott Waites. Glen Durrant cannot really believe

:53:30. > :53:37.it. CHEERING

:53:38. > :53:42.We go to the deciding set. I hope you are enjoying this as much is we

:53:43. > :53:50.are, this is a cracking game of darts. He trailed 3- 1, 4- 2... What

:53:51. > :53:58.a display of darting resolve once again from Scott Waites. Absolute

:53:59. > :54:05.granite. Astonishing nerve, George. When he is hot, he really is. And

:54:06. > :54:10.playing now for an hour and a half and absolutely nothing between them.

:54:11. > :54:21.They could play another hour and a half for all I care.

:54:22. > :54:27.Both these lads have been practising away from the Lakeside. Add a

:54:28. > :54:30.working men's club down the road and they like to go down there, nice and

:54:31. > :54:43.quiet, hide themselves away. Choosing to quietly practice rather

:54:44. > :54:48.than party. I wonder if they said they are coming or they just rock

:54:49. > :54:52.up. No, they just rock up, they have a long-standing agreement, they are

:54:53. > :55:01.made very welcome and it is a nice little place. We should pop down?

:55:02. > :55:13.We can sort that 1 out. Let's see this 1 through... We don't want to

:55:14. > :55:20.go any for a just yet. He is on a finish. It is with throw... Scott

:55:21. > :55:21.Waites trying to pressure him. Another treble would be good and he

:55:22. > :55:46.founded. -- found it. Low for blow. Yes... Quality. With the throw.

:55:47. > :55:51.Remember, if it goes to-2 they continue and that will have to be a

:55:52. > :55:55.2 legged cushion between them, if it goes 5- 5, it will go to sudden

:55:56. > :56:06.death. I am not sure minor personal standard. You know it is going 5- 5!

:56:07. > :56:24.LAUGHTER -- I am not sure my nerves can standard. That is better.

:56:25. > :56:32.Putting the onus on Glen Durrant. Forcing him to hit big numbers, to

:56:33. > :56:37.put his throw under pressure and he needs a treble. He did not find it.

:56:38. > :56:41.Scott Waites looking strong in this leg, to even it. He could do with a

:56:42. > :57:07.treble. Scott Waites tries to set up a nice

:57:08. > :57:13.finish. 217. Staying on the treble 20. Cannot find it. Dear, that is a

:57:14. > :57:22.loose 1 and he could be made to pay, that could hurt. Not on a finish.

:57:23. > :57:28.Yes, not good. Another 1 of those. Perhaps... Yes... Well, Glen Durrant

:57:29. > :57:35.is now the favourite. The start could make such a huge difference.

:57:36. > :58:03.He just comes up short. 106, Scott Waites. Can he do it? Great 1st

:58:04. > :58:18.dart. The wrong side of the wire! We are

:58:19. > :58:34.all feeling like that. A penny for them, uncle George.

:58:35. > :58:41.Well, well, well... We thought it was all over. But suddenly, the

:58:42. > :58:51.targets get smaller. He drags it underneath the wire. The

:58:52. > :59:28.boys are on their feet. That

:59:29. > :59:34.me? You can keep reality TV, this is about as dramatic as you can get.

:59:35. > :59:41.Scott Waites gets the double he needs.

:59:42. > :59:54.I am exhausted! I have no idea how they are doing it. Bags of drama,

:59:55. > :00:01.heaps of tension, brilliant entertainment at the Lakeside.

:00:02. > :00:10.Scott Waites, the Huddersfield man against the pride of Middlesbrough,

:00:11. > :00:17.Glen Durrant, and still they are locked together. How long have we

:00:18. > :00:31.been playing? An hour and three quarters. Startling darts. Longer

:00:32. > :00:36.than a football match now and this is Boro against Huddersfield on the

:00:37. > :00:46.darting stage. It is longer than a boxing match and it is man against

:00:47. > :00:57.man. From moments like that, Waites can jump all over the throw. This is

:00:58. > :01:04.huge. Yes. That is precisely what he does.

:01:05. > :01:13.Glen Durrant was eliminated in that Titanic struggle against Martin

:01:14. > :01:21.Adams last year in the semifinal. Here in the quarter final, a match

:01:22. > :01:25.of similar intensity and drama. Scott Waites, winner here three

:01:26. > :01:29.years ago, showing brilliant fighting spirit. He is the favourite

:01:30. > :01:49.for the break now. Great darts from Glen Durrant but

:01:50. > :01:55.Scott Waites, 102 to go 2-1 up. Scott has first shot but it is not

:01:56. > :02:02.going to happen. Over to you, Len. 95. -- Glen. He doesn't get the 25

:02:03. > :02:15.he wanted. Not a great attempt. Advantage

:02:16. > :02:25.Waites again. I think he missed counted. Tops to hold.

:02:26. > :02:36.Advantage Waites. 3-1 down, for two down -- 42 down and Scott Waites is

:02:37. > :02:46.now throwing for the match at 2-1 up. I might have to pop outside, I

:02:47. > :02:54.can't bear it! Absolutely the start he wanted. Waites has the bit

:02:55. > :03:08.between his teeth. What has Durrant got left? Now Scott Waites, 361, 40

:03:09. > :03:20.clear already, trying to hold his nerve. Great second and third dart,

:03:21. > :03:29.back in the zone. He knows it is there for him now. Is Durrant

:03:30. > :03:36.wobbling? Great dart. Durrant has got a fabulous temperament but

:03:37. > :03:44.Waites can get inspired and he needs 236 for the match and he has another

:03:45. > :03:51.big score! Another 140. He is on a two dart finish.

:03:52. > :04:08.He is up for an 11 dart and needs 96. Is this it for Scott Waites? No.

:04:09. > :04:17.But he has time, Durrant is not on a finish. The top seed is wobbling. He

:04:18. > :04:24.is way back. Scott Waites will step up, double 18 for a remarkable

:04:25. > :04:30.victory. This has been a great match, a superb match. Durrant not a

:04:31. > :04:35.finish, Waites is poised and there it is! He has done it again! He came

:04:36. > :04:44.from behind to beat Geert De Vos last night and now, 3-1 down, 4-2

:04:45. > :04:48.down, he has come back from the brink and has pulled off a

:04:49. > :04:52.remarkable victory and clinched a place in the semifinals. By any

:04:53. > :04:59.standards, that was an outstanding game of darts, rich in drama and he

:05:00. > :05:02.has beaten Glen Durrant 5-4 and the number one seed is out. Scott Waites

:05:03. > :05:13.marches on. Ladies and gentlemen, your

:05:14. > :05:21.appreciation, Duzza Glen Durrant! CHEERING

:05:22. > :05:26.But through to the semifinals, looking to be Lakeside world

:05:27. > :05:41.champion again in 2016, Scotty 2 Hotty, Scott Waites! CHEERING

:05:42. > :05:51.STUDIO: For those of you who count your chickens before they hatch or

:05:52. > :05:55.spend their winnings before they are won, those who say I told you so

:05:56. > :06:01.before the story has been told, I give you one Mr Scott Waites. There

:06:02. > :06:06.is a light that never goes out inside that man and he has beaten

:06:07. > :06:27.the number one seed here at the Lakeside.

:06:28. > :06:35.Bobby George, everything that Glen Durrant did right in that first

:06:36. > :06:40.session, Scott Waites did it in the final session when it mattered. He

:06:41. > :06:53.did it when it counted. He done the same last night. He was 3-1 down, I

:06:54. > :06:59.thought, not the way Glen is playing. But he done it again,

:07:00. > :07:05.turned out a really exciting game. The way he started the second

:07:06. > :07:12.session, two ton plus finishes. As good as big finishes are, this 121

:07:13. > :07:18.followed by an 122 Thursday in the game. He also took out a clutch

:07:19. > :07:24.double 8. That got it to 3-2 and we thought, if it's going to happen,

:07:25. > :07:32.that was a sure-fire way to let Glen know he has to win it. He pushed him

:07:33. > :07:37.all the way. Glen went a bit, he started to go and went he started

:07:38. > :07:46.hitting the scores, fantastic to watch. Let's take it set by set

:07:47. > :07:50.because Glen went 4-2 up and we thought it was a flash in the pan

:07:51. > :08:01.from Scott when he came out but again, here he goes. This was what

:08:02. > :08:11.he needed to do. Great clutch darts. I said to you, they have to go big

:08:12. > :08:17.shots out to win this. The noise is unbelievable. I wonder who has come

:08:18. > :08:27.onto the balcony! It must be Scott Waites. CHEERING

:08:28. > :08:35.Congratulations. That hope we can hear you. You are the Resurrection

:08:36. > :08:38.in 2016, you will not go home! Exactly, I told you come it's not

:08:39. > :08:47.over until the last dart is thrown and what are game, it was brilliant.

:08:48. > :08:52.-- what a game. We were watching! After last night, was that part of

:08:53. > :08:56.your thought process in the break when you were 3-1 down, that you had

:08:57. > :09:02.been there before? Not really, you want to get it over with. Glen took

:09:03. > :09:06.his chances better than I did early doors and that was the difference.

:09:07. > :09:13.Later on, he seemed to give me a shot at double and I took my

:09:14. > :09:19.chances. We took about strikers needing strong hamstrings, little

:09:20. > :09:23.injuries affect you so much and maybe we underestimate that in darts

:09:24. > :09:28.but how important for you is that you are fully fit with your throw?

:09:29. > :09:36.I'm absolutely shattered now. My arm doesn't feel like it wants to do

:09:37. > :09:41.anything! But that's just me, it's built me back up. As long as I play

:09:42. > :09:46.like that, I'm not bothered. Wonderful stuff. You are someone who

:09:47. > :09:53.can take on the world, you have won here before and before that you were

:09:54. > :09:58.winning the grand slam of darts, a tribute that had only been in Phil

:09:59. > :10:04.Taylor's hands until that stage -- a trophy. Are you approaching that

:10:05. > :10:11.kind of form? I feel my darts are going in all the time, even if it is

:10:12. > :10:27.a big checkout. It's nice to have that. It's great. Why not? Hats off

:10:28. > :10:31.to Duzza. Absolutely. Glen has been in the room composing himself and

:10:32. > :10:35.like the great guy he is he has come out. There are no words of

:10:36. > :10:38.consolation but I would like to say this, look at how you bounced back

:10:39. > :10:44.from your disappointment in the semifinal last year. Yes, to

:10:45. > :10:52.replicate it, it is the same feeling when I played Adams, I'm devastated.

:10:53. > :10:57.All credit to him, he just didn't lie down. It looked as though you

:10:58. > :11:04.were across the line but he did what he did against De Vos last night. He

:11:05. > :11:11.is a terrific player. The crowd got on his site from 4-2 down. I felt

:11:12. > :11:19.really good but I remember tops, 10s and fight and when I missed that...

:11:20. > :11:20.really good but I remember tops, 10s Devastated. -- and 5s. You must take

:11:21. > :11:28.some took a month to get over that defeat

:11:29. > :11:33.against Adams and you can bounce back from this. Maybe five weeks

:11:34. > :11:40.from this one, it's hard to take, I'm really down. It takes the big

:11:41. > :11:46.man to come and talk after the fate -- after a defeat like that. It's

:11:47. > :11:55.great to see that it means as much to him as it does to you. Glen loves

:11:56. > :12:02.it and rightfully he is devastated. He has been probably the best BDO

:12:03. > :12:07.player this year. He deserves it, he is a fantastic player. Up there,

:12:08. > :12:07.player this year. He deserves it, he be honest, he was hammering me in

:12:08. > :12:13.some sets for the he be honest, he was hammering me in

:12:14. > :12:25.doubles. When you came act from the break you hitting that. -- came

:12:26. > :12:31.back. And now Jamie Hughes in the semifinal. Your thoughts? Jamie is a

:12:32. > :12:32.back. And now Jamie Hughes in the great player as well. The last time

:12:33. > :12:38.I played him was in the final in Jersey and he beat

:12:39. > :12:45.I played him was in the final in good game as well, a tough game, it

:12:46. > :12:48.will go all the way. Bobby, you asked why nobody was talking about

:12:49. > :12:55.Scott Waites at the start of the tournament. They are now. He's been

:12:56. > :13:03.hiding away! Not really hiding! Just preparing. You've done it right,

:13:04. > :13:07.son. Congratulations, it's been a wonderful afternoon of darts and you

:13:08. > :13:13.have thrilled us for the last couple of hours. Always a pleasure, Bobby.

:13:14. > :13:17.The other semifinal is yet to be decided, that will be later tonight

:13:18. > :13:24.to see who makes up the second semifinal but this afternoon, Hughes

:13:25. > :13:41.made the news but it has to be said, Scott Waites stole the headlines!

:13:42. > :14:05.Listen to that cheer. It's going to be our year.

:14:06. > :14:10.With a little bit of luck I can see us lift the cup.

:14:11. > :14:12.It's the FA Cup. Anything can happen.

:14:13. > :14:16.I've seen it all before. I reckon we'll score four.
