Second Round: Day 1

:00:33. > :00:42.Good afternoon, despite the fact it is one o'clock on Wednesday, we are

:00:43. > :00:49.heaving here at Lakeside and it is second round time and 16 men are

:00:50. > :00:56.looking to capture the famous old trophy that currently resides in a

:00:57. > :01:01.box under Scott Mitchell's bed. This afternoon, the number one seed is

:01:02. > :01:05.back on stage, he has the Masters and he wants the World Championship

:01:06. > :01:13.as well, Glen Durrant is gunning for glory and he will face Larry Butler

:01:14. > :01:18.who is nicknamed the Eagle, his experience could count. We will have

:01:19. > :01:21.a complete women's quarterfinals line-up after this afternoon,

:01:22. > :01:27.Lorraine Winstanley against Rachel Brookes, and then Jim Williams

:01:28. > :01:32.flying the flag for Wales having whitewashed Tony O'Shea in the first

:01:33. > :01:37.round and he will need to be in good form because he is playing Wesley

:01:38. > :01:45.Harms, the Dutchman winning in five sets against Seigo Asada last night.

:01:46. > :01:50.A warm welcome from Lakeside. We spent an afternoon with the legend

:01:51. > :01:56.who has been around for so long, yesterday I heard him refer to Larry

:01:57. > :02:05.Butler as some! I am old enough! -- son. Second round, apart from the

:02:06. > :02:11.games today, what jumps out at you? Mitchell against McGeeney? Mitchell

:02:12. > :02:19.played very well first round and had a tough game. He kept it together

:02:20. > :02:28.and finished well. A bit of authority on the stage. He played

:02:29. > :02:34.well. I thought he might go a bit first game but he didn't, he raised

:02:35. > :02:37.his game. Mark McGeeney is the unknown quantity, and if he can

:02:38. > :02:43.raise his game, that is more of a contest than people might think.

:02:44. > :02:50.Mark is a very tidy player, I have seen him and he plays very well. He

:02:51. > :02:55.is quiet, no one knows him, only in the darts world. If he starts

:02:56. > :03:03.putting them in, he could do some damage. Scott Waites against good De

:03:04. > :03:06.Vos, that jumps out. I am looking forward to Dawson against Smith will

:03:07. > :05:46.. The new qualification system has

:05:47. > :05:53.given Larry Butler a chance to come here for the second time, 1992 was

:05:54. > :05:56.his last time! They say you remember your defeats as much as your

:05:57. > :06:01.victories. You spoke to him last night when he walked past us, Hiro

:06:02. > :06:09.membered the exact out shot you beat him with about 30 years ago! -- he

:06:10. > :06:16.remembered. He said I played him when he was a little baby, and I

:06:17. > :06:23.went out on 96! He has got a good memory. But he is quite dangerous.

:06:24. > :06:28.America play a shorter format so they are sharp on the out shots.

:06:29. > :06:33.This is longer, he might not play this overlap. His average is right

:06:34. > :06:39.down but his checkout percentage is a brilliant 40%. It is if he can get

:06:40. > :06:47.to those with Durrant's scoring power. It is a longer format, it

:06:48. > :06:51.doesn't hurt you if you lose the first set. If it is best-of-5, you

:06:52. > :06:57.are in trouble but this is longer so we should see better darts. He will

:06:58. > :07:04.take his chance, if Glen gives him a chance, he will take it. You have to

:07:05. > :07:08.be a bit hard edged to win here, Scott Mitchell learned the hard way,

:07:09. > :07:15.Glen Durrant seems to have as well from that interview. He is a nice

:07:16. > :07:25.guy but from now on he is not taking prisoners. Whatever the opponent,

:07:26. > :07:31.you are here to win. Everybody remembers the champion and not the

:07:32. > :07:37.loser. Some people feel different. Everybody has a different approach.

:07:38. > :07:44.Unless I am mistaken, I like watching TV, but isn't that the guy

:07:45. > :07:52.from the Chase Rosti what next? Richard Osmond? Celebrities! Matt

:07:53. > :08:00.Ford was here yesterday. People love their darts, as long as there are

:08:01. > :08:09.doubles and troubles. Is that the guy from the Chase? Yes! I'm not

:08:10. > :08:13.checking him out! Lets get the players on.

:08:14. > :08:24.Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the richest arts organisation,

:08:25. > :08:31.welcome to the 2016 Lakeside World Championships. -- British Darts

:08:32. > :08:41.Organisation. It is the second round here at Lakeside! We now introduce

:08:42. > :08:49.to the stage our USA regional qualifier, a former World Matchplay

:08:50. > :09:03.champion, from Hohaia, the Eagle, Larry Butler! -- from Ohio.

:09:04. > :10:03.We now welcome to the stage Lakeside World Championship semifinalist. He

:10:04. > :10:07.is the current holder of six world ranking titles. He is the world

:10:08. > :10:13.number one, the reigning world Masters champion, England's Glen

:10:14. > :11:17.Durrant! Larry Butler looking to be the

:11:18. > :11:20.star-spangled spanner in the works for Glen Durrant. Over to our

:11:21. > :11:30.commentators. COMMENTATOR: Good afternoon. Then

:11:31. > :11:35.Durrant is the 2-1 favoured to win this BDO World Championships and of

:11:36. > :11:40.course a massive favoured to win this but they know all about each

:11:41. > :11:46.other. In the final of the world Masters last year, Glen Durrant bead

:11:47. > :11:50.Larry Butler but earlier in that week in the qualification for the

:11:51. > :11:57.grand slam, it was Butler who beat Durrant. Speaking to Larry, he says

:11:58. > :12:03.he is more than ready to win this match and is not intimidated by

:12:04. > :12:06.facing the world number one. He is a computer expert from darter no

:12:07. > :12:22.higher -- from Dayton, oh hi oh. He has some support in the crowd,

:12:23. > :12:25.most notably his wife, Sharon. Glen Durrant from Middlesbrough has had a

:12:26. > :12:31.terrific year and if he can replicate that he will take some

:12:32. > :12:34.stopping this week. He has already accounted for Dean Reynolds, he said

:12:35. > :12:41.he felt nervous in the opening match. Can he produced his best

:12:42. > :12:43.today? Ladies and gentlemen, it is the best of seven sets, it is Glen

:12:44. > :12:49.to throw first, game on. I'd tell you what, we could be in

:12:50. > :13:05.for some fireworks. Even the walk on is have got this

:13:06. > :13:11.place a thing. If they produce anything like the darts they did in

:13:12. > :13:17.the grand slam qualifier, only nine legs but still, it was something

:13:18. > :13:22.special. Very high standard. Butler won that 5-4. It went all the way.

:13:23. > :13:37.Butler is a really good finisher. He might not get the big scores but

:13:38. > :13:42.if he gets anything like that and if he can hold Durrant on the scoring

:13:43. > :13:47.power, Butler has the game and finishing power to be right in the

:13:48. > :13:57.mix and maybe even spring what would be a huge upset. Where he plays,

:13:58. > :14:02.Larry Butler, and the sort of matches, they tend to be shorter

:14:03. > :14:08.matches so you don't have time trying to find your double, you

:14:09. > :14:11.either find it or you've lost. And he played something like 35 weekends

:14:12. > :14:21.a year which is a busy itinerary. What a year Glen Durrant has had,

:14:22. > :14:27.since losing to Martin Adams in that fabulous semifinal last year when he

:14:28. > :14:27.averaged nearly 100 but came up short, he

:14:28. > :14:31.averaged nearly 100 but came up tournament to tournament, winning

:14:32. > :14:49.six titles in 2015. Butler has an opportunity in this

:14:50. > :15:03.opening leg. He is ahead against the darts.

:15:04. > :15:14.Let's see about some of that finishing power. Not that time.

:15:15. > :15:27.We with treble 20. It's on... What

:15:28. > :15:35.about that for a way to start a match! A 141 checkout and Larry

:15:36. > :15:42.Butler can only stand and admire and gives him a sporting little round of

:15:43. > :15:45.applause. He treated us to a 144 in the quarterfinals against Darryl

:15:46. > :15:55.Fitton last year, Glen Durrant. In that semifinal against Martin Adams,

:15:56. > :16:01.he hit 13 180s and of course missed three match darts to reach the

:16:02. > :16:12.final, losing 5-3 in the deciding set. He looks very much to have his

:16:13. > :16:17.match head on, that look of steely determination and the 141 checkout.

:16:18. > :16:26.He is such a nice fella away from the stage. But as any player has to

:16:27. > :16:33.be, he has to have that killer instinct and produce darts like

:16:34. > :16:40.that! Opening maximum of the match, could be the first of many. A great

:16:41. > :16:43.chance to break. Butler is nowhere. And Durrant is on 181 after six

:16:44. > :17:08.darts. He is potentially on an 11 darter.

:17:09. > :17:18.Durrant could pick up the first rate of the match. -- first break. He

:17:19. > :17:25.doesn't need to hit it this time and he won't. Still not happy about

:17:26. > :17:34.missing that treble 10. You could see the look of irritation. He can

:17:35. > :17:46.rectify it now with double 16. Beautiful. Two doubles out of two

:17:47. > :17:53.attempts and 2-0 to the good. We talked about Larry Butler's

:17:54. > :17:59.finishing, how about Glen Durrant? 141 with the darts macro in the

:18:00. > :18:08.first leg and a 13 dart leg to follow it. And how about that? He is

:18:09. > :18:23.not the top seed for nothing. The big fella from the United States

:18:24. > :18:29.awakens. We hoped it would be good, we expected it to be good and it is

:18:30. > :18:35.good! It is better than good, it is outstanding already.

:18:36. > :18:52.Nice cover from Butler. How he would love to Nick leg back. He needs to

:18:53. > :19:00.get into this match, Larry. The longer format at this stage, the

:19:01. > :19:08.first 24-macro sets. -- the first to four sets.

:19:09. > :19:24.Butler will come back with 126, not a bad finish also it is all about

:19:25. > :20:00.the 19s. One dart at double 16. 104 making

:20:01. > :20:05.him the winner of the first set. Superb darts, averaging over 98 and

:20:06. > :20:14.three doubles out of three, 100% checkout rate. The only double Larry

:20:15. > :20:23.Butler ain't for was that bullseye in the third leg -- aimed for. We

:20:24. > :20:29.mentioned the finishing would be key and this is just great. Another

:20:30. > :20:33.maximum to start the leg from the top seed. The finishing is perfect

:20:34. > :21:03.and the scoring is not bad either. Quality darts. A three figure

:21:04. > :21:13.average for Durrant. That is why he is giving Butler a bit of a tower

:21:14. > :21:20.link at the moment. -- a bit of a beating. If you missed his opening

:21:21. > :21:30.two matches, Larry Butler, he had to play a luminary round match against

:21:31. > :21:40.James Hurrell. He then beat Ryan De Vreede. They were both 3-2. Durrant

:21:41. > :21:47.on a finish again but not this time but he is a long way clear and

:21:48. > :21:51.setting it up nicely. Those were Butler's first matches on the

:21:52. > :21:56.Lakeside stage since 1992 when he made his debut.

:21:57. > :22:24.When you are that far ahead, you can afford one won the dart at a double.

:22:25. > :22:35.-- wonky dart. He said when he beat Dean Reynolds that he was shaking

:22:36. > :22:41.like a leaf inside. He was really relieved to get through that.

:22:42. > :22:44.Absolutely. The mantle of favouritism obviously carries a

:22:45. > :23:01.pressure with it. He had a real spring in his step for

:23:02. > :23:09.the rest of the day after coming through that match, Glen Durrant. He

:23:10. > :23:15.has had to get his game ahead act on again. He did pretty well because

:23:16. > :23:24.Dean Reynolds is a good player and he won fairly comfortably. -- back

:23:25. > :23:27.on. He looked at his draw and he thought he had a tough one so he was

:23:28. > :24:10.relieved to get it away. 164 is a finish. He has already had

:24:11. > :24:18.141. He will get another visit, Butler is on 225. Larry Butler could

:24:19. > :24:24.do with a score here to leave himself a reasonable finish, if

:24:25. > :24:36.Durrant misses 104. The way he is throwing, that is a big if.

:24:37. > :24:55.He can't do it, treble 20 would put him on two double four.

:24:56. > :25:05.For only his second dart at a double, they have both been at the

:25:06. > :25:11.red brick in the centre. -- read bit.

:25:12. > :25:20.Good darts. Really good. Five doubles out of six. He has won five

:25:21. > :25:38.legs on the spin. Astonishing checking out. Five out

:25:39. > :25:44.of six from the top seed. If you are new to darts, anything over 50% is

:25:45. > :26:03.that a stick. Over 60 is wonderful stuff. -- is fantastic.

:26:04. > :26:10.His actual scoring has gone off the boil a bit, Durrant, after a quite

:26:11. > :26:18.brilliant start. Still scoring heavily enough to have left Larry

:26:19. > :26:30.Butler just two darts at a double and both at bullseye in this in tire

:26:31. > :26:35.match. -- entire match. This is more like it. His fourth maximum of the

:26:36. > :26:59.match already. No outshot, 166 required. But the

:27:00. > :27:08.throw of Butler is under a lot of pressure now.

:27:09. > :27:23.Bullseye again. He went for the 99, maybe he thought he hit the treble.

:27:24. > :27:38.That was a massive miscount. That is a set again, already. Six legs in a

:27:39. > :27:47.row. Six doubles out of seven attempts.

:27:48. > :28:00.Treble 16 would have left double 9, that is his thinking. Here we go

:28:01. > :28:11.again, Glen Durrant. Oh yes! Yes indeed! Five maximums in six and a

:28:12. > :28:18.bit legs. He is back in the zone now. It is wonderful to watch,

:28:19. > :28:26.unless you are Larry Butler. There's another one. Just the wrong side of

:28:27. > :28:35.the wire. He was annoyed to miss it. He is fancying that ?50,000 bonus

:28:36. > :28:41.for the nine-darter. You would not act against him, the way he is

:28:42. > :28:45.throwing at the moment. He has upped his game from his opening match

:28:46. > :28:49.significantly. We thought he had another gear to go into against Dean

:28:50. > :29:00.Reynolds and he is starting to show it.

:29:01. > :29:19.He doesn't have to take it out and he won't. Again, Butler is way back.

:29:20. > :29:24.You have two feel a bit for Larry Butler. He has not got into the

:29:25. > :29:28.match, he has not been given an opportunity, he has been battered

:29:29. > :29:38.out there and is not scoring heavily enough. Double 16 for a seventh leg

:29:39. > :29:55.in a row. Seven doubles out of eight. Genuinely extraordinary.

:29:56. > :30:05.Larry Butler has had just three darts at a double, all at bullseye,

:30:06. > :30:16.so his average for his first nine darts are almost identical. He is

:30:17. > :30:19.just being swamped. They take a break at the end of the next set and

:30:20. > :30:22.it can't come soon enough for Butler. He desperately needs to get

:30:23. > :30:32.into this match somehow. He's simply not being allowed to,

:30:33. > :30:37.they say you play the board and not the man that when the man is

:30:38. > :30:39.throwing the sort of darts that Glen Durrant is a that is the sort of

:30:40. > :30:48.thing that is very difficult to do. The Japanese player with an American

:30:49. > :31:03.flag! Both looked rather forlorn than

:31:04. > :31:11.they? Just at the moment. Onto a finish again, already. I tell you

:31:12. > :31:17.what, you would not be surprised if he took this out. He has had five

:31:18. > :31:20.maximums, need another couple of treble 20s before the Bill. Not this

:31:21. > :31:51.time. Again, must start with the treble 20

:31:52. > :32:04.and does. Another one. For double 1440 148.

:32:05. > :32:17.You would watch a lot of darts matches before use finishing like

:32:18. > :32:27.this. 89% out rate. Eight legs in a row. Eight doubles in nine attempts.

:32:28. > :32:41.Extraordinarily. Sensational. Brilliant arts. -- darts. Just one

:32:42. > :32:49.more lake to go free sets up. -- leg. The wife of Larry Butler. She

:32:50. > :32:57.has not been cheering much but that 140 was much needed.

:32:58. > :33:04.Has he got it in him to be able to fight back, does he have the game to

:33:05. > :33:10.do that? If he keeps doing this, maybe. Larry Butler might be first

:33:11. > :33:52.to finish. That was unlucky, the second dart.

:33:53. > :34:02.So close to being another maximum. Cannot be done. He's still had just

:34:03. > :34:04.three darts at bullseye to win legs. Just that to show for eight legs of

:34:05. > :34:12.darts. Topsy needs. Must hit it, does hit

:34:13. > :35:15.it. This is better. His third maximum of

:35:16. > :35:35.the match. We have had seven already. Chanting USA again.

:35:36. > :35:42.One thing you can say about Larry is he has a very good temperament, he

:35:43. > :35:52.does just keep chugging along. Absolutely right.

:35:53. > :36:12.Treble 20s needed. Leads himself with a tonne when he comes back.

:36:13. > :36:20.Will not want to lose this set. Glen Durrant.

:36:21. > :36:25.But Butler is right back and it if he takes this out. Great dart. Tops.

:36:26. > :37:00.To level. Needed two trebles to start. Double

:37:01. > :37:05.10 for Butler. Only got 100. Six. -- only got one double out of six. We

:37:06. > :37:17.have talked about what a good finisher he is and he is not showing

:37:18. > :37:31.it. Tops, for a free set lead. -- 3-set. Half the crowd thought it was

:37:32. > :37:35.in. Middlesbrough on his top, they are going all the way in the

:37:36. > :37:46.championship at the moment, Glenn Durrant going very nicely indeed. He

:37:47. > :37:50.warmed up with Mark from the chase but she is streets ahead so far

:37:51. > :38:01.against Larry Butler. Masterminding a 3-set lead. Bobby George, big

:38:02. > :38:09.words before his second-round match and they were big darts to back it

:38:10. > :38:18.up. 89% on the is unbelievable. Scoring so well as well. Down to

:38:19. > :38:21.75%. The tonne plus finishes was the showbiz, three of them coming from

:38:22. > :38:30.all different parts of the board. Lovely stuff. 104. 141. 148. Butler

:38:31. > :38:36.is good at finishing but he had a chance to take

:38:37. > :38:40.is good at finishing but he had a before that he missed three

:38:41. > :38:43.is good at finishing but he had a bullseyes. The scoring

:38:44. > :38:46.is good at finishing but he had a there. He is under pressure if he's

:38:47. > :38:48.got a shot because he knows the next game if he doesn't score you will

:38:49. > :38:54.get beaten up again. At this game if he doesn't score you will

:38:55. > :38:59.Glenn Durrant on our 100 average, it dipped because I suppose he

:39:00. > :39:04.Glenn Durrant on our 100 average, it finding himself comfortably ahead,

:39:05. > :39:10.ahead by 100 points, 200 points. So you start feel like you are playing

:39:11. > :39:16.yourself at times. It is nice to do that, when you're playing well, it's

:39:17. > :39:20.like practice session. He is playing a game when he is practising but

:39:21. > :39:25.what he was there, it was a practice game because Butler put no pressure

:39:26. > :39:29.on him. He will obviously play well. If Butler starts hitting good scores

:39:30. > :39:36.and putting pressure on it could turn the game around but he has to

:39:37. > :39:38.buck up quickly. From the walk on, sometimes from this position on the

:39:39. > :39:43.balcony sometimes from this position on the

:39:44. > :39:46.we see that camera don't see and when Glen Durrant was coming out

:39:47. > :39:52.Larry Butler was trying to remember where to stand on the stage, he

:39:53. > :39:59.looked anxious to me. It is a big occasion, 22 years between Lakeside

:40:00. > :40:08.appearances. He's worked hard, he had to qualify. But remember, it has

:40:09. > :40:12.been 22 years and you don't want to leave at another 22 years so he

:40:13. > :40:21.wants to play well to see if he can get further in the tournament and he

:40:22. > :40:25.was a bit lost up there to be fair. He was snatching the first

:40:26. > :40:29.was a bit lost up there to be fair. then he started throwing a bit

:40:30. > :40:36.straighter and started scoring. What about when you are playing somebody

:40:37. > :40:40.like Glenn Durrant, 75%, you have been in that situation we have been

:40:41. > :40:43.hitting doubles but you have also been the other player, what's it

:40:44. > :40:48.like when you know your opponent is likely to hit it when he gets to it.

:40:49. > :40:54.You don't like it, in your mind you thinking miss. But that's the game,

:40:55. > :40:59.beat your opponent, keep on top and don't give them a chance but

:41:00. > :41:06.sometimes the break-out is the player who is not playing well.

:41:07. > :41:16.Let's see Butler, if he is playing any better. I know he is a set away

:41:17. > :41:20.and every penny I have would be on him to win, but Larry throwing fast

:41:21. > :41:25.so if you look at it from a tennis point of view he is one set behind.

:41:26. > :41:30.If he holds his throw and turns his game around, I don't think you well,

:41:31. > :41:36.but it's only the set after this one he has to win to be 3-3. If he holds

:41:37. > :41:39.his darts he has every chance to get back in the game. Glenn looking

:41:40. > :42:14.untouchable at the moment. COMMENTATOR: We do sometimes see big

:42:15. > :42:18.turnarounds after a little breaks. We saw one big turnaround last night

:42:19. > :42:30.didn't we? Ryan Dawson coming fighting back when he was 2-0 down.

:42:31. > :42:33.Winning 3-2 against John Walton. Had a couple of darts at double tops to

:42:34. > :42:43.win the match and still wasn't fazed. Butler needs to be as scrappy

:42:44. > :42:54.as he was. Speaking of darts to win and match, Glen Durrant had three

:42:55. > :42:59.darts to reach the final here last year and even though he put it out

:43:00. > :43:04.of his mind to the extent that he won six ranking titles and got

:43:05. > :43:10.himself seeded number one, and unquestionably I think has been the

:43:11. > :43:14.best player on the BDO circuits, it must have rankled. Somewhere in the

:43:15. > :43:21.back of his mind, those darts must have rankled. You still have to do

:43:22. > :43:26.it when you get up there. Might have run of form behind him but he's got

:43:27. > :43:29.to produce. Look at the PPC and Michael van Gerwen, the year he had,

:43:30. > :43:55.when it came to the World Championships he was found wanting.

:43:56. > :44:05.Larry on the throw, has to take out 103.

:44:06. > :44:25.Two missed doubles in a row? We've not seen that from him yet.

:44:26. > :44:32.His nose is ahead and that is a break of throw. So now it looks as

:44:33. > :44:42.though it will take a miracle for Butler to get back into this.

:44:43. > :44:59.He was pleased with that last dart. With good reason.

:45:00. > :45:03.Averaging over 100, Glen Durrant, with his first nine darts. 96.2

:45:04. > :45:21.overall. Pretty nice. The finishing is not shabby either.

:45:22. > :45:26.Despite those two missed doubles in a row in the last leg, ten from 15,

:45:27. > :45:33.you will take that any day of the week. To write.

:45:34. > :45:56.Has to break the throw. Still not on a finish however. Glen Durrant will

:45:57. > :46:09.have first pop at finishing this. Coming down the board. Very handy

:46:10. > :46:17.indeed, nicely placed. He has miscoded once, make sure you don't

:46:18. > :46:20.do it again Larry. -- miscounted. I don't think he was about to do that.

:46:21. > :46:45.74. 20, Fort Ops. -- for tops. Don't think she will be for the cup

:46:46. > :47:08.that flag before too long. Just as Larry Butler may have

:47:09. > :47:21.sniffed another opportunity Glen Durrant extinguishes those hopes.

:47:22. > :47:36.One more leg for the match. He's only won one all match, Butler.

:47:37. > :47:54.Anything you can do... Matching Butler 's 140 opener. Now he could

:47:55. > :48:11.put him under some pressure. Not lying well, coming down the board.

:48:12. > :48:18.It's not been a tight match, it's not been a close match, it's not

:48:19. > :48:23.been an exciting match but it's been fascinating to watch because of what

:48:24. > :48:34.Len Durrant did principally in the first two sets but is still doing

:48:35. > :48:57.now. Potential 12 dart if he takes out 124 to win the match.

:48:58. > :49:06.It would have been a fitting way to finish.

:49:07. > :49:10.It would have been a fitting way to 93 to keep the match alive.

:49:11. > :49:18.It would have been a fitting way to 19 would leave double 8. Cannot do

:49:19. > :49:23.It would have been a fitting way to it now. 25, for 4-0. The

:49:24. > :49:32.Middlesborough contingent still screaming their support. Their man

:49:33. > :49:43.is very close to the finishing line. Double 8 away. And there it is. I

:49:44. > :49:54.truly sparkling performance from the top seed. He has blown Larry Butler

:49:55. > :49:59.of the oche. -- off. Butler only won one leg. Glen Durrant, the top seed,

:50:00. > :50:06.through to the quarterfinals. And how. Ladies and gentlemen, as he

:50:07. > :50:10.leaves the stage, Larry Butler! But through to the quarterfinals, Glen

:50:11. > :50:36.Durrant! The Butler just got served. Glen

:50:37. > :50:39.Durrant showing why he is the number one seed and the cloud waiting on

:50:40. > :51:02.him hand and foot -- the crowd. When you are not being pushed,

:51:03. > :51:07.coming back from the break and breaking the throw straightaway, to

:51:08. > :51:09.continue to hit in average in the high 90s and check out more than

:51:10. > :51:14.happy double attempts take some going. He played very well, 50% and

:51:15. > :51:27.percent at doubles. All the man from a

:51:28. > :51:38.constantly under pressure. All the the man from a

:51:39. > :51:41.that is what you have got to do. What's the difference

:51:42. > :51:52.that is what you have got to do. months ago? I thought he played

:51:53. > :51:57.really well last year. The more he wins the more confidence he gets.

:51:58. > :52:01.Won the Masters only a month ago and winning all the biggest tournaments

:52:02. > :52:09.in the BDO and playing the same of the way through. The more you

:52:10. > :52:13.in the BDO and playing the same of it is lovely. The more times you

:52:14. > :52:19.stand on this balcony the more times you have won. Let's bring the man

:52:20. > :52:22.himself in. I just asked about the difference between you from now and

:52:23. > :52:27.12 months ago and you are the best man to ask, is just the winning

:52:28. > :52:33.mentality? That game against Martin Adams has been defining moment. I've

:52:34. > :52:38.worked really hard since that game. I feel great on the stage, fantastic

:52:39. > :52:44.to play on it. You just don't want to do feel defeat on the stage this

:52:45. > :52:51.year. I love the way you are saying you want to win, you are the man. I

:52:52. > :52:57.apologise if I come across as arrogant, I don't want that. But the

:52:58. > :53:00.disappointment lasted over a month last year from Martin Adams. It's

:53:01. > :53:06.wonderful to be up there again winning darts. You were consummate

:53:07. > :53:12.up there, never in trouble, all credit to Larry for qualifying and

:53:13. > :53:16.getting back year after 22 years but that was a dominant performance.

:53:17. > :53:23.Assess it yourself, the first set and half of the second set you could

:53:24. > :53:26.not miss. Larry Butler is a legend and will always be on my raise a

:53:27. > :53:30.because I played him in the Masters final but before the match I was

:53:31. > :53:41.practising really well, to get onto the stage. Delighted. You are

:53:42. > :53:46.chastising yourself, it felt like you were in that type of zone.

:53:47. > :53:53.That's a great word, I was in the zone. It's part of the game. Larry

:53:54. > :53:56.is a real legend, but for hand we had a good chat. Afterwards he was

:53:57. > :54:04.fantastic, just talking to them, very chuffed. Looking at that part

:54:05. > :54:05.of the draw, these final parts mean Glen Durrant is waiting for either

:54:06. > :54:18.Scott Thwaites or get divorce. I enjoyed the Brian Dawson game last

:54:19. > :54:32.night. Scott is a grand slam winner and I would

:54:33. > :54:37.be delighted to play against him. The confidence is wonderful, excited

:54:38. > :54:45.every time you step on the stage. You started the programme

:54:46. > :54:49.fantastically, thank you. Let's get onto the women, almost into the

:54:50. > :54:54.quarterfinals as it stands. Just one match which we will get you in a

:54:55. > :55:09.second. If we can sum up the women, shocks everywhere. We have lost

:55:10. > :55:14.Fallon Sherrock. It's been exciting. The Golden girl against the lady who

:55:15. > :55:18.has won the last two titles, it's like the old guard and the new guard

:55:19. > :55:28.coming together. That be interesting. I think we so will win.

:55:29. > :55:37.Trina has been struggling -- I think Lisa will win. Before we concentrate

:55:38. > :55:51.on the court finals we need to concentrate on the last three, one

:55:52. > :55:55.more Place up for grabs. At last, it seems like you have been waiting and

:55:56. > :56:00.age for this match. It's been a long week but I'm enjoying it. Do you

:56:01. > :56:05.think it's better in some ways to be the last of the first-round action?

:56:06. > :56:15.I am not sure, in previous years I played early. And quite happy to be

:56:16. > :56:21.later this time. Semifinalist in 2012, you lost, this could be an

:56:22. > :56:28.opportunity, if you get past this first-round match, to avenge that

:56:29. > :56:32.defeat, is it on your mind? It's not, I take every game as it comes.

:56:33. > :56:37.You take the one in front of you first which is what I focusing on.

:56:38. > :56:44.What about Rachel, what is your gut feeling? I have played her a few

:56:45. > :56:46.times, she is a good friend. We play Yorkshire County together, you

:56:47. > :56:52.cannot underestimate anybody, you have to go in focused and prepare

:56:53. > :56:58.the best you can. How much does it help having been here, knowing they

:56:59. > :57:05.got to the final in 2011, he knows what you're going through? He does,

:57:06. > :57:09.and to be fair it's nice for me to give him the experience which he

:57:10. > :57:14.gives me when I go and support him when he is playing in the PDC. To

:57:15. > :57:18.have him here is everything and I have my girls coming down to support

:57:19. > :57:23.me as well. I'm looking forward to seeing them, it's been a long week

:57:24. > :57:27.without them. Our pull, lament of support and we look forward to

:57:28. > :57:30.seeing your husband jumping up and down on his seat as we know he will.

:57:31. > :57:55.-- full complement of support. She has to push yourself to keep up

:57:56. > :58:05.to his standard. She travels the world. I think this is a real match,

:58:06. > :58:19.I would not like to go either way on it. Sometimes the doubles let them

:58:20. > :58:25.down. Whoever gets the doubles Sharp will win this match but I would not

:58:26. > :58:28.like to see who is going to do it. Lorraine says she doesn't mind

:58:29. > :58:33.settling in and getting herself together, we been here from Friday

:58:34. > :58:38.night, the first games were Saturday 1pm and we are already midweek and

:58:39. > :58:45.she's not throw and dart yet. She's practised. But it's nice to have the

:58:46. > :58:49.atmosphere and meet the people. They don't pester you here. If you come

:58:50. > :58:54.down before your game, you meet everyone, if you come on the day you

:58:55. > :58:56.are going to play, how are you doing, how are your darts? You are

:58:57. > :59:03.not concentrate on what you are doing, but she has had time to get

:59:04. > :59:08.everything in the order and can concentrate on the darts. I think

:59:09. > :59:12.it's a good thing and meet everyone and you can settle. To the oche once

:59:13. > :59:26.more. Ladies and gentlemen this is the

:59:27. > :59:29.2016 Lakeside World Championships and we look to complete the

:59:30. > :59:39.quarterfinal line-up in the ladies competition. Here at the home of

:59:40. > :59:44.world darts, the Lakeside! We now bring to the stage a former Lakeside

:59:45. > :59:50.World Championship semifinalist, a winner of nine world ranking titles,

:59:51. > :59:52.a former British Open champion, the reigning German open champion, it is

:59:53. > :01:00.Lorraine Winstanley! We now welcome a former world

:01:01. > :01:02.Masters finalist, a former Finland open and Turkish open champion, it

:01:03. > :02:02.is Rachel Brooks! win by name but will it be win by

:02:03. > :02:09.nature? Winstanley will give no quarter against Rachel Brooks. To

:02:10. > :02:14.talk us through it, John Rawling and George Riley. COMMENTATOR: Great to

:02:15. > :02:21.have Alan Partridge with is enjoying the darts. I think I spotted Hulk

:02:22. > :02:26.Hogan as well. Looking forward to this, Lorraine Winstanley against

:02:27. > :02:33.Rachel Brooks will stop Winstanley got to the semifinals in 2012.

:02:34. > :02:35.Seeded number six this year, and she has had a good year, she beat Zoe

:02:36. > :02:45.Jones to has had a good year, she beat Zoe

:02:46. > :02:48.three other finals. These are Yorkshire county team-mates. Rachel

:02:49. > :02:55.Brooks, quarterfinal last year, it was an epic as well,

:02:56. > :03:00.Brooks, quarterfinal last year, it end by Sharon Prince. A couple of

:03:01. > :03:11.finals in 2015, the Finnish Masters and Polish Open. John Walton has

:03:12. > :03:17.just popped his head in and he said he can't call this one. Deta Hedman

:03:18. > :03:28.awaits the winner. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, first set, first leg,

:03:29. > :03:31.Lorraine to throw first, game on. Lorraine Winstanley with the darts,

:03:32. > :03:38.getting the action underway. Best Lorraine Winstanley with the darts,

:03:39. > :03:44.three sets. There is Dean Winstanley, Lorraine's husband,

:03:45. > :04:07.ranked 29th in the PDC world rankings right now.

:04:08. > :04:14.This is for the final quarterfinal place. All four quarterfinals on

:04:15. > :04:24.Thursday. For the last three place. All four quarterfinals on

:04:25. > :04:28.Lorraine Winstanley has gone out in the first round and she will be

:04:29. > :04:38.wanting to put that run to an end. She is the number six seed here.

:04:39. > :04:49.Rachel Brooks is number nine in the BDO rankings. She is a Doncaster

:04:50. > :04:53.lass, Rachel. Lorraine and Dean have lived in Buxton for the last five

:04:54. > :05:20.years or so. Steady start from Winstanley.

:05:21. > :05:29.Four straight tonnes for Lorraine Winstanley. You would take that

:05:30. > :05:39.every time. She will come back with 101 for the first leg. If she gets

:05:40. > :05:45.this checkout, she will be improving her average. Treble 20 would have

:05:46. > :06:00.left double 19. 109 for Rachel Brooks. Plenty of

:06:01. > :06:10.fancy dress and outrageous headwear, wigs and goodness knows what. I saw

:06:11. > :06:18.a bloke who looked like Roy Wood out of Wizard. That is a seriously bad

:06:19. > :06:23.shirt that Dean is wearing! Those are his daughters with him, I wonder

:06:24. > :06:32.what they make of it! To strike first...

:06:33. > :06:49.68 to take the leg against the throw. Lorraine can hardly bring

:06:50. > :06:53.herself to watch. Tops. Good finishing, 68 checkout for a leg

:06:54. > :07:09.against the throw. And a leg she was never really in.

:07:10. > :07:32.100, 100, 100, 100 from Winstanley but not able to take it out.

:07:33. > :07:43.Scoring is not the problem. It was where it went wrong when she put in

:07:44. > :07:45.those four tonnes in the first place, including a couple of missed

:07:46. > :08:00.doubles. A wry smile, that was not far away

:08:01. > :08:03.from 140. There is Ann-Louise Peters who will play Zoe Jones in the

:08:04. > :08:12.quarterfinals. Peters knocked out Fallon Sherrock, one of the big

:08:13. > :08:33.favourites. She threw very well. She put Fallon right out of her rhythm.

:08:34. > :08:45.If you were wondering where she was, panic over! In safe hands here at

:08:46. > :09:07.the Lakeside. Get yourself down here as well, Vern.

:09:08. > :09:17.Lorraine Winstanley is in a great place here to break straight back

:09:18. > :09:32.after 100, 140, and 81. This is good throwing.

:09:33. > :09:46.That's the issue can hit her doubles this time. How many treble 1s has

:09:47. > :09:54.she hit in this leg? Far too many. Tops to break back. Averaging north

:09:55. > :10:03.of 90, 94 from Winstanley but it is the doubles that have caused the

:10:04. > :10:12.trouble. She needs to settle down, she can't afford to let this get

:10:13. > :10:13.into her head. Zero out of five now. Brooks is way back, though. Surely

:10:14. > :10:32.she will not make a hash of this. So, attempt number six at 44

:10:33. > :10:42.Lorraine Winstanley. Double 5. And the chance goes again. This is

:10:43. > :10:53.starting to get damaging. 169, no checkout of course.

:10:54. > :11:05.Yet another treble 1. I think a fifth of the leg. Double 2. Where

:11:06. > :11:24.has that gone? The 10th throw at double finally

:11:25. > :11:27.lands and we are back on serve. I think there would have been a quiet

:11:28. > :11:33.thank goodness for that when she got that in. Her game is really good

:11:34. > :11:43.apart from her doubles. You could see that from the different in the

:11:44. > :11:49.averages, Winstanley averaging 79. But the first nine darts, she is

:11:50. > :12:03.just shy of 107. It is the doubles that have been damaging.

:12:04. > :12:27.Outstanding again. Scoring really heavily.

:12:28. > :12:40.Nice bit of headwear. Not sure it fits!

:12:41. > :12:59.We ought to have a Lakeside ladies day. Good hat, I like that one.

:13:00. > :13:10.That is not quite so good. I think he might have been here a couple of

:13:11. > :13:23.hours already! That was an excellent dart.

:13:24. > :13:28.Absolutely, 74 when she comes back. Lorraine Winstanley has not been

:13:29. > :13:35.able to get a double for love nor money. She is throwing a tidy game

:13:36. > :13:45.and this would put her ahead for the first time. Single 20 to leave tops.

:13:46. > :14:01.First time this time! She is a good player at her best,

:14:02. > :14:07.Lorraine, former winner of the British Open and Scottish Open, the

:14:08. > :14:12.Welsh Masters and the Gold cup. She won the German Open this year and

:14:13. > :14:18.three more ranking competitions won the German Open this year and

:14:19. > :14:27.well. There is her practice partner, Dean.

:14:28. > :14:37.Two daughters sitting watching as well, they gave mum a big hug as she

:14:38. > :14:46.made her way in on the walk to the stage.

:14:47. > :14:55.She is a long-suffering wife of a major, major petrol head! You

:14:56. > :15:01.wondered what I was going to save them, didn't you? I did! -- going to

:15:02. > :15:12.say. He has some sort of monstrous

:15:13. > :15:21.Vauxhall which churns out something like 400 odd brake horsepower.

:15:22. > :15:27.Correct me if I'm wrong but was that not Lorraine Winstanley's first 180

:15:28. > :15:33.here since 2012? I will leave you to that but it might well be the fact.

:15:34. > :15:39.You want to sit around swotting up that sort of statistic, go for it! I

:15:40. > :15:48.am going to stick to my guns, I think it was.

:15:49. > :16:06.Going for a major anorak sponsorship, George Riley. 167 then.

:16:07. > :16:14.This would be as good as a maximum. Still behind in this leg. 137 for

:16:15. > :16:38.Rachel Brooks. This do hold. -- to hold. Single 18

:16:39. > :16:53.to set it up now. Hot favourite to win this one. Lorraine Winstanley,

:16:54. > :16:55.158. Good start. I don't think that is in, no. The facial expression

:16:56. > :17:24.tells you. But a good leave. One out of one. So far. Not this

:17:25. > :17:31.time. Tops. Neatly done. John Walton was spot on when he said that it was

:17:32. > :17:39.a really difficult one to pick. Very well matched players. Lorraine

:17:40. > :17:46.Winstanley throwing very well but she is being held, she is averaging

:17:47. > :17:56.84.3 three. Lisa Ashton's average in the final last year was less than

:17:57. > :18:18.that. -- 84.33. That is more like it from Rachel. 11th darts. -- 11.

:18:19. > :19:00.Lorraine looking like she will have first crack at the finish.

:19:01. > :19:15.Good, solid darts. Rachel Brooks is on a finish. That is two in.

:19:16. > :19:25.Excellent 140. 161 for the first set. That is the

:19:26. > :19:53.one. She has missed treble 13. Checking

:19:54. > :19:58.where the score is. Now she can do no more than leave something decent.

:19:59. > :20:11.All the 20s for Rachel Brooks. To take the first set, having been

:20:12. > :20:24.heavily outscored. The one again. It's not going to happen. It wasn't

:20:25. > :20:33.the best, was it? Lorraine Winstanley, 56 to take the opening

:20:34. > :20:36.set, tops again. Good darts. Lorraine Winstanley takes a tight

:20:37. > :21:01.opening set. She takes it 3-2. Come on, Rachel, was the shout from

:21:02. > :21:10.the audience. Third Lakeside, ranked number nine in the world.

:21:11. > :21:14.Both of them Yorkshire county players of course. They know each

:21:15. > :21:40.other, and their games, inside out. Good darts. No doubt that the

:21:41. > :21:46.women's game is improving, there is no earthly reason why the women

:21:47. > :22:11.should not be throwing as well as the men. Time will come.

:22:12. > :22:23.Good afternoon, Robin. Just taking a break from saving the world with a

:22:24. > :22:26.glass of something cooling and watching the darts. Even superheroes

:22:27. > :22:40.need some downtime. We have had a Darth Vader here, I

:22:41. > :22:49.thought we might have had Chewbacca, but not yet. It would be a brave man

:22:50. > :22:54.or woman to come in that costume. Given how hot it can get in here. My

:22:55. > :23:06.little lad would be very impressed if he turned up.

:23:07. > :23:17.Winstanley waiting on 157, having taken the first set. Let's see what

:23:18. > :23:36.she can make of it, against the throw. No checkout for Brooks. In a

:23:37. > :23:37.good place now. Can Brooks pressure the throw? Not if she keeps hitting

:23:38. > :23:58.one. This is to take an advantage in the

:23:59. > :24:04.second set. The winner will play Deta Hedman in the next round.

:24:05. > :24:20.This is to hold. She will be down for 19s. Treble 19 would leave a

:24:21. > :24:39.shot at bullseye. It will be Winstanley coming back.

:24:40. > :25:00.Good darts. And she has broken the throw. She has outgrown Rachel

:25:01. > :25:11.Brooks here, Lorraine Winstanley -- out-thrown. She is starting to motor

:25:12. > :25:16.now as well. That looked a bit like Steve Smith, the old high jumper.

:25:17. > :25:27.Surely not, dressed like that at the darts! He will be pleased with you!

:25:28. > :25:38.He always was a skinny type. He is a good lad, Steve, he will see the

:25:39. > :25:41.funny side. I hope! That is former high jumpers, Sheffield Wednesday

:25:42. > :25:47.fans, your list is getting quite long and it is only Wednesday! I

:25:48. > :25:56.just have to rely on the hope that people have a sense of humour!

:25:57. > :26:06.Plenty of that at the darts. Scottish contingent.

:26:07. > :26:16.The scoring has just dipped from Winstanley. The first nine dart

:26:17. > :26:38.average, which had been over a ton, now down at 94.

:26:39. > :26:45.Good shot, that second underneath. Dean appreciating his

:26:46. > :27:22.wife's efforts. This is more like it. She is on to a

:27:23. > :27:31.finish. And Rachel Brooks is struggling a bit up there, three

:27:32. > :27:47.visits of 40 in this leg. This may be another one. 116 to make it

:27:48. > :27:53.visits of 40 in this leg. This may already once set up. A nice, solid

:27:54. > :27:57.60, she is well clear. Yes, nothing by way of pressure

:27:58. > :28:18.60, she is well clear. Yes, nothing Rachel Brooks at the moment. Need a

:28:19. > :28:27.treble. 56 then, 16 for tops. And beautifully done. 2-0 and she is one

:28:28. > :28:33.leg away from victory now. She has thrown well today, George. She has

:28:34. > :28:42.thrown really well. Brooks is struggling, but Winstanley's darts

:28:43. > :28:51.have been relentless. Still above 80. And she is hitting the doubles

:28:52. > :28:56.now. On this sort of form, she is going to give Deta Hedman an

:28:57. > :29:12.argument. Second maximum of the match.

:29:13. > :29:23.And closing in on a win. That was the first 180.

:29:24. > :29:38.A stifled smile as there were some pantomime boos from the crowd. I

:29:39. > :29:53.think Dean knows that the winning line is poised to arrive here.

:29:54. > :30:08.Good darts again. She is on a finish now. And certainly not looking as

:30:09. > :30:14.though the wheels are about to fly off any time soon. Brooks is just

:30:15. > :30:21.not scoring heavily enough to put any pressure on.

:30:22. > :30:37.For the match. That is the one. Good last dart.

:30:38. > :30:47.Lorraine Winstanley gathers her thoughts knowing that she will have

:30:48. > :30:52.three shots at tops, she has hit three of seven at double top so far

:30:53. > :31:05.and the next visit will be for a place in the quarter final.

:31:06. > :31:12.Lorraine Winstanley ultimately winning that very comfortably. 2-0.

:31:13. > :31:20.The family congratulate her. The crowd enjoyed it. On that form she

:31:21. > :31:25.will take a bit of beating. Ladies and gentlemen let's hear it for both

:31:26. > :31:29.players as they leave the stage, Rachel Brooks and through to the

:31:30. > :31:50.quarterfinals, Lorraine Winstanley! CHEERING

:31:51. > :31:58.That is the player we know in terms of scoring average, average of

:31:59. > :32:18.almost 85, the first nine dart average just under the tonne.

:32:19. > :32:24.Lisa Ashton, I am mixing up all the names, we give her so much credit

:32:25. > :32:29.for how she has played in the last couple of years, coming off big

:32:30. > :32:33.games with big finishes, averaging between 82 and 87, taking out a

:32:34. > :32:39.third of doubles and that is what we just support from Lorraine

:32:40. > :32:46.Winstanley. That scoring was like, I mean, the darts did not wonder, nice

:32:47. > :32:50.and straight. The only thing was, a bit scrappy on the doubles. When she

:32:51. > :32:57.got settled in and was hitting the doubles she really, really good game

:32:58. > :33:06.of darts. Ended up hitting one out of every three doubles, at one stage

:33:07. > :33:10.it was down at ten, 12% so it shows she got better and better. Average

:33:11. > :33:20.84, if she had hit the doubles that average would have been higher. She

:33:21. > :33:29.played really solid darts. Never in trouble, let's bring her end, what a

:33:30. > :33:34.performance, just saying, post-84 average, almost 101st nine dart

:33:35. > :33:44.average, 33% of checkouts, you will take that? Every time. I have lost

:33:45. > :33:50.my voice, I am squeaking! Does shouting at your husband do that?

:33:51. > :33:56.All the time. You are in the batch of players that we think it she

:33:57. > :34:04.plays like we know she can play, she might win the title. I am very

:34:05. > :34:10.pleased with how I have played today. I put the work in and it paid

:34:11. > :34:14.off today. On to the next. I think it is amazing you have come to do

:34:15. > :34:19.this interview because you are properly Marge Simpson at the

:34:20. > :34:23.moment. Save your voice. Everyone knows how respected she is but she

:34:24. > :34:29.had to turn it on the stage and she has done that, we cannot talk about

:34:30. > :34:34.her as an outsider. No, you played lovely, darling. The scoring was

:34:35. > :34:40.great. Finishing a bit Mickey Mouse in the first set. I have to work on

:34:41. > :34:44.that. If you practice on that and scorer like you're scoring you will

:34:45. > :34:49.take some stopping. With that being such a good performance do you feel

:34:50. > :34:54.there is more to come? Absolutely, if I can get my finishing in check I

:34:55. > :34:59.am one to watch. This is the first time in a long time that I am here

:35:00. > :35:08.to prove I can actually do this. Let's show you your final darts, you

:35:09. > :35:16.did get it going in the end. I love Rachel Brooks, I was watching her

:35:17. > :35:23.yesterday, she looked, it felt like you had control, that must have felt

:35:24. > :35:27.good? We share runs at county and on tour so it is hard to play your

:35:28. > :35:37.friends, but we are all friends here. It was hard. We need more

:35:38. > :35:46.enemies! Absolutely! Let's look at the quarterfinal draw. Playing

:35:47. > :35:55.against Srinath, it feels like old school against, Trina, who has won

:35:56. > :36:07.so many titles. It's hard to call. But Lisa has to deal confident.

:36:08. > :36:13.Absolutely. She toppled the girl we thought everyone had to be tears she

:36:14. > :36:27.will be full of confidence. -- everyone had to beat so she will be.

:36:28. > :36:36.And Louise, an upset in the last 16, she will be full of confidence. And

:36:37. > :36:43.we will mention it, Deta has won so many titles this year, but on that

:36:44. > :36:48.stage, you will hope the curse strikes again. I just want to keep

:36:49. > :36:53.play like I am, sort out my finishing, and we will put on a good

:36:54. > :36:59.game. Thank you for talking to us, we will move onto the men, next on

:37:00. > :37:04.the stage, Wesley Harms against Jim Williams. We go back to the first

:37:05. > :37:10.darts on Saturday. I didn't know how to take it, I was nervous. The last

:37:11. > :37:13.time I played there I got whipped so I'd and want that to happen again. I

:37:14. > :37:17.was pleased with how I played because I did not want to take in

:37:18. > :37:25.the crowd too much. I was happy with that. But at the same time a few

:37:26. > :37:28.times I needed a good shot, was scoring 60, hitting a few wires, a

:37:29. > :37:32.lot of bounce outs which didn't help which add to my nerves but I got

:37:33. > :37:36.there in the end. Got double when it mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:37. > :37:39.double ten, matched dart for mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:40. > :37:47.Williams. What are we to do it. -- mattered. Another treble 20, for

:37:48. > :37:53.what a way to do it. Maybe mentally I have had more

:37:54. > :37:56.what a way to do it. Maybe mentally practised more at home, you can't

:37:57. > :38:00.practice here, not properly so I think going away has helped me. I

:38:01. > :38:02.can be fully and are very average but when it is going well it does go

:38:03. > :38:14.I was watching it from well.

:38:15. > :38:16.I was watching it from probably five years old.

:38:17. > :38:18.I was watching it from really keen on it

:38:19. > :38:23.I was watching it from day he would be on it and win get.

:38:24. > :38:26.For me to do it is brilliant. I never would have expected it but

:38:27. > :38:29.For me to do it is brilliant. I you are in it and I have

:38:30. > :38:30.For me to do it is brilliant. I big tournaments, winning the World

:38:31. > :38:40.Cup big tournaments, winning the World

:38:41. > :38:44.he in his 30s, he looks about 19. This is Wesley Harms who has reached

:38:45. > :38:51.back-to-back semifinals the first two years he was here in 2012 and

:38:52. > :38:55.2013. Last night went to five sets, playing last night, playing again

:38:56. > :39:01.this afternoon, the last match on, and this is not triathlon so we

:39:02. > :39:02.should be all right? I would rather do that. Winning last night and

:39:03. > :39:06.playing this afternoon, you don't do that. Winning last night and

:39:07. > :39:10.have to build yourself up for the do that. Winning last night and

:39:11. > :39:18.game again. Let's, practising together, that is interesting, don't

:39:19. > :39:26.often see that. Some people do. You just want to frighten your opponent.

:39:27. > :39:32.Just go for double 3 and he thinks you are no good! Sparky

:39:33. > :39:40.Just go for double 3 and he thinks in a blaze of glory, beaten on both

:39:41. > :39:45.occasions by Tony O'Shea. He was very studious back then, very quiet,

:39:46. > :39:57.would ask us for DVDs of the matches. Maybe got a bit, became

:39:58. > :40:00.more sociable. This is the old Wesley, he spends most of his time

:40:01. > :40:06.with his partner, and he is physically fitter as well I notice.

:40:07. > :40:13.He seems to have his focus back. He loves his darts. He talks about it.

:40:14. > :40:19.You cannot have a conversation with them that is not about darts. But he

:40:20. > :40:25.gets down. When he loses our game or a set he bit his head down and socks

:40:26. > :40:31.a bit. Jim, I don't know, I've not seen him in that position. But if

:40:32. > :40:34.Jim gets in front and lets the other guy puts his head down then you lose

:40:35. > :40:40.because he thinks he should win every game. In this format you

:40:41. > :40:45.cannot win quickly. You have to play good darts. Some guys try to push

:40:46. > :40:50.the game so they get it over with. But best of seven, nice and easy,

:40:51. > :40:58.throw as you practice, the panic. Don't look at the other guy. Like

:40:59. > :41:08.that. Let's get back down to someone who is always calm and composed.

:41:09. > :41:13.Ladies and gentlemen this is the 2016 BDO World Championships and we

:41:14. > :41:22.are here at the home of world darts, the Lakeside! We now introduced the

:41:23. > :41:28.reigning Antwerp open and Turkish open champion. From Wales, the

:41:29. > :41:34.reigning World Cup singles champion, Jim Williams!

:41:35. > :42:32.we now introduced, from the Netherlands, a twice Lakeside World

:42:33. > :42:38.Championship semifinalist and the former World Cup singles champion,

:42:39. > :42:39.the reigning German Masters and England open champion, Sparky,

:42:40. > :43:29.Wesley Harms! good to have two guitar -based walk

:43:30. > :43:39.on chins. We'll Jim Williams become the baby faced assassin? It seems

:43:40. > :43:43.nobody knows, let's find out. COMMENTATOR: If you've been with us

:43:44. > :43:48.all the way since the opening match on Saturday afternoon and are having

:43:49. > :43:55.a look at that man on the stage, the man in the raid top, the man from

:43:56. > :44:00.Wales, the man seeded 12, and wondering who is that, have we seen

:44:01. > :44:03.him before? You could be forgiven for thinking that because you last

:44:04. > :44:09.saw him at 1pm on Saturday afternoon. That is when Jim Williams

:44:10. > :44:16.last played and beat Tony O'Shea in the first round. Here he is again,

:44:17. > :44:22.many hours and days later, playing his second round match. If you have

:44:23. > :44:27.been with us since Saturday afternoon and were with us last

:44:28. > :44:31.night, you will recognise the other bloke on stage, the tall, thin

:44:32. > :44:32.Dutchmen Wesley Harms. Twice a semifinalist of course but he only

:44:33. > :44:54.played last night. Stand-by for a very match. Two young

:44:55. > :45:08.players really at the helm. This is anyone's match, should be very even.

:45:09. > :45:16.I was speaking to Wesley a few moments ago backstage and he says he

:45:17. > :45:22.does everything the same every day he is here. Gets up at the same

:45:23. > :45:26.time, brushes his teeth at the same time, get stressed that the same

:45:27. > :45:32.time, breakfast at the same time. The only things he does different on

:45:33. > :45:37.a match day is he does not go swimming because it makes his hands

:45:38. > :45:41.feel slippery. He thinks it affects his darts. It has helped him anyway

:45:42. > :45:52.and so far... Wesley Harms, nicknamed Sparky. The

:45:53. > :46:22.number five seed. Had a great victory over England's

:46:23. > :46:34.Tony O'Shea. A young lad. Plays his county darts.

:46:35. > :46:59.This would be a fine way to start. Unlucky! A better finish here for

:47:00. > :47:07.Williams. Could go for bullseye. Tops.

:47:08. > :47:19.They have both missed tops of low with one dart. There is the double

:47:20. > :47:29.10 which secures the first leg for Wesley Harms. First came here as the

:47:30. > :47:38.13th seed in 2012. Reached the semifinals. Almost the first maximum

:47:39. > :47:42.of the match from Jim Williams. Wesley Harms lost that semifinal 6-5

:47:43. > :47:48.to Tony O'Shea who he beat on Saturday. Next year he came back and

:47:49. > :47:55.met Guess who? And lost that 6-4, Tony O'Shea. But Wesley has

:47:56. > :48:01.disappointed the last couple of times he's been here. Tony Eccles

:48:02. > :48:10.beat him in 2014 and he was a first-round loser as the eighth seed

:48:11. > :48:16.last year. Jim Williams, tongue with his first six darts.

:48:17. > :48:33.Young and old, they are out today. Oh yes! Wants the finish.

:48:34. > :48:45.Despite that 177, he could not believe a finish. Wesley Harms. That

:48:46. > :49:00.one was going for the 25 and CHEERING AND BOOING

:49:01. > :49:25.treble 18. One more dart at double top. Yes.

:49:26. > :49:34.Wesley at the helm at the moment, the first two legs. Straight into

:49:35. > :49:51.the treble 19. Not once but twice. Talk about Wesley Harms Lakeside

:49:52. > :49:58.pedigree, this is only a second visit here for Jim Williams. Did not

:49:59. > :50:06.win set last year in the first round. Again seeded, 16. He will

:50:07. > :50:10.feel an awful lot better about life. Having won the opening match of the

:50:11. > :50:12.championship on Saturday afternoon. And he had a few days to bask in his

:50:13. > :50:50.glory. Leaves the finish. Almost took it

:50:51. > :50:57.out in the first leg of the match. If he can do it now he will win the

:50:58. > :51:08.first set remember first 24-mac sets in the second round. Cannot know

:51:09. > :51:10.finish finish but will be back. Still on 270, Williams. Needs to get

:51:11. > :51:17.his arm in focus. He was saying he Still on 270, Williams. Needs to get

:51:18. > :51:24.can be very, very good or very, very average. Sometimes in the same

:51:25. > :51:32.match. Treble 19 would have left a double 19 but doesn't matter. Again,

:51:33. > :51:44.Wesley will be back. He will be back for double 8. That is better. But

:51:45. > :51:50.this is set point. And it goes. In the blink of an eye Wesley Harms

:51:51. > :51:55.takes the first set. He's got a look about him.

:51:56. > :52:03.takes the first set. He's got a look he used to be an electrician. If

:52:04. > :52:04.you'll forgive the pun he really has let up Lakeside on occasion. I like

:52:05. > :52:23.it. Don't switch off. Like Bobby was saying, if things

:52:24. > :52:31.start to go against him, he can let his head drop. He can be on a short

:52:32. > :52:43.fuse sometimes! CHUCKLES But he's a good frontrunner. Wesley.

:52:44. > :52:56.Sometimes when things go close that is when you can get at him. The

:52:57. > :53:03.great Welshman Leighton Rees won the first world title in 1978. An

:53:04. > :53:10.ambassador for the sport. This young man could carry it on. Three Welsh

:53:11. > :53:16.men in all have won the championship. Leighton Rees, Richie

:53:17. > :53:27.Burnett in 1995 and Mark Webster in 2008. So Jim would become the

:53:28. > :53:31.fourth. But first things first, let win this set. Don't want to let

:53:32. > :53:32.Wesley Harms get clear daylight between you and him on the

:53:33. > :53:50.scoreboard. Treble 17 the shot. 142 for Jim

:53:51. > :53:59.Williams. Could do with this to hold his throw but he won't take it out

:54:00. > :54:14.this time. 72 for a fourth leg in a row. He's done this before. OK, Jim,

:54:15. > :54:25.take it away. 20, double 16. Double 8. Got to get it and he has. Well

:54:26. > :54:34.done. He is on the board. Crucially holding his throw and winning his

:54:35. > :54:40.first leg of the match. Looks very determined. It has lightened up

:54:41. > :55:05.anyway, that double. Here we go, yes! The first maximum

:55:06. > :55:28.of the match. They are still cheering it. They are

:55:29. > :55:40.enjoying it and so they should. Two youngsters. This is to break the

:55:41. > :55:45.throw. No, not this time. What a good last dart. Treble 14. Treble

:55:46. > :56:08.13... Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. And that chance now to level the

:56:09. > :56:29.match. Some noise from the audience. He is back, you can tell from his

:56:30. > :56:38.body language, can't you, Jim Williams. Hitting the double 8 in

:56:39. > :56:45.the first leg of this set did him the power of good.

:56:46. > :57:18.Good marker. Seems to be rushing. Have you noticed? You can get quick.

:57:19. > :57:32.Just trying to chase a bit of rhythm. Maybe the nerves from the

:57:33. > :57:44.youngster, Jim Williams. We'll be on an outshot Abdullah swung. -- after

:57:45. > :57:45.this one. Did not see him after his match, he had himself away in the

:57:46. > :57:51.private players room. This to break back. His finishing

:57:52. > :58:32.has been excellent. Saves this set. Seeming to fall forward, not

:58:33. > :58:41.balanced there. Look at this, more direct. Now look at this. The back

:58:42. > :59:27.leg comes up, sometimes shakes him off-balance.

:59:28. > :59:42.The OK... He won't be finishing now. Chance for Jim Williams.

:59:43. > :00:05.I thought that was in. To save the set. Yes, another terrific finish.

:00:06. > :00:13.Jim the Turkish and Antwerp open champion. Number 12 seed this year.

:00:14. > :00:21.Look at those checkouts, five out of eight for Wesley Harms. Yes, very

:00:22. > :00:29.consistent on the finishing. Right back he can be and he is today. He

:00:30. > :00:37.has been around a long time. He's only been punished once for a Mr

:00:38. > :00:43.double. -- missed. Into a deciding leg. So far it's a good set for Jim

:00:44. > :01:04.Williams. And no response, as yet, from Wesley

:01:05. > :01:14.Harms. 139 ahead plus these. What a good leg here. It is a long time

:01:15. > :01:19.since I've seen that, four hundreds on the trot. Doesn't need it this

:01:20. > :01:26.visit. He feels the pain but no out shot.

:01:27. > :02:03.For Wesley Harms. Early on it looked like Wesley Harms

:02:04. > :02:08.would run away with this. But well played, Jim Williams, he hung in

:02:09. > :02:17.there in the second set and look at this.

:02:18. > :02:18.there in the second set and look at Wesley with the ton, Jim with the

:02:19. > :02:52.140. He went for double 16 tops,

:02:53. > :03:20.furiously. -- He has left the door open but he

:03:21. > :04:11.needed the treble. Double 8 to steal this one. His dad,

:04:12. > :04:16.Dave, loves that. And that was Natalie applauding on the

:04:17. > :04:22.Dave, loves that. And that was they loved that. And he has got the

:04:23. > :04:26.advantage. And that is a good advantage.

:04:27. > :04:44.Wesley had his chances. But Jim kept his cool, back again

:04:45. > :04:56.He is the sort of player, Jim Williams, when he gets on a roll, he

:04:57. > :05:00.can just run away with matches. And you can bet your bottom dollar the

:05:01. > :05:04.adrenaline is coursing through his veins right now. He absolutely

:05:05. > :05:24.nicked that leg. Grand theft oche. Nothing in the scoring. It is the

:05:25. > :05:34.finishing that is counting. Not much in it either way. One set piece.

:05:35. > :05:41.Williams leading this one by that extraordinary leg. Yes, treble 19.

:05:42. > :06:04.Double 12. Oh! Hit the wire! It is all happening. Double 6. He

:06:05. > :06:13.wants to make sure he wins it now. No. Headaches for his family. Double

:06:14. > :06:33.top. This is no fun. Double 1. They call

:06:34. > :06:41.it the madhouse. No. Double 10. It's all happening. He won't finish. Back

:06:42. > :07:12.comes Williams. He has put the pressure on Harms. My

:07:13. > :07:19.goodness me. He missed seven doubles, Jim Williams, before

:07:20. > :07:24.hitting that double 1. Wesley Harms must be kicking himself but right

:07:25. > :07:39.now it is Williams with all the momentum. Really having a go. He

:07:40. > :07:44.might go for trouble 18. Yes. -- treble 18. It is not happening for

:07:45. > :07:59.Wesley. There is a short, three-minute or

:08:00. > :08:06.so, break after this set. Not a very nice throw there but he still has

:08:07. > :08:18.the advantage. Even though he has hit 57 and 27 with his last two

:08:19. > :08:23.throws. The marker is good. Even if he doesn't take this leg, he will be

:08:24. > :08:34.throwing first in the next to wrap up the set against the darts. It is

:08:35. > :08:42.not happening for Wesley. And 178 is not a finish.

:08:43. > :09:01.This would be the highest of the championship. Would have been. But

:09:02. > :09:09.he can take a big chunk out of it. He went for the bull. Can't finish.

:09:10. > :09:25.This is for the set. Double 8. Double 4. Oh! Wesley is still in it.

:09:26. > :09:38.Tops for Wesley Harms and he needs it. He is not hitting his doubles

:09:39. > :09:45.like he was in the first set. That is a huge sigh of relief. What a

:09:46. > :09:51.great leg of the arts but not for Jim Williams. -- leg of darts. It is

:09:52. > :10:03.absorbing for the crowd. Jim Williams had two macro darts for

:10:04. > :10:22.the set in the last leg. But this time round he has the darts.

:10:23. > :10:44.Needs to get over the top, well done. Wesley Harms needs to do more

:10:45. > :10:52.than that. Can't make his mind up. Thinking,

:10:53. > :11:48.what shall I do? He did well. It's a finish. 82 for Jim Williams.

:11:49. > :11:58.What can he do? Double 16. For the set, yes! Jim Williams takes charge

:11:59. > :12:01.of this second round match at Lakeside, coming from one set down

:12:02. > :12:06.and now leading 2-1. STUDIO: Cagey first couple of sets

:12:07. > :12:27.as we take a short break. What a man to fill any break, Mr

:12:28. > :12:32.Bobby George. We said earlier that when he played as he was earlier,

:12:33. > :12:37.Lorraine Winstanley showed the health of women starts, so by the

:12:38. > :12:41.same token of honesty, not a huge amount to get excited by, I have

:12:42. > :12:48.never seen Wesley score so badly. He doesn't seem settled. The pace of

:12:49. > :12:54.the game is the same. It's like a train going up the hill. The scoring

:12:55. > :12:58.is almost identical. The finishing was a bit scruffy

:12:59. > :13:02.and got better but not an exciting game. There is no explosion in it.

:13:03. > :13:09.Absolutely, it's like a metronome game. There is no explosion in it.

:13:10. > :13:18.the rhythm and grabbing it by the scruff of the neck. Nothing really

:13:19. > :13:24.exciting. It is boring in a way. But by that token, Jim deserves his lead

:13:25. > :13:31.after going behind. There were two finishes in particular, the start of

:13:32. > :13:38.the third set, he had to get it done, not the biggest out shot but

:13:39. > :13:45.doing it in two darts. That was the little edge that put him in the

:13:46. > :13:52.lead. Wesley can get a bit sulky if he goes behind. He needs to start

:13:53. > :13:56.easing up a bit. He has to play as he did when he started because he

:13:57. > :14:04.played OK. But he does get like that. You can get at him if you get

:14:05. > :14:09.in front of him. Jim should do that, he definitely has the demeanour of

:14:10. > :14:17.someone who is used to playing here. He wants to get on with the game. He

:14:18. > :14:18.is up and down the oche. He is that fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:19. > :14:31.quick. I would slow fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:32. > :14:34.is what they need, but it fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:35. > :14:36.to be close. Wesley doesn't have to fast, he wants to get on with it

:14:37. > :14:41.do a huge amount to get back in it. Every time there is a break, it can

:14:42. > :14:47.help you if you are not playing so well. Grab a hold of yourself? They

:14:48. > :14:50.do, they have a break and they think about what they are doing, they come

:14:51. > :14:56.out and play better so let's hope they both play better

:14:57. > :14:59.out and play better so let's hope competitive game. If you are just

:15:00. > :15:05.joining us, thank you for doing so. Let's have a look at the last 16

:15:06. > :15:11.draw for the men's championship. Scott Waites against Geert De Vos is

:15:12. > :15:17.one to look forward to. Tomorrow afternoon we have Lisa Ashton

:15:18. > :15:23.against Trina Gulliver and Scott Mitchell against Mark McGeeney. Not

:15:24. > :15:28.many people will know much about Mark but you can fancy he can take

:15:29. > :15:35.Scott closer than most people think. I think he can. He is steady but I

:15:36. > :15:38.think he could do it. That is tomorrow, let's concentrate on this

:15:39. > :15:40.afternoon and get back to the stage, both players are coming back out,

:15:41. > :15:48.Jim Williams 2-1 up. both players are coming back out,

:15:49. > :15:56.COMMENTATOR: You just never both players are coming back out,

:15:57. > :16:06.you? That break could change everything. We have seen it happen

:16:07. > :16:12.before. It is the first to four sets who will win through to the

:16:13. > :16:20.quarterfinals. Will Jim Williams Hammer home his hard-fought

:16:21. > :16:28.advantage? He in Leeds 2-1. -- he is leading 2-1.

:16:29. > :16:45.Straight to the oche, off we go. 2-1 Jim Williams.

:16:46. > :16:56.Unlike Wesley Harms, Jim struggled when he first played on that stage

:16:57. > :17:03.12 months ago. He only won one leg. He did not hit a 180. He was kind of

:17:04. > :17:12.cross with himself when he came off stage. It was important for him,

:17:13. > :17:18.first up on Saturday afternoon, to make a good account of himself

:17:19. > :17:23.against Tony O'Shea. He has done that, and again, in this match, he

:17:24. > :17:32.has found a way back into the match. Having lost the first set badly. He

:17:33. > :17:46.is enjoying himself now. Good marker for another. He is on a finish, 101.

:17:47. > :17:55.Remember that he is winning 2-1 at the moment. He took out 140 to beat

:17:56. > :18:09.Tony O'Shea and 82 in the last leg. But not this time are no big one.

:18:10. > :18:21.OK, Wesley. Double 8. Yes! What a brilliant outshot under pressure. It

:18:22. > :18:28.has got that sort of feel about it. It could be close, this one. I am

:18:29. > :18:43.getting excited. It's brilliant, I like it. He will come down. You are

:18:44. > :18:47.right, sometimes when perhaps the standard of scoring and finishing is

:18:48. > :18:54.not the highest, if it is a decent scrap, it's really entertaining in

:18:55. > :19:04.its own right. Sometimes more exciting. It's a bit like Welshman

:19:05. > :19:33.Alun Evans when he played. Excitement? He did everything.

:19:34. > :19:43.It was a great Welshman, Leighton Rees, who won the first world title.

:19:44. > :20:07.Won't finish now. Still a lot to do for Jim Williams to win this leg.

:20:08. > :20:21.Yes! This is great finishing from Wesley Harms. We saw it in the first

:20:22. > :20:32.set. He likes the bull. He lost it for a while but he seems to have

:20:33. > :20:37.rediscovered, Sparky has got his spark back. It looks like we going

:20:38. > :20:44.all the way, 2-0 in this set to Wesley Harms.

:20:45. > :21:28.He is in it again, this is a good leg. Three tonnes on the trot, 104

:21:29. > :21:50.left. Yes. 12, double 16. Just on the

:21:51. > :22:04.inside. Chance for Wesley. This is for the set.

:22:05. > :22:19.Double 8. Come on, one to go. Yes! Of the barrel but who cares? -- off

:22:20. > :22:36.the barrel. Wesley likes to get on with it.

:22:37. > :22:41.Having taken out 96 and 81 in the first two legs of the set, we were

:22:42. > :22:44.slightly surprised Wesley failed to take out the much more

:22:45. > :22:51.straightforward 80, especially having hit treble 20 with his first

:22:52. > :22:54.dart. But he has the darts, he is throwing first and this is to level

:22:55. > :23:15.the match if he wins this leg come at 2-2.

:23:16. > :23:35.58 and 60. He is being let off a little bit here. He needs an awful

:23:36. > :23:44.lot better than that because he must break the throw to stay alive in

:23:45. > :23:57.this set. That's better. Treble 20, treble 18, double 16 would do.

:23:58. > :24:08.Double 16. This would hurt Wesley. Wesley's opportunity now. 16 leaves

:24:09. > :24:39.double 16. And it's there. All square in sets,

:24:40. > :24:47.2-2, what a match. Here we go. 2-2 in a race to four.

:24:48. > :24:54.And there is an early opportunity for Jim Williams. It sure is but

:24:55. > :25:00.that has blocked it. I would have gone for 19s. The second dart was

:25:01. > :25:09.really blocked out. But gone for 19s. The second dart was

:25:10. > :25:13.there! How are your darts? Not too bad. A bit rusty! We should have a

:25:14. > :25:57.game. I'd go for OK. Trailing by 56 points before the

:25:58. > :26:02.throw. Williams with 121 with a ton. Still going, brilliant marker. 81

:26:03. > :26:34.left. 12 leaves the bull. 25 only. He has

:26:35. > :26:36.been taking these out. Double top is not really working for him and nor

:26:37. > :27:01.is double 10 on this occasion. You have got to take those out, you

:27:02. > :27:06.have to take those opportunities. He has only hit it twice out of ten

:27:07. > :27:17.attempts now. Five comes to his rescue.

:27:18. > :27:30.Jim had so many opportunities. He only has himself to blame. A mild

:27:31. > :27:36.amusing line is reaching us here in the commentary box courtesy of our

:27:37. > :27:38.cameraman on camera number two. He has been here every year since the

:27:39. > :27:59.start, I think. It's a bit involved, this, but

:28:00. > :28:04.Wesley Harms is called Sparky because he used to be an

:28:05. > :28:14.electricity. And the line is, for all of you physics graduates, and

:28:15. > :28:22.lovers of puns I'm being told... What is the potential difference

:28:23. > :28:26.between these two? Are you asking me? I'm just passing it on to be

:28:27. > :28:43.honest! I still don't get it. OK. Had to get it, good start. Double

:28:44. > :29:04.16. No outshot. Double 16 for Williams

:29:05. > :29:06.when he comes back to the oche. He has only hit one of his last ten

:29:07. > :29:20.doubles. It isn't happening for the Welshman.

:29:21. > :29:27.This is really going to hurt. This would be from nowhere. Double 16.

:29:28. > :29:37.You kind of expected him to hit that. He only needed one!

:29:38. > :30:02.I really get enjoyment when I get a match like this. It is absolutely

:30:03. > :30:06.wonderful. Sometimes, with every missed the ball, even the purists

:30:07. > :30:10.would be saying he should not be missing doubles like that, but for

:30:11. > :30:16.us watching, the tension goes high and the excitement goes higher. I am

:30:17. > :30:25.out of my seat on many occasions in this match. I know you are. I am

:30:26. > :30:32.sitting next to you. I am sorry! Just get back down on your own seat,

:30:33. > :30:37.next time! OK two tonnes for Wesley Harms. Lots to do, the gym. -- for

:30:38. > :30:51.Jim Williams. It is still anyone's match. Good

:30:52. > :31:17.marker for a treble, here. Now, in the arena, it says that

:31:18. > :31:27.Wesley Harms needs 210 points. We think that the Miss -- the referee

:31:28. > :31:31.Miss called the 33 as a 22. Let's have a listen. Yes, he has called

:31:32. > :31:49.79. Wesley Harms wins the leg. Need

:31:50. > :32:04.sticky disadvantage. He went for what he was told to go for. And he

:32:05. > :32:13.had it. 2-1, the final set. Williams with a bit of pressure. Oh, yes,

:32:14. > :32:22.this is going to out, and it does, it is the maximum. Everybody on

:32:23. > :32:29.their feet. It is his first of the match. His second ever on the

:32:30. > :32:39.Lakeside stage and the second of this match. He has to win the leg,

:32:40. > :32:45.though. 165, not shot. That is why he went for the 25 but did not quite

:32:46. > :32:51.go low enough and hit the big 20, the skinny bit of the big 20. He

:32:52. > :32:58.will be first to a finish, Jim Williams, in a leg that he must win.

:32:59. > :33:12.Now out shot on 165? These only hitting one, at the

:33:13. > :33:25.moment, in every four darts at a double. That is an awful lot better.

:33:26. > :33:37.Into a deciding leg, then, of this fifth set. Remember it is the first

:33:38. > :33:46.of four. Look at them, so excited. Out of their seats all the time.

:33:47. > :33:51.There it is. The finale. What a match. You cannot get much better

:33:52. > :33:58.than this. It is Williams for the Sun, 140, 261

:33:59. > :34:33.remaining. -- for the time. That is another. What a leg.

:34:34. > :34:40.Natalie, his wife, enjoyed that, but boy, does she still look nervous.

:34:41. > :34:54.Because she knows that the job is not yet complete. Treble 17 and pool

:34:55. > :34:55.would do it. -- bull. This is for the set, and Wesley Harms cannot

:34:56. > :35:20.finish in three darts. 16, double 16. Yes! Listen to the

:35:21. > :35:35.cheers, look at them standing! It is magic. From 2-1 down in this set,

:35:36. > :35:43.having hit only one of his previous 13 darts at a double, Jim Williams

:35:44. > :35:51.has hit two in a row and he is now one step away from a place in the

:35:52. > :36:01.quarterfinals -- one set away. But he has to do it. It is an awkward

:36:02. > :36:15.first dart. And with Jim hitting 140... We have started here.

:36:16. > :36:32.Jim Williams recently has been winning the ones that matter. Not

:36:33. > :36:48.too bad, there, boss. 140, tonne, lovely pitch there. Even better. 62,

:36:49. > :37:18.Jim Williams, treble 10, double 16. 15, the double 16. Three in a row,

:37:19. > :37:38.three doubles in a row from Jim Williams. Pandemonium! Back comes

:37:39. > :37:49.Wesley. 31 years of age, from, the 12th seed. He is feeling now, isn't

:37:50. > :37:54.he? He has got to keep calm, if he can. 100, 140 from Wesley, fighting

:37:55. > :38:23.back. He is a good frontrunner, Jim

:38:24. > :38:30.Williams. He showed that against Tony O'Shea. He has showed it all

:38:31. > :38:39.year, as the 12th seed coming in here. Finished? Not now. Williams on

:38:40. > :38:50.131, which he will be coming back for. OK.

:38:51. > :39:03.How much pressure on the 96? And on this double 18 and this double 9?

:39:04. > :39:26.Occasionally, his but not today. He's showed an awful

:39:27. > :39:31.lot of bottle to find that double. And he's still in this. You would

:39:32. > :39:46.not be surprised if Wesley Harms oneness. 3-2 in sets, 1-1 in legs,

:39:47. > :39:52.still anyone's, I tell you. Just one big mistake and

:39:53. > :39:57.still anyone's, I tell you. Just one curtains. And that would have been

:39:58. > :40:01.the big mistake, had he missed that double 9, you fancy. Certainly do.

:40:02. > :40:09.The way that Williams was finding his doubles, he was really feeling

:40:10. > :40:15.it. Throwing first, you thought he would just finish it off. But, all

:40:16. > :40:27.of a sudden, it is anyone's again. That is why we love darts, Tony.

:40:28. > :40:35.It is a finish for Jim Williams. 160.

:40:36. > :40:46.The scoring is not brilliant, as you can see from those averages, but the

:40:47. > :40:55.excitement is out there. Here we go. Max 50, 82.

:40:56. > :41:11.Williams with 60. Single 20, he wants double tops. Oh! He pulled it

:41:12. > :41:22.away to the left. This is for a break-up row. -- break of throw.

:41:23. > :41:34.And all of the momentum now shifts towards the Netherlands.

:41:35. > :41:50.One leg for Wesley Harms. He has the advantage now. Jim coming back. All

:41:51. > :41:55.square in this leg. He is back in again, he means business. Far more

:41:56. > :42:16.experience than Jim Williams. Yes, 140. Look at this. Pressure on

:42:17. > :42:21.the pair of them. 100, four Wesley, 100, one wooden 40 four Jim

:42:22. > :42:25.Williams. Let's hope the pressure, from here on in, is only going to

:42:26. > :42:32.increase, so let's hope it brings out the best in both these players.

:42:33. > :42:45.Because their best, let me tell you, it's pretty darned good. They both

:42:46. > :42:56.want it. There it is. Yes, that is the first

:42:57. > :43:18.one. To level up this leg. There is the

:43:19. > :43:27.big ten. Is this the double 16? You just knew it!

:43:28. > :43:32.APPLAUSE Look at it, everyone standing!

:43:33. > :43:40.And suddenly everything changes once again, because Jim Williams has the

:43:41. > :43:49.darts. And he is throwing for the match. And what a match. I'm sure

:43:50. > :44:02.that everybody's loving this, falling out of their seats.

:44:03. > :44:13.Block the bed. And that is the result. Would have been better going

:44:14. > :44:24.down for 19. You have got to think your way out of this. Here we go.

:44:25. > :44:31.Wesley Harms isn't finished. If you're going to win it, Jim, you're

:44:32. > :44:36.going to have to win it here. Taking charge. He is much more experienced,

:44:37. > :44:48.obviously, than Jim Williams. But, with pressure like this, it doesn't

:44:49. > :44:58.matter. He has a 100, 136. And now a 134. 131, for the match.

:44:59. > :45:12.This is to level the match at 3-3 sets. He will be back, Jim, on his

:45:13. > :45:15.own throat, well back on T13, with Wesley sitting pretty on 32. -- his

:45:16. > :45:31.own throw. Resigned applause from Jim's dad,

:45:32. > :45:38.Dave, but you didn't really doubt that this match was going to into a

:45:39. > :45:49.deciding set, did you? It had that look about it. From about midway

:45:50. > :45:54.through the second set. Yes, it is all down to these two now. What a

:45:55. > :46:03.match, and what excitement they have brought.

:46:04. > :46:12.Wesley, as I said, more experienced. He has been there before. But Jim,

:46:13. > :46:13.putting up a great formance and still with a chance. Don't worry

:46:14. > :46:29.about that. -- a great performance. And back in the red bit, Wesley

:46:30. > :46:39.Harms. He would love to Hammer home the advantage of winning the sixth

:46:40. > :46:40.set. Take out the 127 and put early pressure on the Williams throw. That

:46:41. > :47:09.is the plan. Nothing Jim can do about this. Has

:47:10. > :47:15.to get into the trebles and hope. 120 is OK, Shanghai on the 20s. If

:47:16. > :47:29.Wesley misses this dart at 77, but he doesn't. -- at double 7. Placing

:47:30. > :47:35.huge pressure on Jim Williams. He has not been in a scrap before, on

:47:36. > :47:42.the leg side stage. We don't know how we is going to react to it. He

:47:43. > :47:49.strolled on his debut in 2014 -- he struggled. He failed to hit 180. And

:47:50. > :48:00.he has lost the advantage of throwing first in this leg. Wesley

:48:01. > :48:06.Harms, really putting them together. He was a seed, two years ago, as

:48:07. > :48:12.well. He came back this year against Tony O'Shea in round one and pretty

:48:13. > :48:22.much had it all his own way. Needs a treble, here. And he finds it. Big

:48:23. > :48:25.dart. Yes, battling away. Back in charge. You cannot keep a Welshman

:48:26. > :48:44.down! He blocked it there, a little. It

:48:45. > :48:55.caught the flight and went into the treble, 126, to finish, for Jim

:48:56. > :49:04.Williams. 19 s and options on them. A treble for the bull's-eye.

:49:05. > :49:09.Williams. 19 s and options on them. deserves a place in the

:49:10. > :49:19.quarterfinals. I think we have had a missed call on

:49:20. > :49:41.the 91. Jim, you require 34. I think we have

:49:42. > :49:49.a problem. No, I think that's right, Tony. It has come of the barrel. It

:49:50. > :50:03.went too far over. This is to move to within one leg of

:50:04. > :50:15.the quarterfinals. Two darts at double 10 for Wesley Harms. Natalie

:50:16. > :50:23.looks nerveless, so too double 10 for Wesley Harms. Natalie

:50:24. > :50:29.Yolande. Wesley Harms has the darts. The quarterfinals or in his hands.

:50:30. > :50:38.The atmosphere is brilliant. But this is where it is going to end. We

:50:39. > :50:46.will see. Opportunity for Jim Williams all stop he must take it.

:50:47. > :50:58.We don't want it to end. Your absolutely right. The last match of

:50:59. > :51:02.the afternoon session. On Wednesday afternoon at the Lakeside. Nobody

:51:03. > :51:15.wants to end. Perhaps she does! Natalie. She will hear from the

:51:16. > :51:30.Cheers. It's there, and another. And another.

:51:31. > :51:42.Only 60 from Jim Williams. Wesley, to turn the screw, here. That 60 was

:51:43. > :51:50.where they shut the roof. It is a finish. 135.

:51:51. > :52:05.He is not going to leave a finish. He is not going to be close. Wesley

:52:06. > :52:19.for the match from 135. There is Yolande. Are you starting to

:52:20. > :52:28.believe, Yolande? She should do. 66. Double 10, -- treble 10, double 18.

:52:29. > :52:31.This one, now, for the match. On the wire! It is still going on. Another

:52:32. > :52:54.shot for Jim Williams. This is a big one, double 4, for the

:52:55. > :53:10.quarterfinals. Oh, no! He can't check out. 85 left. Go for it your

:53:11. > :53:16.own way. Cannot finish. But Wesley can.

:53:17. > :53:36.Double 2. 11. -- double 1. Yes! It ends with Wesley Harms through to

:53:37. > :53:46.the quarterfinals. It was a right old battle. It certainly was. Magic,

:53:47. > :53:52.that is what I call it. Terrific match ladies and gentlemen, let's

:53:53. > :53:53.hear it for both players, Jim Williams, and through to the

:53:54. > :54:22.quarterfinals, Sparky, Wesley Harms! Wesley managing to get out of harms

:54:23. > :54:28.way but only just against Jim Williams. But it was the double that

:54:29. > :54:43.counted and a smile on the face of his girlfriend, Yolande, when he

:54:44. > :54:47.landed that double 1. Bobby George, to be fair to Sparky, he improved

:54:48. > :54:54.when he can back after the break enough to get the job done. The last

:54:55. > :54:59.set was more exciting. Jim missed a few double 16 s. Then he got in

:55:00. > :55:05.front and he could not catch him in the end. That is what the 180 at the

:55:06. > :55:13.end did. But he deserved it. It was an exciting game at the end. It was

:55:14. > :55:19.was he going to win, was Wesley going to win, was Jim going to win?

:55:20. > :55:25.Were is that Wesley that we know is their? We have seen it so many times

:55:26. > :55:29.on the Lakeside state. He probably finishes in the 90 on average

:55:30. > :55:34.overall. He is going to have to produce it to get further in this

:55:35. > :55:39.tournament. 85, 86 average, wasn't very good at all. If he doesn't

:55:40. > :55:44.approve that he will not go any further. You have got to be in the

:55:45. > :55:49.90s at every stage of the game. You can get a little bit lucky, you

:55:50. > :55:54.never know, but normally, 92-96, then you have got some chance of

:55:55. > :55:58.performing well. We can talk about Wesley, who is alongside us now.

:55:59. > :56:02.Talking about the positive points of the performance. You had to battle

:56:03. > :56:07.of their, and you are too-1 down at the break. What do you say to

:56:08. > :56:19.scoring wise, it went all right. Missed a few doubles. At the end, it

:56:20. > :56:22.came in. And I won the game. The checkout percentage was good, at

:56:23. > :56:30.40%. You were hitting some doubles when they really mattered. Yes, I

:56:31. > :56:35.focused myself on hitting that one dart at the double if I need to. And

:56:36. > :56:41.I need a little bit of pressure, I guess. I wonder, is that it? Have we

:56:42. > :56:47.seen the best of Sparky up there, when you are playing against someone

:56:48. > :56:51.who is hanging in 180 and 140, but you have got that in you, you're

:56:52. > :57:00.like a tiger that way, you will rise and we will see the real Sparky. To

:57:01. > :57:04.be fair, Bobby sees me and as soon as someone hits the Troubles and

:57:05. > :57:11.doubles I can hit it as well. I just go with the player. When I need to

:57:12. > :57:18.level up or reach up for something, I can do that. It was interesting,

:57:19. > :57:24.going back to when we first met you, to come back looking for DVDs from

:57:25. > :57:28.every game and studying them. Have you still got that fire when the and

:57:29. > :57:35.easy as to study your opponents or has your approach changed? I still

:57:36. > :57:41.need the DVD from this game and the approach is still the same. What are

:57:42. > :57:47.they charging you, is it ?1 99 for the DVD? I think that Bobby will pay

:57:48. > :57:57.for it anyway. Thank you very much! I study them so that I know what my

:57:58. > :58:01.opponent can do. Jim Williams has won tournaments previously. And I

:58:02. > :58:08.thought to myself, I want to defend my title. But it didn't work out. So

:58:09. > :58:15.I wanted to beat him. And luckily, I did. Yolande went through it all

:58:16. > :58:17.with you as well, so we'll let you go back to friends and family.

:58:18. > :58:22.You're through to the quarterfinals here at the Lakeside. Looking into

:58:23. > :58:27.the past history of Lakeside, the name that nobody thought would ever

:58:28. > :58:32.be back here was John Boye Walton. He managed to get through the

:58:33. > :58:39.qualifiers before, in his first round, in his prelim match he had an

:58:40. > :58:42.average of over 90, then he came up against a guy that is popular on the

:58:43. > :58:47.BBDO tour, finally doing it at the Lakeside. Brian Dawson against John

:58:48. > :58:55.Walton, and it went all the way to two sets all. And John Boye has the

:58:56. > :58:58.advantage as we bring you some more darts to fill up the spare time that

:58:59. > :59:11.we have, because Wesley got the job done.

:59:12. > :59:20.Both of them averaging highly in their finishes. But it is more than

:59:21. > :59:31.that. They have taken them out in key situations. Good response to

:59:32. > :59:45.that 140. 180! The eighth of the match. It is high quality. Walton

:59:46. > :59:54.went for the ball. Dawson with the darts. And a healthy advantage. But

:59:55. > :00:04.not supplemented. He has got to win this leg, Dawson, and Walton knows

:00:05. > :00:15.that he can put him under pressure. He will have a chance.

:00:16. > :00:22.156 to go 2-0 up. Can't be done now. Dawson with a terrific opportunity

:00:23. > :00:38.to square up the set. He has gone double 16 so double 12,

:00:39. > :00:43.brilliant! Trust me, he didn't intend to do that but having got

:00:44. > :01:20.double 16, he was flawless in his execution of double 12.

:01:21. > :01:39.Fine last dart. Trading below for below -- blow for blow.

:01:40. > :01:49.Walton will fancy his chances from here. Dawson just creaking a little

:01:50. > :02:00.bit. This is to move with in a leg of the match. He will come back.

:02:01. > :02:09.That's not bad. 64 is a decent leave. Steady ton for Dawson. Now

:02:10. > :02:36.Walton to make it 2-1. Double 16. Now tops! Oh! He

:02:37. > :02:47.the mark. And grimaces as he puts in a big miss. Walton focuses but can

:02:48. > :02:56.he via? -- can he fire. Come on, he says. To get it to 2-1, at which

:02:57. > :03:05.point it would have to be a two leg margin for victory, Dawson has to

:03:06. > :03:25.throw and hold here. Otherwise Walton will win.

:03:26. > :03:33.Walton is a long way back. That is a shame because it was a loose visit

:03:34. > :03:35.from Dawson. That is more like it from John Boy. Dawson still has the

:03:36. > :03:44.advantage. from John Boy. Dawson still has the

:03:45. > :03:54.adjustment. No real damage done, still has the advantage. Ton minimum

:03:55. > :04:00.you fear, at the moment. Tried to force it through the middle.

:04:01. > :04:05.Working right along the oche to create an angle for the treble 20

:04:06. > :04:13.but he misses it. Dawson waiting on a finish.

:04:14. > :04:26.big one. 161. Dawson waiting on a finish.

:04:27. > :04:33.roof if this goes in. He has missed treble 17.

:04:34. > :04:45.What kind of pressure can Walton put on? Not a great deal. Good last

:04:46. > :04:56.dart. Cracking game, it feels like a final, it has that sort of rivalry.

:04:57. > :05:11.Walton, Shanghai for the match. Treble 1 is not the advised route!

:05:12. > :05:14.Dawson will come back with double 16 to square up the match. Now he has

:05:15. > :05:26.got it! Here we go, double 16. Can he get

:05:27. > :05:33.it? Of course he can! We are going the distance. Ladies and gentlemen,

:05:34. > :05:39.the match must now be won by two clear legs. Should we reach 5-5, the

:05:40. > :05:47.11th leg will be sudden death. Good game of darts. Nip and tuck. It

:05:48. > :05:51.deserved to go all the way. Walton started superbly and had the early

:05:52. > :06:01.advantage but what cuts from Dawson to fight back. -- what guts. A lot

:06:02. > :06:07.of tension up there now. They have to win by two clear legs otherwise,

:06:08. > :06:13.if it goes all the way, it is sudden death. Two great mates, won't feel

:06:14. > :06:18.like that at the moment. Don't forget that Walton has had two macro

:06:19. > :06:25.darts for the match. It seems a long time ago. Almost a lifetime ago in

:06:26. > :06:33.the context of the match. You wonder if he is still thinking about it.

:06:34. > :06:41.You hope not, for his sake. No doubt it is lodged somewhere in the psyche

:06:42. > :06:47.and he does not need that. Dawson effectively as the darts. That is an

:06:48. > :06:52.opportunity missed, a big opportunity missed to really turn

:06:53. > :06:58.the screw. He has still nibbled a bit into the Walton throw, certainly

:06:59. > :07:05.if John cannot find a treble. This is tension, nerves. Who can

:07:06. > :07:10.withstand it better? The Walton arm has stiffened. He has got a ton on

:07:11. > :07:18.him now. He will be disappointed after the

:07:19. > :07:29.opening dart. It is the old pub game favourite,

:07:30. > :07:58.Shanghai. He will come back because Walton has

:07:59. > :08:16.had a shocker just when it matters most. It is curious sometimes. There

:08:17. > :08:22.it is! At last he is in front. It could be a decisive strike if he

:08:23. > :08:29.holds his throw, it is Dawson's match. What a batch and now real

:08:30. > :08:43.pressure on John Walton. That was not good. Where is that treble,

:08:44. > :08:49.John? He is only finding it when the pressure is off. Sweating up in the

:08:50. > :09:00.paddock a little bit, just dabbing the brow. This is good from Dawson.

:09:01. > :09:07.Very close to another 180. Brian Dawson can almost taste it now.

:09:08. > :09:13.Maybe we are not done yet. Either way, it is my guess that these two

:09:14. > :09:17.will have a celebratory pint, whatever the result. It has been a

:09:18. > :09:23.terrific contest. Another huge hit from Dawson. I wouldn't be pouring

:09:24. > :09:47.it just yet. Because here is Walton. He was just checking, terrific dart.

:09:48. > :09:54.52 for the match when Dawson comes back.

:09:55. > :10:09.Double 16. A brilliant match, a fabulous finish and Brian Dawson

:10:10. > :10:16.finally downs John Boyle Walton in an absolute cracker. 3-2. John Boy

:10:17. > :10:27.had two macro darts for the match -- John Boy Walton. Dawson goes

:10:28. > :10:30.through. That was so good, it was ridiculous, we couldn't take our

:10:31. > :10:38.eyes off it. What was it like to be in it and win it? To be in it,

:10:39. > :10:44.painful! But to win it, amazing. Absolutely amazing. What can I say?

:10:45. > :10:51.Phenomenal game. I think it was but I can't remember my games, but he

:10:52. > :10:57.doesn't give up. Neither do you. Where do you get that dogged

:10:58. > :11:05.determination to not wilt under the pressure and think come OK, he's got

:11:06. > :11:10.me? Somehow you got back into it? He is a great champion but I never feel

:11:11. > :11:17.as if he has got me tonight, nobody has ever got me until they put in

:11:18. > :11:20.the final double. It's the final double that counts and I will never

:11:21. > :11:26.give up and if they miss, I am coming. He will have to come again

:11:27. > :11:34.tonight against Jeff Smith. We know what he will do, average about 93

:11:35. > :11:41.and check out at about 40%! He is like a limpet, Jeff Smith. Would you

:11:42. > :11:47.dare to predict that? Dawson played good last night. John Walton did

:11:48. > :11:54.beat him up in the first couple of sets and he came back and played

:11:55. > :12:00.well. It is almost the same sort of level now. That bit extra he has

:12:01. > :12:10.got, he can hit his shots out, Jeff Smith. We are getting back before

:12:11. > :12:13.that one starts. We kicked off this evening with Martin Phillips against

:12:14. > :12:20.Dennis Harbour. A lot of respect on stage. The experience of Martin

:12:21. > :12:28.Phillips? He has been playing for years. And Harbour has as well,

:12:29. > :12:38.Harbour is very slow. Phillips just gets on with his game, no messing

:12:39. > :12:41.about. It is like going for a walk! He is like hundred, hundred,

:12:42. > :12:50.hundred, Harbour will slow him down. He takes him down. He is a hard

:12:51. > :12:55.guide to play against. -- guy. He can win games you wouldn't think he

:12:56. > :13:00.could win. I want to mark your card for tomorrow afternoon because we

:13:01. > :13:04.have Scott Mitchell and Lisa Ashton both playing, quarterfinal action

:13:05. > :13:10.for Elisa, second round Fort Scott Mitchell. And those three games this

:13:11. > :13:18.evening. -- for Lisa. We have the highlights show coming up at 11:15pm

:13:19. > :13:23.after an afternoon when Durrant was smoking, Stanley was on fire and

:13:24. > :13:45.Wesley, of course the spark, still goes on.

:13:46. > :14:03.Listen to that cheer. It's going to be our year.

:14:04. > :14:08.With a little bit of luck I can see us lift the cup.

:14:09. > :14:10.It's the FA Cup. Anything can happen.

:14:11. > :14:13.I've seen it all before. I reckon we'll score four.

:14:14. > :14:18.It's the FA Cup. Anything could happen.
