Barden pulls a set back.
We’re into a 4th set. Great determination by Clive. Stamina could come into it now.
Clive takes out 160! Ted’s in a real game now. You just never know what’s going to happen at the Lakeside!
Wow. Barden breaks throw at the start of the fourth set with a 160 checkout.
A fist pump between the players after Clive’s check out. Wonderful camaraderie.
Clive Barden is the image of Harry Hill
Shit just got real.
Teds mum will not be pleased.
A deciding set! You only get drama like this at The Home of Darts.
We’re now into a situation of extreme tension as Barden makes it 2-2. Come on Ted.
Keep the head Ted!!!
Hnakey 1-0 up against the throw
Let there be no panic!
Ted’s responding like only he can. Double 18 again and it’s 2-0.
I expect Hankey to win this match yet but others have looked in better form so far so I won’t be backing him to be crowned champiom
Ted Hankey reminds me of Chris Eubank.
Nothing soaks up the pressure like a Hankey. Five darts from 225 and Ted’s in Round 2. The coolest man in the place.
Ted takes out 85 to win it 3-2.
That could stand to him.
He’s simply the best. When on form obviously.
Ted “it gets in the way I just want to walk out and destroy!” when asked why he no longer wears his cloak upon his entrance! :lol:
Super darts here from Wesley Harms against the captain of Wales Martin Phillips, leading 2 sets to nil. We’re seeing the emergence of a new generation of Dutch players at Lakeside this week.
