Incredible that Bobby George doesn’t have a single grey hair on his head. The man is 67 years old. How does he do it.
Tony Green has just said that the PDC’s Sid Waddell was the greatest darts announcer of all time.
And here we go.
World record average holder Robbie “Kong” Green of Liverpool, Merseyside against the unseeded world champion Christian “Lipstick” Kist of Vroomshoop, the Netherlands.
An unbelieveable first round tie.
Beautiful, beautiful words from the great Tony Green about his mate Sid Waddell there.
43 and 58 from Kist the reigning champion from his first two visits, setting the tone for what is to come in this tournament.
Tony’s modesty has always prevented him from saying he’s the greatest.
Tony Green is a gentleman.
Superb, clear pronunciation from our referee.
2-0 Kong in legs in set 1.
Wow. Clinical from Kong and he’s a set up.
Lovely. Exhibition style out shot from the defending champion.
Requiring 56, he had the sheer audacity to go double 8, double tops.
Sublime darts. 
Class from Christian. Left on 56 he audaciously takes out double 8 and double top. 1-1 in sets.
The unbelieveable standard of this match is exemplified by the fact that most of the legs so far have gone against the throw. Players making a supreme efffort.
Huge leg coming up here to decide the third set.
Great fucking match this.
Kong with the winning line in sight after making a rare hold of throw in the first leg of set 4.
Christian looks to be on his way out here.
Kong one leg away from dumping the world champion out!
106 out shot from Kong and he’s throwing for the match here.
A defiant maximum by Kist!
Drama at The Lakeside!
Unbelieveable scenes as Christian somehow survives!
