The trans is hurling well here.
Doets holds his throw in a 33 dart leg… must be close to some sort of record.
Proper miserable game between Joyce and the Lithuanian lad. If today’s weather could be summed up by a darts game.
This should be a good one between De Decker and Woodhouse.
Tough start on paper for De Decker - we’ll see what he’s made of.
Michael Owen has started well.
Double Decker in real bother
Absolute dogshit arrows from De Decker
De Decker gone.
I had a feeling Woodhouse could do De Decker today.
De Decker is still not a proven consistent top player and a tricky player like Woodhouse was not what he wanted first match.
Disappointed to see him go as he’s a really top player on his day.
Yet another demonstration that Belgians are of dubious character.
De Graaf off to a shocker here
Oof, Sweeting misses 3 at D8 for a 2 set lead.
De Graaf scrambles a D7 to win only his second leg of the match.
Crowd fully behind Sweeting now and booing De Graaf any double he goes for.
1-1 in sets.
Sweeting had 194 left, hit 180, back for 14 after De Graaf left himself on 107. Splits it with 6 for D4, misses then De Graaf hits the 107.
That should drive him on to the win. Sweeting might be kicking himself but I doubt it - he’s enjoying himself too much to bother.
De Graaf wins it 3-1 but he’s a lucky boy that Sweeting missed crucial doubles. I don’t think he would have recovered from 2 sets down.
The Chinese lad looks like Hulk Hogan in comparison to Pietreczko here
The pair of them would fit easily in one of Plaisirs shirts.
Fallon is lobbing them well
Queen of the Palace.
Fallon isn’t very good but neither is her opponent.
A shot clock is needed for this Meikle fella
