Great match to kick-off between Lewis and Dutch rogue Co Stompe.
Can the former tram driver beat Taylor’s former protege? I think so.
Also on tonights card we have:
Colin Lloyd v Wayne Jones
Mervyn King v Mark Dudbridge
It’s hard to look beyond Taylor winning it out but he’s no value at all. I’ve gone for a speculative effort on Michael Van Gerwen at a big price of 100/1. There’s no doubt the young man has lots of potential, i’m hoping he puts in a big effort against Barney in the first round and the confidence that sort of win would give him could see him go a long way.
Stompe knows good banter. This should be entertaining.
I’ll be keeping a close eye on the betting in running on this. I’m hoping Lewis gets an early lead and Compe might be a decent price then. Lewis could bottle it.
