Darts - World Match Play

Starts tonight at 7.00pm live on Sky Sports.

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.

Van Gerwen isn’t fulfilling his potential at all. He’s drinking too much.

I’m looking forward to this. 2nd biggest competition of the year. Get in.

Whose your money on Flano?

ALways got to be one of the big three. I’ll have to have a look at the odds really.

Hamilton v Anderson in the first round. That will be a belter.

These should be good also:

Baxter v Klassen
Taylor v Thornton

Wheres Webster and Whitlock? Have they not qualified for this?

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.

Lewis getting booed in front of an English audience. They’re a strange lot.

Good start from Lewis.

If the crowd were more boisterous i’d fancy Stompe to get back into it. The crowd are pathetic there.

Oh whoa go Co.

Just backed Stompe at 8/1. Could be mad. Or not.

He’s 12/1 now after winning a leg. WTF? :rolleyes:

Stompe has a chance now. Come on Stompe.

Gobshite Stompe.

Lewis is looking like he’s about his business tonight. Not man better than him when he’s in full flow.

He’s cruising but Stompe is making it easy for him in fairness with such erratic throwing of his own.

Strange match. Both players throwing unpredictable darts. 8-4 to Lewis currently. First to 10.

8-5 now. Come on Stompe.

Brilliant from the Dutchman. 8-6 now. :rolleyes:

8-7. :rolleyes:
