The action has begun at the Home of Darts - GAME ON!
Great to have real darts back.
Real Darts Real People the very best of order
Amazing scenes here with Tony o she’s being knocked out
A magnificent win for former Wallaby and Munster captain Jim “Seamus” Williams, now playing darts and representing Wales.
What a shock as Tony O’Shea bows out.
A sensational, seismic start to the tournament.
This should be a cracker
What a character!
I hope lisa’s daughter is here she’s a fine mare
Tony Green on the mike.
Yes. Fucking Yes.
This is a smashing match between New Zealand’s Craig Caldwell and Scotland’s Alan Soutar.
Craig is 2-1 up and 8/13 on doubles, but Alan is very much still in it.
Excellent win for the kiwi there
Fantastic. Craig has travelled from the other side of the world to be here and now he’ll face the world champion Scotty Mitchell in Round 1 proper.
And with an average of nearly 92 he’s showed that he’s here to win.
Commiserations to Alan but he lost nothing in defeat.
Darryl just about fittin into his shirt here
Some start by the Harbourmaster on his first time on this stage for a decade.
180 and 140 and wins the leg in 13 darts.
He’s got the “Eye Of The Tiger”, as his walk on tune suggests.
The Dazzler averaging 106 here.
Unreal standard here.
Brilliant set of darts. Darryl edges it 3-2.
Sink or swim time now for Dennis Harbour or his ship will have sailed.
A high water mark for the Harbourmaster as he sweeps set 2.
The tide has turned.
