Excellent 45 dart leg there as the lads eschew traditional darts tactics by refusing to throw trebles.
Denis takes 10 from that visit.
Choppy waters ahead for Harbour. Must win this leg.
Harbour throws himself a lifeline.
2-2.
This looks like it’s going all the way
Darryl, on 182, hits 180 to leave himself double 1.
But he doesn’t get a chance to hit it as Dennis nails 47 to break and lead 2-1.
Unbelieveable scenes. Dennis with one dart in hand and 40 left, miscounts and goes for 25!
The Dazzler then nips in to win the leg!
4-3 Darryl, final set.

The fiery furnace that is the Lakeside stage caused the miscount.
Has Harbour’s ship now sailed?

Comedy gold as usual.
Drama…
Dennis saves it!
Justice there.
In the previous leg but one, Dennis was on 76 but the scorers miscounted and asked him to hit 86.
That’s why he went for 50 with his last dart. The BBC had him on 40, he thought it was 50 so went for the bull.
Dazzler missed two match darts and Dennis stayed afloat with his last dart on D5 to make it 4-4.
Fitton nudges ahead again in this Lakeside classic.
A shambles from top to bottom, Phoenix Nights stuff.
