World darts championships 2017

Poor Aileen has been brushed aside by an in-form Lisa Ashton.

That leg at the start of the second set was to be the only one she won, unfortunately.

Ah well, thereā€™s always next year.

Was it Sharon who did the dirt on Martin or vice versa ?

Very impressive first set by Wolfie there. He takes it 3-1.

100% on doubles from Wolfie in set 1.

Fantastic 132 check out by the wolf man - 25, T19, Bull.

Boom!

Wow.

Spectacular finishing by Wolfie.

6/6 on doubles.

5/5 on doubles/bullseye for the lupine one.

And the 180s are flying in from both players.

Flawless!

7/7 from Wolfie!

A-ooooooooooo!

8/8! :clap:

2-2 in the third set after Wolfie finally misses a double.

Massive leg here.

Quality darts from Jamie. Thatā€™s a brilliant fightback to win set 3. Wolfie was playing ridiculously good darts but you canā€™t keep a player of Jamieā€™s class down for long.

Oooft. Jamie was on for a 10 darter there but still loses the leg.

Wolfie nails bullseye to sweep set 4.

Heā€™s just two sets away from victory.

Lovely to see a delegation from the Roman Catholic church, including Cardinal Vincent Nichols, in the audience in full garb.

Jamie digging deep here and heā€™s hauling himself back into this.

3-2 in sets but Jamie is 2-0 up in set 6 and is one leg away from levelling things up.

3-3.

Wolfieā€™s doubling has certainly deteriorated from what it was in the first two sets.

4-3 to Jamie!

Some turnaround. Can Wolfie lift himself again?

Fitness is a huge factor in top level darts these days.

Wolfie is now 60 and with his well documented health issues in recent months, I fear he may be fading.

But he knocks in a 180 as I type.

Itā€™s 1-1 in set 8. Wolfie with throw in this set.
