World darts championships 2017

Nearly there

We’re very much in the latter stages of this Super Saturday triple bill now, and the players are still getting the very best of order from the knowledgeable Lakeside audience.

Duzza so close a 147 there. Just missed the final red.

But he takes the leg and is just one away from victory.

Game, shot, and the match! Glen Durrant!

England v Holland.

Middlesbrough v Heerenveen.

Glen Durrant v Dan Noppert.

A pleasing symmetry to tomorrow’s Super Sunday final clash.

Hughes was shockingly poor when he left the 20’s, poor finishing,poor cover shots, poor doubles. Looked like he had no confidence at all. Maybe he just hates playing durrant.

Glen’s dire performance in the first four sets and subsequent miraculous escape against the Crocodile Dundee looks to have been a blessing in disguise for him.

It’s well documented that he puts huge pressure on himself, but that Houdini act looks to have taken both the pressure and the shackles off him and he has relaxed over the last two matches and appears to be playing with a lot more freedom.

I’m not sure if Jamie ever really believed he could beat him tonight - although he should have done after beating Wolfie - but belief is your starting point if you want to reach a world championship final.

Jamie has lots to work on. Lots, if he wants to reach the heady hights of the BDO.

That’s a lovely gesture from Jamie, saying that he’s there to help Glen practice tomorrow if he needs him.

He really does have a tremendously lilting, musical Black Countraaay accent.

Two class acts. I’m crying my eyes out after listening to Jamie’s interview.

Just watching the re-run of the ladies’ final on BT here. Corrine Hammond would be a fine looking lady if she lost a couple of stone.

Was yer wan bate again @sidney_waddell

Who’s “yer wan”, Massey? And who’s @sidney_waddell? :grinning:

Lancashire lass with the horny lookin daughter, lisa?.

Lisa Ashton is our ladies’ champion for this year after she beat Corrine 3-0.

Another brilliant ladies’ tournament and all credit to the BDO for making it possible.

Thats the one. Was that her first?

No she’s won it at least twice before. '14 and '15 at any rate. Beat Fallon Sherrock in the final two years ago.

Were you chaps not reading this thread this afternoon?

I was live posting the women’s final earlier.

Lisa has three titles and it was her third victory in four years.

No pal i have a life

I dread to think of a life without watching the women’s final live.

FAO of all darts fans:

Just a heads up, chaps, that the big one tomorrow throws in at 4:45pm, rather than the traditional 6pm start.

There’s no other decent sport on television at that time so no excuses for being distracted.

Just to recap: The final starts at 4:45pm British and Irish winter time (16:45 hours).

BT Sport coverage begins at 4:00 with Channel 4 on air from 4:15.
