I’ll have the dinner at 11am so just to be sure
Sunday dinner while listening to Marian Finucane is a great idea.
It’s throw time!
The 40th World Darts Championship final.
And incredible scenes already as Danny changes his walk on music.
He’s just walked on to the theme music from the A-Team!
Duzza gets 7 darts of the way to a 9 darter in opening leg of the match. Incredible standard.
That first leg had everything.
Duzza eventually takes it.
Duzza’s boss has given him the day off work tomorrow.
Jesus christ this is nervy stuff
First set to Duzza. 3-1, against the darts.
And Danny returns the favour on the same scoreline.
It’s 1-1. Danny banging in the 180s.
Danny goes 2-1 ahead after a set that went entirely with throw.
He’s playing really composed darts now and looks thoroughly at home up on the famous stage.
2-2.
Great set for Duzza against the darts. He now leads 3-2. This is a ding-dong struggle with the lead switching back and forth.
Bit of niggle developing?
10 darter from Danny to break in the first leg of set 6.
Danny is a spiky character like a lot of Dutch are.
But there’s no ill feeling, just the ultra-competitive spirit you’d expect in the final of the most prestigious darts tournament in the world.
Danny will be joining the PDC next week I presume.
FOAD, you oi oi oik.
Heading for 3-3 here.
Absolutely brilliant stuff from both players.
Danny averaging 95 and Glen averaging nearly 93.
Lovely to see Seema Jasmal interviewing Jamie Hughes there at the half-time mini-break.
They’d make a great couple.
