2-2 in this set now
Unbelievable fighting qualities from the Dorset legend
Itâs Wayneâs World championship semi-final!
He finishes tops after Scotty had missed one dart at double 16 to save the match!
And is he happy, clenching his hands high above him like Brian Keenan when he was released!
And now the kids, or is it the grandkids, are on stage!
Scotty reacting in the dignified manner youâd expect
Great scenes all round and what a day for Welsh darts
It could get even better

When I said this day could get even better for Welsh darts, hereâs one of the reasons why
14 year Leighton âBoom Boomâ Bennett, who we saw in the senior ranks against Scotty Dog earlier this week, is in the World Youth final, which has just started
In his way stands our very own Keane Barry of County Meath, Ireland
And Keane has taken the first leg
Correction:
Leighton is English
I hereby resign from the thread
John Gwynne talking about Navan racecourse here
Keane leading 2-1 in legs, 1st set
John now telling us that Keane is a big Liverpool fan
What a lovely young man he is
And he has taken the first set 3-1
He has a lovely way of planting his darts in the board, almost horizontal
Reminds me of 1990 and 1992 World Champion Phil âthe Crafty Potterâ Taylor

Phil Taylor is one of Keaneâs favourite players
Keane must be a very keen historian of the game, given that Taylorâs heyday was almost 30 years ago
Great to see such knowledge in the youngsters
John says he wants to live to 120 and see both these youngsters win world titles galore
Tony OâShea corrects him - âI donât think youâll have to live that long to see it, Johnâ
Tremendous banter between the two Mancunians
Keane averaging over 93
This really is tremendous fare

Key darts there in the deciding leg of set 2
Keane misses double 10
But Leighton canât punish and he misses three doubles
Keane steps back in, goes outside double 10 twice, and then boom, last dart, finishes it
The Meath youngster is 2-0 up in sets in this race to 3
Is a world darts title about to come to Ireland?
Irelandâs Keane Barry is the World Youth Champion!
He beats Leighton Bennett 3 sets to 0!
Ole Ole Ole!

What a feast of darts this is - the two menâs semi-finals, and the youth and ladiesâ finals
Super Saturday indeed

Jim wins a very tough, old style, attritional matchplay semi-final over Belgiumâs Mario Vandenbogaerde 6-4
He has to be Delilah with that
Mikuru Suzuki has the best walk on in darts
