Tournament chief Des Jacklins wife Paula loses to forum favorite Lisa Ashton despite having an average of 56.
Future of darts up now.
Scotty Mitchell appears to be playing with a beachball under his top
Scotty and his beachball are through
Lovely respect between himself and young Leighton Boom Boom Bennett at the end
Great camaraderie, you could say
Young Bennett could teach the likes of Pryce of having dignity in defeat, he will be a guaranteed BDO & PDC champion in the future.
The BDO is all about having class on the oche but more importantly class off the oche
As the All Blacks almost say, better people make better dart players
Iâd say young Leighton and Scotty will be cleaning the knowledgable crowdâs beer glasses off the tables after tonightâs darts has finished
And they wonât be filming it to put on Twitter
Thatâs one hell of a walk on tune that Thibault Tricolore has
And the Frenchman has a great name too
The Hives âHate To Say I Told You Soâ greets Ryan Hogarth for this final clash of the night
Thatâs something nobody will be able to say to BDO CEO Des Jacklin after this thoroughly successful move to Londonâs prestigous Millennium Dome
The peerless John Gwynnne on commentary alongside Blythâs Paul Nicholson in this none too Spartan* setting
*Thatâs the third time Iâve used this pun in the last 26 days
Lovely eulogizing of Galashiels and Jedforest here . The great Bill McLaren comes to mind . @ChairmanDan
This tournament is all about Darts Without Borders - apart from the lovely Scottish Borders country
There has to a good Harry Potterâs school pun to throw here Sid.
Iâm not really familiar with Harry Potter
Is it something to do with the similarity in names between Hogarth and Hogwarts
Gwynney and the Asset are a smashing commentary pairing here
Bouncing beautifully off each other
Yeah Harryâs school was Hogwarts.
Everybody is in a good mood at the Dome tonight
Canât see any prospect of a J.K. Rowling
They seem a bit subdued, like theyâre under a spell.
Theyâre under the spell of magic darts
No wonder the darting hotbed of Stoke is called the Potteries
Dart from the frenchman
Both players winners in this final round of 32 clash but in another, more accurate way, Ryan Hogarth is the winner
Last 16 starts tomorrow and there are some mouthwatering ties
Just look at that top quarter - Sparky v Scotty2Hotty and then Mick Unterbuchner v Scotty Dog
Unreal depth
Some match this between Sparky Harms and Scotty Waites
2 sets each and 2 legs each
First to 4 sets wins
This leg could tell a lot
Oh and Scotty steals it against the throw!
The class of a double world champion
He was 2-0 down in set 5
Now heâs 3-2 up in sets and he has the throw in set 6
Supreme matchplay darts
Scotty nails 82 in two darts with bulllseye and double 16 as Sparky was sitting on 43 for the break
First leg set 6
