WORLD PROFESSIONAL DARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020 - O2 ARENA, LONDON

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

I’d say young Leighton and Scotty will be cleaning the knowledgable crowd’s beer glasses off the tables after tonight’s darts has finished

And they won’t be filming it to put on Twitter

That’s one hell of a walk on tune that Thibault Tricolore has

And the Frenchman has a great name too

The Hives “Hate To Say I Told You So” greets Ryan Hogarth for this final clash of the night

That’s something nobody will be able to say to BDO CEO Des Jacklin after this thoroughly successful move to London’s prestigous Millennium Dome

The peerless John Gwynnne on commentary alongside Blyth’s Paul Nicholson in this none too Spartan* setting

*That’s the third time I’ve 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 Potter’s school pun to throw here Sid.

I’m 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 Harry’s school was Hogwarts.

Everybody is in a good mood at the Dome tonight

Can’t see any prospect of a J.K. Rowling

They seem a bit subdued, like they’re under a spell.

They’re 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 he’s 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
