Hugh we the the referee on stage at the moment played in the same youth team as fre scri that is a second maximum for Kevin dupes 40 81 King Barry this is the way to do 81 good it was a 13 D hold 11 break he resisted the temptation to come as a or a cook indeed 81 or a donkey 85 Kevin you mire 145 time on his side over 15 the tops oh my goodness 145 is out a 13 Darter an 11 Darter and then a 145 checkout to go through 3 n up takes another sizable slurp of water will it be nor normal service resumed yes 14 45 Keem Barry by way of contrast has just not got into any sort of Rhythm oh Max would leave 18 that is fantastic great job1 136 so now absolutely 18 for the match what about that a 13 daughter his performance here has been absolutely outstanding what a way to open the afternoon's entertainment few people maybe haven't heard of Kevin dues who are watching on now you'll remember him after that 124 what do they call it motor body repair shop in Canada 99 took out the ball there so he has a successful business and I think the attitude is for him is that he just played darts for fun when that happens you you obviously relax a bit more don't you he has been playing some non-ranked stuff as well he got to the England classic final a couple of weeks ago Miss for 3-2 to go halfway to the second round that's a good D he needed that cuz it been in the back of his mind he's been getting opport unities to break he's got to be aware of the the Sucker Punch of re Griffin grabbing a break himself evenly match ball into play can just lay this up they should should have been using the ball shouldn't he 107 dou eight for the Canadian 100 game two re off Saturday afternoon the extra session at the World Series Finals in hand 43 eigh leg to thr first well it should be four all 43 45 re require 97 plenty of time here for he's gripping to take the flag that's confidence for you isn't it yeah I'm confidence and having time on your side Jeff Smith way back in this leg 45 eight holes a throw Reese Griffin will have to make his move on the jeffi throw at some point done in that I mean you'll know yourself it it it 11 legs doesn't seem first sign there I feel that his head just dropped a little re Griffin such a big swing isn't it there's that 56 combination to lead and he's throwing for the match and all of a sudden he's throwing to stay in the match and J Smith is uh some big scores that just keeps him interested he's first to a finish you'd expect a good setup here from Jeff 136 re you require the DS of experience from the Canadian and he is going to get match winning opportunities here's Griffin Ted himself well here missed an opportunity in the previous leg and is he going to be made to pay Jeff Smith matched that and he finds it and the only break of the match goes the way of jeck Smith he goes to against debutant Greece Griffin who quit himself well had opportunities but Jess can they get another oh it's a good lie as well can he keep control oh oh well that one came straight out of The Sweet Spot didn't it disappointing there was certainly there or thereabout you could you can't really tell from a replay where it was going to go cuz it hit the barrel yeah maybe just took a deflection off the barrel didn't 95 and then straight back out again wanted to have a pop at it didn't he yeah brilliant darts perfect darts in this leg so far from Dirk D B with that unfortunate visit in between 8 requ fully in control of this leg now yeah great to see him getting back to form double 16 for the leg 51 and will'll come back he's one of the big one of the characters on stage isn't he the crowd like to the walker music obviously starts it all off where his hat on his sleeve as they say yeah everyone in the audience gets their maximum heart rate up as well when he's uh walking on only just down to their resting heart rate now or recovery heart rate he's trying to find a good angle here cuz that first one was a blocker is on the Finish though one he's not going to get that opportunity though himself on the board so just steadies the ship there Dirk and now he's got an opportunity to put some any favors what whatsoever 16 166 well at least he knows he's going to return 130 it require 32 so double 16 again for Durk to level things up at two a piece and break back no score well he was marching towards those doubles getting closer and closer just that little drawing of breath that hesitation and a miss on and he's going to pay the price for it as well darl gy remorseless with that check out an amazing maor major miss last leg big chance to level at 22 oh 137 41 and 32 is a totally different game isn't it little bit of a grind for both players at the moment but gurny in control of this leg 57 requires 78 and this really would be a big step towards Victory if you can see this one out so tops the angle of that second down was amazing almost ready to fall out has to take this one me got the chance brilliant brilliant from vov B big 110 check out he needed that under real pressure there and 3-2 looks an awful lot better than 4-1 down absolutely that fire in his belly and he's got it at the moment and it's working back comes gurnie big maximum from gy number two and that is maximum 200 in 2024 for Daryl gurny importantly for him himself Shanghai 93 has to take it as well you feel yep tops it is 100 so Dirk will come back re Dary knows that was a big opportunity Miss there one D missed to go into a 4-2 lead and punish forward as well van dber breaks the gy throw levels things at three a piece and this one is brewing up Wasing both have the big fish gie first one to have a pop 8 17 over to you then Dirk not to be crucial point in the match four we ahead this will put him one away from Victory double 16 massive dots massive Dart from darl gy and effectively would have become a penalty shootout in that leg and he prevails good thinking but 134 is a difficult finish can gie leave something handy to win this encounter we go for bull yep and getting itly last start from Daryl G they obviously went for the 25 but got the bonus by hitting the Bull's Eye to leave himself a two D for victory Big D can't do anything about it 96 require 51 so could have two dots here double 18 it is double nine for the match O So Dirk Van doen b a left let off the hook 19 this absolutely has to go for dir to take it a 54 and he stays alive gives it some we love to see that the crowd love it he'll certainly cheer him on in the next five six minutes or so from 265 he should have really been starting on the trouble 19 they go a ball here again 25 kind of the aim and gets the bonus right then second attempt to land the big fish oh two more darts does it oh one more Dart does it who on then in the middle oh 145 well a roof would have nied it off here in Amsterdam if that one had gone in instead it's over to darl gurny to close this edgy match out with a crowd on his batch well he's going to have to go the bullseye route here he's going to have to go for the trouble 12 gets a single it's bull there it is he wants the ball to win it and he gets it brilliant from darl gy and a little bit of Afters with the crowd as he addresses the darting public here in Amsterdam and asks them to call it how was that for you you tend you tended to get it at lower level playing in opens you know they would be Keen to take a sculp used to make me chuckle really 58 164 big checkout required for man is trouble 20 the traditional route trying to traditional TI is up that leaves Double 12 super D and another shout yeah well is a kill's heel of the last year or so is he's sort of been carving out opportunities and then and not taking them and then let men's right back in the leg 89 as casually picks off the ball well this is Handy it's putting that one 142 Under Pressure 40 142 now can Cameron get into the game now 64 needed same again for the double yes he can a 15 data and an ironic shout this time from Cameron price only averaging just over 91 despite being 4-1 ahead go in price doppelganger there I'm sure he was celebrating that 180 as the dart was in the Airy three Andy on his doubles price four out of seven you when he's when he when he has got his finishing boots on 15 doesn't tend to to lose because his scoring ability gives him opportunities well it'll be a big turn around now as man's could his way back double 12 that's a 15 G and just the double he wanted this combination finishing has been outstanding he's been most players will use sort of both travels CU they're side by side but actively seeks out the treble eight to leave toire 40 look like a man back with confidence and there it is the winning do well they enjoyed that didn't they good game to watch go with price through to the next round darl gy awaits he averaged close on 99 and beat Cameron men's six a lot of players rankings are inflated by one particular tournament he's just ticked over OB wins European toy when his eighth one to go his is all pretty steady as he looks for a ball for the opening leg 86 PT require 120 chance for right opening leg even more of a chance now tops to take it really good finish from Peter BR what was good the second out was quite low in the big 20 b it left an open bed to the tops and One D missed the ball like trouble by I think he's going for triple 16 and double you have the option of 121 Dave you require 12 big adjustment from trouble 19 to treble 16 but he couldn't find it treble 17 to keep the shot alive and he had a d ball in the opening leg and he's had another one here marginally missing on this occasion PT requires 16 I margin especially in a race of just six legs that's for 2-0 12 da well going to be honest didn't expect that to exchange a couple of breaks of throw a little step back he passes up the opportunity as well a little bit Scrappy at the into this second leg second took him six down to find a winning double his approach last year when he hit a bit of a wobble in the Premier League was to focus solely on the Premier League and not play other events this year he did the reverse just tried to as much he can try and play himself into form and he's had to stick with it and he's had to really patient but he's starting to reap the rewards of that mentality he's adopted this year 3-1 get another crack in it finishing has been off for both P right's missed seven darts at Double chz missed five 59 PT require 32 open up the twole cushion again B Peter have some problems with his side the board early on in the match eight four Justin not this occasion halfway to a clash with Jeff Smith will not shy away won't be panicking yet whilst it's only one breaker throw although he will be concerned that his throws getting wrestled away from him here one of the best in terms of just forgetting about a bad defeat or a bad tournament Dave chis getting on with the next one 95 P 124 we could leave the Finish but right looking at 124 real pressure on Dave chisel here 84 Dave you acquire 170 just for a hold got to go hasn't it it's a huge ask and it's not going to go double breaking coming here for Peter right 96 quite happening for Dave chisel and this game is getting away from him re grip there for pet should be a perfect guide the fifth leg Peter six leg Peter is that the game I wonder the four1 double breaker throw and yeah da chis ball is just way off just not today 100 140 good to pile the pressure on chis once more 116 stay in the mat back 19 can't find it so match winning opportunity 56 coming the way pet require 108 world number 11 Peter rght brilliant double 14 for a place in the last 16 of the World Series final 94 Dave you requir J for just a second leg now for Dave survived a match that 15 no score he didn't think he thought he didn't think he was in double five did he thought he was outside so just compounds Dave chisel's misery double 15 he wanted but he didn't know go straight for it game and there it is it really was very very easy for Peter you can't help but conclude maybe that the light is fading just a little yeah yeah I think that's fair to say when you when you crunch all the numbers it's it's evident he's not the player he was but I say he's still absolutely adores the sport practices Hard 100 you never know I mean Peter Wright was in a in a world of trouble not too long ago he's somehow found his form he looked as though he was finished didn't he and then he comes back and he starts throwing well and Simon whitlock's done that a lot in the last sort of decade really been moments where he sort of started to slip down the rankings and then goes away reinvents himself comes back and gets on a run and consolidates his position in the world rankings P interesting Peter telling us that he thought it was a little bit drafty up there on yeah he said he felt a bit of a breeze up there said it was quite cold tops good dart game a pretty handy opener 12 D from Rob cross 133 Simon require 86 blls I needed that's a little bit of a flash of the old Wizard game on Cross finder 180 and pile on the pressure 140 Simon mire now 80 for Whitlock and now tops didn't even contemplate going for the trouble 20 60 that wasn't a great requ 111 trouble 20 now needed for double 16 79 thought he got it yeah it's it's quite strange sometimes it leaves your hand and you you know it's going nowhere near and then other times you think oh that's that's in and it just grazes the wire let's see if he can do it this time double 16 for 4-1 all with him cuz his darts just lay over to the right now he's going to have to move right over do I go right do I go left thinks H I'll go right how far right over there checking with the ref that he's uh in an acceptable Place noore acceptable stance and acceptable B he will think double one no score have another go rob Robbie require 32 the clocks had 21 dots so far cross 18 19 and away he goes six leg up to throw first game on on certainly be someone in your ear double six 114 Simon require kind of thing Richard ashin would now yes I would imagine 120 required can't do it now nope looking at Bull and he gets Outside The Wire 41 double six again then for Rob cross for 5-1 to put him within one of a place in the next round should be a good marker this time oh my goodness remarkable no score any kind of require 79 and that Dart was going in double 11 game from the six leg pinches the leg come on he shouts clenches the Fist and it's 4-2 he still believes seventh leg Simon to throw first hence why they're continuously exploring new territories to take the game further field needed the treble there for the chancellor Shanghai now cross 104 for a break of throw oh great Dart single would leave now he's gone 14 which leaves him double 18 his favorite double gam on the seven flag that's why thrown with certainty another 18 would have been double 16 I guess most players would go that way now cross 124 to win the match going the ball it will be about leaving his chosen double 63 he's actually looking at 5454 for8 100 Robbie requires 25 would leave 18 which is where he likes to go Oh in the midle the ball double four same part of the board good and gets it finishes off in style with an 18 dter it was never in down the outcome of that match in all honesty that won't help at all so it looks like he's going treble 20 couple of different routes are getting this done 53 and just about Tiding up by virtue of hitting that single five Andrew gild with the last Dart he's going to have to have a big finish here otherwise he could go two n down oh1 require 6 so an opportunity to go two n ahead it is very good start from westle setting the nerves taking a two nil lead against Andrew Gilden who hasn't really got started yet needs a good confident hold to throw and that is a very good way of starting 14 almost a perfect start in this leg but he hasn't six legs to nearly won't want that to happen again here well no but if he doesn't up his game that's a possibility that's better still chasing in the leg all and five very consistent westle nman rarely a visit going by without him finding a treble just to shore up the scoring close to a ton average at 9766 it's getting slightly better in terms of scoring but n is in complete control well that wasn't what he wanted trouble 19's a shot but I think 25 would have been a good option to leave him a two D if he doesn't a treble he may only get one D at the Double so chance here to break the throw long shot 54 off the cent of the ball there long way off so Nan returns with 62 his Target 20 dou 16 and his doubles have been very impressive indeed that's four out of six for westle nman now as he races into a 4N lead against Andrew gilding the lead effectively in this leg can he get to a double that was unlucky yeah when things are going against it those sort of things happen well he has left to finish but it's a big one that bounce out may have cost him a doubt at the Double depending on what nman hits here has to switchy one and possibly westle nyman's least effective leg in the entire match and gilding has a chance now but it's going to have to be perfect sets it up perhaps with a treble 13 yeah good last will he get a d to the double hasn't had one yet nman 5 n ahead 116 the target needs trouble 20 for double 18 no so Andrew gilding does come to the oy now with his first darts at a double in the sixth leg well there we go that's how you do it Andrew gilding gets his name on the score sheet and can the unlike needs the treble no 58 that was not ideal so wesle nman now with a outside chance of taking out one 121 to win the match 57 and you require 104 Andrew gilding now with a century plus checkout facing him with his opponent poised on 64 didn't really attack that TR 20 there requ very low and then very high so for the match tops it is two dots in hand Andrew Gilden comes back then so chances going begging for wesle nyman to seal the contest put it to bed with a huge lead out to save it 38 let off the hook that was a major opportunity for gilding to hang on in there in this game has it gone now has it gone for good well he bishes the nerves and he gets it done wet nyman couple of wobbles just towards the end of that match but otherwise a thoroughly impressive performance rlam okay a playoff yeah it's Ali P's the biggie isn't it if you're not involved after used to be involved it's a tough one to take and it then becomes a mad scramble the year after you you then placeing the TOs under threat 120 lucky for7 yeah he's found himself down at just about holding on to a place in the top 32 in the world that's an unlucky bounce out for Michael Smith as well J 158 to soza back in the day just hang on hang on double 19 good unbelievable unbelievable from Jose DOA we said at the start that he's more than capable doing exactly that boy he done itwi struggling to make the PLAYERS Championship Finals in that's three bouns Michel have LA to do with the board he's hitting his own DS they got a good view it there platted into the first two darts on the board it could have cost him an extra Dart winning the leg just to level it tops ah yes 92 and two DS followed by 102 D and the upshot of all that 22 oh 95 a mixed bar it from the 133 get a look at this 117 just the one treble needed 117 n te should be and he gets it tops brilliant hit from Jo just when we thought he was turning in Michael Smith favor 110 and 117 out breaker throw the SOA leads again 29 so quickly it's like they don't even look it just come so naturally the switch is in half a second great shot 140 then just when the players get used to him well Smith here with a chance to go ahead for the first time in this match going to be one that only needs one that he does lead for the first time Michael Smith he's chased and chased throughout this match finds himself two legs away they were Rush DS they were poor Dart a chance for the the Portuguese here he's going to get that opportunity 8 would converted given an opportunity to throw for the match warmed up 5 two Michael re 76 Smith this could still get awkward it may just be one there he's going to get the two brilliant first ey up for double four and he pins a double four he knows how big that is there's no real reaction for Michael Smith he knows he's involved in a proper game here the out opportunities but now he's got a throw to stay in the mat this to end it in style on this occasion theza they only be afforded one that balls out here the for are decided then 82 left that was one of the worst starts he's thrown at one of the biggest moments 45 Michael SM to be better off than 110 110 he has a chance to win it right here 74 stay in require 40 deciding leg in our final match of round one we do have a deciding L Jose Doza sends us all away but it'll be Michael Smith with the advantage of going first breathing space for Michael Smith down shley one looking at treble 19 he'll take a big treble he could still possibly have a couple of VIs with this 106 he he's got to come down he's got to come down well that's the way he plays he gambles doesn't he he backs himself 106 he's still battling away Jose for the match that's how close he was for the match 129 what a way this would be to win it oh what a shot this would be there's the first one and he can't find the second on some effort it wasn't a really good guy but another opportunity for Michael Smith what an effort from Jose Doza Michael Smith lets out a big Roar as he scrapes over the Finishing Line a fabulous Game hats off to Jose theza probably the best he's played all year but he still ends up beaten by six the
