List of Runners and Riders and so he should be he’s walked into some worldes though isn’t he especially at the Grand Prix Johnny Clayton couple of years ago and Luke hes this year difficult to to beat them on their evening now we’re interested and so is Brendan second told you he’s a [Applause]

Pist Bron the throw first G I actually think since the the pick up in Pace Stuart that he’s just finding it easier to play the game [Applause] absolutely he’s talked about it 74 he does do that he likes to get in there score as many as he can and get out well

He’s had two visits a 50 odd just a rubbish didn’t he but it’s still in Dolan’s hands but now he’s creating problems for himself by he’s not meaning to miss but he’s missing 96 BR require 144 Dolan still favorite he’d love to see this 60 go in

Follow oh my w 12 that is the set to Brandon Doan just the 130 in it and finishes it off with a 144 if you all thought this was going to be a routine win for GTO in price think again we good seven yep for [Applause] Dolan going to say not another

Monster9 going to require 100 that’s the [Applause] one long way off wow second was Dimo from gazi but this would be a real Nick double 16 now for a level set game get him in price is getting punished for every miss here it was a it was a steal it was or

Will not take out 146 146 oh I don’t know about that let’s have a look he got to stay there got to stay there got to stay there oh the most relieved man on the planet he was right welman he was right never in out there’s the roar there’s the fist

There’s the emotion and there is the set get with price we’re saying you [Applause] know he’s got to leave it hav he 126 Brendon he’s better than Brendon right now well he is yeah we could to see the Dolan iser not on this occasion so after being a set down he’s leveled

After being a leg down is he about to go ahead wants double 10 to go ahead Fage how important could this 84 be if this goes by Brendan he’ll then be throwing for the third set but he picks you off as you say that’s what he does that’s what he

Does and that’s what he’s done would you believe it and he’s 30 behind plus these he is he going to pick him off again well a ton 140 or 180 leaves it fascinating oh you got to keep straight that’s good he needed that he require this set is in the

Balance should be 2-1 price however got to move this has got to be the biggest the big 20s I was a d could fall out there you go buy for the set oh my would you believe it he’s picked him off again BR Doan somehow somehow somehow leades by two sets to one

Gizy knows that if they both find form their best form they it’ll win and the the top players that they say it and they they do it they execute very very well it’s why they win they’re they’re better than the others 100 going to require 81 every now and again Along Comes an

Opponent double six 12 out break more like it now he’s throwing to make it two all and he is frustrated isn’t he cuz he knows he’s he’s he’s having to to make an effort where price when he’s he looks natural and just plays natural 7 different man different adrenaline doesn’t seem to

Be flowing as he would like tops for the set 92 brenon require Bren all he can do is try and pop this he’s already popped a number of bigin 48 for Tops well it’s not going to go so getn price steps up 83 for the fourth set going to require 20 [Applause]

Just a a celebration arms in the Air Relief more than anything I you that was an early throw it’s okay this [Applause] time fourth not seen one from Brendan yet [Applause] [Applause] 100 going require 141 not seen a TP plus finish from Price yet 117 that could be costly toire You’

Expect Brendan to get a dart at tops here doesn’t want to go low on the first d doesn’t want to go low he wants to go high high high and now he wants to go high it’s a pitch another one want to go higher and he vicked another one GN

Price simply cannot believe what’s happening Brendan Dolan checking out at 50% but he’s nailing he’s winning all the big moments timing look at the response that on more than one occasion and all of a sudden Brendan will fancy taking it here and now again what a d yeah the 54 that

60er looking for at least the ton here BR require 85 goes three two up against one of the tournament favorites this would be spiteful 25 Bol too good the first start was the problem not the second going the require 96 he needs this does he [Applause] ever there’s the roar there’s the

Reaction there’s the emotion and we go to another deciding leg in a dramatic World Championship Showdown that’s telling Brendan Dolan you better hold it together pal because I’m coming for you what a St from Dolan counts for now the price can’t match him here well let me tell you the

Drama just keeps on [Applause] coming stay there for 2 four left no matter what he eats he’s got rely on Brendan Dolan to not take out 64 and I don’t think that’s the way forward this evening cuz Dolan has been mustardo on the nine out of 18 price has had 16 more

Darts at Double than Brendan Dolan what a good guide that is what a good go kin price is in trouble one of the tournament favorites it’s 32 down and he is fighting for his world championship life against Brendan Dolan here at the Ali pal he’s under pressure he’s feeling it

That would open it right up for all of them 36 going to require 140 he needs to produce some magic he needs to find something very very [Applause] special but it’s just not happening is [Applause] it all the big moments are being won by Brendon Dolan correct this moment is

Huge but he knows it’s huge so it changes things first sorry about that changed nothing he just hit the double the Thro first game on huge moments huge darts Every dart meaning so much even that even that five could open the door for getto in price got to keep straight it’s the

First thing got to move over surely a come on now had to move over we are closing in on a huge huge huge [Applause] upset 16 and I can assure you gazi’s thinking you any Mystics I’m not on a finish you start to tell yourself kind of spin yourself narratives he went for

The 25 even then got nowhere near a two leg lead and to move within one leg of a place in the last 16 the price at the world championship [Applause] 86 oh Brendon Dolan Brendan Dolan Brendon Dolan well without wanting to repeat myself 95 the pest looks like he’s going to strike

He has been absolute granite not over yet 19 or treble buy 69 going to require 81 is this the moment to stay in it he does just a little smile this time just a little smile one Dart of the B missed by Brendan Dolan but now it’s Dolan’s

Dart 100 well this may be a Mach require 170 we don’t know he’s got to it a treble here 94 what a pickoff ready to require 100 45 for the match well he has been brilliant on these finishes 144 130 120 just the wrong side so price with a chance to save

Himself to keep those dreams alive he’s left G price has to take this Out to save the match to stay in in the world championship tops that is incredible that is absolutely incredible when you’ve achieved what he’s achieved you find something you know you can do it under pressure and let me tell you it don’t get any more pressurized than that absolutely Sensational G an advantage

Dolan what a swing oh please Brendon 28 makes it look so easy oh dear3 61st start walk away with 83 in this position not good enough he threw he threw first here you know yeah that’s how good Dolan’s been in this leg somehow he clawed himself

Back into it with 81 and 76 finishes somehow he’s still in it but for how much longer he’s thrown 12 darts and left tops that’s why GTO in price is in all kinds of trouble gazi is going to be distraught if this tops or t or fives goes in bran Dolan for the

[Applause] match one of the biggest wins if thought the biggest win of his life bre Doan has caused a massive massive upset at the world championship GN price one of the favorites he’s been out played he’s been out for and he’s been outsourced price is out Brandon Doan it’s through to the last

16 what a performance on this Ali P St second favor people gone off the idea of Luke hum’s world champion could he win some round tonight this opening set has been pretty convincing so far but he’s left himself on double three 58 L requir well if you have to

Deal with a double three at least your opponents AR a really difficult [Applause] finish no score ends up busting his score and it is a difficult finish but it’s not impossible it’s possible no longer at least he’s enjoying that he had the attempt got it underway he’s not hanging his head [Applause]

Yet there might be some head hanging here yes a little eyes to the floor situation for humph not pleased with that at all Ricardo Pesco with the raised eyebrows didn’t expect to have this [Applause] opportunity but he takes it and gets his first [Applause] leg not only that it’s a leg against the

DTs Petco throwing to level this opening set and what could have been a regulation 3-0 opening easier for [Applause] kolhan 91 believe 90 so pretty standard stuff stuff of course Luke wants to leave tops but he’s going to have to settle for 80 100 90 90 plays 80 only 10 points difference

But one shot should get at least one at the outer ring one may only get one at the ball but that is a dart for double five that is missed require eight fair margin as well going to be [Applause] punished climbing towards tops and climbing into a one set lead little

Celebration there from Luke humph he would have felt he could and perhaps should have wrap that up a lot sooner but it is 1 n to the world number three he will hear about it and and feel all the better bogy number 163 so all he can do

Is set up but he is relying on Humphrey’s not taking the 120 set up very well require 120 he find his way through to the treble no he can’t 92 require [Applause] 32 the first leg P second leg Luke to throw 60 there is the German Chan in darting

Hope from Germany but he might end up being their best one well and because of Gabriel Clemens reaching the semi-final last year I bet there were a lot more German ticket purchases in late rounds here so if he can hang in here he’ll still have some support around I’m

Sure Clemens the only Germans to make it past this stage1 the world championship 91 here for Pikachu so trouble 17 we need to go double double a double 16 for breaker throw and a 2N lead in this set humph may have dominated the first set but it’s switched around in this one

Ricardo to thus it’s hard to imagine any player looking more Serene than Ricardo looks when he’s actually throwing a dart even at the out shots he it’s it’s tranquil like a swan gliding on a lake of Mer 100 [Applause] that isn’t very swamp set one without the stress of a

Deciding leg and he’s jumping all over the opportunity 14 well that needs to be answered don’t think much else will help could possibly yes thinking maybe 25 B the last start really 135 if he was blocked dble 20 would have left double 18 934 double to 14 for the set he will get

A look at it h’s not happy with something don’t know if it was something shouted out a whistle whatever it was 28 couldn’t take the 140 and this is to level the match up at one set a piece he slightly flusters world number three wasn’t it double 14 that got it all [Applause]

Started well he’s got that one finish and we do have a level game Co hand not having things all his own way it is Humphrey’s one Petco [Applause] W 45 BL 96 TR to win this leg at of caner and that’s exactly what he’s done and that’s

Exactly what Luke humre would have want a nice comfortable leg no drama yeah he is a good [Applause] counter and Pikachu it’s back 318s now for Ricardo Petco 80 points stand between Petco and a 2-1 lead in set Pr4 only one D kind of guaranteed here where he knows his Appo will get two well he’s got two so he’s rectified that discrepancy and it’s him to go first CH mman five wow you still can’t see it struggling to that on radar double 16 a Snapple the set away and he can’t

Do it and Luke humph is shaking his head because what was second nature for him for the last months just difficult to find right now man what do you do now if you’re Ricardo you go right back at it w it’s a strange game darts you know the one Dart last

Dart in hand it feels 4 in high but when it’s the first startart in your hand wow you just KCK it off lovely d f first leg Ricardo to throw first I’m sure Luke humph would have been on the practice board over the Christmas break some distance right

Now 60 something has to change drastically for Luke humre or he is staring at a 3-1 deficit and who knows maybe even a a route he’s gone to the case have a look at his equipment I don’t know if he’s changing anything 120 yeah and again you cannot at home you [Applause]

Can’t you can’t understand just how significant his equipment issue this evening before where he broke a point on One D and is impossible to get that bit out and put another point in and it it’s just he’s had to use other things there are whole other set or one different D

Whatever it is it’s not the same field but he was a guy for a number of years Luke hum he played where he had three dots and one had an odd point in that been like that for years and he just refused to change them by the picture of the broken Dart

We saw I don’t think he ever [Applause] did God’s got a bit of time here he’ll get two DTS to break Humphrey and then he’d be throwing for a 3-0 set and well these dos a good on 139 it does ask a question but it asks a

Question of a very confident man at the moment you know and you don’t want to hear the answer sometimes 18’s the answer and he’s got it there’s a bounce in the stride of Ricardo Petco as he takes another big step in this game now throwing first you got to be able to do

It at the minute Ricardo Pesco is getting better and better in this game this is the most convincing set statistically from either player and he was already 2 one [Applause] up he is all over the world number three [Applause] here 45 regard 121 the Germans are [Applause] J 18 it is 3-1

Petco luk is on the ropes and Pikachu is showing no mercy at [Applause] all well can he get a bit of luck here and his not get a chance at a double because the way his opponent’s been going he hits the [Applause] double gets the treble double 18 loves it up here

17 does get it 32 thank [Applause] you if it doesn’t go the end is getting n [Applause] fire [Applause] what just that oh and so beautifully using that other Dart deflected right off the barel and in and that was looked like something where he’s comfortable with

Those if we do could wrap up the set 100 170 two biggest finishes in the game staring at these two now it’s going smaller now there’s only ball left 135 saving R here for Lucas petko takes it it’s not the end of the sa and he might take it can he hit no he can’t pretty emphatic answer there 35 got to tidy up gets the three just about double 16 there’s the marker he cannot find the double it’s happened far too

Often and it’s only saving thing here is well he does have throw if there’s a deciding leg in the set but that would be to stay alive in the tournament and that’s a lot of pressure and that pressure is very much apparent Coan luk comies is a leg away from defeat

Potentially and not finding the treble no big trouble is big trouble three points behind and Luke feeling it good switch though excellent the best visit by either of them in the [Applause] leg can he get to a finish of any kind he should do from here 100 107

Travel 16 for double top it’s slipped into the sevens 57 Ricardo Ricardo PATCO could win the match right here it would be the biggest finish of the match it’s too [Applause] big 90 luk 50 double 16 he is still in it but he is clinging by his finger nails Luke

Humph I don’t know if he’s acknowledging support or sarcastically acknowledging the German fans it shouldn’t matter what a shot this would be it’s just the wrong side of the one well very important setup is it the pressure humph though 54 he didn’t really do that that’s my mind beautiful do do 16 just

[Applause] outside 66 cannot find the double record year 160 that would have left him throwing for a level game at three all this would leave Pikachu a leg away and he cannot get the trouble again well he’s trying to take it all very calmly but he must be getting a little nervy

Inside especially when that goes that dou Luke humpr now gets the breaker throw he needed and now he just needs to hold to take us to a seventh [Applause] deciding 89 potentially two dots away from a level game having been 31 down in [Applause]

S and he looked about as down and out as you can get morale wise1 double top double 10 we are going to a deciding set Luke Hy what a contest this has been it has not been the highest quality not the quality we expect but there’s something to be said

For Luke humph if he can find a way to win this because he looked a beaten man not long [Applause] ago 79 lug 137 both on [Applause] finishes 97 Ricardo 167 could it Needed that second trouble but he does get close if there’s a slip and there’ve been plenty of mistakes in this game no mistake there Luke humph leads this D match took the first set lost the next one he did get his nose in front a couple of times in set well that that

That looks no finish down for humpr but this is a good opportunity to a good position yeah one one of the hardest checks in the game 139 too hard for Pikachu on this occasion he is now hoping but humph does not take this there’s not as much pressure as he would

Have liked to apply beautiful 18 hum is now a leg away from Victory he has turned this around Third Leg loose to threr well the range of emotions he’s been through here wasn’t really punished too harshly oh and another of those and he’ll get to a finish oh doesn’t he

Leaves the 120 could be a Shanghai to wrap it up can he clear 300 points in two visits to the ball and win his sixth consecutive [Applause] leg [Applause] 81 120 look a beaten man but he’s going to get a match start to win it for

Three 100 Ricardo back 161 you want to talk about fantastic and farfetched this would be can’t get the first big treble 60 l acquir 20 double 10 to win an epic Luke country celebrates I think he’s just proved a point to some doubters he was not His

Brilliant best but he has found a way to win he can put this set to bed I saw the past eradicated dou 16 for Daryl 89 he finished off beaten with a t plus finish 136 I think if I remember correctly he also had another T Plus outshot in that

Same match against the Adonis 23 that first start at 16 was awkward for Ricky is he going to relinquish this leg oh he didn’t like that that is gone in at an awkward angle by the way well it looked it apologies darl’s just asked is that in and Russ BR said no that

Is the clue is probably the call of game shot from the voice but he called it then that’s all that matters and Daryl G won’t care which Dart went in the double as long as one of them did and Russ enjoyed it 59 R you require 14 no no

56 now we require 110 he’s not left it too handy is he Ricky for the set so this may be a set saver or he may be coming back we shall see that’s low he’s hunting the 54 for this start as well made a bit of a mess

Of that riy require 85 well this is a set clinching chance for Evans and with the minimum of F and in the quickest of tempo Ricky Evans races through the opening set of the match a manageable finish for Evans we’ve already seen a 130 on the ball Zone The Very opening

Leg of the match darl just needs to start grouping a bit better as you can see there when the one that found it the next one was low he’s done that times already not going to get a dart of Ball’s eye but leaves it double handy G’s being outplayed

Here chance to escape in this leg on double top 77 appeared to force the wire downwards W said he left it double handy he’s left a handy double he has and he’s taken it out this is the Ricky Evans that we don’t see that often but when we do it’s

A single D here with Evans nowhere in sight oh wow 64 well that’s not the setup he was looking for and Evans can come roaring [Applause] back 140 they require 1002 plays 112 gy first crack at this three Figure Set winning shot went for the 42 55 [Applause] left Ricky will Fen his

Chances at the 112 anytime a pro gets a dart or two darts 66 treble 112 to go two n up in set needs the treble with this D can’t find it 60 darl require 36 and that might be his last chance in this set it should be his last chance in this set

The door should be shut in his face here by [Applause] gy slam shot and Daryl gy has leveled up the match Ricky EV won the first set darl gy won the second it’s one0 race to four sets in the final match of the night on a night of dramatic darting

Action here at the palace rookies just decided to get quicker and quicker the last couple of visits now then darl Gurley knows the importance of this visit to the Board that leaves the bull ey really threaten it Ricky requires 64 well this would turn it right around D eight game that is good in a set where he has not played well at all he’s averaging 81 gurn’s only averaging 85 now with all the faffing in the last two legs if

Ricky Evans could Nick this WOW that’ be a boost for him right now to mind his work here he doesn’t want to let Bernie in does he wow run 50 gie you me that was [Applause] incredible what a visit from Ricky Evans to set up a set winning

32 will you require 32 to take the lead [Applause] Again oh good was a d and he loved it he absolutely loved it and that really was a nick Daryl gurny losing that set it will be absolutely bewildered how it happened well the last three legs were just not very good now because nothing should be taken for granted nothing’s for

Certain a player coming up with three in hand for their favorite double doesn’t mean it’s going to get hit 100 there you go there’s the inconsistencies of the set play 140 that requirement 21 one of the best legs of the match 18 beautifully constructed leg [Applause] finished

One one what a mess but he could tidy all that up right now with a 57 scruffy isn’t it 26 Ricky requires six double [Applause] three no scar they require 91 51 for Tops or bulk should go 51 that’s it the two in this set 71 just miss

Chance after Miss chance from both rck you require six who’s got the Killer Instinct at the back end of this leg no score Rick Evans was lucky that didn’t go out the board that hit double one if that goes out the board he leaves three caress got away with

It but it’s over now on second leg and PCO against humph and it’s difficult to get your preparation spot on when you just don’t know when you’re going to start and then it’s going on and on and on and on and you’re not on stage it it’s possible will he lay this one

Down he’s done it again 44 is absolutely fuming require 72 tops that won’t improve the Daryl gley move leg down the throw first game and now that leg that Wayne talked about is upon us gy must hold to level the match and gurny will be in trouble 60 that require on the 20s but gurny

Here has a chance to wrap it up level the match going to get two thank you thank you think Daryl stem was actually loose there as well see him play with it dou [Applause] 16 there it is and Daryl gy for the second time having got a set down let’s

Level the match up at two a piece under the C to hold throw and he give himself a great [Applause] chance one I know we’re only like three legs but this is one of the best sets of the match definitely tops misses it

Again 97 and a half in the set G he just over 100 double 16 for Daryl double eight 84 Ricky you require 20 so already missed 23 dots at Double cannot miss on this occasion no score so quick darl you require eight and those are the times when you feel a quick thrower is very vulnerable when they want a single double and they throw

Three at the Target and the first one he’s nowhere near a marker that’s right that played quite a l field and there is darl Gurley taking full advantage to go two and up in legs and now this is what you could call a big leg only W troublous visit from [Applause] Ricky

97 really at the business end now not just of this set you feel but of the match yeah 97 there will require 164 long range finish long [Applause] shot could you Daryl on the ball oh my Daryl Gurley produces the best finish of the match by a mile his best finish

Of the tournament and now he’s got this match in the palm of his hands and fair to say when I think he deserves to have it there after that finish that was incredible rck EV had left 148 still level up the set from Here well if Daryl canit his eighth Max or 21st 40 even that might be enough Rick you require 86 feels like it might need to go this double seven again 72 darl you require 130 Ravin had the very first leg just hoist him by his own patard here Daryl gley wants

130 and he can finish it it on double five wow this is incredible now darl Gurley has put two pull finishes right out the top draw 164 130 in the space of three LS for the last two sets darl gurn’s average 103 two games going deep and this is a grueling battle to

Try and get through to the last 16 of the World DS Championship one 14 21 144 needs to go 54 for bullseye bullseye oh Ricky Daryl you require 84 and another Match Point arrives for Daryl gy really taking his time yeah it’s like a fast ball of of his run isn’t he he’s

Gone to his full long run here gentlem best of to play what kind of delivery can he produce at the end of it but he’s very very good on [Applause] [Applause] 18 super Jin wins and goes on a lap of Honor just as he did against Steve

Beaton two big wins over Beaton and Evans catapult sterl gley into the last 16 of the world Dar champ
