61 one of those awkward checkouts you might only get the one do at the Double Brendan is going to be breathing down his neck 61 found his rhythm Brendan it’s uh seems to be suiting him it’s double 60 for Anderson 45 just all in now just nerve

Just fing his D want and you just want you don’t want to hear a game shot you just want a chance at this 83 and wow he now becomes the favorite taken out with no fuss at all Brendan Dolan breaks the Anderson throw and is in total control a set [Applause]

One one treble combo finish he’s got the treble that leaves double 16 and Bren misses a set do 120 Harry Anderson is going to get a d oh is heant Bren require misses the big number does not get a dart for the leg he’s only had one dart at Double in this

Set and he’s just lost it Bron Dolan takes the opening set with not a great deal of bother at all and Gary Anderson has not got into a rhythm as yet 130 no need to go for the bullseye at the end of this so even if he gets the Trel 20 this next

Door he should lay up is he yes he is sensible play yeah sensible there’s always the fear with that 18 rout you hit the treble I’m seeing that done for a bus but very sensible tells me he’s confident not awful lot coming back from Anderson good time for dman at the

Moment for a breaker throwing to take charge a set two it is all Brendan Dolan hereen two on up throwing for a two set lead now five one in legs and Gary Anderson has only had darts to win two of the legs so far look at the score he’s got the

Freedom to do what he wants from here but skinny one is not what he wants unbelievably s five see amaz even when he got himself in a commanding position in the he might have just thrown it away and with it the set potentially there’s a lot of frustration

And anger in there for Gary something he’d have to manage he knows that 84 he’s a two down for Brendon 419s would leave tops he has the 419s he does not get the tops and Brendan Dolan to take a 2 N lead in set chattering away to himself self

Motivated and what a d that is have we got a major shot in our hands here Brendon with that 100 finish is Taken full control of this match right now it’s not changing is it4 and that was a nervous nervous look at Brendan’s score there you can just see that’s the agony

You go through it was the Ecstasy yesterday when he was playing Super Doran has got a dart for a big big lead 72 Goan misses the opportunity to break and go 2-0 up in this third set when does the missing stop Gary no when does it end wow Bron you require 32 to

[Applause] break next door for D eight and this is incredible is difficult to believe the great Gary Anderson the for man in the world is being humbled against Manel and price they had more win of legs and Brendan has but boy as he produced [Applause] tonight better from Anderson leaves himself

68 when you see 188 you’re thinking 140 or 180 please 100 well the certainly is enough to make Gary feel nervous double top it be and double top is there Gary Anderson has a leg well there’s the strategy forget double 16 Gary and back to top completely at ease far from

It this could be a settler 81 Bron you require one 106 for the third set 3 n lead treble 18 he’s got it double 16 [Applause] 74 for a second there was if the crowd were a help or hinder butan kept together openly admits that double 10’s

Not as fair but you can just see he’s deep in thought now and setup play Perfection from Anderson big 13 shely 133 Gary Anderson in the biggest leg of the match leaves tops after 12 dos the finishing has not been good nothing’s been very good from Gary

Anderson so far but he needs to get The time May turning Gary Anderson absent for the first two and a half sets has got himself back into this game to throw whatever happens lead to 12 that’s exactly what he’s done it’s only a second 18 180 of the match they’ve both gone to Gary Anderson this will be Brendan’s first 140

HX when I think the Gary Anderson’s World Championship wins I do think they that double 12 now it’s awkward 18 brenon 87 brenon Dolan has a chance to break this is a real opportunity is it the bull or is it double five it’s the bull 5 would have been for a breaker

Throw as well requ there’s still an awkward double three to clear up here unless he goes to the two segment straight third couple of sets it was Brendan that was setting the headlines but you just Sense on yet Gary Anderson is coming back 14 set play it is

Brutal in the space of minutes Brendan Dolan has gone from looking like he might potentially thrash Gary Anderson 81 but now potentially being level with him Double 12 it’s there and The Flying Scotsman has dropped himself back level with Brendon Dolan 161 161 facing both men it’s too big for Brendan he doesn’t

Need to persevere in the treble Def and I think the well I said that the reason he was going to do that because he’ll got the balls out with the last to guarantee him at least a two D not the best board management from Brendan there he may have provve me wrong by

Checking out this 102 and say what do you know 93 br two started this leg with back toback ton 40s but now he’s having to take a ton plus finish out just to hold his throw he’s going to go to the bll here

Is he he is and he gets it as well he’s got the hard routes and he makes it work management only to go starts that’s why these guys practice it so much trouble 17 for Anderson to [Applause] lead not far away from getting his nose in front there

Requ didn’t look at that that last start just that relief when you don’t hear the game shot I just realized it is George no who’s referee and so probably will go the distance tops for Doran 76 the shots aren’t going for Brendon now there’s been a few double eight Gary Anderson leads in

This darts match from two sets down and two legs down in the third he is somehow P it round and it just hasn’t quite been there a missart for 3-0 set lead a missart to break in the previous set a Miss start there to hold

Throw and if Gary was to get over the line you don’t see it but it’s good to have this as well this kind of game that you’ve been involved in for the rest of the tournament it’s not often you see someone just Blitz the way like Michael

Vanan is doing like Chris dby is doing at the moment sometimes you’re going to have a match where you know you just got to show a little bit of determination and that’s what Gary’s going through in this game cuz this 100 Gary 80 is for the fifth set double

10 is there beautiful stop Gary Anderson Gary and he is now flowing through this game and require E1 I think he thought all three were in there it’s all about Brendan Doan here with your opponent then 161 you have got a decision to make and that’s respect Bullseye 56

161 tell you what a little bit of magic just a little bit of magic from Anderson get the next best prize and because Brendan wary of Gary went for the ball he now has to burn a dart to get to a double he does tidy that up very nicely

It is a break of throw resistance from Dolan is averaging 116 we said he had gears we said he had levels he’s found some 16 or eight 16 but double 16 for the set 73 well that one he can afford to miss he will not be so fortunate when he turns to the

Board 100 Bron you require 32 it’s have been a wonderful repos from Brendan Doran just getting himself ready double 16 he loves it this side of the board remember but the adrenaline rushing through what a fantastic we are going all the way Brendan D is Contin to

Bounce back and he’s just like that Terrior at the ankle of Gary Anderson we G the distance pick a winner foran what a time it would have been to get it [Applause] then could go to the Bull’s Eye he didn’t want the bull he want to

The 25 that’s why I saw many go on the 15 typical that happens but what he’d give for the shot at it 144 tooran what a perfect Dart this match has had everything he took one out against Goen price at a crucial moment he’s nearly done it there but he misses and Anderson

Double four worries the wire and cannot find the double require the coolest man in the building is the man approaching the [Applause] oy can he stay focused yes he can BR Doan is a leg away but he has what dlan would give for a maximum right now there’s one there’s two

Wow the helicopter finger whs Gary Anderson double 10 Oh my he misses inside and BR has a chance to Inn the match BR you requires 63 to wrap it up and knock out the Flying Scotsman brilliant d double [Applause] 12 double six Brendon gold misses two for the match here you require 10 that’s the marker what a dart [Applause] F surely that’s it Brendan Dolan does not believe that this chance has fallen to him can he take it double three it is another huge scalp for Brit

And Doan he was too good for go and price and he’s been too good for Gary Anderson tonight who baval himself described as the prince of the palace and that’s why only a couple of visits to get a maximum out his 21st of the tournament and isn’t that class Ray

Comes back with one in answer attacking that ller throw so Luke’s finding it’s not all easy here but a good answer what a game this is already first leg we dare to dream of an absolute classic 129 let’s hope they deliver ller to try and leave this handy 79 in

The opening leg how about that 180 180 from the grandm I’m the pupil so 81 left and he leaves 62 but Luke he knows what to do with 50 hit a 10 hit TOS you win a leg it’s nothing when you’re 16 taking full advantage here he’s

Looking to win set one in this leg we going about it the right way thir the winner played Brendan Dolan for a place in the world championship semi-finals Dolan with a stunning win over Gary Anderson he’s had three stunning wins to be fair so far Brendan tops for the [Applause] set

Wow he continues the sparkle 107 a 16y old from Warrington didn’t go off the stage during the break left Bary to It carried on1 throwing away got to get this you feeli jump yeah a key a key D and he’s doing a little headshake there he won’t want to keep that attitude got to be rigid up there and Oho steady luk liter just marches on it’s the best way

Of putting it he’s just marching along and Raymond has to trip him up he has to hit his doubles when he gets the chance I’m having fun I I just I don’t want it to end you know and you’re starting to sense like this might

Be very fast this match he gets down to 48 after nine yds on the back of his second 180 and he matches it leag one two1 but it’s got to he’s got to make a prayer here two set to B Luke averaging 101 this is astonishing oh yeah the the

Worst legs of the match were both in 16 darts but the last five legs the the longest leg was 14 darts 27 really superb level of play here just because he could he went for the ball on the last D John to leave 100 65 and of

Course he hit it 100 well I don’t think he’ll stay there this is more of a 60 in tops two [Applause] tops outrageous it’s [Applause] Sensational I was going to say he may have to take it little on 130 43 he’s been brushed aside one of

The best to ever play the game he’s been absolutely walloped here at the moment well Ray’s going to wish he had scored better on that last visit well he’s still got a lot of work to do on this 127 it is doable though you need to

Start somewhere and he needs a treble 19 yes and a bullseye Ravens on the board and set free on a magnificent 127 he’s won a leg in every set he’s done well in some some way considering how lit’s played 100 he won’t be feeling like that [Applause]

Though first time that we’ve seen ller blink in this match and this is where an experienced veteran wants to dish out some punishment double 10 yes two DS only for the 80 Rond he’s still got it Rond the 127 could be a turning point four Miss

Starts at Double from Luke ller could be another 13 back this is from Raymond van barovo they’ve going to get a chance here 70 Miss starts a double from ller and Bary here to get back in this contest 39 wow Miss again yeah well it’s the sort of thing

Once you start hitting you start keep hitting and if you once you start missing sometimes you keep missing but this to keep the set going nerveless nerves of ton whatever way you want to say it but Barney has just missed two darts to win the set at the

Teenager and Little’s left 94 after line and that 180 doesn’t get him to a finish it won’t even be noticed by Luke ller here well they went for double double but that was always the real plan leave tops but the pressure from Barney is

Here 180 95 95 and this for a three set lead for Luke ller incredible this is Out of This World by a young man who genuinely genuinely believes he can be world champion 17 he left it cuz he wanted to he left it cuz he

Could he left it cuz he thought he could nail it and he wasn’t far off smiled for Barney he knew exactly what is going on yeah it’s a little painful while he’s enjoying some of the aspects it it hurts it hurts a lot double 10 oh the first

Start wasn’t a good one cuz it potentially block the route through can Barney be brave he can well done Rond van barav for a long long time there John Barley was out of it well again he’s 16 but he’s not new he’s been throwing these darts a long time

10 John I’m shaking my head in sheer [Applause] disbelief 100 6 180s a piece and uh Barney needing 59 to get a good try at this 161 to be sure well a good setup there from L it would have been it but the perfect setup here from Barney and all of a

Sudden we could be going on unless unless still the match hanging in the balance until that Dart missed 63 battled bravely he deserves this and he gets it and Raven V stays in business Luke ller will feel that after hitting a 6180 he missed a trick to win the match

There and then Finley drags himself off but with a smile you’ve got to keep believing stunning performance from Luke so now because he didn’t get to a finish this is a setup visit for Raymond he still go this way but I don’t think he would have went for ball

437 well he’s just doing what he needs to do for the moment holding throw he hit the 180 the face told you it probably doesn’t mean anything but we shall see we can’t miss this he can’t miss this or Luke ller will have the throw for the

Match oh and just hangs on on that last Dart and you see the smile on Luke’s face he realized what the stakes were on that last Dart he almost had this match in the palm of his hand4 yeah he knows how close it was little 102 Barney and Barney’s giving it

His all 140 is it all going to come down to one Le of darts once again John well it’s truly looking like that and that’s what we want isn’t it those really nerve jangling legs still got to clean this one up though if Raymond 56 surprised at that with liter not on a

Finish a little odd in my mind considering the stakes at this point of the match 64 25 the stay in the tournament double eight and forces Luke ler here to throw there there ever been this much pressure on the shoulders of 16year old Luke ller 170 he just missed it

Already he wants to wrap up the match with the big fish against the biggest Dutch Legend 170 one he can’t surely when he’s looking here at what Barbie’s on is he going to go for it well I guess he should have he’s ended up hitting double 10 going for the single

Yeah that just shows you think about it he’s saying think all about winning to create more history G what a performance what a player and what a story here at the world championship congratulator words of RA of B he knows Luke ller has been writing his

Own script luk ller has just written a new chapter and The Sensational 16year old is through to the world championship quarterfinals 146 two trible 19s now this 120 can be a lethal break of through thing but it’s it’s a bit odd when you need to do it to

Hold did this in the last leg for the shot at the 130 found a way through this time he went bll ball I’m surprised with the success he had in the previous leg1 that’s a very good observation because you can repeat what you’ve done and well although he hasn’t done it

In this match humpr is hitting a double 16 many a time this year 144 what a way to get going to break a throw he needs [Applause] another ah what a great third so casual I like that he isn’t over involved in the nine effort he’s aware of it

Certainly and wants to do it of course but he didn’t let it Sidetrack the fact he wanted to leave a double after 10 still waiting for our first perfect leg of this tournament Williams missed a dart for the [Applause] nine 11 will do for Joe cullins a break straight

Back fifth leg Jo to thr first 17 yeah well Joe has to get another triple 19 El Le double he does so pressure now in h it’s an opportunity but it’s still a pressure double to does not take the opportunity Joe C set it up perfectly to

Take the opening set here does so brilliant opening to this one both men averaging over a ton but it’s Cullen who takes set one single to the ball’s ey Le treble to single didn’t get that treble but he’s going to get 20 for Tops into the

Do this could be huge you love to take these sorts of outs when your opponent just missed a double or is on one even 13 34 Joe you requ a good pressure visit though cuz it’s such a good opportunity you might be nervous about visiting not Joe have that thank

You once again the thrilling potential of a n da it is on oh my word 89 he’s it three in his career they’ve all come this year he no surprise he’s constantly getting chances both have been seven darts into a perfect leg [Applause] the question now becomes will one of

Them get any further because it seems like a competition O A Miss Joe cin could sweep the set here he may look at double double no he goes trible 16 for double that is a comfortable shot really does appeal to some players under pressure he doesn’t like it he’s having to

Move now he’s going to move again for double eight luk is looking a little hot and bothered and slightly confused that he’s missed 10 darts at Double already and he might find himself two sets down well he should find himself two sets down Joe will be beside himself if

He doesn’t get this double 10 he gets it and gets a two set lead and the pre tournament favor is’s going to have to mount another comeback 138 not on this occasion this is as a set where cull has the darts as well holding throw is

Enough for a 3-0 lead from here and this is to hold his throw yeah he kind of felt like he should have been able to land that last one on top there it looked awkward but he didn’t think so but Luke doesn’t think that’s awkward second leg Luke

To and that’s uh exactly what Luke needed so you you have to think and it forces that on you and you have to be able to deal with these things every leg brings permutations but Joe cin is hitting back on from a little 11 da 134 J 54 that leaves

Tops beautiful guide uses it breaks straight [Applause] backers cruising his way back into contention in this leg humph dangerous on the Trel 23 oh good answer incoming here wow means Luke must get this done he’ll get one dart at [Applause] tops one dot is all he

Needs well in this set cull hit 180s in every single legane but it’s three breaks a throw and it means that humph is throwing to get his first set of the match yeah uh done his Masters in it I Suppose scoring is working tonight for Luke humph for the first time in this tournament he is going to need it to battle back from two sets down to color double 14 he has the set the third set and a nod of the head from Luke humph the game is starting to coales for

[Applause] him oh chance real chance here for cullin brilliant stuff 180 number five leaves him single to double level 19 is not there 93 J 48 so make sure the 16 double 16 now and that easy that break of throw means he’s throwing to be up 3-1 in

Sets it’s definitely a big chance for humph FP this set around again for the 11 segment double 14 so close to clearing 300 points in two visits yeah and oddly enough there are no time plus finishes in this match and we’re pretty deep there just aren’t

Any oh I couldn’t help you tried as did Colin but it wasn’t enough double seven now for humph it’s another breaker throw Luke humph and now humph is throwing for the set in a level game this is how quickly this is turning one way the the L to

Throw first same fate humph with his nose in front and again a chance of a Max and this time he gets it right he who SWS the markad art corn shall reap the points Harvest John 41 41 for the seter level game double 16 [Applause] 256 137 Lu requires

Left himself three darts to the double humph cannot afford to miss it is a two set swing if he does potentially he does not miss it is two2 60 is first to a finish but humph will get to something better have loved another in there but there’s still big pressure on this could

He no he couldn’t and humph will get a look now is this going to be regulation another little quick tidy up an efficient clean kill yeah two [Applause] Darter those two darters really make you feel efficient good like you can hit everything you look at scoring

Even better than going for the the 56 uh the 156 out because he might have ended up on double n now he has double eight and double four okay double two 12 cullin keeps getting these big outshot opportunities and just can’t seem to get a crack at a double on him

And he won’t here either the humph is already down to double two we know they can be awkward 42 four double two he find his way over that double one Luke humph has missed six set D yeah you know twice he’s one legs with a two Dart trip treble double

Combination then he misses six darts and then Joe punishes him Jo Joe cullin absolute thievery there punishment whatever you want to call it it’s Joe forcing a fifth leg in this set with the throw now and four this [Applause] set that’s probably for the best as well

No chance of leaving 10 we thought that in the last La well we did and it is for the best just because it doesn’t work out the way you think doesn’t prove anything’s right or wrong well humph isn’t even there to apply the pressure and that will do it for

Colin he takes the fifth set to the Delight of his friend friends and family and he only needs one more to take out the world number three done that he can still do this trouble 18 leaves the ball’s eye oh it would have been disgusting to win the leg like

That but beautiful at the same moment as with this couldn’t get the treble would have left double 14 and Joe cull all back to the board to level this set up double 16 double eight well now he’s in a real bit of trouble now 36

Luke up two n he has the throw and a set seven looks almost inevitable from this perspective wrong leg could switch things around 82 again from hum well this would be the first ton plus out of the match if he gets this ball6 in the last leg missed it in this leg

Humph gets the treble and the double it’s another regulation finish he sweeps the set to nil and we are going all the way what a contest three all in sets it’s 1312 in legs to humre is they’re both averaging around about a ton 91 can he take the opportunity beautiful double

10 71 but humph this is an automatic OT he’s hoping for one of those two Dart things to happen it’s going to be more like hitting a bull it’s going to have to be the bull Joe cullin has three DS to be in the superb Supreme permission position a golden opportunity is taken

By Cen he will throw for the match he has shown so little emotion hum’s feels pretty good about taking this leg now treble 19 just the wrong side of the wire 66 and and if Luke takes this he’s back on throw at least and into the tie break

Situation or getting towards it if he holds 60 well leaves a b number Joe cin has had a nightmare of a leg when the match was there to be won it is still there to one but he must break Humphrey here otherwise we’re into that tiebreaker situation it’s got to be by

Two clear legs can he fill it up to throw this into doubt just red the cards he gets one dart at tops and it’s low and Joe cullin does get his chance Joey require 93 match starts Colin he’s miss them both oh you can’t believe this Luke has to gather himself

That just s the adrenaline running through him he knows what he has to do when he does it and now we are officially in the ti Sit 100 well and it’s looking pretty good for cull now because that much harder out than what he has already available another one of those where he’s got to find his way past a block of Dart which he does to leave tops and Joe does pin that one no problems at all

Yeah first t plus finish of the match 100 it’s another opportunity for cin set it up take it out and he can’t do the setting up oh it’s so hard when you’re just in the leg that does it you just try way tooo hard you try to force it 15 and forcing the

Darts never results in success this is a good visit a good visit 134 require 100 two tops he has one and it’s [Applause] perfect saves the match leg he must have thought surely he was going to get another chance to win no need to go 20 and ball which is

Why he went that route and he sets it up T 40 would remind Cullen that he’s there in this La allow for dou [Applause] the what an adjustment first start absolute Beauty Joe is a setup visit pure and simple and he leaves 504 l l cannot keep pulling out these finishes can

He yes he can the composure the ability to deal with Joe and the situation ramble unto hope he is rying on the most reliable player in the world over the last few months missing to the 11s to double 14 oh and that’s the second time in the

Match he did exactly that on that number 107 double 16 seven it’s almost hard to believe he missed it’s all been so so much like a fairy tale double two humph has the break humph has the dart and humph has the match in the palm

Of his hand one leg in the two previous times and let’s not forget he was down he was down 2 N in the set the resilience [Applause] 140 is he going to Blink no he’s not this is astonishing Luke humph is going to get a chance to win the match Cullen can he find another treble he can he’s going to leave himself something oh it’s amazing 71 and a 5732 though seems so simple to Luke humph right now but

It’s going to go back to the bowl or no double five 79 they have both had a chance to win the match humph has just missed his cullin the 132 another in there oh double 16 100 it’s heartbreaking stuff is too B right over he cannot believe he

Missed that because he knows he knows he can’t expect to come back again double five he’s let go you can’t rate it you can’t make it up you can’t do anything colen can force the last leg all he’s got to do is hit double 16 so simple2

It’s the simplest thing there is except now to go to the very very end Double four 24 who can hold it together luga require 10 is it Luke Humphrey no yet he can’t wow what a fantastic finish this is oh and he’s done the same thing Luke D when he was

Going for double five first start bust on the adjacent double so it’s Luke hum’s now back for double five who even deserves to win this F who is going to win [Applause] it Joor require eight he somehow for the southern dead Lan which he will start he has the throw

Cullin somehow is back in charge Joe to throw first how can these two produce their best in this leg after all that gone before no he’s it’s too much and he’s unlucky not to get a 140 so there is opening for humph can he be as oh of course he can this is

Silly this is beyond belief the nerves are jangling but they’re both hitching 14 this is rivaling the great 11th leg between barnavelt and Taylor this cannot be happening five perfect doarts to start a sudden death leg after missing countless starts for the match he survived countless starts for the match and

Colin 14 well he’s L one 21 he’ll have the first actual crack for the match here humph needs more he needs more 81 he leaves 100 will not get a chance to win in this is it oh 41 remember humph with 100 with the tops tops finish to save the match

He did it to save it can he win it dou 10 Luke has one the most eepic of encounters it is heart break again for Joe Cullen how close can this man come to the quarters without taking that step luk
