BDO WORLD DARTS
CHAMPIONSHIPS
Wednesday, 6 January
Men's second round (best of seven sets)
Welshman Martin Phillips was a huge disappointment yesterday
as he could only get one set against English qualifier Dennis Harbour. I was disappointed
when Phillips did not get out of the blocks losing the first sets and I would
have wanted Phillips to win to break the English/Dutch dominance. I did not see
this coming so for me to predict who would win would be a lie. Harber went on
to win by 4 sets to 1.
Jamie Hughes cruised into the second round with a 4-1 win
over Latvian Madars Razma. Darts in Europe must be improving as we would not
have saw a Latvian get this far before.
Jeff Smith became one of the surprise foreigners to reach
the quarter finals Dawson must be disappointed as he3 could not get started in
this match whatsoever and Canadian Smith took advantage of this poor start to
the game.
American Larry Butlar became one of my favourites this year
after getting through the qualifier and first round but just got pummelled out
of the tournament by Englishman Glenn Durant
Welshman Jim Williams must have been majorly disappointed
last night as he got beaten in a thriller to Dutchman Wesley Harms. Neither
player deserved to lose this match but Harms was able to get that vital double
to win the match.
Women's first round (best of three sets)
In the women’s first round Lorraine Winstanley wife of Dean Winstanley
had an easy way of things in defeating Rachel Brooks by 2 sets to 0
