Men's second round (best of seven sets)

Richard Veenstra from the Netherlands had no problem in dismissing Englishman Martin Atkins by 4 seats to 0 and looks to be cruising to a semi-final spot

One of the great matches in recent times in the BDO where Scott Waites won in the 7^th and final set as the match went to a tie breaker. This was an interesting win for Belgium De Vos as Belgium is not a country well known for its darts and he only lost out by one sett I find that to be an incredible fact.

In this all English tie we were more disappointed by how much world champion Scott Mitchell only won by one set as I don’t thi9nk that too many people had heard of Mark Mc Geeney before this time but Mitchell was a champion.

I think that it is wrong that in the biggest tournament of the year that women in a quarter final only play best of 3 sets you cannot get any sort of a rhythm of the game and I do think this has to change now
