'Ladies and Gentlemen...'

'...Let's! Play! Darts!'

Lakeside action once more and it's been a bit disappointing so far, although obviously not as disappointing as for past Champions Andy Fordham, John Walton or Ted Hankey all off home before even getting a feel for the oche. So far you have to like Merv King and the Australian 'Wizard' Simon Whitlock, especially with Barney not doing too well in his opener.

Certainly the atmosphere seems a little bit less interesting than in years gone by, but with slightly longer Best of 7 setters in the last 16 tonight and tomorrow, this might switch it up.

Games today: (My Picks in Bold)

Jelle Klaasen v Mervyn King (1)
Paul Hogan v Albertino Essers
Shaun Greatbatch v Per Laursen
Paul Hanvidge v Simon Whitlock (4)
