O'Shea had a stinker of a match.
Could not hit a barn door .
Adams was steady though.

Christian Kist was knocked out, too. Gives some newer faces a chance, I guess (Martin Adams notwithstanding)

Terrific last few legs from Tony 'The Viper' Eccles to knock out Kist.
Treble 18, treble 18, double 7 checkout to stay alive.
Knocked the wind right out of the Dutchman.

Did you see the chap in the full head Darth Vader mask?
Commentator said "doesn't look like he's had much to drink".
And the boyo dressed as a yellow crayola crayon. Random

Was that Tupton Hall school by any chance or maybe Clay Cross ? .

When i first met John Lowe when i was a kid he was still a Joiner and up and coming darts player, he was doing us some joinery work . At that time i think he was living at Clay Lane Clay Cross in Derbyshire a few miles from were i live, he later moved to Wingerworth if i remember correctly .

Iv'e seen him and spoke to him quite a few times over the years since then, he used to go in the same local village pubs as me in Clay Cross and Pilsley in Derbyshire .

Well what an absolutely bizarre and farcical scene that was. If Atkins is genuinely injured why the hell did the BBC and their idiot interviewer Rob Walker go back and bother him ? What an amateur scene it was.

Kist was unlucky to lose with over 96 average

Watching Alan Norris v James Wilson on the red button and what a first four sets.
2-2 and the standard is phenomenal
Awesome stuff so far.

Edit: Norris stormed away to win 5-2 but that does not tell the whole story.
It was an unbelievably high quality match.
Both players were superb.

Caught the end of Lisa Ashton's great quarter-final win, and found myself riveted to today's Ladies Final: a real game of two halves, Deta Hedman cruising to victory because her finishing was superb, but then she fell apart, Ashton improved her previously poor finishes, and from being one leg away from defeat, Lisa won the final set 3-1

And she's from Lancashire, too
