He played steady, solid darts all through the event and got his rewards for sheer bloody minded consistency.

RE: Darts
Channel 5 are screening a Champion of Champions event for several afternoon hours tomorrow and Sunday, according to listings. Some sort of veterans event, Phil Taylor listed amongst the players. The snag is that - OH NOES - Ray Stubbs has been dug up to present, with Bobby George there for punditry too.

RE: Darts
Seniors is the term that clearly eluded me yesterday. Martin Adams v Trina Gulliver was the last quarter-final, which maybe says it all. Semis and final tomorrow.

RE: Darts
"Golden" Gates, apparently Rolleyes Well done him.

Otherwise, somewhat underwhelming, like the good old BDO days. I hope Channel 5 are nevertheless encouraged/financially able to show more tournaments.
