PDC World Championship 2013

Treble20

Well done to the qualifier John Bowles,a brilliant victory and a 2nd round game against Gary Anderson to look forward to now as well as £10,000 prize money guaranteed for reaching the 2nd round,a great night over all for Bowles!

Kingp35

Really enjoyed that game. Great stuff from Bowles, delighted he won it.

I'm happy Webster is back throwing good darts and Wade cruised through.

Jayob10

lads haven't caught up on any of the darts yet, has there been any big name exits so far in round one?

cheers

Jarjohn

Bowles has a super throwing action with head and shoulders rock steady. Good to see new faces winning

Off the top of my head the only seeds to go out so far are Wayne Jones, Andy Smith, Denis Ovens and Jamie Caven

It's all here and a quick way to see the draw below,"The Heat" still there and facing Lewis--both off form..

never thought id be saying this but its one of the best matches of the tournament so far.

defo, the one game i saw last night and it was a really good game, it deserved to go to a 5 setter , bowles looks a really good player, caven played quite well but just came up against a guy playing really solid stuff

peteeeed

hope barney hasn't peaked too soon, was awesome in the first round, will be interesting to see how taylor, wade and MVG start , its a very open tournament this year , stamina will possibly be a problem for phil taylor this year

You're right, for some reason I had in my head that Ovens lost but he beat Max Hopp. Looking forward to King v Winstanley tonight.

Should be a good game and was the game along with Baxter v Priestley that stood out for me when I saw the draw.

Max Power

Handy enough win for Steve Beaton there. I've always liked Beaton, hopefully he will do something this year.

markie29

that was a great win for Ilagan...delighted for him,that was his final.

Kingp35

I saw Ilagan play in the BDO ans he is a good player so not surprised he won. He gas to switch a lot more often than he does though!

Good win for Beaton but he needs to brush up on his doubles.

Ronan|Raven

Stand up if ya love the darts... oh STFU...

Kingp35

How did Deano lose that set. Putting himself under pressure

Treble20

Just tuned into the darts now. Glad to see Beaton win. Ilagan is a handy player and if my memory serves me right he reached the Winmau World Masters semi finals a few years ago? Handy win for Newton,King v Winstanley could go the distance,just seen it's 1-1 now.

Treble20

Good recovery there by Winstanley in the 4th set to level the match. I thought his bottle was gone when King went up 2-1 but fair play to him for coming back.

Max Power

Great stuff from Deano!!

KevIRL

Some match this

markie29

great game!

klairondavis

Incredible match. Fair play to Winstanley. Missed plenty of doubles but didn't let it get to him.

Max Power

Ah what a great game that was, brilliant stuff, so many twists and turns. There seems to be great respect between the two players.

Will I Amnt

Delighted for Deano
Great game in the end, wasn't a great standard early doors.

KevIRL

Game of the tournament. Pity one of them had to lose really

Kingp35

That was a classic. The two of them throwing brilliant darts under huge pressure. I thought Deano had bottled on more than occasion but he came back and probably just about deserved it.

I'm delighted he won but credit to King for helping create a great game.

That's why I love darts at Christmas!

Treble20

What a brilliant game! Fair play to Winstanley,I thought he had lost it a number of times but credit due to him he kept battling away and prevailed in the end. Hard luck to Mervyn King,he could have got a lot easier draw than Winstanley in the 1st round!

KevIRL

Great interview with Deano there

Kingp35

Deano really is a top bloke. Very popular

Max Power

It's hard work watching Colin Osborne.

Jarjohn

Even harder watching pipe . My god he knows how to quieten the crowd. They are all asleep

michaelr666

Jenkins looks like he doesn't want to be there at all

Max Power

Jenkins' is muck

Ronan|Raven

Hope Harrington wins, he reminds me of a bloke down the local with the same action who usually beats most of us

Jarjohn

most lads down the local would beat him looking at 1st leg

He would beat Harrington going on that and he is in his 80's!

michaelr666

great seeing Priestley back, remember watching him when I was young. my mum actually met him and I got a set of his flights about 10 years ago. still have them i think.. haha

Baxter on good form early stages

Stevecw

Good stuff so far, great play by Baxter to win a high standard 1st set.

KevIRL

Come on Dennis.

Lelantos

Priestly rolling back the years tonite, prob won't win, but flashes of the old genius.

Kingp35

Disappointed Dennis lost, could be the last time we see him on the tv. He had his chances but didn't take them.

Max Power

What's with the Dennis Priestly love in on Sky? I find him really boring to watch.

Dennis is a legend, fair play to him.



Bit more of a random one but I once played online poker tournament against him, it was like ladbrokes sponsored thing. He was chatting away in the wee chat box. True gent

He used to come to Tralee a lot in the 90's, a very nice bloke who after his exhibition would sit down & have a pint with the lads who played him.

Max Power

Young playing well here, he has a lovely throw. This could go the distance.

Gotya

Come on Lloyd. 1-1

Gotya

2-2

KevIRL

Jaysis Lloyd had dig very deep for that win.

He has a good dig on him in fairness.

KevIRL

Solid start there from Walsh. Last games of the 1st round today,ya?

Kingp35

Yeah tonight is the last of the first rounds. Second round starts tomorrow afternoon. Very annoying because I will be in work!

It's nice to see Darren Webster back on the tv, I remember him from 5 or 6 years ago. He used to be decent enough. Struggling so far tonight though.
