Was O Connor the last Irish (Republic of Ireland) player left ?

Teehan and Lennon are yet to start.

Deciding set and Willie has the darts!

Kingp35

Brilliant fight back. Come on Willie!

TheChrisD

That missed 112 is going to be the game-changer isn't it

EDIT: Yep...

peteeeed

balls , it was there for him , yet again , unlucky

ThebitterLemon

Willie as usual not consistent enough.

Great fight back to get back in the match but fell apart in the final set. Had his chances. I think a bit of sports psychology could really help his game.

Good opening set there from Krcmar similar average to when he lost narrowly to Michael Smith recently

PTH2009

Quite an odd lineup tonight with no 'big' star in the lineup. I suppose J DS is no normal joe soap

Missed the pre-match and post-match interviews about Jamie Lewis and can only find online that he had many "problems" and developed "bad habits". Anyone know anymore about what he went through? Was just curious.

In any case it was an exceptional comeback and great to see him get the win. Although I did feel a bit for Woodhouse also. He was bordering on Rob Thornton levels of frustration with himself there.

Some tension between Meulenkamp and Krcmar

Edit: Krcmar looks like he's having some panic attack on stage.

Deeper Blue

Meulenkamp seems like a sound lad

Nothing against Woodhouse, but delighted for Lewis
Saw him in one of the Euro tour events a few months ago and think he barely managed 70 AVE and was beaten 6-0, looked like a lad battling some demons

Wasn't he a semi finalist here a few short years ago?

He actually only averaged 57. He was suffering with extreme anxiety. Delighted he won.

Brilliant 148 checkout from Lauby to level this match. The pace is great to watch.

Deeper Blue

I could watch these two play all night

Think the wrong crowd noise was played there just before Lauby's second last dart at double. Think it could have put him off.

Dillonb3

Unlucky Lauby, hope he gets a tour card in January. Very Entertaining to watch

boomdocker

Great stuff
Good player Ryan Searle

ThebitterLemon

Really like Ryan Serle, no dramas, decent player, gracious when he loses and seems to be an all round sound lad. Delighted he won but he might want to consider some specs!!!!

Very harsh that, completely ruined his rythm.

Really enjoyable game. Lauby a very good player. In with a real chance of getting a card.

bassy

I didn't realise the crowd noise was there in person for the darts players, thought it was just for viewers at home.


Wonder if they'd prefer no noise

My heart bleeds for him, making all that money and giving out about the noise

ThebitterLemon

Decent of DeSousa acknowledging Smiths 138 check out. You don’t see much of that anymore

I think i read earlier in the year that players were generally in favour of it.

Reckon it might be even more offputting than alive crowd when the "wrong" noise is played.

Brilliant game of darts high quality fast paced played between two very talented sporting characters no whinging no moaning no excuses great stuff.

Kingp35

A terrible watch but Mansell played well there with a near 94 average. Puha was rubbish, didn't win a leg and averaged 79.

I'm not expecting much better from Chinese qualifier Liu in the next one.
