World Seniors Darts Championship

Sad to see Jenkins without the tache :-(

Kingp35

Terry Jenkins looked good. 85 average despite some missed doubles. I would love if he could win this!

Deeper Blue

Watching this makes you appreciate how slick the Sky production is.

In saying that I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Standard is decent. Just shows how the class doesn't leave some of the players, Painter is looking good here.

PsychoPete

Watching it on BT, it looks better tonight

Kingp35

Painter looked class. Really good darts and he could push Taylor in the quarters.

Feed just gone down on Virgin

Said I'd give it 10/ 15 minutes........now I'm hooked.....very enjoyable

Deeper Blue

I like the way the averages are displayed on screen the whole time, it's a nice addition

Is Howson the kirk sheppard of this tournament? 😁

paddythere

Warriner should never be allowed to commentate on darts again after that performance😂. I would have thrashed him myself

Ginger83

Adams 136 finish 150 and now 157.Brilliant

callaway92

Adams really good since start of 2nd set onwards

Dillonb3

153 to win it for Adams

Ginger83

Martin Adams take a bow

Deeper Blue

Some display of finishing from Adams

Deeper Blue

Bobby George and Ray Stubbs look like they went clothes shopping in Penneys on the way to the studio and threw them straight on before going on air.

Deeper Blue

Very surprised that Manley is younger than Taylor, assumed he was 5 years older at least

That was incredible from Adams. Class act.

Brilliant to have Ray Stubbs on board for this. One of the great darts presenters.

Kingp35

Taylor very poor so far. I'm surprised.

callaway92

Awful here - have a feeling that Taylor A) no motivation but more importantly B) will raise standards against a better opponent

Still like Manley’s throw - always enjoyed it

It is great Craic though.......... Bobby George with half the stock out of cash converters on his wrist/ fingers.

callaway92

Martin Adams won’t mind who wins this Deller vs Butler match. Both poor although Deller had a few good clutch doubles

Mr. Guappa

Imagine the state of the board if Deller was playing Simon Whitlock!

callaway92

Taylor continuing yesterday’s poor form so far. Painter well on his way

Kingp35

Oh how I love watching Taylor lose darts matches!

Deeper Blue

Missed the game tonight but thought Taylor looked dreadful against Manley yesterday. Delighted for Painter

Yep.......its more of a case of 'lack of' Power Taylor nowadays ....buy hey, what a fantastic career....brilliant player. With these seniors tournament ( in golf, snooker, darts, tennis) you can't expect the 'numbers' to be anywhere near the same as these guys had in the 80s & 90's

Kingp35

Doesn't anyone else think Taylor will just pack it in and not bother playing the other tournaments? I doubt he wants to show up and get beaten by players he used to hammer.

Unless he intends to practice like mad.

You could see the improvement in Taylor from the Manley game and his average was creeping up through the Painter game. He went from 70s to mid 80s and was on the rise. I’ve no doubt he’ll start practicing now and he’ll be back with a view to winning this next year and a few others along the way. There’s been a clear advantage to the players who kept playing competitive darts for the most part.

I can see the standard rising pretty rapidly, especially if it’s open to more qualifiers. The money seems half decent and the limited number of events will probably appeal to a lot of players winding down on the PDC tour where the intensity and travel demands are huge now.

Apparently, he does intend to practice like mad - and has just had a new board delivered to his house...
