Anyhow, Anderson now sitting as 5th favourite to lift the title at 9/1.

I should have had a flutter at the start. :(

Anderson, after a very poor start, wins 4-1.

Ended up averaging a smidgen under 100, pretty decent after the first set of 87.

Next up MVG v Bunting, could be a cracker.

An absolute thrashing, MVG 4-0 Bunting.

Too good, Bunting cracked under pressure. :happyclapper

Smith v Dobey up next, I can see an upset. :wink:

Anderson v Dolan first up tonight. 

I'll be home by then so I'll settle down and watch Anderson while I keep one eye :1eye on Dolans wife. :wink:

Anderson oot.

Pish poor, especially at the start.

Next up Barney v a 16 year old

Just watched the game of the tournament. 

Dobey was 4-0 up in set in a race to 5 against Robb Cross.

Cross, unbelievably, comes back and wins 5-4.

Darts, brilliant drama.

Next up, the schoolboy v Dolan.

 

Littler scooshes it 5-1. 

That's him into the semi final. 👏👏👏

This boy is certainly living up to the hype.

Quite unbelievable. :happyclapper

Littler plays the pre tournament favourite Humphries tonight.

I've no doubt he can win it as he was put under pressure last night from Cross and continued to score well and pull out the big finishes.

If he was to win it, you think it would be as big as Becker winning his 1st Wimbledon title?

Good question.

Certainly in the same bracket.

Not sure if it could be seen as a bigger achievement with more players playing at a higher level than in bygone years but not really that important. 

Although looking at him there might be some debate about his age. 🤣

Put this on after a wee day out at the game yesterday :guinness they say you should never gamble when boozing so I really should cash this out if I had any sense. But if I had any I wouldn't gamble in the first place.. so I'm doing the next best thing covering my stake.. as the wee fella is some player

Well, the youngster was all over the place for a set and a half, THEN he found his range, winning the set 3-2 with a 142 and 120 finishes.

Game on. 

Humphries, deservedly, wins 7-4.

Held his nerve, nicked all the tight games/sets.

What a 3 months he's had, winning 4 major titles. :happyclapper

The new world number one.

Now the discussion is should Littler get an invitation to the Premier League darts money making tournament.

Certainly be of interest but it could all go wrong.

Personally I'm in favour, could really harden him up and see him fulfil the potential.

Well, the draw of the 16 year old sensation has proved too strong to resist as he's IN the Premier League extravaganza.

I hope it makes him stronger and he can compete with the big boys on a weekly basis.

The worst that can happen is he gets pumped almost every week and makes even more money.

Oh, his 21 year old girlfriend will be happy.
