Wow I’ve just read the Rambling blog blog for the first time in ages.

Am I allowed to chuckle but say how utterly brutal and offensive it is? But so offence no one should take it seriously.

Jc has cripplingly low self esteem

To be fair as it stands at the moment someone is going to have to do something rather special over the forthcoming year to stop Des winning this for a ground breaking 52 weeks in a row

Des's name is only going to be a regular because JC can spell it.

Tweet from BDO.

Laura Turner must have guaranteed her place at the Worlds with this final.

Who won the men's final?

Not yet, still behind Jacklin for an automatic place. Certainly makes it interesting tomorrow though!

Veenstra best Harms 6-5 in the final.

Excellent match by Veenstra, played very well

[mik252]

Indeed, ton plus average from him. Probably one of my favourite current players in the BDO, can be entertaining to watch and a nice quick throw.

Didn't know this was called a major event.

Think she is probably a little bit excited. And so she should be.
Last 32 exit for Duzza again.

No report on Darts News about this yet.
But a good report on dartfreakz.nl

I'm surprised Reuters haven't picked it up yet, tbh.

Updated Lakeside qualification

21 Reynolds - 186
22 Whitehead - 183
23 van Egdom - 189
24 Layton - 176
25 Vaes - 175
26 J Thompson - 167
--
27 Janssen - 166 [standby/World Master spot]
--
t28 Newton - 160
t28 A Hamilton - 160
29 Kenny - 157
30 Sparidaans - 156
31 R Edwards - 152

A last 32 for both of them tomorrow would catch Janssen (not entered) and possibly Thompson (pending results of a Cat.C in Australia tomorrow). If both make Last 32 or later and go out same round as each other, Newton will be 1 point ahead of Hamilton.

Hamilton's minimum box is 5. It was 4, but today's Last 16 knocked out the 4 and leaves him with a new minimum box of 5. Hence why if they both make the L32, Newton would be a point ahead of him.

From Burton on Twitter.

With Tricia Wright not entered tomorrow and Laura Turner ranked ahead of Tricia Wright in the WDF rankings, Laura Turner will be in the Lakeside standby/World Masters spot unless Danielle Ashton makes the final tomorrow or Anca Zijlstra wins the title tomorrow.
