Me thinks a lot of close games tonight. First game especially could go either way. I know Searle's uncle, Barry, and he thinks Ryan will lead then chuck it all away and lose, like at the worlds. Both heavy scorers but can be incosistent and poor on doubles at times.

[devosteve]

I think viewing figures will drop at 8 with ITV4 reminding us about the football at 8 on itv1.

And see I am an Arsenal fan from the 1971 final (good old Charlie George) I think I will be switching.

Some good games tonight.

Searle 3 nil up
Barry has got the 1st bit right.

[devosteve]

Searle 5-3 but chizzy had a dart for 4-4. Let's see if Barry gets the 2nd bit wrong.

[devosteve]

Chizzy on 136 scores 7!

[devosteve]

5 missed darts for the match for Searle.

Chizzy makes it 5-5.

[ChrisW]

Uncle Barry on the button.

[devosteve]

Uncle Barry (not THE uncle Barry) gets it spot on!

Chizzy wins with a 161 c/o.

A good game. The place is sold out!

[ChrisW]

Amazing finish from Chizzy.

[Smithy1412]

Baz was right. I hope he bet on Searle throwing it away as if he did his nephew will have earned him a few bob!

[devosteve]

Aspinal playing superb after being 4-0 down. Bunting will be gutted if he loses this.

[Little Lonely Garry]

Bunting wins. He was sweating a bit there.

[ChrisW]

Pulled out the darts in the last leg. Asp crumbled.

[Black Velvet]

Bunting wins. He was sweating a bit there.

Thanks.

[Smithy1412]

Darts is on ITV4 afternoon and ITV3 in evening due to Reading vs Man United

[Case]

10-6 bunting?

[devosteve]

9-9!
