Fantastic on her doubles and enormous bottle when the pressure was on.
Thoroughly deserved to win.

Sherlock was superb against Suljovic, hes as annoying as hell how he plays.
I had a 5er on Sherrock 3-1 + 3-2 @ 16s ?
The crowd booing Suljovic is bang out of order imo.

The crowd booing is not ideal but has always been a part of the sport.
Eric Bristow always replied any time he was asked that his favourite matches were playing Jocky Wilson in Scotland. The crowd always gave him pelters and he loved it, and he won more than he lost, even against Jocky.

Watched the last 10 minutes in the pub, get in there ?
This Lewis v Webster game is unbelievable. Match of the tournament so far and played in great spirit too

The Fallon story is over. Chris Dobey played superbly, ton+ average despite having real struggles on the doubles early on. Fair play to Fallon though, her finishing is unreal, took out so many pressure ton+ finishes and two darters, very very impressive. Great game, played at a lovely pace. Looking forward to Durant-Dobey in the next round, should be a fun game.

Dobey played really well especially losing the first set against the darts. Great scoring and in the end a deserved win. Really enjoyed how well Fallon has played in the worlds especially beating a top player and hope she gets more opportunities to battle the men

Prize money has been cut in half down to £8k for the ladies, £150k for the men. Sherrock has already pulled out after being given a spot in the World Series (as well as a spot as one of the Challengers in the PL), imagine she won't be the only one to pull out.
So pleased for Peter Wright. Played absolutely superbly last night backing up his excellent performance against Price. MvG missed some massive darts, couldn't believe he missed 6 at a double in one leg, not like him at all. Excited for the Premier League to start, going to follow it properly this year and have tickets to go and watch the Manchester week, should be good fun. Fantastic World Championships this year, enjoyed every match I watched, the standard was superb, great entertainment as always.

Just seen the painted geezer on the news without the war paint on.... apparently that's a stage persona for when he plays darts! I am sort of relieved to see that!

Not sure how long the BDO can really carry on with limited prize money, lack of exposure etc. The trouble is not everyone can play the PDC and where does it leave lower league darts such as superleague and county events. Darts like all sports needs grass roots participation, especially with more and more pubs no longer having a board or closing down

Why have they moved away from the Lakeside? That was the tournament's USP.

They'd be better off running it as an amateur organisation, the best of amateur darts. For all intents and purposes they have lost the battle with the PDC regarding professional darts. The Lakeside World Champs with its TV coverage was the last stand. Now they have moved away from one and lost most of the other they may as well change it to the World Amateur Championship.

I think the press guff said something about taking it to a London venue to enable the event to grow.
The alternative view is the BDO are yet another organisation not fit for purpose lol
