Lakeside 2012 Christian Kist is The BDO Darts World Champion
Posted on January 15th, 2012
Mens Final Result
Congratulations to the new 2012 Lakeside World Champion Christian Kist, the trophy heads back to Holland for the first time since Jelle Klaasen won the event in 2006.
At 6-2 ahead the Dutchman looked to be cruising to victory, however O’Shea drew on 11 years of Lakeside experience, going for broke he clawed it back to 4-6 to make a game of it, and Kist something to think about.
And perhaps he did, Kist proceeded to miss both doubles and big numbers allowing the Silverback to take the eleventh set without reply, including a brilliant 116 checkout under pressure in the third leg.
The 25 year old debutant hit back though in the twelth and final set, reeling of 2 quick legs and eventually taking out double 16 for the match, the £100k cheque, trophy and title of Lakeside 2012 Champion.
First to 7 Sets,
Tony O’Shea 5 v 7 Christian Kist

Evening Session:
Ted Hankey 3 v 2 Clive Bardon
Wesley Harms 3 v 1 Martin Phillips
Walton v Atkins
Martin “The Assassin” Atkins produced a giant-killing display in the all-Yorkshire clash to gun down former world champ John Walton 3-1.
It took Leeds-based Atkins 44-minutes to bid seventh seed John Boy “good night” as he fired out his title intentions with an eye-catching 132 checkout.
And it was all the more remarkable because the former world title winner from Sheffield stole the opening set against the throw.
There was intense interest in the all-northern encounter with former Yorkshire favourite Dennis “Bimbo” Hickling who appeared in the world championships back in the 1990s among those in capacity crowd.
Walton signalled his intentions hitting a maximum as he stole the throwing advantage in the opening set. He took the next and then blasted in a 97 checkout, finished on double 10, wrapping up the set in a speedy eight minutes.
All four opening legs of the second set went against the throw after both players misses 100 plus checkouts, Atkins levelling the match on double four, with his fourth attempt at a double after the former world champ missed bull for an 88 checkout and a 2-0 match lead.
The players traded the opening legs in the third set, Walton clinching double 18 against the throw to edge 2-1 in front but then fluffed double tops for a set-winning 100 finish, Atkins, who had hammered in a maximum, exited on 69, finished on double 18 to level the set. Despite a brace of 140s from John Boy, the Assassin hit his 72 checkout, gunning down the double 18 target with a single dart.
The opening legs of the fourth set went against the throw, Walton hitting his third 180 of the match in the next as he finished on 64, Atkins replying with a 13-darter. The Assassin had a place in the next round in his sights as he gunned down Walton, firing out a 180 and 140 followed with a superlative 132 victory checkout, finished on double 18.
van de Wiel v Prins
Flying Dutchman Willy van de Wiel charged into the second round, sweeping aside former warhouseman Dave Prins 3-0 in a rapid 37 minutes.
It was clinical display from the 29-year-old 10th seed from southern Holland, who reaches the second round for the third time.
The Dutch carpenter nailed his intentions in the opening sets, annexing six of the opening seven legs as Peterlee’s Prins screwed his face in agony, suffering his third consecutive opening round dismissal.
The Dutch ace, wearing glasses for the first time in the world championship, stamped his authority right from the off in the opening set with a clinical 3-0 success, Prins struggling to settle in his third appearance on the Frimley Green stage with a new set of 26 gram darts.
Prins powered into the second set to take the opening leg with the throw on double 18, the Dutchman taking the next two and then opening up a 2-0 match lead after Prins failed to pressurise Van de Wiel.
There was more of the same in the third set as Van de Wiel, with the throwing advantage took a 2-1 lead and then booked his passage in the second round with a 54 checkout, completed on double 16.
Afterwards the delighted Dutchman said: “Dave can play much better than that but the first round is always difficult.”
And the 10th seed said that when he feels good on stage his play speeds up.
“My hand shakes when I play so I try to throw quickly. I feel good when I am throwing fast.”
Waites v Boulton
Joint favourite Scott Waites called the tune, despatching karaoke-loving Andy Boulton in an absorbing 42 minute encounter 3-1.
After a storming start to the match, the Yorkshireman had to dig deep after the man nicknamed X-Factor threatened to spoil the script but felt the full wrath of the man nicknamed “Scotty to Hotty.”
The 2011 World Master narrowly missed taking the opening leg of the match against the throw when he wired bull for a show-stopping 123 finish. He then levelled and followed up with eye-catching 106 and 116 checkouts to steamroller to a 3-1 opening set success.
As he romped to his third successive leg he blasted in the week’s biggest checkout – 156 finished on double 16 to annex the opening leg of the second set. The following two were swapped but Boulton missed double 11 for a set-winning 142 checkout, as Waites powered in a 180 and 72 finish completed on double tops. The deciding fifth leg was a hard fought affair but Boulton blasted in a 64 checkout to level the match.
Waites opened up a 2-1 lead in the third set but then missed two attempts for double 16 for the set, with Boulton needing 139. After hitting a perfect treble 20, he followed up with treble 19 and looking on in disbelief as his third dart narrowly missed a set saving double 11. Waites grateful of a second chance fired in double 18 with his second dart.
The Halifax player eased into a 2-0 lead in the fourth set including a 134 checkout finished with double 16 but then missed two shots at his favourite double 18 and a brace for double four to win the match, Boulton nipping in to clinch 65 on double four.
Leaving himself 140, Waites hit two 60s but then wired double 10, Boulton powerless to respond as the Yorkshireman returned, needing all three darts to cross the line with a match-winning double 10.
Jennings v Thompson
Sparkling debutant Paul Jennings tamed Garry “The Cougar” Thompson into a 3-1 submission to win through their first round clash.
But the 12th seed from Hartlepool was made to work for his victory in the 40-minute gripper by the never-say-die West Yorkshireman.
The newcomer made a dramatic start to his Lakeside debut hitting bull for an opening set winning 81 checkout, unchallenged by Thompson who has twice reached the last eight.
Showing no trace of first night nerves in his Frimley Green bow, Jennings surged 2-0 ahead, taming the man known as the Cougar, who scrambled to the next two legs, after impressive Jennings missed double 18 for a 147 set winner. In the deciding fifth leg Jenno fired out a maximum as he eased into a shock 2-0 match lead.
But Thompson is a scrapper and blitzed through the third set unchallenged, clinching it with an 81 checkout, finished on double 18, to tee up his 47th birthday celebrations tomorrow (Monday).
Double eight gave Jenno a 2-0 fourth set lead only to see the gritty Silsden man claw his way back taking the third leg on double tops and then firing out a 180 as he clinched the fourth leg on double five to take it into a deciding leg.
Thompson was favourite for the leg after hitting a maximum, Jennings sweeping back with 174 but then missing an astonishing six match-winning doubles before scrambling home on double four after Thomson himself had missed doubles to keep his tournament hopes alive.
“I’ve waited 15 years to play at Lakeside,” said a beaming Jennings after his win, spoiling Thompson’s birthday plans!
Hankey v Bardon
Former double winner Ted “The Count” Hankey eased into the last 16 after burying impressive debutant Clive Barden 3-2 remaining cool in soaring temperatures on stage.
Losing a 2-0 lead the Shropshire-based 15th seed had to dig deep as the match was taken to a nailbiting fifth set.
Hankey used his experience to overcome dangerous Barden, deliberately trying to slow the quick-throwing 33-year-old but the Lakeside newcomer took it all in his stride.
Bullying his opponent, Hankey fired out a maximum as he annexed the opening set unchallenged against the throw, his power throwing giving him the luxury of having time to miss doubles.
The Count missed double tops for a 120 checkout in the opening leg of the second as Barden exited on double four, both players hitting 180s as legs were traded, the 15th seed missing the chance to take the set after fluffing an attempt for double 20. In the deciding fifth, Hankey nailed his title intentions on the match, producing a superb 120 finish, completed on double tops.
Despite missing doubles Hankey stole the opening leg of the third set against the throw but Hot Dog leapt in to grab the next with a 97 checkout, finished on double 12, adding the next with a 51 checkout, The Count pouncing to take the fourth witha 145 finish. But despite a 140 from Hankey it was Barden who produced the goods, snatching the set with double 16.
And he piled on the pressure in the opening leg of the fourth, producing the tournament’s highest checkout of 160 to stun The Count, who needed three double attempts to level in the next. Barden annexed the next for a 2-1 set lead, holding his nerve to level the match on double five.
The former world champ hit double 18 against the throw to open the deciding fifth set, followed up taking the second and then clinched victory with a two dart 85 checkout finished on double tops after newcomer Barden missed.
Afterwards confident a profusely sweating Hankey who said the temperature on stage was the hottest he had known, said he knew Clive Barden was a dangerous opponent.
“He has been up there in all the tournaments he has played during the past 12 months. I did not want to come off stage after two sets for the break. He went loony afterwards scoring well and hitting doubles.
“However once I got the opening leg of the fifth set I knew I could win and I believe I can win this week, My next match againt Scott will be tough, he is a brilliant player but I have just got to go out and play darts,” said Hankey.
Harms v Phillips
“Sparky” the Dutch electrician short-circuited the hopes of the experienced Dolgellau double semi finalist, punishing him for countless missed doubles.
Harms from north Holland produced a performance which betrayed his youthful 27 years against Wales’ most capped international.
Sparky charged into the match annexing six of the opening seven legs, including taking the throwing advantage away from Phillips in the opening set.
The man from the Principality took the deciding fifth leg of the third set to begin his comeback and despite losing the opening leg of the fourth set he took the second and third legs.
Harms levelled the set but Phillips who had consistently missed doubles failed to peg double 10 in the deciding fifth leg to save his tournament hopes as the talented Dutchman hit double one to move into the second round.
