Cash Converters World Cup of Darts Day 2 Afternoon Results
Posted on February 5th, 2012
ENGLAND and South Africa both won sudden-death legs to win through to the quarter-finals of the Cash Converters World Cup of Darts on Saturday afternoon at Hamburg’s Alsterdorfer Stadthalle.
The English pair of Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis made amends for their defeats to Ken MacNeil and John Part respectively in Friday night’s Singles games with a 5-3 win over Canada in their Doubles contest.
That meant the tie was drawn 2-2 to force a sudden-death leg, which Lewis won on double four to put England into the last eight.
“It was a difficult game and we’re relieved to be through after what happened on Friday night,” admitted Lewis. “I probably felt a bit more pressure putting the England shirt on but I’m loving it!”
Taylor admitted: “Last night was disappointing but we’re trying our socks off and really want to win this title, as do everyone else in the last eight.
“People wouldn’t have expected South Africa to beat Scotland but this shows what it means to the players representing their country. Adrian and I can feel the pressure and it’s nerve-wracking, but great fun.”
The South African pairing of Devon Petersen and Shawn Hogan performed brilliantly to overturn a 2-0 deficit in their tie with Scotland and a 3-1 scoreline during the Doubles contest with Gary Anderson and Peter Wright. Read the rest of this entry »

Cash Converters World Cup of Darts Day 1 Evening Results
Posted on February 4th, 2012
PRE-TOURNAMENT favourites England are on the brink of crashing out of the Cash Converters World Cup of Darts after Canada’s Ken MacNeil and John Part defeated Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis in their Singles games on Friday night.
Taylor went down 4-3 to MacNeil, giving him echoes of a defeat in the second round of the 2010 World Cup of Darts to Spain when he was partnered by James Wade.
Double World Champion Lewis has taken Wade’s place in the England team in this event, but was unable to take victory in his own Singles clash with Part, who took out a brilliant 140 finish to win their game in a deciding leg.
The results mean that Taylor and Lewis must now win Saturday afternoon’s Doubles game between the nations to force a sudden-death leg at the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg.
Reigning champions Netherlands, meanwhile, face a winner-takes-all Doubles clash with Austria on Saturday after Raymond van Barneveld and Mensur Suljovic picked up respective wins for their countries. Read the rest of this entry »

Ones to Watch in 2012, by The Suit
Posted on January 18th, 2012
Well with the World Championships over and preparations under way for the 2012 PDC season, and Q School for newcomers, we at Let’s Play Knockout Darts thought it is perhaps the ideal time to have look at a few players to watch out for in 2012.
There will be many questions asked and answered over the next 12 months or so, will Kim Huybrechts and Dave Chiznall keep up their superb starts to life in the PDC? Who from the 2010/2011 entries will kick on like Justin Pipe has done from the 2009 intake? Which youth player will step up to senior level without delay, who from the Q school will make an impact and who will be the surprise package in 2012? Lets see if we can have a look at the likely candidates and answer a few of those queries……
Ian `Diamond’ White
The Diamond could be very impressive in 2012, after all it is the Queens Diamond Jubilee!, this will be the first year when Ian is able to play darts and relax and his ability should shine through. His late start in 2010 and a highly pressured year last year, with the usual financial worries and additional health and other distractions, meant that only in the final quarter last year ( & in the UK Open qualifiers) have the true skills of Ian been on display. He has a superb talent that we see close up week in week out and it cannot be hidden for much longer! Read the rest of this entry »

New World Order – The Winners and Losers from the World Championships
Posted on January 5th, 2012
As the PDC board select the competitors for this year’s Premier League, the fallout from the sensational 2012 World Championships is complete and whilst some will still be celebrating, others will be looking back at the tournament with nothing but regret.
The Winners
Andy Hamilton
Coming into the competition as a 200/1 outsider may have been a little harsh on a player as consistent as the Hammer, but considering he was in the same quarter as Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld next to no one gave him a chance of improving on his previous best performance of the semi-finals. However, Hamilton proved all the doubters wrong and battled his way to the final of the competition. This is reward alone, but throw a cheque for £100,000 and a subsequent place in the Premier League into the equation and you are left with a very happy Hammer.
Dave Chisnall
Chizzy Rascal may not have reached the latter stages of the tournament, but he did something that has truly put him on the darting map – beat Phil Taylor. Chisnall’s debut in the PDC World Championships couldn’t have dealt him a tougher second round draw but he prevailed with a resounding 4-1 victory and became the first man to turn off the Power at such an early stage since Kevin Spiolek in 1993. Crucially, the £15,000 he picked up also took him into the coveted top 32 for the first time. Read the rest of this entry »

The Class of 2010 Part 1, by Callum Harris
Posted on January 2nd, 2012
By Callum Harris
Part 1 – The Class of 2010
For some time now it has seemed to me that the 2010 intake of new PDPA members was something rather special. I can be accused of bias, due to one of that intake being my friend, Mark ‘Mile High’ Hylton, but a look at the tale behind the scenes will confirm that this was a special moment for professional darts.
As we come to the end of their second season it seems an appropriate time to review the story of `The Boys of 2010’.
In the Birmingham area in late 2009 a remarkable coincidence took place; in an area of the city a new darting venture under the banner `This is Darts’ was looking for players to support its effort to create a new darts brand.
The players selected were chosen by one of their number, Ian McFarlane, and included the strongest and most consistent local performers in what was a hotbed of quality amateur competition.
Recommended were Nigel Heydon, Tony Randall, Trevor Frost, Mark Hylton, and, a little later, Scott Rand. All except Mark Hylton were given the opportunity to play PDC darts that year by the `This is Darts’ initiative.
On the other side of the city an amateur player/enthusiast had been watching Mark Hylton for a year whilst also studying what it would take to succeed in the PDC. Following an initial discussion it was decided he would become Hylton’s manager rather than supporter.
And so, the Birmingham branch of the 2010 intake was formed, consisting of players based in Staffordshire and Leamington Spa as well as the second city itself.
Forty miles away another player was deciding to make the leap from rising BDO star to PDC newcomer. Telford’s Steve Farmer made the tough decision to leave his comfort zone and cross into what some describe as the shark pool of PDC organised tour events.
Despite being well known as a quality thrower Steve had not won a significant BDO event nor had consistent business end results. However showing great courage in backing himself Steve joined the class of 2010 with many people quietly thinking that he could do well.
Meanwhile in Stoke-on-Trent a forgotten man was weighing up a big move from BDO to PDC. Despite a couple of outstanding seasons in the BDO, with several tournament wins, as well as pairs triumphs, the frustration of an early exit from the Lakeside Championship had seen him start 2010 still a BDO player.
With the support of a number of illustrious PDC names, and a determination to make darts his living, Ian ‘Diamond’ White finally made the decision to join the PDC and attempt to become one of a select few to play both World Championships in a calendar year.
With three months of the season already gone, our final member of the Class of 2010 would be playing catch up from the start.
As the UK contingent of the class of 2010 prepared for their debut events in Gibraltar another equally remarkable assault was being planned on the holiday isle of Mallorca. 32 year old Antonio Alcinas, a relatively unknown Spaniard who’s best result was reaching the last 64 of the 2005 Winmau World Masters, was preparing for his entry into the fray.
In 2009 ‘El Dartador’ had discovered a renewed passion for the game and the belief that he could make an impact on the big stage. The vagaries of the PDC system meant that his European passport gave him the irresistible opportunity and winning the Spanish National title filled Alcinas with confidence.
This confidence was borne out later,with a run to the semi finals of the PDC World Cup that included a victory over Gary Anderson inspired Scotland and only ended at the hands of eventual winners, Holland. Antonio Alcinas had arrived.
So there we have it, the new intake that would play with intent over that year: Heydon, Hylton, Farmer, Rand and White, with Alcinas representing Europe. How would they fare?
Part 2 of Callum’s article will be published shortly……..

Ally Pally Day 11 – Evening Session Round-up
Posted on December 29th, 2011
REIGNING Ladbrokes World Darts Champion Adrian Lewis and Terry Jenkins won through to the quarter-finals of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship on Wednesday night.
Lewis followed up his previous wins over Nigel Heydon and Robert Thornton with a clinical display to see off Wayne Jones in straight sets at London’s Alexandra Palace.
The Stoke superstar hit 12 from 18 attempts at doubles during the win and dropped only four legs against Jones as he remains on course to become only the second player, after Phil Taylor, to retain the PDC World Championship title.
“I’m happy with that,” said Lewis. “Every time I was under the cosh I produced the goods and I can’t ask for any more than that.
“My finishing was brilliant and as long as that’s consistent I know I can pull out the scores when I have to. I’m really hungry to keep this title and I can keep improving.
“I’ve got a day off to regroup, have a practice and come back on Friday to push on towards the title. My mind’s strong, my throwing’s good, my finishing is excellent and I can go up there and just enjoy it now.” Read the rest of this entry »

Ally Pally Day 7 – The Conclusion of Round 1
Posted on December 22nd, 2011
SIMON WHITLOCK made a stunning return from a broken ankle by storming to a 3-0 win over Dennis Smith at the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship on Wednesday – hitting a 105 average in an amazing display.
The Australian has not competed since the end of October, when he broke a bone in his left ankle, and was still limping as he took to the Alexandra Palace stage.
However, he hit seven 180s and dropped only one leg in defeating Swindon’s experienced Smith, who could only applaud Whitlock’s brilliant performance as he was knocked out of the £1 million tournament.
Whitlock, the 2010 runner-up, will now take on Steve Beaton in the second round after Christmas – with the English star also having undergone minor knee surgery this week – after firing a warning shot to the rest of the field in the World Championship.
“I’m shocked to be honest because my preparation for this has been awful,” said Whitlock. “A week ago I couldn’t hit three 20s in a row and I’ve only really had one week’s practice in the last seven. Read the rest of this entry »

Ally Pally Day 3 – Evening Session Results
Posted on December 18th, 2011
PAUL NICHOLSON overcame Austrian Mensur Suljovic 3-1 to win through to the second round of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship, but veteran star Denis Ovens was forced to withdraw through injury.
Nicholson, the number nine seed at Alexandra Palace, had to show his class to see off a determined showing from Suljovic, who reached the last 16 a year ago.
Nicholson took out 110 in winning the first set before a 121 checkout saw Suljovic take the second 302, but Nicholson won the third before coming from 2-1 down in the fourth to secure progression.
“It was a real struggle and something didn’t click for me, but the main thing was that I won,” said Nicholson.
“Something is about to happen with my game and I’m starting to find it. It was a gritty game and I was happy to get through.”
There was drama in the night’s final game, when UK Open semi-finalist Denis Ovens withdrew through injury a set into his game with German debutant Kevin Munch.
Ovens had suffered a trapped nerve in his back which caused shooting pains in his throwing arm, and after losing the opening three legs without earning a dart at a double the 54-year-old pulled out.
“I didn’t want to give up but there was too much pain when I was throwing,” admitted Ovens. “I was in bed for two days after injuring my back.
“It’s gone before because I work in building, and I thought it was getting better but on Saturday I had shooting pains down my right arm.”
Earlier, Steve Beaton came from two sets down to defeat Sweden’s Magnus Caris in a fifth-set tie-break to earn his spot in the second round.
The former Lakeside Champion won only two legs as Caris took the first two sets and moved 2-1 up in the third, only to miss three match darts in the set’s deciding leg.
Beaton won the set and then took the fourth without reply to level the game, only to see Caris move 2-1 up in the decider.
However, double 16 kept Beaton in the game and he took out 100 and 61 in the next two to complete a remarkable turnaround.
Holland’s Vincent van der Voort turned on the style by hitting 11 180s in a 3-2 defeat of Mark Hylton, the left-hander who twice hit back to level the game only to see last year’s quarter-finalist take the deciding set without reply.
The second round continues on Sunday evening with four further first round games and the preliminary round contest between Ireland’s Connie Finnan and New Zealand number one Warren French.
Five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld enters the fray when he takes on Northamptonshire-based debutant James Richardson, while Mark Dudbridge plays Dave Chisnall, World Grand Prix finalist Brendan Dolan meets Belgian Kim Huybrechts and Mark Walsh plays the preliminary round winner.

STEVE BEATON 3-2 MAGNUS CARIS
(0-3, 1-3, 3-2, 3-0, 4-2)
STEVE BEATON came back from 2-0 down to claim a remarkable first round victory against Magnus Caris at the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship.
Beaton produced an under-par display in the first two sets and looked set for a first round exit at Alexandra Palace for a second consecutive year.
But Caris missed three darts to seal a straight sets victory and Beaton, with enthusiastic support from the Alexandra Palace crowd, won the next two with the aid of eight straight legs to force deciding set, which he won in a tie-breaker.
Caris made a good start to the match by holding throw on double 12 to win the first leg and hit double top after Beaton missed two darts at doubles.
The Swede, making his third successove appearance at Alexandra Palace, then won the set in the third leg with an excellent 107 checkout.
Caris also made a positive start to the second set by breaking throw to win the first leg before hitting double top for the second consecutive leg to put Beaton under immense pressure.
Caris was off-target with five attempts at doubles to win the set in the third leg and Beaton managed to hit double ten to take his first leg of the match.
Caris had the advantage of throw in the fourth leg and he hit double top for the third time in the set to double his lead.
The Swede began the third set with an accomplished 13-dart finish before Beaton landed double nine to win just his second leg of the match.
Both players held throw in the next two legs before a dramatic decider saw Caris miss three darts to win the match and Beaton held his nerve to land double four to keep the match alive.
The start of the fourth set saw opportunities missed by both men to claim the leg before Beaton won it on double four.
The 1996 Lakeside Champion then won his fifth leg in a row by taking out 65 in two darts before hitting double 16 to set up a final-set decider.
Caris won his first leg in nine at the start of the set, with a two-dart 83 finish, before Beaton won the second by taking out 62.
Caris won the third leg to move one away from the match for a second time, after his opponent missed two chances at double 16.
Beaton hit double 16 to level at 2-2 and then took the fifth leg with an excellent 100 finish to break throw.
That proved to be vital as the former World Champion took out 61 to win the sixth leg and end an incredible match.
KEVIN MUNCH 4-2 LEE CHOON PENG
KEVIN MUNCH secured a 4-2 victory over Malaysia’s Lee Choon Peng to set up a first round clash against Denis Ovens later on Saturday evening.
Choon Peng hit double two to win the first leg before the 23-year-old produced a superb 12-dart leg, completed with a 155 checkout, to take the second.
Munch secured a break of throw by hitting double ten to win the third leg and hit the same double in the next to increase his lead to 3-1.
Choon Peng held throw to win the fifth leg before Munch landed double two in the sixth to end the contest.
VINCENT VAN DER VOORT 3-2 MARK HYLTON
(3-1, 2-3, 3-1, 2-3, 3-0)
VINCENT VAN DER VOORT came through A five-set first round thriller at the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship with victory over Mark Hylton.
The Dutchman led the match on two occasions only to be pegged back by his opponent before taking the final set to end Hylton’s hopes of another good run at Alexandra Palace.
“I’ve been struggling for form in the last few events, but the crowd lifted me and I produced some good darts,” said van der Voort, who hit 11 180s in the match.
“The crowd were so supportive towards me and that was a major factor in me coming on top against Mark, who is a quality player.”
Van der Voort hit an 83 finish to win the opening leg of the match before both players registered maximums in the second.
Hylton won it on double top before the Dutchman, who enjoyed an excellent run to the last 16 a year ago, hit a superb 134 checkout to take the third.
The fourth leg saw Hylton guilty of missing three darts at doubles and van der Voort cashed in by landing double eight to win the first set.
Hylton started the second set well by breaking throw with the aid of a maximum and the second also fell the way of the man from Rugeley, after both players missed previous attempts at doubles.
In the third leg, Hylton missed three darts to win the set and van der Voort stepped in to hit double 14 and took the fourth by converting an 80 finish.
Hylton threw first in the deciding leg and managed to land a pressure double six with his last dart to level the match at one set apiece.
Van der Voort held throw at the start of the third set and then hit a 14-dart finish to win the second leg after both players had hit 180s.
Hylton hit double top to win the third, but missed two darts at the bed to take the fourth and that proved expensive as van der Voort took out 75 to win the set and lead for the second time.
Van der Voort hit his ninth maximum of the game at the start of the fourth set, but missed three darts at double top and Hylton hit the same bed to take the leg.
The second leg proved to be role reversal of the first as Hylton missed chances for a 2-0 lead, allowing Van der Voort to level.
Hylton won the third leg with a 13-darter but missed three chances to win the set in the next and Van der Voort took the leg by hitting tops.
The Dutchman hit another maximum in the deciding leg but Hylton won it with an excellent two-dart 72 finish to force a fifth set.
Van der Voort started the decider in confident fashion with a 12-dart finish followed by double eight to establish a 2-0 lead.
The third leg also fell the way of the Dutchman as he hit double top at the first time of asking to seal a place in the second round.
PAUL NICHOLSON 3-1 MENSUR SULJOVIC
(3-1, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2)
PAUL NICHOLSON was made to work hard before seeing off Mensur Suljovic in four sets to seal a place in the last 32 of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.
Suljovic had chances to take the match the full distance, but five missed darts at doubles allowed Nicholson to close out the match and set up a clash against Alan Tabern on December 27.
The match started with Nicholson missing six darts at doubles, but Suljovic missed five chances of his own to claim an early break of throw.
Nicholson won it on double one and then hit an excellent 110 checkout to win the second leg against the darts.
Suljovic won the third with a clinical two-dart 80 finish before Nicholson took the next in 14 darts to claim an early lead.
Nicholson made a winning start to set two by hitting double 16 before Suljovic hit-back to take the second with a two-dart 85 finish.
Nicholson regained the lead by hitting double four but the Austrian pegged back again by taking out 78 in two darts.
Suljovic produced some excellent darts in the deciding leg as he hit a 180, followed by a 121 checkout, completed on the bullseye, to win the set in superb fashion.
The Austrian, who defeated James Wade in last year’s tournament, dominated the opening leg of the third set, but three missed darts at doubles proved costly as Nicholson landed double 16 to break.
Nicholson hit double eight to take the second but missed two chances to wrap up the set in the third leg and Suljovic stepped in on double top.
The number nine seed made no mistake in the fourth leg to win the set and then won the first leg of set four against the darts with a two-dart 88 finish.
Suljovic took the second with an accomplished 108 checkout and then won the third on double ten after Nicholson missed a dart at double 18 for a 144 checkout.
Nicholson won the fourth leg against the throw with an excellent 13-dart finish and won the decider on double top with his third dart after Suljovic missed five darts to force a fifth set.
“It was a real struggle and something didn’t click for me, but the main thing was that I won,” said Nicholson.
“Something is about to happen with my game and I’m starting to find it. It was a gritty game and I was happy to get through.”
KEVIN MUNCH BYE – DENIS OVENS RETIRED THROUGH INJURY
(3-0, Ovens retired following first set)
KEVIN MUNCH received a bye into the second round of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship after Denis Ovens was forced to retire from the match after the first set.
Ovens came into the contest complaining of a trapped nerve in his back and the problem forced him to concede.
The 23-year-old German, making his debut at the World Championship, beat Lee Choon Peng 4-2 in his Preliminary Round game earlier in the evening, to book a clash against Ovens.
He will now face Steve Farmer for a place in the last 16 of the competition after the Telford player defeated Ronnie Baxter earlier in the day.
“I didn’t want to give up but there was too much pain when I was throwing,” admitted Ovens. “I was in bed for two days after injuring my back.
“It’s gone before because I work in building, and I thought it was getting better but on Saturday I had shooting pains down my right arm.”

Both poker and darts are highly popular pursuits. The games are available online, in fact, that there are organizations dedicated to making sure the rules of video poker and online darts are conformed. Similar to darts having the World Darts Federation, among others, and poker has the Tournament Directors Association. These rules are put into place in highly competitive tournaments, in which as many as hundreds or even thousands of people compete for cash prizes as well as prestige.
