Great match this between Mitchell and Williams. You watching @el_dazza

I was asleep by then

Williams has been impressive so far but I think he'll find Durrant a step too far.

I sent this text to my dad pre-tournament:

Next up they've got that Suzuki i've tipped to win the women's title. She's 14/1 but 7/2 just to win this game. If she does she'll walk it.

My god, how right I was. Why on earth didn't I put any money on her

Worst 9 darter attempt in history?

el_dazza · 13 Jan 2019 at 17:28

Durrant looking good to win the first set.

el_dazza · 13 Jan 2019 at 18:25

3-3, turning out to be rather close this.

el_dazza · 13 Jan 2019 at 18:54

Anyone else actually watching this? Durrant leads 4-3 with a chance for 5-3

Don't forget the trebles are bigger in the PDC too so scoring is a little easier.

Durrant loses in last 128 again.

Now that does surprise me. That's just not good enough.

A mate of mine used to play on the PDC youth tour, averaged around 90-93 he said and found it very tough going. Played Dimitri van den Bergh once at Q school and battered 4-0. He said Dimitri was blind drunk as well

Some recognisable names seriously struggling with Q school. Andy Hamilton, Jamie Caven, Stuart Kellett, Andy Jenkins (remember him?!), Diogo Portela, Scott Waites all outside the top 100 of the 300+ that entered.

As it stands the tour cards are going to:

Carl Wilkinson
Jonathan Worsley
Barrie Bates
Adrian Gray (was this the guy that beat Taylor in the Grand Prix years ago?)
Andy Boulton
Jamie Bain
Callan Rydz
Glen Durrant
Matt Padgett
Conan Whitehead
Cameron Menzies

Could all change mind you.

Gary Anderson's pulled out altogether with his back problems. I reckon Whitlock will be asked to step in now.

I was just there live. Some hostility at Wade and Price, but a good night. Lower quality than last year though.

Dobey did well!

Barney's retired immediately following his thrashing by MVG. He's been on the decline for years sadly, but he'll be remembered as one of the greats.
