2012: Lost first round 0-2 to Kevin Painter
2013: Lost first round 0-2 to Andy Hamilton
2014: Lost first round 0-2 to Terry Jenkins
2015: Beat Benito van de Pas 2-1, lost second round 1-3 to MvG
2016: Beat Ian White 2-1 and Stephen Bunting 3-0, lost quarters 1-3 to Gary Anderson
2017: Lost first round 1-2 to Robert Thornton


Four first round exits and three match wins in six years, that's rather ropey indeed.

Won only 3 games in 6 years, and he's not in great form either. The double out may be new territory for De Zwaan but this is a very winnable game

My memory works occasionally then.
Can't see Evans beating Barney, as much as I'd like him too.

Was it anyone else, I'd fancy Barney going out first round, can't trust Evans in a double in format though. His finishing is terrible as it is.

Definitely a few games here that could spring a surprise or two.
Chizzy v Hopp
Gurney v Hendo
Mensur v Wade
Noppie v Price
As well as JdZ v Kim and MvG v Lennon

I am really looking forward to this..some great match ups this year

Barney has a pretty decent record in Dublin.
Certainly recall two finals against Taylor.

TIN TIN is stuck and going nowhere. I though years ago he would be top 8 /10 by 2018. He fucked it when he tried to be MVG lite. Too much force in his throw after a few legs. The old news of the world was first to 3? The only event he wud have a chance in.

Reckon Beaton could spunk out Cross. He beat him last year in some TV event.

This very one in fact.

Cross was completely caught off guard by the double-start format and lost 2-0.
2020 World Grand Prix Lucky Dip winner!
2x 2019 Q-School Lucky Dip winner!

Both as valuable as the Lakeside piss pot!

If Gary Anderson reachs the Semis it is his title,infact the way he sets out nowadays,that is what he has to do,get to the Semis of the of the big events and they should be his.That said i think this years event is going to be a cracker!!

It's the last major missing from his collection so he must be bang up for it.
Given how fragile mvg is he must start favourite.

The gap is closing but MVG is still much more likely to win it than Ando is

Just wish it was 3 nights instead of 2, these sessions are way too long. Hope I can watch the whole lot though, should be awesome.
