2018 Finder Darts Masters, 7 to 9 December

[Rogg]

It switches to setplay now. I quite like that idea. In fact this whole setup seems wasted on the professionals, but never mind.

Derk Telnekes (5) – Neth – Richard Veenstra (4) – Neth
Mark McGeeney (3) – Eng – Scott Mitchell (6) – Eng

Williams in the semis already. Surprised me that they started so early

11.15 local time. Hardly hangover friendly, is it?

oche @OcheBalboa1
The 2 #bdo players who qualified out of the Groups at the GSOD failed to get out the groups at the Finder #darts

It switches to setplay now. I quite like that idea. In fact this whole setup seems wasted on the professionals, but never mind.

I wouldn't mind seeing the 24 players / 3 per group setup in the World Series Final, actually.

(And I have a feeling I posted the same thing a year ago...)

[Zeyes]

Telnekes averaged 88, 83 and 79 in his three games. (And he won two of them!) Fifth-best Dutch player in the BDO rankings. Probably fourth-best on Monday as Mandigers was only slightly ahead and failed to defend points here.

[The Thorn]

The world champion will play the world number one in the second semifinal then. But enough about last year's Ally Pally

[skweezit]

tuning in for the durrant match.

veenstra has a very intense face. jeepers creepers.

[skweezit]

kites vs teardrop flights.
just one of the secondary battles going on in this semi.

another would be the most area controlled on the refreshmant table by a player.

c'mon duzza

[skweezit]

durrant finally shoves himself into the lead for the first time
1-1, 1-0

[skweezit]

136 out by durrant to steal the set.
nice.
2-1

[skweezit]

durrant takes it.
3-1
hey, there's the stick man! co stompe.

[skweezit]

ps. pears won.
trivia question: name a player in the pdc that uses kite flights?

[Rogg]

Where's Andrew Gilding when you need him? Jimbob-Duzza final. Half a chance of having a defending champion if this goes ahead next year.

Fallon-Ashton final up next.

[Rogg]

Ashton wraps up the first set in 15-17-18.

[skweezit]

lisa ashton plays jan dekker in the pdc worlds.
wouldn't it be funny if...?

nah. perish the thought.

[The Thorn]

That was a really enjoyable final, very impressive from Lisa

[M H]

Looks as this has really grabbed our interest

[Rogg]

Not too shabby and it's her again. #nobodyknows


Fallon Sherrock (84,58) 1-2 (88,68) Lisa Ashton

[Rogg]

Veenstra-Durrant final, even.

1st set to Dick who seems to have lifted his game considerably for the final (so far) and he needed to.

[skweezit]

veenstra is shooting up a storm.
grabs the set.
expect duzza to work it back
