I thought they couldn't name him because he's under 18.

I still have John Lowe's nine-darter on videotape. I think I have Paul Lim's too.

To be fair neither of them were 16 - allegedly, Mrs. Catcher doesn't believe a word of that!

Anywaysanall, it was some return from finishing 2nd in his first World Championship. Technically, I guess that was the first leg he played live on British TV... 'cos ITV moved Thursday's (day one) play to ITVX to accommodate such time critical programmes as Heartbeat on ITV3! However, it was live on German TV (DAZN 2) which I watched via my IPTV subscription. It was a bit like watching the racing on TG4 as coverage switched from German to English at will. Needless to say the lovely Emma Paton made no attempt to converse in German.... she remembers who won the war!

I'll not mention who won outright as it's being replayed on ITV4 as I type... well worth a watch though!

Why do they call it a 'leg' in Darts when most of them can barely walk? 8)

You do enjoy your darts Stephen, I can't seem to get anyway interested in any type of sport these days, I tried the women's footie, that was some drama scene and pissed me off ALL womens sports fer life, after so many years involved in every type of sport today everything seems a bit of a busman's holiday.

Women's weightlifting is worth a watch these days, they really do work their bollocks off:

I used to be quite sporting, Ken... back when we had a decent poker game in my local. To be honest them world series events don't generally have much appeal but I'd half watch them if they're on kinda thing. IMO, there's far too much darts on telly these days apart from the summer break. I'll take the weekend off to watch the UK Open at the start of March - might have a euro or two on Bunting and/or Dobey if the price is right - and I'll probably watch the premier league of a Thursday when that starts next month even though I don't particularly like the new format. My favourite tournament is the Players Championship Finals in November which I've attended a couple of times in Minehead and I used to like the World Grand Prix in Citywest (double in in Dublin) in October but that's gone since COVID '19... ah well...
