Watching the seniors on Bbc iplayer at the Circus. Although obviously the standard is much lower, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a crowd actually there to watch the darts.
No plums bursting into that Toure song every 5 minutes. It’s very much like the old BDO at Lakeside used to be.
Looks like one of the finalists is a Hammer too👍

Brilliant to see Andrew Gilding win the UK Open last night
Not sure you could find a more non-glamorous winner of any major sporting event!

I don't think I've ever been so pleased to see any individual win anything as much as Gilding winning the UK Open

He was interviewed after, and mentioned how he was trying to save up to buy a house - of course the £110k would go a huge way towards it.

A reminder that not all of these players are loaded, some of the journeymen are just taking a normal wage (if that) from winnings

Fallon Sherrock hit a nine-dart finish at the Winmau Challenge Tour event in Germany. She is the first woman in PDC history to do that. Well done.
