See that Jack Taylor has returned to Bridgwater from Corsham. Expected to sign a few more players in the next couple of weeks from higher divisions as well. Hope they fail miserably.

Noppert is the one that has the most to feel hard done by. We have Luke Littler, then the others are the top 6 in the rankings, Noppert is at number 7 and Peter Wright at 8. Wright very lucky to get in imo after an abysmal year for him form wise.

On a side note I see that he is provisionally in the top 32 in the world after this.

108.74 average tonight. What a final it is going to be tomorrow night.

Humphries wins it for me now. Had a tough schedule with playing last most rounds. No real idea as to what time his match would start so difficult to prepare. It wasn't until last night when there were only 2 matches, so had an idea as to when his match would start. And low and behold hits a 103.5 average. Can only see him getting stronger now.

He is nowhere near as good as he was. There is always this type of performance in him nowadays.

But 3 nil up

Wow Cross 4-0 down to Dobey in first to 5 and comes back to beat him 5-4. Unbelievable darts.

Nailed on, injury permitting, in my opinion.

Who had the other 10% ?

Absolute class from Humphries.

Humphries in big trouble 3-1 down in a first to 4.

Dobey wins 4-2 and there were 27 180's in the match. I think he will beat Michael Smith in the next round.

Getting better and better. Dobey averaging 112 two sets to nil up on Ross Smith who is averaging 111

What a 1st set between Bunting & Hempel. Going to be a great day of darts.

164

No kept it quite restrained really. Thought he might have given it large TBF. The biggest tit on the day was Tovey on the Yate bench, non stop querying every decision. Not too sure what the financial situation is like at Yate now but if the best back up striker they can get is Jack Ball things must be bad. Hadn't heard is name on the circuit last 18 months or so but he looked a couple of stone too heavy. Oli Jenkins of Yate best player on the pitch by some distance.

Just back from the 6 pointer between Paulton and Yate. Paulton won one nil in a real scrappy affair. Both teams right down at the bottom of the league and you can see why.

Mousinho at Pompey ?

11 of the 32 seeds have been knocked out in the 2nd round.

3 more seeds out so far today, Huybrechts, Rydz and now Josh Rock. Next game could be another, Ryan Joyce been playing well recently, should give Bunting a game.

Van den bergh, de Souza and the aubergine farmer all knocked out today.

Going off on a tangent Swansea linked with Luke Williams as their new manager.

Wade out beaten by Canadian Matt Campbell. Big shock as Wade's form has been good recently.

Definitely by accident. He was on his way out of the club and was used as a striker in pre season as a filler as we had no one else available.
