Been watching a bit of darts lately.
Hopefully the title stays in Wales - we are blessed with a couple of players right at the top of their game.

I do fancy getting myself a dartboard - especially if any lock down rumours are true.

[Whisperer]

Stand up if you luv the darts.🕺🏻

[The Bloop]

A few decent players left off the OP's list. Wade, Cross and Ryan Searle all playing well at the moment and could be decent outside bets, but I'd love to see Gerwyn Price or Clayton win it.

[Whisperer]

Bit of a wank crowd on the opening night singing GSTQ and English football songs.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Some stats to ponder:

Highest average you could theoretically whitewash an opponent in one set: 167
Highest average you could win a set: 171
Highest average you could lose a set: 173.5
Highest average you could be whitewashed in a set: 174.14

I don't follow the darts much these days but heard it's in Cardiff soon?

Do it! I've had one for quite a few years, after having not played for ages before that. It paid for itself a thousand times over during the lockdowns. Dart Counter website, and app for phone is fantastic and free. https://dartcounter.net/en
Makes it so much more fun when playing on your own, which has been a lot the last couple of years!
Working from home has been good for one thing, my darts average

Normally in the CIA, hopefully Gerwyn Price gets a great home reception.
With all the booze, football chants and booing I can see it turning ugly one day.

Thanks fella, glad you shared that.
I actually got myself a board today.

I'm amazed that it hasn't.
I was equally amazed watching the crowd earlier in fancy dress and not a mask in sight.

People just want to wear Mario costumes and have a good time I guess and who can blame them, but it did look like a massive petri dish.

This was pretty spectacular...

Tough on young Bradley Brooks he’s some player & a future champion but what a time to hit a 9 darter

[Whisperer]

Incredible.

Thought the crowd were cnutish to such a young kid on his debut, but he soon shut them up with that 9 darter.
I don’t think the Dutch fans are there in numbers this year because of the covid and it’s just turned into EDL Christmas party ……cmon Gerwyn he’ll sort them out.

Watched the Peter Wright match last night. Constant chants of 'Tottenham get battered ' and some obnoxious woman who kept screaming ' Harry Maguire' constantly. I'd happily pay a years wages to any doctor willing to remove her vocal cords ! Had to turn the sound off in the end 🤣

[valleys caveman]

Another 9 darter!
Labanauskas with this one.

I agree there.
In that match he hit a 10 and 11 darter himself.
In fairness that was a brilliant match to watch and what a way to win a match.

It was "Scotland get battered" wasn't it? They were singing it at Borland as well, as well as "England til I die" and chants about Harry Maguire for some reason

Cardiff-born Jim Williams takes the first set against 2021 World Youth Champ Ted Evetts.

Cardiff-born Jim Williams takes the first set against 2021 World Youth Champ Ted Evetts.

And the second.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

And the second.

It's a tough watch in fairness!

[valleys caveman]

It's a tough watch in fairness!

Williams could do with sharpening those darts up a touch.
