    Yeah Wattimena deserves his chance he's doing very well on the floor tournaments at the moment and Barney playing like a pig as well. Ireland and Wales have decent shouts of going very well I think and Lithuania could spring a surprise or two IMO.

    We have a good team with Lennon and O'Connor but we need both of them playing well at the same time. They definitely have it in them to make a quarter final anyway.

    I think Lennon is a better player than he’s given credit for, if they both play well they can beat anyone

    Greece first up for is in what is as handy a draw as you could hope for.

    Potentially England in the last 16 though. Will be tough to beat them!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Let's see about beating Greece and John Michael's wobbly darts.
    It's a good comp - a format and players you don't get to see often and plenty of competitive darts.

    Didn't look that far ahead, just saw Greece and thought "it's coming home"!

    Can't see Ireland beating England but getting past Greece means £4K each for the two boys so how bad. Am I right in saying it doesn't contribute to rankings?

    Northern Ireland are my darkhorse.

    Nope, not a ranking event. if the boys play well they could beat England,, Smith can't buy a win these days and Cross is unpredictable

    Plenty small nation's could cause a shock. Austria, Poland, Norn Iron, ect. Really looking forward to it

    Didn’t realize this was on Sky sports.

    Norn Ire out, they were very poor especially Dolan who was shocking

    No surprise really. I read or heard they were tipped but wouldn't have fancied them at all. Dolan is well off his prime.

    Gerwyn Price is a super player but is made look even better compared to Clayton and the Lims.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Wales out too.

    Paul Lim was excellent

    That was a good match between Russia and Austria.

    Good man Lennon, held his throw for a 4-3 win over Smith.

    Steve Lennon just best Lerchbacher 4-1 to put us one up against Austria.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,464 ✭✭✭Ultimate Seduction


    Shocking performance from Willie.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    He was way off yesterdays performance, Mensur was clinical though.

    First to 4 again, c'mon lads.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Yes!!! Go on lads! Worked very well together there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,464 ✭✭✭Ultimate Seduction


    Into the semi finals!!!

    Lennon was class in the doubles. Great stuff to be in the Semi finals!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    We need a Wattimena wobble and have a great chance of making the final.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 158 ✭✭jkbkhhho7t


    Woeful from lennon


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Great effort from Lennon, had a 131 to win it. I think Willie can take Jermaine and force the decider.

    Wattimena miles off it. Willie up 3-0


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭dexter647


    Good man...Come on Ireland


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Well done Willie

    JW looks suspect

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Wattimena is weak enough and MvG not quite firing.
    Real chance here to make the final.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,294 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    Great chance here in the doubles. Solid stuff from O'Connor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Incredible stuff from both.

    One more leg lads
