Jim Williams breathed a sigh of relief as he won a pulsating match under extreme pressure against Belgium’s Roger Janssen. The number three seed goes into the tournament as an outsider to lift the title and was off to a good start against an in form ‘Gizmo’.

Janssen continued the momentum from yesterday’s preliminary victory over Wouter Vaes as he got off to a perfect start, taking the opening set 3-0 after winning the bull in practice room. As Williams found his form in the second set the 180’s started to flow. Three maximums would outline a superb set for the Welshman as he levelled proceedings. 

A further two sets would be exchanged on throw for the pair as we went to yet another pivotal final set. The number three seed would deliver what he has promised for so many years in a terrific final stanza, blowing Janssen away with a 92 average as his quest for a first BDO World Championship continues.

Wayne Warren won the battle of the Welsh in the final match of the weekend, as he defeated Mark Layton on his Lakeside debut. Warren, retired from international action last year, but showed he still has the darts to compete among the elite as he defeated current Welsh captain Layton in straight sets.

In one of the performances of the tournament so far, Warren averaged around the 98 mark to see off the experienced Layton. The latter pushed Warren all the way in the opening set of the match, but it was plain sailing for ‘The Yank’ in set two, running away 3-0 winner. 

Despite a last gasp 180 in the third set, Warren showed terrific composure under pressure to see off a spirited performance from his Welsh counterpart. 

Warren was evidently delighted with his performance when we spoke to him post-match. Warren said: “Me and Mark are like brothers, but I got the job done and it’s on to the next round, I’m very happy to be through.”

The opening session of darts at the BDO World Professional Darts Championship was rounded off with a win for Conan Whitehead over former Welsh captain and 16-time Lakeside competitor Martin Phillips.

In a match of twists and turns, both players held the initiative at various points in proceedings. Whitehead would take the opening set with relative ease, before Phillips returned the favour on double five to make it 1-1. 

Phillips, a former Finder Masters champion, would take the lead after three sets, Whitehead missing a dart a double 12 for the set. But the Welshman’s experience showed as went within one set of victory. 

‘The Barbarian’ checked out 25 to bring things level once again as the match went into a crucial deciding set. The pair shared the first two legs before former Welsh captain Phillips took out a spectacular 100 check-out on double 19 to put him 2-1 up. 

The match would eventually go to a first tie break of tournament. A magical 120 checkout giving Whitehead to edge. He would put the final touches to a dramatic win as he let out a sigh of relief as he made it into the second round.
