00:00Clare requires forty.
00:08Yes, sir!
00:30Now then, today the climax of the indoor league. The final of the men's darts.
00:41We're now down to the last four. Lads capable of scoring.
00:45With such regularity, they'd make Jeff Boycott seek out the nets to try and improve his average.
00:50Des Stab, a rank outsider at the start, but in at the finish.
00:54He's been playing for seven years, and he's had lots of successes, including...
00:58121!
01:00121 there, very nice too.
01:03Tommy O'Regan, super cool from London's Super League.
01:07Close, and I think he must have heard me as well.
01:10140!
01:11140. So this is Evans.
01:14Alan Evans from Wales, and proud of it.
01:20Is that a 60, I think it is. My goodness, he's tremendous as me.
01:24118!
01:26118!
01:27And that's it!
01:29And Tony Riddler, a 20-year-old Welsh international.
01:33That's a lot further in front, because that's 60. It is at 120. I think it might be.
01:38118!
01:39Have you seen it again, folks?
01:41118!
01:423, 12, 20!
01:45I've been playing darts since I was number the lad, but I've never seen guys who could score with such consistency.
01:51Judge for yourselves as we come to the first semi-final.
01:54It's between the two Welsh wizards, Evans and Riddler.
01:57Dave Lannings providing the chat.
01:59So, things hotting up with the first semi-final of the indoor league's dance competition.
02:05And this one could be described as the unofficial championship of Wales.
02:08Because we have fairing there, Tony Riddler, from Newport, Monmouthshire.
02:12And his opponent is a young man with a devastating finish on the bullseye.
02:17Alan Evans, from Rhonda Glamorganshire.
02:22And believably, these two brilliant youngsters, both from the Valley country.
02:26140!
02:27And that's the sort of scoring, when I say brilliant, I mean brilliant.
02:30They have never met before in an individual match.
02:33And really, we should have some tremendous outplaying this time.
02:37Evans has gone straight off with 140.
02:4042!
02:41Riddler struggling a bit with a 40 there.
02:43So, this is Evans.
02:47A great little player.
02:53Is that a 60?
02:54I think it is.
02:55My goodness, he's tremendous as me.
02:57180!
02:58180!
02:59And that's it.
03:00Three treble, three treble twenties.
03:03The first time we've seen it.
03:04And that's a little bit of history on ITV.
03:07Because I'm sure we've never seen that before.
03:09Fantastic stuff.
03:1160!
03:12And unbelievably, in six starts now, Evans has scored 220.
03:18320!
03:19Good gracious me.
03:20Even I can't count.
03:22Is that another 60?
03:23It looks like it is.
03:24And another one!
03:27And it's come down.
03:2897 score!
03:29No, it wasn't.
03:30My goodness me!
03:31Anything is possible now.
03:36Oh, bad luck, Tony Ridler.
03:4140!
03:42So now, unbelievably, Evans, after only nine darts...
03:44The player requires 84.
03:46And this might well make the Guinness Book of Records.
03:4884.
03:4964.
03:5048 going now.
03:5152 score!
03:52So he needs two sixties next time.
03:53And Tony Ridler, who hasn't really been playing badly, still needs 315.
03:5499!
03:55He's got 99!
03:56Now, Evans in with a chance of getting eight.
03:58There requires 32.
03:59In three, six, nine, twelve, thirteen darts.
04:00501.
04:01And if you complete that...
04:02Now...
04:03That's it.
04:04So he's added 14 darts.
04:0514 darts exactly.
04:0615.
04:07252 score!
04:08So he needs two sixties next time.
04:09And Tony Ridler, who hasn't really been playing badly, still needs 315.
04:1099!
04:11He's got 99.
04:12Now, Evans in with a chance of getting eight.
04:15There requires 32.
04:16In three, six, nine, twelve, thirteen darts.
04:19501.
04:20And if you complete that...
04:21Now...
04:23That's it.
04:24Game!
04:25So he's added 14 darts.
04:2614 darts exactly in the first leg.
04:29And if that is not championship dart playing, then gold help us.
04:34Evans wins the first game in 14.
04:37Repeat.
04:3814 arrows.
04:39Fantastic flighting.
04:40Absolutely.
04:41You just cannot play against it.
04:4314 darts, including the magic 180.
04:47But Riddler is a fighter.
04:49147!
04:50And he's come back with 137.
04:55Well, what next, we wonder?
04:57Maybe a kits and sink will come floating in.
05:0560!
05:0660.
05:07And by Alan Evans standard, that's a disastrous throw.
05:09So now Riddler.
05:10Flight out of that one.
05:11I think it's still 40 though.
05:1260!
05:1360 scored.
05:14Great dart play.
05:15Really magical stuff.
05:16Now Evans, is that a 60?
05:17I think it is.
05:18That's so close, it looks like 80.
05:1997!
05:2097!
05:2197, he came down the bottom.
05:25So Tony Riddler now is 40 in front.
05:26First time he's had his nose in front really throughout the match.
05:32That's a lot further in front because that's 60.
05:33It is at 120.
05:34I think it might be.
05:35180!
05:36180!
05:37I can see it again, folks.
05:38180, three treble twenties.
05:39My goodness me, this really is beyond any kind of description.
05:43I have run out of superlatives.
05:44100!
05:45100!
05:46100!
05:47100!
05:48The player requires 1-2-4.
05:49124 going.
05:50There's a shot out here.
05:51It is at 120.
05:52It is at 120.
05:53It is at 120.
05:54I think it might be.
05:55180!
05:56I can see it again, folks.
05:57180, three treble twenties.
05:58My goodness me, this really is beyond any kind of description.
06:01Game on this.
06:02I have run out of superlatives.
06:03100!
06:04100!
06:05100!
06:06The player requires 1-2-4.
06:07124 going.
06:08There's a shot out here.
06:09It is at 120.
06:10It is at 120.
06:11It is at 120.
06:12I think it might be.
06:13180.
06:14I can see it again, folks.
06:15180, three treble twenties.
06:16124 going.
06:17There's a shot out here.
06:18There's 104.
06:21What's he got?
06:22That looks like a 599.
06:2382!
06:24He got out of trouble very well.
06:25Now he wanted 99.
06:26He got a 57 treble.
06:2719.
06:28He wants 42.
06:29And Evans now is struggling.
06:30Having only had nine darts.
06:32Down at 2-4-4.
06:33And he's struggling now.
06:35What a ding dong.
06:3958.
06:4058.
06:41And the player requires 42.
06:42So Riddler to level this incredible match.
06:44Now needs 42.
06:45Which way will he go?
06:4610, I would think.
06:47He's got it.
06:48Two 16s.
06:49Game check!
06:50Wow!
06:53They're going to put this one in the archives.
06:55I'm sure about it.
06:56Unbelievable stuff.
07:01What Evans can do, Riddler can do.
07:03He equalizes in 14 arrows.
07:06So now the third leg of this really remarkable game of starts.
07:10Between Tony Riddler here, throwing up the vital first throw.
07:13That looks like a 60 straight away.
07:17Moving around.
07:18Trying to find a hole for another one.
07:19100!
07:20100!
07:21100!
07:22And we absolutely all wonder here.
07:23Can this fantastic standard possibly be kept up?
07:26This is Alan Evans.
07:27The little man in the red shirt with the Welsh emblem on his breast.
07:32100!
07:33100!
07:34100!
07:35He's required with 100.
07:36A double figure score now is regarded with derision.
07:4160!
07:4260!
07:4360!
07:44Greeted with stony silence.
07:45When I do it, they buy the beer.
07:48This is Evans.
07:49A tremendous finisher.
07:50Tremendous dark player.
07:51That looks like 65.
07:5295!
07:5395 scored.
07:54So now Riddler.
07:55The battle of the young Welsh Colossus.
07:56And a real...
07:57100!
07:58A really fantastic game of starts.
07:59100!
08:00100!
08:01100!
08:02100!
08:03100!
08:04100!
08:05100!
08:06100!
08:07100!
08:08100!
08:09100!
08:10100!
08:11100!
08:12100!
08:13100!
08:14100!
08:15100!
08:16100!
08:17100!
08:18100!
08:19100!
08:20100!
08:21100!
08:22100!
08:23100!
08:24100!
08:25100!
08:26100!
08:27100!
08:28WTF!
08:29A really fantastic game of darts.
08:33They don't come better than this.
08:34And this is just the semifinal.
08:35What's the final going to be like?
08:36Evans throwing?
08:37Twenty!
08:38Twenty!
08:39Twenty!
08:40Twenty!
08:41Two, twenty!
08:42Twenty!
08:43ologica!
08:44Eight five!
08:45I had a crowd very well there.
08:47It seemed to lose a little, slight bit of concentration.
08:49So now Riddler.
08:50Both of these points have been to the news of the world final, another 100 for Midler,
08:55both have been news of the world finalists, but I doubt if either of them have ever played
08:59like this before, we wonder if they can keep it up.
09:03That's 60, 80, 83, he still went for the 60, that really takes guts, 141 go, 51, 54 double
09:1718's his shot, he's got 60, he wants 57, he didn't go that way, 57 would have left him
09:23two 12s, Tony what have you done son, come on work it out, he's got his 57, 71 score,
09:30there he requires, so that leaves him a shot, 138, 138 going, 60, 54 double 12 with his shot
09:37and this boy loves to finish on the bullseye, that's 60, 60, 3 18's he wants with a classic
09:43shot, he's missed it, 98 score, 98 but he's still very strong, he wants double top and
09:50Riddler really must get out on 17, now what's his shot going to be for 17, that's 18, 52,
10:00two 16's, 38 score, close, unbelievable, well what a finish that would have been, and now
10:08Alan Evans, and what a pity it will be to end this game, because he wants double top
10:13and by any standards that we've seen, he must get it this time, and I must keep my big man
10:18shut, he's delighted, that really was a memorable piece of dark play, tremendous stuff, if they
10:28come any better than that, it's so sad to see Tony Riddler go out, because Riddler played brilliantly,
10:34this young boy really must be the greatest in the world.
10:39Heavens it is, it's a shame there had to be a loser, but comes some consolation for Riddler,
10:44he's just taken part in the best darts match most of us have ever seen, now the second semi-final,
10:50between Des Stab and Tommy O'Regan.
10:52The second semi-final of the Indoor League, and whatever these two boys do, it's almost certain
10:58to be anticlimactic, which is a pity, because they're both good players, this is Des Stab, starting
11:02off with 30, Des Stab from Devon, from Plymouth and Devon, his opponent, Tommy O'Regan, the
11:08Irishman from the Walthamstow area in the east end of London, with the familiar Union Jack
11:13flights, and the very economical, neat, steady darts style.
11:1785.
11:18He's got 85, somewhat unusually there, with a bullseye, I think.
11:22This is young Stab, young Stab, only 25 years old, young darts player, really seem to be
11:28coming to the fore more and more, familiar twist grip of Tommy O'Regan, see the way he
11:34just twists those narrow little arrows in his hands, but he's beginning to find his turn.
11:40140.
11:41140.
11:42140.
11:43140 for Tommy O'Regan, this is Stab.
11:47A much heavier throw, but they still find their run.
11:50125.
11:51125 reply.
11:52So once again, we're getting amongst the big boys.
11:54O'Regan, from Walthamstow, plough in.
11:5560.
11:5660 scored.
11:57Won a lot of titles.
11:58Des Stab, too, knows what it's all about.
12:00Plays four times a week.
12:01Very close to the 60s there, Des.
12:02I can't think, you can't see it, he's got a lot of a lot of titles.
12:07Des Stab, too, knows what it's all about.
12:11Plays four times a week.
12:13Very close to the 60s there, Des.
12:15I can't think, you can't see it, he's going off a little trot around the world.
12:1976.
12:20Oh, do drop in, in the 312s.
12:23This is O'Regan.
12:24Twist the darts, Tommy.
12:25Let's go.
12:26That looks like 60.
12:27Is it a 60 or is it too high?
12:28I think it's a 60.
12:30That definitely is too high, but it's in 20.
12:33100.
12:34100 scored.
12:35So O'Regan going very, very merrily along his way.
12:38He is now over a ton up.
12:4355.
12:4455 for Des Stab.
12:46116.
12:4760, 60, 60.
12:4960, 16, double, 20.
12:51It's really a shot.
12:52He's gone instead upstairs for the 60 first of all.
12:55He's got 40.
12:57100.
12:58100.
12:59So he needs a double, 8 to finish.
13:02In the meantime, Des Stab beginning to look around for miracles.
13:06He needs 204.
13:08Hasn't played that badly.
13:11Check.
13:1228 score.
13:13O'Regan is a model of consistency and a tremendous finisher.
13:16He now needs two eights.
13:19Two fours up there at two o'clock.
13:22Game to Mr. Regan.
13:24One up to O'Regan, but Stab has come from behind in every match so far.
13:29So the second semi-final, remember there's big money at stake here.
13:32The indoor league prize for 150 pounds for the winner of the final.
13:36100 pounds for the second.
13:37So whoever wins this game automatically gets a guarantee of 100 quid in his cassock.
13:4260.
13:4360 for Des Stab.
13:44He's a leg behind.
13:45This is O'Regan.
13:46Very cool player.
13:47We've earlier heard him say in an interview with Freddie Truman that he's beginning to believe
13:59he's the best in the world.
14:00100.
14:01He'll have to beat Evans and that's going to be some final if these two get through.
14:05But Des Stab has not yet finished.
14:07Des Stab still going strong.
14:09100.
14:10100 today, Stab.
14:11By Bartham on the floor.
14:12This is O'Regan.
14:1320.
14:1440.
14:1560.
14:1660 scored.
14:17Absolutely nothing in it.
14:18Once again.
14:193, 4, 1.
14:20Marcus Drunk.
14:21Des Stab.
14:22There's Stab.
14:23100.
14:24100 today, Stab.
14:25By Bartham on the floor.
14:26This is O'Regan.
14:2720.
14:2840.
14:2940.
14:3060.
14:3160 scored.
14:32Absolutely nothing in it.
14:33Once again.
14:343, 4, 1.
14:35Marcus Drunk.
14:37Des Stab.
14:3885.
14:3985.
14:4085.
14:41So, Des Stab down there in cider country.
14:45By far from finished in this one.
14:47We tend to overlook him.
14:48A bit of an outsider.
14:49O'Regan we knew about.
14:50We knew O'Regan was grass.
14:51100.
14:52Beautiful.
14:53So, he's got 9 darts and he's scored 260.
14:57But Des Stab, the dark horse in the field in these semi-finals.
15:01Still plodding along.
15:0241.
15:0341.
15:04The last one was a bit of a mistake.
15:07So, O'Regan now needs 241.
15:10221.
15:11Remember you subtract the scores and they must finish on a double.
15:1560.
15:1660 scored.
15:17Very consistent.
15:18160.
15:19160.
15:2012 darts down to 181.
15:21Now Stab wants 215 to finish.
15:23So, a ton now would be very, very welcome.
15:2760.
15:2860 scored.
15:29So, 181.
15:30181.
15:31I would think he will stay up on the 20s and then come downstairs with his last start.
15:36No, he's going to have to stay there now because that one's bounced out.
15:3940.
15:40The player is 155.
15:41So, 155.
15:42Is there a shot here?
15:43Yes, there is.
15:4460, 57, double 19.
15:45How about that, Des?
15:46Unlucky for your 60.
15:4745 scored.
15:4845 scored.
15:49And now, 141.
15:50Treble 17.
15:51Treble 18.
15:52Double 18.
15:53Instead, he goes the other way.
15:54He's went for his 60.
15:55He's missed it.
15:56He's going to come down, I think.
15:57Yes, he is.
15:58Went for the 57.
15:59That's the treble 19.
16:00Remember, the inner rings are treble.
16:0159 scored.
16:0259 scored.
16:03So, now 110.
16:04Des Stab desperately needing this leg to get into the final, to stay level.
16:07155.
16:08How about that, Des?
16:09Unlucky for your 60.
16:1045 scored.
16:1145 scored.
16:12And now, 141.
16:13Treble 17.
16:14Treble 17.
16:15Treble 17.
16:16He's going to the final, to stay level in this semi-final.
16:19That's a five, and that's not very healthy, Desmond.
16:2225.
16:2335 scored.
16:2435 scored.
16:25There requires 82.
16:2682.
16:27Treble 14.
16:28Double tops his shot.
16:29Tommy O'Regan.
16:30That's the treble 14, is it?
16:31I think it is.
16:32No, he missed it.
16:33It was a single 14.
16:34He went over for the 18s.
16:35Bad luck.
16:3634 scored.
16:3734 scored.
16:3834 scored.
16:39Lear requires 75.
16:4075.
16:41So, treble 15, double 15.
16:42It's a nice shot, or 25.
16:43Ball.
16:44He wants a ball.
16:45He can hardly see it.
16:46Oh, he had a go.
16:47Good lad.
16:4833 scored.
16:49Well, he was unlucky there.
16:50He masked it.
16:51It was a very brave try.
16:52So, O'Regan wanting 48.
16:53We've seen the way he finishes.
16:54That's 16.
16:55He wants two of them now.
16:56Yes.
16:57Very good.
16:58Very good.
16:59He really does not play a bank when he's finishing.
17:00So, O'Regan goes into the final to meet Alan Evans, and everybody here at Indoor League
17:02just can't wait to see that final.
17:04So, O'Regan, the favourite here at the Irish Centre, doesn't let his followers down.
17:21Just a couple of ticks.
17:22O'Regan versus Evans.
17:24Ice-cold efficiency versus precocious brilliance.
17:27I'll see that.
17:28I'll see that.
17:51Heyo.
17:52If you fancy yourself a darts player, stick around.
17:55I reckon we've got, coming up, skills and arrows of outrageous proportions.
17:58The men's final is about to start.
18:00O'Regan of London against Evans of Wales.
18:03First game of the final.
18:04Well, the long-awaited final.
18:06The climax of the Indoor League dance competition between this man, Alan Evans, from Wales.
18:11We saw him in the semi-final.
18:12Fantastic stuff.
18:13Not an empty seat in the house.
18:18And he's straight into his style.
18:20100!
18:21100 to start.
18:22His opponent, Romeo Regan, from the London area, from Walthamstow, the Irishman ex-jockey.
18:27And really, this has all the portents of being an absolute darting club.
18:3323!
18:3423.
18:35This is Evans.
18:36What a player.
18:37There's a crowd, I would say, marginally on his side.
18:38Slightly the favourite.
18:39Slightly the favourite.
18:40Slightly the favourite.
18:41They've met once before in Bristol.
18:4245!
18:43I'm told, a few weeks ago, in a friendly match when Evans won it.
18:44But this is Indoor League.
18:45There's 150 quid at stake.
18:46And anything can happen.
18:47And after the darts we've had, that looks like 260s to me.
18:48100!
18:49No, it wasn't.
18:50It must have been pretty close though.
18:51That's a 100 score.
18:52This is Evans.
18:53Already he's had the maximum 360s in this competition.
18:54Can he do it again?
18:55Not this time anyway.
18:56But it still looks like 20.
18:57100!
18:58That's a 100 score.
18:59This is Evans.
19:00Already he's had the maximum 360s in this competition.
19:01Can he do it again?
19:02Not this time anyway.
19:03But it still looks like 20.
19:04100!
19:05That's a 100 score.
19:06This is Evans.
19:07Already he's had the maximum 360s in this competition.
19:11Can he do it again?
19:12Not this time anyway.
19:13But it still looks like 20.
19:15100!
19:18That's a 100 score anyway.
19:20This is O'Regan.
19:22He plays in the Waltham Stouwen District League.
19:23He's won virtually every title they've ever made in.
19:26In London.
19:27140!
19:28That's a 140 net.
19:29Very nearly.
19:30You can see it yourself.
19:31Very nearly 180.
19:32O'Regan really is the quiet man of this competition.
19:33But my goodness, he can throw darts.
19:34Let's open this boy.
19:35Alan Evans.
19:36Oh!
19:37A five.
19:38Disaster.
19:39Out of trouble.
19:40Looks like 65.
19:41Is he coming downstairs?
19:4270!
19:4370 score.
19:44So now the scores are coming down.
19:45Remember they must score 5-0-1.
19:46They must get a double to finish.
19:47O'Regan has shown that he's won.
19:49He's won virtually every title they're scoring in London.
19:51140!
19:52That's a 140 net.
19:53Very nearly.
19:54Very nearly.
19:55O'Regan has shown that he is absolutely dynamite on the finish.
19:59140!
20:00That's another 140 for O'Regan.
20:02He really is coming down like a steam engine.
20:0598 he needs now.
20:06Evans needs 186.
20:08So O'Regan has scored 389 darts at the moment.
20:15Champagne stuff.
20:17And this boy is surprisingly...
20:18140!
20:19He's struggling.
20:20He's still 140 and I was just going to say he's struggling.
20:23He needs 46.
20:24He needs 98.
20:2560 double 19.
20:26Now he's gone down for 48.
20:27He's got 16.
20:28He needed three.
20:29Remember the inner ring is the treble ring.
20:31Oh dear.
20:3225.
20:33O'Regan's struggling.
20:3444 score.
20:35The player requires 46.
20:3646 now for Evans for this vital first leg.
20:39Which way will he go?
20:4010 or a 6 is a classic shot.
20:42But then again, he might go for 14.
20:44And...
20:456.
20:46He needs double top.
20:47So close.
20:4826 score.
20:49He's missed it.
20:50He's missed it.
20:51He can't afford to do this.
20:52We've seen O'Regan.
20:53It's a tremendous finisher.
20:54He wants 54.
20:55Which way will he go?
20:5614 double topper, 18.
20:57No, he wins the ball now.
20:58He needs some ball.
20:59He wanted 18 double 18.
21:00Will he go for the ball?
21:01No, he hasn't.
21:02He's gone for 18 double 16.
21:03Yes.
21:04Game time!
21:05Well, this man really does finish.
21:06O'Regan goes ahead.
21:07But he's gone for 18 double 16.
21:09Yes.
21:10Game time!
21:11Well, this man really does finish.
21:13O'Regan goes ahead.
21:14O'Regan goes ahead.
21:15But it's not over yet.
21:16Not by a long joke.
21:18So, Evans a leg behind.
21:20The young Welsh whiz kid really has got a pilot on now.
21:27Is that 40?
21:28I think it is.
21:2945.
21:3045 scored.
21:31O'Regan, the man with the finishing touch.
21:37Very steady.
21:38Has shown his absolute darting pedigree right through the competition.
21:42100!
21:43That's a turn.
21:44That's a turn.
21:45That's a turn.
21:46That's a turn.
21:47That's a turn.
21:48That's a turn.
21:49That's a turn.
21:50Regan from London.
21:51Really going along merrily.
21:52But Evans, we are known, is a Welsh fighter.
21:54That's a five.
21:56Downstairs with his 19.
21:5931.
22:0031.
22:0131.
22:02Oh, dear.
22:03So, Regan now beginning to exert a bit of authority on this game.
22:07Beginning to dominate.
22:08Absolutely nerveless.
22:10What a lovely play.
22:12100.
22:13100.
22:14That's two tons on the trot.
22:18Poetry in motion.
22:19Evans really must find those 60s.
22:2660.
22:2760 scored.
22:28Well, Regan has hit 100 in both his first throws.
22:34That's another 20.
22:36That looks like another ton coming up, folks.
22:39100.
22:40There we go.
22:41Oh, really.
22:42So consistent.
22:43So beautifully consistent.
22:45An economical style that Watson scores.
22:48That's 160 now forever.
22:50Oh.
22:51Pulled it.
22:52Pulled it.
22:5385.
22:5485.
22:55But now Regan needs 201.
22:56Now he's got three tons in nine darts.
22:58Is he going to get another one?
22:59That's 20 of them.
23:01Looks to me to be in the five.
23:04140.
23:05Oh, tremendous.
23:06From this angle it looked like it was in the five.
23:07He now needs 61.
23:08And he's going on merrily towards the indoor league championship.
23:11And 150 quid.
23:12He only needs 61.
23:13Evans now looking for the miracle man.
23:1431.
23:15The man requires 61.
23:16Who would have thought this player could have been beaten after his 75?
23:17But O'Regan has been absolutely brilliant.
23:1861.
23:19Is that a 17?
23:2046.
23:21Is that a shot eight?
23:22I don't think so.
23:2345 score.
23:24I thought he wanted two 16s, was it?
23:25Yes it was.
23:26He got 45.
23:27He just missed it.
23:28So Evans now on 2-4-9 really.
23:29Needs a magic wand from somewhere.
23:31He's got 45.
23:32Evans now looking for the miracle man.
23:34The man requires 61.
23:3522.
23:36Here he is.
23:37It's a great win.
23:38It's a great win.
23:39It's a great win.
23:40It's a great win.
23:41The man requires 61.
23:42It's a great win.
23:43It's a great win.
23:44It's a great win.
23:45It's a great win.
23:46It's a great win.
23:47It's a great win.
23:48It's a great win.
23:49from somewhere. I can't see O'Regan missing. I cannot see O'Regan missing this 2.8.
23:5481! He hasn't missed a shot out yet. So 150 quid. It's all coming up now. Everything to play for.
24:00O'Regan on 2.8. Oh! He's moving across the other room left. Two fours with 150 quid with one dart
24:10left in his hand. He's missed it. That's the first time he's missed a double shot out. So 168 for
24:17Evans. I cannot see O'Regan missing another time, but Evans needs 168. He'll need a brilliant shot out
24:24to do it. 20, 148. Is that a 60? 85. 85. It's not good enough. Well, Tommy O'Regan now with a
24:36championship one would think in his pocket. Two twos. He can't see it now. Surely he can't squeeze
24:44one in there. He's moving around. What a shot this is going to be. Yes! Oh, tremendous!
24:51Fantastic. O'Regan wins. How he did it, I don't know. There was a visiting card in there,
24:57but he did it with a dart. O'Regan wins the Indoor League Darts Championship. 150 quid,
25:03a gold medal presented by TV Times, and the applause of this tremendous crowd. A fantastic
25:09dance competition comes to a fantastic climax. The winner of the 1973 four Indoor League Darts
25:19World Championship, Tommy O'Regan. Congratulations, Tom. Thank you very much.
25:35Why is it such a fantastic dart player you've never won the news in the World Championship?
25:39Well, it's a little bit easier at the moment. You know, in a couple of years' time, I might have a crack at it.
25:45Your modesty overwhelms me, sir. Yeah.
25:50Here we go, Tom. Just drop your head down here. This will break your neck.
25:59There is a check for 150 pounds. Congratulations once again, and all the best of luck to you, Tom.
26:05Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
26:14Tommy O'Regan, a worthy winner, because he never lost a game in his four matches. Some champion. And talking of champions,
26:21we've a special programme next time. We're paying homage to all nine winners of the Indoor League. I'll say that.
26:35Thank you very much.
