13:59First in action
14:29So, and not looking for
14:59Iva Hodgson, Iva Hodgkinson
15:29Iva Hodgkinson
15:59So, the Englishman's
16:29Steffan looks, and not looking for the
16:59Effective
17:29So, and not looking for the
17:5912, 15 darts to be down to 2.17s.
18:02Stefan Lord struggling.
18:07Now, 2.17s now for Ivor Hodgkinson
18:10to gain a place in the semifinals, and he does.
18:16So, Ivor Hodgkinson goes through to the semifinals.
18:19He'll be joined by either Leighton Rees, the Welsh captain,
18:21or Tom Brown, last year's Scottish jump.
18:24We join it in the first leg.
18:26Leighton Rees.
18:29Likes rugby, captain of the Welsh national side,
18:31plays in the Unassable United Services Club.
18:3899.
18:39Scores 99, doctor's orders.
18:42So, Tom Brown, neat, economical, almost unassuming style.
18:48He's won, Tom Brown, who is no flashman.
18:54This is Leighton Rees.
18:55From Wales, really reckoned to be the greatest dart player in Wales,
19:00and that's saying something because there's some super players
19:02we've seen in indoor league.
19:03Alan Evans, Tony Riddler, to name.
19:05140!
19:07But a few, and Leighton Rees showing why they think he's the Welsh wizard.
19:10140, he scores.
19:12So, Tom Brown struggling a bit.
19:14He's dropped over 100 behind now, with these great heavy darts.
19:19He jumps into the board.
19:24Leighton Rees, the boardmaster of Welsh Wells.
19:27And that was very, very dodgy.
19:31I think he's going to come away from that.
19:32He might dislodge that one.
19:34Oh, yeah.
19:35100!
19:36Well, that really is confidence.
19:38That is bold play.
19:40Still got his 16.
19:41He needs 102 now, so, at the moment, it's Wales in front.
19:47He wants 102.
19:48Now, which way?
19:49Treble 20, 10, double 16, possibly.
19:53That treble 20.
19:5610, double 16, he wants.
19:59Oh!
19:5986 scores!
20:00Well, a happy piece of match reading by the commentator.
20:06Leighton Rees not quite able to pull it off.
20:0822!
20:09So, Tom Brown, 22.
20:12So, now, two-eighths for Leighton Rees to wrap up the first leg.
20:17Neat and tidy.
20:19Game!
20:19And he does.
20:23Rees wins the first leg, but it was close.
20:25Here's the second.
20:26Green darts in that first leg for Leighton Rees to score a 501 and finish on a double.
20:31He throws in the second leg and straight away on the gold standard.
20:3560, 80, fumbling about, trying to find a hole for another 60.
20:39100!
20:40Very good dart play.
20:41They really have superb confidence, these players.
20:43So, Tom Brown, the Scottish champion, one leg behind,
20:46and now he has got to go, and it looks like he can hear the bagpipes.
20:50100!
20:51A ton he gets.
20:53We're beginning to go places.
20:56Leighton Rees.
20:58Went to America with the Great Britain team earlier this year in April, in fact.
21:0645!
21:06Gets 45, and by his standards, that's not a very good scorer.
21:11So, Tom Brown from Scotland.
21:13Really having to pull it all out to maintain tart and pride.
21:1840.
21:19Quiet start.
21:23Rees.
21:2460.
21:25Lots of room for another one, too.
21:27Moves across to his left.
21:28Can he get it in the hole on the outside?
21:30100!
21:30No, but he was very close, wasn't he?
21:32So, there's a ton in it now, again, and Tom Brown is slipping behind.
21:40And unless he hits those troubles, Scotland are going out of the Indoor League Dance Tournament.
21:49Rees, moving about.
21:52Almost gliding on the hockey, trying to find the right line for that 60, and he does.
21:57This really is such an authoritative player.
22:05So, he wants 161.
22:11So, 60, 51.
22:14And he wanted, if he'd have got the treble at 17, he would have wanted a ball.
22:18He went forward.
22:19He wanted 63, 63, 20, 3, 17.
22:22Ball shot out.
22:23What a sensation that would have been.
22:24But now, he wants 68, and Tom Brown is staring at the feet very, very sternly in the face.
22:3068.
22:3268.
22:3420.
22:35Here, we want 16, 2, 16.
22:37That's the single double he wants.
22:40Not quite.
22:42But he is looking good.
22:44Tom Brown needs 190, so a very big score.
22:47Must come off.
22:49These three darts.
22:51Otherwise, he's in trouble.
22:5222.
22:52Will Leighton Rhys allow this opportunity to go by?
22:56I think not.
22:57Two 16s.
22:58Just inside.
22:59Two 8s.
23:00One up.
23:02Now, two 4s.
23:05Oh!
23:06Very close.
23:08Superb pitcher of a dark player knowing his shots and going for them.
23:12So, 168, Tom Brown.
23:1616.
23:17Let off the hook.
23:18So, 2-2s.
23:20Leighton Rhys, one of the favourites, looking for this 2-2.
23:23James!
23:23And finding it with superb authority.
23:27He really did look a total darting thoroughbred in that quarterfinal.
23:32Leighton Rhys goes forward into the semis.
23:35Confident play from Leighton Rhys.
23:37And that's it for this week.
23:38Next time, the last two quarterfinals featuring Alan Evans, Willie Everington, Tommy O'Regan,
23:43our reigning champ, and their current News of the World maestro, Peter Chapman.
23:47We'll have the first semifinal as well.
23:49I'll say that.
23:56One hundred and eighty!
23:57Thirty-nine.
23:58One hundred.
24:12One hundred.
24:13Eighty-one.
