00:30Now then, and welcome to the Indoor League World Championships.
00:34Today we've two men's darts matches featuring four England internationals plus a ladies' match in the best of the first round ties.
00:41But we're starting with what should be a real gripping experience.
00:44The final of right-armed under 14 stones arm wrestling competition.
00:49In at the final beef encounter is Joe Graham from Salford in Lancashire and Clive Myers from London.
00:54Graham, the newcomer who teaches university graduates how to add brawn to their brains, and Myers, the pro all-in wrestler.
01:02Graham has yet to concede a fall in the competition.
01:04In the quarter final he took just 20 seconds to dispose of Australian Alan Hand.
01:09This was the second round.
01:10Right, take hold.
01:15That'll do it.
01:16Right in the square.
01:21Ready?
01:23Relax.
01:25Take hold again.
01:26Take hold.
01:29Ready?
01:30Go!
01:31Alan Llewellyn-Hans from Melbourne, Australia with everything to do.
01:34That's him there, remember.
01:34He's one down after the first leg.
01:36Remember of the Melbourne Maulers.
01:38You got it!
01:39Interested drinking and girls.
01:41So a comfortable quarter-final victory for the Salford strongman.
01:45In the semi-finals, he's up against one of the favourites, powerlifter Eamon Toll.
01:49He took just 30 seconds to win the first round.
01:51And despite the screams of the opponent, it didn't take him much longer in the second.
01:56Summoning all sinews, but Graham is refusing to be pressured, or if he refuses to be sighted
02:04down.
02:06And Graham begins to get on top.
02:09Graham, there he is.
02:13Tremendous effort.
02:14You could almost write a new time with the power they're generating.
02:17He's going to win it.
02:18It looks like amen to Eamon.
02:21And it is.
02:22Former champion, all-in wrestler Clive Myers, hasn't lost a fall either.
02:28In the first round, sheep-shearing champion Thomas Armstrong went like a lamb to the slaughter.
02:35Elbows well in the square.
02:38Hold it.
02:39Ready?
02:41Go!
02:42So round two, and it's Clive Myers on the left, and Thomas Armstrong from North London,
02:46his opponents, and he's going straight out well.
02:48He has to blast at every bit of about 30 seconds.
02:51An easy quarter-final, but in the semi-finals, it was up against the much-fancied American
02:56Fred Carpin, yet the young just couldn't get to grips.
03:00He is a keen powerlifter, won many championships, Maryland state champion, eastern states champion
03:05at arm wrestling, currently working for the United States Civil Service in Harrogate, just
03:10up the road from Leeds, an indoor league.
03:12But he's in terrible trouble against Clive Myers of London, Kid Chocolate, professional
03:16wrestler, one fall-up, and he has won the semi.
03:20So the scene's set for what could prove a classic final.
03:24Just a quick reminder of the rules.
03:25It's the best of three falls.
03:27Each round lasts a maximum of two minutes, and the wrestlers must not lift their elbows
03:31or move them out of the playing area, or they'll be disqualified.
03:35Hold it together.
03:36Relax.
03:37Ready?
03:39Go!
03:40Myers on the right, former indoor league champion, against Joe Graham on the left.
03:44And Myers in dynamic form.
03:46Man's dying first fall for him in this light heavyweight section final.
03:51Myers in devastating form.
03:53That fall took him just seven seconds.
03:55Can Graham get back on equal terms?
03:57So the second fall, and Myers once again, it's Graham in terrible trouble.
04:01Graham from Salford Langs, and he's lost.
04:03Myers really won that one with consummate ease.
04:08Tremendous win there.
04:09Clive Myers from London, he won it in 74.
04:12He's back as champion in 1976.
04:16So Clive Myers, the all-in wrestler, who goes under the name of Kid Chocolate,
04:20proves he has a hard centre and wins 150 quid and a gold medal.
04:25And didn't he make it look easy?
04:26Now it's time to go to the darts hockey,
04:28where England internationals Alan Glazier and Eric Bristow,
04:31Britain's youngest professional, are involved in the first-round match.
04:35We join it with Bristow to throw.
04:39He's a pretty steady old player, without any stunt at all.
04:43So too is this boy, Eric Bristow.
04:45Let's watch his style.
04:45That's 60.
04:49Good big tall lad.
04:51Leans well over.
04:52140!
04:53Yes, one fall out.
04:54Well, very confident kid, Glazier.
05:00Will he respond?
05:03Just below the treble.
05:0960.
05:10Beautiful grouping, but just 60.
05:14Just 60.
05:15An indoor league that is not regarded as anything very special at all.
05:21Bristow.
05:22Plays four hours a day.
05:24Single.
05:25Great hero is Tommy Barrett, of course, the legendary Double News of the World Champion.
05:30Playing well, young Eric.
05:3141, 45, then into the groove.
05:34140, 100.
05:36That's his scoring.
05:37Alan Glazier has scored 41, 60, 60, and a tonne.
05:43The tonne machine starts lubricating.
05:47Grinding into action there.
05:49240 he needs.
05:50He still trails Bristow.
05:52He wants 175, so a large odd score will leave him a shot out.
05:58He's got 40 there.
05:59He stays up top.
06:01Get 60.
06:01240, Alan Glazier needs.
06:05A regular visitor to America, where he does exhibitions.
06:12Score is 20.
06:15Shimmies across.
06:16Looking for a way into that treble.
06:1963.
06:20He's got one in there.
06:21Seemed to be impossible, too.
06:22Eric, you require 115.
06:24115 going for Eric Bristow.
06:25Good steady old darts.
06:26115.
06:27Let's see.
06:2860 would need to be his first start.
06:30No, he's gone for 57 and not got it.
06:32He's come up.
06:33He's got 39 there so far.
06:35Two single 20, single 19.
06:3799 score.
06:39That was 60 he was looking for.
06:40Alan requires 157.
06:42157.
06:42Well, treble 19, treble 20, double top.
06:46Let's see which way he goes first.
06:48Down for the 19.
06:49Misses.
06:51From 38 he wants now.
06:53118.
06:55Well, it's good darts.
06:5699.
06:56He gets 99 as well, which leaves him 58.
07:00And Eric Bristow now has a chance to get one leg up.
07:03He needs two eights.
07:07Moves across.
07:10My word, it's close.
07:11Shimmy's right off all the way into our camera here.
07:16Oh, no score.
07:17There were three super darts, but unfortunately just the wrong side of the wire.
07:2258 for Alan Glazier.
07:23Same on.
07:24Glazier.
07:24I'm only regard 58.
07:24Glazier off the hook.
07:2758.
07:27He'll probably go 18 double top, but you never can tell.
07:30Let's see.
07:32That's the 18 double top he wants.
07:35Steadying down.
07:36That's just underneath two tens.
07:40Four o'clock on the board.
07:46Glazier, the best left-handed player in Britain, goes one ahead.
07:50And it's Glazier to throw first in the second leg.
07:53Second leg with the first one safely under his belt.
07:57Barry Tromlow.
07:58I think perhaps Alan's extra experience just paying off in that first leg.
08:01Yes, it seems so.
08:03Both these players are accustomed to playing rather long distance.
08:07140.
08:10Roaring into the second leg with 140.
08:13Bristow now has the pressure well and truly on.
08:17And responds quite beautifully.
08:21That looks like a triple five.
08:24It is.
08:25Unlucky there.
08:2776.
08:27Now, Dave, are 3,001 match play games, which take between 15 and 20 minutes to play.
08:35So, absolute concentration.
08:37It looks as if you're right.
08:38Alan is...
08:39100.
08:40Second leg.
08:41Go on, Al.
08:44Eric Bristow, the new boy from the east end of London.
08:52Good darks.
08:53That's another travel.
08:54100.
08:55It's a ton.
08:56It's a lot of room for two more if we can just find that mark.
09:08He's dropped it just slightly.
09:0980 scored.
09:10Yeah!
09:12140!
09:14140 only.
09:15140 only.
09:16One of them missed the travel.
09:17He's down to 1, 2, 1 in nine darts.
09:19Notice, uh, Eric's hold of the dart is rather different to most of them.
09:27140!
09:27There's one finger on the point and two on the bone.
09:31Well, he gets 140.
09:32And the equation out on 1, 2, 1.
09:34So, that's the 60 he's looking for.
09:38He can go 57.
09:40He went for the 25.
09:41He went for 25 to leave himself to it.
09:4318s and missed it.
09:4481, score.
09:45Gets 81.
09:48He wants double top after 12 darts.
09:51Bristow wants 1, 8, 5 after 9.
09:54Really are warming up now on indoor league.
09:5881.
10:0081.
10:01So, is this going to be the quickest finish?
10:02It's 12 darts so far.
10:04And Alan Glazier wants double top to wrap up this preliminary round.
10:08Third dart.
10:16Bristow's turned away.
10:1724.
10:18He lives again.
10:21He lives again.
10:22Eric Bristow turned away there.
10:24Has Alan Glazier's last dart.
10:26104 he wants.
10:2718s are his shot.
10:29And he's got 86 left.
10:3154.
10:32He wants two 16s.
10:3456, score.
10:35No, in fact, he missed, he missed the treble.
10:39So difficult to pick him out there.
10:41Missed the treble.
10:43Alan Glazier now then needs two 10s.
10:51Two fives, top of the board.
10:55Five to rip.
10:56Not happy.
10:57Gets the one he wanted.
10:59Not happy.
11:00While we had a bit of a tray dropping or something in the background, did that distract Alan Glazier?
11:04We wonder.
11:05Eric Bristow wants 48.
11:06That's eight.
11:08Double top now.
11:10That looks like a single.
11:11He wants two 10s.
11:13Yes!
11:13He must have!
11:14And he's done it.
11:16Glazier would probably like to kick himself, or more probably the guy who dropped the tray
11:20of drinks when he was going for the double out.
11:22Here's the decider.
11:24Slip away.
11:25So can Glazier come in with another big score?
11:28He looks very, very serious.
11:3030.
11:36Scores 30.
11:38Well, has the psychological advantage swung over to this youngster?
11:42Eric Bristow looking very composed now.
11:46Barry Tromlow, of course.
11:47Psychology plays such an important part in big-time darts these days.
11:5160.
11:51Oh, yes.
11:53The one who could settle quickly.
11:55Of course, I thought Eric might have been most upset with a miss of that double in the first
11:59leg, but he came back well down.
12:03It was Alan's turn to miss the double.
12:04Yes, I'll glaze you back on the 20s now.
12:07That looks like the wrong house.
12:1043.
12:1143 only.
12:12Let's have a look again at this rather unconventional holding style of Eric Bristow.
12:19As he hits the three, he just seems to twist his fingers.
12:23His fingers, very unusual there, Barry.
12:25Yes.
12:26130.
12:26He's on the point of the bar.
12:28He's on the point of the bar.
12:30He's going very well.
12:33140 there, one in front of Glazier.
12:37That's a one.
12:39One.
12:3941.
12:4241.
12:43This is not at all the sort of style we expect from Alan Glazier.
12:48Eric Bristow now with his tail firmly up.
12:52That looks like two trebles.
12:55180.
12:57That's 180.
12:59First time in this series.
13:01And Eric Bristow now playing absolutely beautifully.
13:09One hundred.
13:11Glazier returns with a ton.
13:13121 going.
13:14He's only had nine darts.
13:18It's come down.
13:19Is it a 57?
13:20No, it's a 19.
13:21That's 79 scored.
13:2489 scored.
13:2589 has scored.
13:26That leaves him two 16s.
13:3032.
13:31For only 12 darts, Eric Bristow and Alan Glazier.
13:34Now, plodding on, but must be getting a bit worried.
13:38He's got 80 scored.
13:39One hundred.
13:40Gets a ton.
13:41He's got two tons.
13:42The ton machine is still working, but is it too late?
13:45Eric Bristow now, after only 12 darts.
13:47He now wants 32 two 16s for this round.
13:53Well, a surprise perhaps.
13:56A surprise perhaps.
13:57But Bristow it is who goes forward.
13:59Glazier having won the first leg, allowed the second one to slip away.
14:03And in the third one, just didn't get a look in.
14:07Bristow scrubs out Glazier and enters the quarterfinals, though it could have gone either way.
14:11We're taking a breather in a couple of minutes with the last preliminary round match from the men's darts between two more England internationals,
14:18Cliff Lazarenko from Hampshire and King of the Midlands, Brian Vokes.
14:22The Queen of Cleveland, Babs Evans, will also be at the hockey against Lancashire's top lassie, Margaret Lally.
14:29I'll see thee.
14:41Hey-up, and welcome to part two of the Indoor League.
14:51We've another men's darts match for you now.
14:52And another two England internationals.
14:54Big Cliff Lazarenko, Hampshire's top player, and Brian Vokes of Birmingham.
14:59Vokes won the toss and starts the first game off.
15:02Match on, please.
15:04Brian Vokes, the man they call the king in the Midlands, from the Birmingham area.
15:07Boric's top player.
15:08County News of the World Champion three times.
15:10Starts with 60.
15:13His opponent, newcomer to big-time darts and indoor league, Cliff Lazarenko.
15:19A whole lot of player.
15:20Big lad from Hampshire.
15:22100.
15:23Starts with a ton.
15:23Nice style, too.
15:25Fawkes.
15:27Cleveland Masters champion in 1975.
15:30The ITV Pro-Am champion in 74-75, too.
15:33Good darts.
15:34180.
15:34Good darts.
15:35Great darts.
15:36180.
15:39Super stuff.
15:40Lazzarenko.
15:48100.
15:48Score's a ton.
15:49So Brian Vokes with one maximum 180.
15:52Already on his side of the scoreboard.
15:55Gets another 60.
15:59100.
16:00It's a ton.
16:01So he's coming down remarkably swiftly.
16:051-6-1 now, Brian Ports wants.
16:07And there's a shot here.
16:08He could get out conceivably in 12 darts.
16:09And Cliff Lazarenko, who hasn't missed 20 yet, scored two tons.
16:13100.
16:13Three tons.
16:14Three tons.
16:16Could make...
16:17May...
16:17May...
16:18May...
16:19Could well not have a...
16:20Double.
16:20A double.
16:22Well, here we go.
16:23It's...
16:23Brian Vokes gets 60, so that leaves him 101.
16:27Cliff Lazarenko wants 2-0-1.
16:29Hasn't missed a ton yet.
16:36Another ton.
16:37That's four tons consecutively for Cliff Lazarenko.
16:40101 going for Brian Vokes.
16:44He's missed it.
16:44He's got 17.
16:45Difficult to see where that second dart is.
16:4739 scored.
16:4939 scored.
16:50So 101 for Cliff Lazarenko.
16:53Well, he'll look for 51.
16:55No, he doesn't.
16:55He goes up looking for 60.
16:58Gets 5.
17:00Wants 96.
17:00That's another 5.
17:01He's coming downstairs for the 51 looking for a shot there.
17:0562.
17:06So, well, treble 10 as he's shot for 62.
17:09Got a single.
17:1052.
17:10He wants two 16s.
17:1230 scored.
17:13Really, this is...
17:14Really.
17:16Sprinting darts.
17:1732.
17:18Brian Vokes.
17:19Cliff Lazarenko.
17:20100, 100, 100, 100.
17:23It's 27.
17:24Some little discussion about the scoring there.
17:26Yeah, 27.
17:27He wants 74.
17:30Well, treble 14 will leave him...
17:33Double 16.
17:35He's got 11.
17:36Wants 63.
17:36He's got 39.
17:38He wanted...
17:3862 scored.
17:40Two 12s he wanted there.
17:44And just missed it inside the wire.
17:46Forks needs two 16s.
17:48Couldn't get much closer.
17:49Third dart.
17:50Unlucky, Brian.
17:52Good score.
17:53No score.
17:54Well, this really is a tremendous first leg.
17:5612.
17:57Two sixes for Cliff Lazarenko.
17:59That's genius inside.
18:01Two threes.
18:02Game on first leg for Cliff Lazarenko.
18:04Lazarenko's superior finishing power gives him the first leg and he starts the second.
18:11So Cliff back on the board.
18:12He's been the NDA Great Britain individual knockout winner, 75, and the NDA GB home counties winner in 75 as well.
18:20Hampshire Super League singles winner, 75.
18:21No door for a side county winner the same year.
18:24So last year, Cliff really emerged into the dart in big time.
18:27Brian Fawkes on the hockey now, having lost the first leg, although he played quite remarkably well.
18:3481.
18:37Cliff Lazarenko, he got a ton.
18:39Four tons rattle off at the start of his first leg.
18:43He is playing tremendously well.
18:45That looks like 80.
18:47Very close on the wire.
18:48Moves across.
18:48100.
18:49Another ton.
18:50Well, Lazarenko really remarkably consistent.
18:55Tremendously so.
18:56Gets tons.
18:59100.
18:59Almost off a production line.
19:01Good style, this boy, Barry.
19:03Cliff Lazarenko, and tremendous ton collecting, too.
19:07Of course, that 60 is probably right on his eye level, too.
19:10A bit of a tall man.
19:1260.
19:12Pushing straight off.
19:14Well, he gets 60 at a derisive...
19:16Aw, echoes round.
19:18First time he's missed a ton for a long while, and Cliff having a bit of a grin about that.
19:22100.
19:23Brian Fawkes gets a ton.
19:25Super at arts.
19:272-4-1, then, for Cliff Lazarenko.
19:31That's another 80.
19:3585.
19:3685.
19:36Just screwed away at the last moment.
19:38He wants now 156.
19:39Brian Fawkes wants 2-2-0.
19:42And really, in this 5-0-1 game now, the man gets away, wins the toss, and gets away with
19:48tons and tons.
19:49Clever requires 156.
19:49That's an awful lot of catching.
19:501-5-6.
19:5160-62-18s.
19:54That's 5.
19:55He must come down, surely.
19:57He wants 91.
19:58He'll come down for...
19:5982 scored.
20:0051.
20:01Brian requires 160.
20:03160.
20:03He wanted.
20:04So, double 60, double top.
20:07Is the shot.
20:07He's not going to do it now.
20:0925.
20:09Ah, that may well be.
20:11And Cliff now requires 74.
20:1474.
20:14So, 3-14s, 2-16s, perhaps.
20:17There's 3-14s, 2-16s.
20:20He wants.
20:2442 scored.
20:25Not quite.
20:25But Cliff Lazarenko, really.
20:27Brian requires 135.
20:28Playing very impressively.
20:301-3-5.
20:3160.
20:32He'll probably come down for 45.
20:34No.
20:34He went for the 25.
20:3599 scored.
20:37That's 99.
20:38And Cliff requires 32.
20:4032.
20:412-16s for Cliff Lazarenko
20:42in a place in the quarterfinals.
20:472-8s.
20:48Next door.
20:50Game shot.
20:51There he is.
20:53Lazarenko, a very impressive debutant
20:56on indoor league.
20:572-0.
20:58He beats Brian Hawks,
20:59the king of the Midlands,
20:59and he's going to be one to watch
21:00in the quarterfinals.
21:03Lazarenko makes the quarterfinals.
21:05Now, with the last of the ladies' darts
21:06first-round matches,
21:07it's between Lancashire's top lassie,
21:09Margaret Lally,
21:10and Babs Evans from Cleveland.
21:12Lally won the first leg,
21:14and now it's Evans at the hockey.
21:17Babs Evans.
21:19With a leg to the good.
21:21Rather, a leg behind.
21:2260.
21:24Starts with that 60.
21:26This is the lady, of course,
21:27who won that first leg.
21:28Margaret Lally,
21:29and she looks terrific.
21:30Now, that's two.
21:30140.
21:32140.
21:32She's got two 60s.
21:35And she really has her tail in the air now.
21:37Babs Evans with an awful lot to face up to.
21:40Cracking a bit.
21:41Cracking a bit.
21:4166.
21:42Well, I had trouble with that last dart.
21:44A single one,
21:44a single five.
21:4560.
21:46Why, this is rat-a-tat-tat stuff.
21:48This is Margaret Lally.
21:48Terrific stuff.
21:4960.
21:5060.
21:53We begin to take off
21:55in the ladies' series of indoor league.
21:5860.
21:5960 scored.
22:00Well, Babs Evans hasn't done badly.
22:0160, 60, 6-60.
22:03Those are her scores.
22:04Margaret Lally has 20, 40.
22:06Oh, 40.
22:08Almost.
22:10Closed to dart through the forehead
22:11of the nearest cameraman now.
22:13But she's won in the lead.
22:15Won in the lead.
22:15140, 60, 40.
22:17That's Margaret Lally's score.
22:17100.
22:18Babs Evans replies with 100.
22:21And this is as keen a ladies' dance match
22:24as you're going to see anywhere before.
22:25100.
22:26She turns with 100.
22:31Babs Evans comes in 21.
22:3441.
22:3541 scored.
22:36So Margaret Lally needs...
22:37100 requires 161.
22:38161.
22:40That's 20.
22:41There's 40.
22:41She'll come downstairs shortly
22:42looking for an odd one.
22:43She doesn't.
22:43She gets 60.
22:45Babs Evans needs 174.
22:47No three-dark finish on this.
22:48Ending on a double, of course.
22:50But she knows what she's going for.
22:5243.
22:5343.
22:54101.
22:54Well, so many shots here for 101.
22:58She went for the 51.
23:0189 scored.
23:02Oh, wow.
23:03Shuggling around all over the place,
23:04she gets 89.
23:05131.
23:05131 going.
23:10Oh, she wanted the 60 so badly there.
23:1345.
23:1345.
23:1312.
23:14We really...
23:16Have the rest.
23:16Two sixes.
23:17That's a single 10.
23:18Two ones she wants.
23:19Top of the board.
23:20Margaret Lally.
23:21No time to breathe in this leg.
23:23And that's...
23:24501.
23:32301.
23:33301.
23:3420 larks there for 501.
23:36Margaret Lally.
23:38It's shortly that lemonade.
23:39That's a tremendous victory there to go on.
23:42And we look like we have got a real star here in Margaret Lally from Lee in Lancashire.
23:46Impressive winner in the qualifier.
23:49Lally doesn't dilly-dally on the way to the next round.
23:52Next week, the names of eight men go into the hat for the quarterfinal draw.
23:56We'll also have games from the next round in the ladies' darts.
23:58And, of course, we've more arm wrestling.
24:00The final of the left-handed competition.
24:03Until then, I'll say they.
