Product Information

I know I’m never going to be world champion because of my age, although you never know… But I just want to have a good go. My aim is to be on TV for one more time. I played him in the final one day in Aberdare somewhere, he wanted 160, he hit the first one in treble 20, turned around and laughed, hit the second, turned around and laughed and then hit double top. I thought, you…no I won’t swear. BARRIE BATES won his first tournament since 2006 with a narrow 6-5 defeat of Denis Ovens in Saturday's Players Championship final.

The Merthyr man went through a horrible spell with gout and arthritis, which left him unable to walk at times. He was good enough that people were still after him to play rugby for them. Everyone I talked to was saying how good he was and that he could have gone on further. John Part became the first player to win the world championship in three different venues – having won the 1994 BDO World Championship at the Lakeside, the 2003 PDC title at the Circus Tavern and in 2008 at Alexandra Palace. The former major champion’s only defeat, and 1st of the week, coming against Dave Prins in the final game of the day, to end his nine match unbeaten run, as he sits on 18 points from a possible 20 thus far.Bates made his PDC televised debut at the 2003 UK Open reaching the third round. In 2005 he narrowly lost a last-32 match to Lionel Sams at the UK Open and made a superb run to the final in 2006 before losing to Raymond van Barneveld. In-form Mark Walsh was defeated 6-2 in the quarter-finals and Essex's Steve Maish fell in the semis, before he came from behind to win the final. He had a spell when he was playing in tournaments just when there was no rugby on or it was cancelled,’ Bates said. I don’t think he realised how good he was. He was very good at rugby, it was at a good level with Cross Keys and Neath and that’s when I really got to know him. That photo at the end, Gezzy’s mother passed away a couple of years ago. I know what he’s been going through, fair play for him to keep him going, when that happened to me, the first year I was all over the shop,’ said Barrie.

After being staged at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet for 14 years, the tournament moved to the Alexandra Palace in London. [1] The championships had been considered to have outgrown the Circus Tavern whose capacity of 800–900 spectators was considerably smaller than some Holsten Premier League darts events in 2007 which saw crowds reaching 5,000. The Alexandra Palace was the venue of the News of the World Darts Championship between 1963 and 1977 and boasts a capacity for 2008 of 2,500. Elsewhere, Dave Prins is the closest competitor to Painter in the Group A table, as ‘The Badger’ sits in 2nd overall on 14 points, with Matt Clark sitting in 3rd on 12 points, David Davies in 4th on 10 points, Mike Symes in 5th on 4 points and Barrie Bates bottom on 2 points. a b "William Hill Grand Slam Schedule".

The Irishman comprehensively came through against debutant Karel Sedlacek.I had gout and I went to see a doctor, but the gout turned into arthritis. I couldn’t put my feet on the floor. Worst pain I’ve had in my life.

Netherlands (Michael van Gerwen & Raymond van Barneveld) def Scotland (Peter Wright & Gary Anderson) 3-1It started around the time of the Desert Classic and I went to the hospital afterwards, and they thought it was gout.

Taylor said "When I was 3 sets to nil up, I thought I'm going to beat him 5–0... If he gets his game together now he's got the biggest chance of his life to win it".John Part won his third World Championship, beating the qualifier Kirk Shepherd 7–2 in the final. He joined Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Eric Bristow, and John Lowe as the only people to have won more than two world titles, although they have since been joined by Martin Adams and Michael van Gerwen. He is also one of six players to have won the PDC World Darts Championship more than once, along with Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis, Gary Anderson, Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright. In addition, he became the first player to have won World Championships in three different venues; the Lakeside, the Circus Tavern and the Alexandra Palace.
