Darts

A overall flat day yesterday with neither double coming in. So I'm stepping up for a treble today!

7.10 Taylor, Wade & McDine treble 11/9 (WON +21.81 - Wade easily dispatched an unwell Jones, the Power averaged a ridiculous 109.7 in beating Colin Osborne, and McDine put in another fine performance to win 13-9. Unfortunately for him he plays Taylor in the next round)
I was going to put Kevin McDine up on his own at 4/5, but with these two bankers we can enhance that to odds against. The Power was excellent last night with a 3-dart average of 103.5, and while Steve Beaton pushed him to get to 10-6, The Adonis did post a 3-dart average better than any of the other 14 players yesterday. The Power didnt lose a leg against the throw and despite losing to Osbourne in Bristol, I dont foresee any problems tonight.
James Wade is still waiting for his first match in defence of his title, but won't allow the second round games going on around him to sway him from his task in hand and he should go through 10-5 or 10-6.
Kevin McDine played excellently last night, averaging 96 in defeating Ady Lewis 10-8, having been 4-1 down. He has the big match, TV tournament mentality and while Mark Walsh blew Raymond Scholten away on Sunday, the Tripod didnt score like he is capable of, and has been struggling of late. It should be a cracker and Sid Waddell will be backing his fellow Geordie, and I expect him to sneak through to the last 8.
