Christian Kist battled back from the brink to beat Ted Hankey 6-5 and reach the BDO World Championship final.

Kist began the stronger, taking a 2-1 lead before Hankey found his rhythm and stormed into lead 5-3 at the Lakeside.

But when Hankey narrowly missed hitting the bull for the match at 5-4, Kist seized the opportunity and levelled the match at 5-5.

Hankey then lost his concentration as he appeared to complain about a draft, leaving Kist to coast to victory

Dutchman Kist will face either 2009 Lakeside finalist Tony O'Shea or Wesley Harms in his first World Championship final.

Hankey, the number 15 seed who has won the tournament on two previous occasions, looked to have the match won when he clinched the eighth set to lead 5-3.

Kist won the next set to reduce the deficit to 5-4 but Hankey had a chance to win the match by hitting the bull, only for his dart to land the wrong side of the wire.

The Dutchman stole the set to level the match before completing an unlikely victory as Hankey appeared to give up after he appeared to say that a draft had put him off.

Ted Hankey joins the PDC - talk about being a sore loser

I don't think he'll be a challenger. I always feel that the PDC is of a much higher quality

Yes l am a bit surprised he is finally coming over to the PDC but lets see what he can do in a much more competitive environment but it will certainly be interesting with his at time brilliant darts ability combined with his penchant for throwing the dummy out of the pram sometimes making him a interesting player to watch at times.


http://www.bdodarts.com/1633/14-01-2...to_reach_final

Quote:
Tony O’Shea justified his 13/8 favourite’s tag, scrambling through a tense 11-set clash to win through to the final, shocking Dutch electrician Wesley Harms into a 6-5 submission.

But Sparky, the battling Dutch sharpshooter made a whole legion of new fans with his never-say-die effort to try to make it an all-Dutch final, the 13th seeding proving unlucky on this occasion against veteran chucker O’Shea.

Remarkably the Stockport player suffered more than 10 bounce outs, which prompted a board change during the 92-minute game.

Both players missed doubles in the tense opening set of the clash as Harms fluffed double tops for 64 to move into a match lead, O’Shea blazing back with a maximum and double tops outshot to steal the advantage.

Harms wasted no time taking all three legs in the second set, hitting a 180 and clinching the match-levelling 81 checkout on bull to level.

The opening three legs of the next set went with the throwing advantage, Silverback swinging in to clinch a 2-1 match lead, capturing the fourth leg against the throw.

Sparky led 2-0 in the fourth set, O’Shea unleashing a 12-darter but missed double 18 and then double nine for a set-saving 66 checkout. Harms who had missed doubles scrambled to double one to level the match at 2-2.

Legs went with the throw in the fifth set, O’Shea taking the third against the throw with double 10. He then missed bull for a 164 set-winning finish, Harms coolly levelling with 62, finished on double 16 and holding his nerve to finish off 72 on double 16 again in the deciding fifth leg, easing into a 3-2 match lead.

In the see-saw encounter the Stockport sharpshooter took the opening two legs of the sixth set with double 16 but then miscounted for a 120 finish, recovering to exit on double two after Harms missed double 10, levelling the match for the third time.

The opening legs of the seventh set went against the advantage, Sparky taking the third with the throw, finishing 52 on double 16 after O’Shea struggled with his scoring, He defended his throw in the next, as Harms sneaked home in the deciding leg clinching double eight after Silverback failed to finish off 102.

Silverback swept through the eighth unchallenged, hitting a maximum in the third and clinching a 100 finish to level the match at 4-4.

The opening four legs of the ninth set went with the throw, Harms finishing on 90 while O’Shea replied with 103 and 121 checkouts, Silverback coolly clinching the set with a two dart 71 completed on double 16.

But the Cheshire player who seemed to blow hot and cold trailed in the next 2-0 as lacklustre scoring allowed Harms to steal the initiative and take the set 3-1 to level the match at 5-5.

Play was suspended following the set after O’Shea complained about a draught blowing across the stage – caused by air conditioning in the club. It was also agreed with both players to change the board after O’Shea had suffered 13 bounce outs.


On the return for a sudden death deciding set, both players missed doubles, the grandfather from Stockport easing to double eight. He missed a nerve-wracking six doubles in the next before scrambling to the same double after Harms missed double 12 for 98 to level.

Harms nipped in for the third with double two, O’Shea taking victory on double 10 in the fourth leg after the young Dutchman missed double tops for a match-saving 76 finish, tears welling up in his eyes as he celebrated.

Afterwards O’Shea said: “It is unbelievable, I am so overwhelmed. That young lad (Wesley) has got a great future. It was he who suggested that we change the board because I had suffered so many bounce-outs. He is a real gentleman.

“The draught affected us both. I threw two darts and one went right and the other went left,” said O’Shea.

Defeated Harms admitted: “It was a great game, I gave away the last set. Losing hurts a little bit because the first leg I missed darts to get that leg but I am proud I reached the semi finals.”

Except in the next match play was suspended for the same reason he complained about, the lack of professionalism shown by the staff and officials at the Lakeside has been nothing short of a disgrace, first there was the wrong finishing score given in a World final and now this.

Re: Darts 2012

Remember the draft in the PDC (semi final) - maybe they should play in see-through perspex bubble

Yes hindsight's a wonderful thing to have and l just wonder what could be done about this draft problem as it has reared its ugly head on both the BDO and the PDC side's now and in regards to professionalism the PDC are light years ahead of the BDO.

BDO STATEMENT

DAVE PRINS v WILLY VAN DE WIEL

Quote:
The BDO has been advised that there are betting patterns relating to the above match that may warrant further investigation. It has not yet been provided with the detail but is expecting full cooperation from the bookmakers affected.

The BDO takes its responsibility to protect the integrity of the great sport of darts very seriously. To that end, it has put in place a detailed Code of Practice on Betting and Related Activity (http://www.bdodarts.com/uploads/files/Betting.pdf) that gives it broad investigative and disciplinary powers in matters such as this. Using its powers under the Betting Code, it will now open a formal investigation into this matter.

It has already instructed its lawyers, who are specialists in this area, to assist it in pursuing the investigation robustly and efficiently, so as to ensure the integrity of the sport is protected while at the same time respecting its obligation to treat those being investigated fairly.

As part of the investigation, information will be gathered from all pertinent parties, including the players themselves, the match officials, the bookmakers, and others, in order to determine, based on the available evidence, whether or not there is a case to answer for breach of the BDO's rules. If it is determined that there is a case to answer, the BDO will pursue it vigorously.

Christian Kist won his first BDO world title on his Lakeside debut after a thrilling 7-5 win over Tony O'Shea.

For the first time in the tournament, the Dutchman, 25, lost the first set, but recovered to win four of the next five to lead 4-2 at the interval.

After the break, Kist won the next two sets to move within a set of victory.

O'Shea, who reached the final in 2009, won the next three sets to set up a tense finish but Kist soaked up the pressure to seal a brilliant win.

Not for a while if he has any sense or he'll run the risk of becoming the next Jellie Klassen and once you've jumped you can't jump back, I can understand Hankey or even O'Shea going for one last pay day but time is on Kist's side.

But the risk by not going is missing the chance to try and improve his skills. Though I agree with you that there would be a risk of another Klassen
