Really enjoyed the tournament and signs of hope the likes of Caven and Jones can mix it on TV at last and that Terry Jenkins and Colin Lloyd have perhaps been written off too soon.

Have to agree,some may moan about Sky,but the sports presentation is always quality.

Not the strongest field but great that Dennis can still go out and do the business and beating Whitlock and Anderson on home turf is no mean achievement http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0 ... 45,00.html

That's good work by the Menace. Legend!

The official PDC Podcast is now (finally!) available through iTunes
There's also a good unofficial one already on there called The Wrong Bed

Ticket details are now up for the Grand Slam tournament uin November

Am hoping to get to one of the Quarter-Final sessions on the Saturday

Superb stuff. Dennis has gone out in early rounds of too many majors lately.



At last! Been waiting for that for a long time, rarely listened before as it meant logging into PDC TV to listen to it.

Think the prices for the first weekend are a bit OTT (£10 up on last year) especially with 4 women and 2 Under 21's there it could see some very one sided games but hopefully going the first Sat Night and then Wednesday and Thursday nights too but I fear the quality of the early stages will not be good.

Could be some good close matches amongst that lot. Is Anderson's shoulder sorted?

Yeah Anderson has been doing ok in the Championship League Darts although his finishing has been awful and cost him when he had loads of chances to beat Alan Tabern in one of the daily finals.

The double in format in Dublin looks made for Whitlock and this could be his best chance of securing a first big title.
