Dobromyslova not at best but through after victory over Prins, Veenstra edges past Hood
BDOTuesday, 07 January 2020 at 17:41
Anastasia Dobromyslova and Richard Veenstra are both through as the latest session of action at the 2020 BDO World Championship is complete.
Dobromyslova didn't play up to her usual standards but neither did Sharon Prins and as a result, she came through in a 2-0 victory.
Prins kicked off proceedings claiming the first leg but from there Dobromyslova took the set with legs ranging from 19 to 26 darts.
The next set went to a decider but the multiple World Champion saved her best leg for the end of the match hitting an 18 darter when it mattered to move through to the Quarter-Finals.
Veenstra also moved through with victory over Justin Hood who had impressed in his first round tie. 'Flyers' flew into the lead winning the first two legs but Hood forced a decider which Veenstra claimed.
He followed that up with finishes of 127 and 145 to claim the second set. Hood returned strongly after the break, he added to his six 180's and claimed the third set but this revival didn't last long with Veenstra taking the match and setting up a tie with David Evans next.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
