Evans and Olde Kalter through to Third Round at 2020 BDO World Championship in deciding set thrillers
BDOTuesday, 07 January 2020 at 16:03
David Evans and Dennie Olde Kalter are both through to the third round at the 2020 BDO World Championship after coming through deciding leg thrillers.
Evans was taking on the very experienced Nick Fullwell who had already had a game on the big stage yesterday when he took on David Cameron and he settled in well to begin the contest claiming the opening set.
Evans though returned to the foray improving his game and settling in himself to make it 1-1. Fullwell was not done in the slightest though and fought back to claim the third set and go 2-1 up as Evans had to fight and up his game even further.
'Stretch' though hit a brilliant 107 checkout to send it all the way to a decider with Fullwell missing a match dart and it was sent it all the way.
From there, this proved the catalyst for Evans who claimed the match to conclude a thrilling debut.
Olde Kalter on the other hand was taking on Nick Kenny; who has been one of the most consistent players on the BDO Tour this year and is the WDF Number One.
Despite that though the Dutchman was 2-0 up in double quick time despite being five points behind in the averages; but Kenny himself let out a roar of emotion as he took out the third set in what was a potential catalyst for a comeback.
It was as he put it back on level terms which meant that Kenny suddenly had the chance to claim it. Despite that though the Dutchman found his top darts again at the right time claiming the decider 3-1 which saw him let out a roar.

- 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
