Mitchell survives late comeback to defeat Bennett, Hogarth eases past Tricole
BDOTuesday, 07 January 2020 at 23:06
Two more players are into the third round to end the fourth day at the 2020 BDO World Championship with Scott Mitchell and Ryan Hogarth making it through.
Mitchell was facing off against Leighton Bennett in a highly talked about game but it was experience which prevailed in the end for the former World Champion who claimed a 3-1 win.
'Scotty Dog' claimed the first set for a 116 checkout to take a 1-0 lead. By the second set, Bennett was sinking fast and was throwing well but had yet to claim a leg.
This all changed though with 'Boom Boom' claiming the next set and rattling Mitchell as a result. Despite that the latter found an extra gear to ease past Bennett.
In Hogarth against Tricole, it was a scrappy game but it was the former that saw off the Frenchman in a 3-1 victory.
Tricole missed a lot of chances throughout the tie and was punished for it allowing 'The Headhunter' to make light work of his opponent and move through to the Last 16 where he will face Jim Williams.

- 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
