In the fourth leg, Dobey was on 81 after nine arrows, but "Hollywood" missed the bullseye for the equalizer. Because Rock then missed two doubles, a 14-darter by Dobey equalized the match. Rock scored his eighth 180 in the fifth leg, but missed a chance to regain the lead. Dobey punished this miss with a 104 finish and took the lead for the first time.

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit. There is a glimmer of hope though as folk do now seem to be pushing back especially as Starmergeddon is waking a lot more people up.Mysstree12-09-2024
- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
