Mace The Ace completes the comeback! ♠️ Trina lead in the early stages, but it's Mason who is the first person to book his name into the Quarter Finals. #WorldSeniorsMasters
Chris Mason and Dennis Harbour are the first players through to the second round of the World Seniors Darts Masters in Yeovil courtesy of victories over Trina Gulliver and Martin Adams.
First up it was 'the Golden Girl' Trina Gulliver against Chris Mason. First blood was Gulliver's as the 10-time World Champion raced to a clean sweep in the opening set. Despite the fact Mason began to find his feet in set two, Gulliver was rampant and 2-0 ahead.

Mason wasn't done yet though and the 2000 World Masters semi-finalist bounced back in set three thanks to a pair of ton-plus checkouts. In a pivotal final leg of set 4, both players missed darts for it before Mason finally pinned double 4 to level the game back up a 2-2.
After more double trouble in the fifth set, Mason moved in front for the first time in the matchup at 3-2, just one set away from victory. From there, the writing was on the wall for a fading Gulliver and a few minutes later, Chris Mason was a 4-2 winner.
Dennis Harbour faced off with Martin Adams next up. And it was 'the Harbour Master' who took the opening set. Adams fired back in the second to level things up but a ruthless 81 checkout then restored Harbour's advantage.
Again though, Adams bounced back taking set 4 in a deciding leg to get back to level terms. The methodical Harbour seemed to be the more consistent of the pair though and Adams' form fluctuated, Harbour moved 3-2 ahead. This time, 'Wolfie' was unable to peg back to all square, handing Harbour the 4-2 win.

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
