GRAND SLAM OF DARTS

Phil Taylor 18 V 11 Andy Hamilton

Well, Wade was on fire against Lewis. He really likes Blackpool. Back to back final appearances for Wade at Blackpool now.

He'll play Jenkins, who beat Taylor. Taylor will work really hard now to get back to the top.

Should be a good final.

I think that tournament was a while ago, it was just never shown on UK TV before.

Lewis knocking Barney out of the Matchplay was a big surprise and Scholten played so badly that Taylor thrashed him. It means the Barney Grand Slam is over.

That means it's Wade V Lewis and Terry Jenkins V Taylor.

Barney vs Manley tonight in the final of the England vs UK tournament I expect Barney to win although Manleys comeback against King was spectacular so you never know!

Van Gerwin is also looking like a definite big star for many years to come after his efforts this week.

Barneveld is probably the number 1 guy now. Taylor is just slipping a bit and Barney is just destroying everyone at the moment.

Jenkins makes a 3rd final in less than a year and he should win a big tournament soon.

Matchplay is a couple of weeks and Barney will be favourite now.

No real surprises on the second day. Smith V Priestley was always going to be close and Smith edged it.

Hopefully, Mardle has his game working because he'll need it to beat Barney in the 2nd round.

Wow! Hamilton, Lloyd and Taylor all out on the first day. Dudbridge beating Taylor isn't that much of a surprise in a short match. I think Barneveld should go out and we could have a close tournament.

The Las Vegas Desert Classic starts Wednesday. The tournament is already underway in that some qualifiers have already been played. Barney played in the Players tournament before the Classic and won it. Taylor didn't play in it though.

Barney was unstoppable today and only Taylor on his best form could have beaten him.

I enjoyed the tournament as a whole and next month we have 2 more tournaments starting with the Desert Classic at the start of July before the World Matchplay at the end.

If Barney continues his form I expect him to win both or go very close.

No one looked like beating Barneveld today. He dominated Taylor and that was his name on the title really.

Fantastic 9 darter from Taylor. I think that's the first one I've seen live. I was out when Taylor did his first and missed the other 2 in the UK Open. Didn't see Barneveld's live either.
