MY OPINION

Lewis seems to be going out of the top 16 which I consider a shock as I thought he was one of the best young bloods when he came out he really does need to up his form. Chizzy lost a tight game but it is unfair to beat him up for that. Former top BDO player Mervin king is now beginning to show himself on the PDC circuit. Darren Webster had a bit of a disaster. Bunting won in a thriller over price. Keegan Brown has shown in this that he is the youngster to watch out for but can he make the difference in this one
