DOUBLE TOP - BDO LAKESIDE 2014 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO 'STEVE THE BULLET BUNTING' WHO HAS JUST BEATEN ALAN 'CHUCK' NORRIS TO CLAIM THE 2014 LAKESIDE WORLD CHAMPION TITLE.

PURISTS MAY CONSIDER THAT THE BDO IS BUT A POOR RELATION TO THE DARTS AVAILABLE ON SKY SPORTS. HOWEVER, (1) I DON'T HAVE SKY SPORTS, OR RATHER MS MITHRIL WILL ONLY PAY FOR THE BASIC SKY PACKAGE AND (2) I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THE BDO THE LAST FEW WEEKS SO DON'T FEEL I AM MISSING OUT ON ANYTHING.

THERE'S PLENTY MORE BDO ACTION COMING UP - WHY NOT HAVE A LOOK:

DOUBLE TOP WENT OUT TO THE FOLLOWING:

THE OLD WELL, BARNARD CASTLE
THE HALF MOON, DARLINGTON
THE SHIP, MIDDLESTONE VILLAGE
THE CROWN, MANFIELD
THE BLACK BULL, MELSONBY
THE BRIDGE, WHORLTON
