The evening started with a close game between two youth
players, before the experienced John Walton once again put in a good
performance in an England shirt with a 32.67 average.
The first ladies game of the night saw Rilana Erades facing Trina Gulliver
(this was a repeat of their match in the England v Netherlands match last
year) and for the second year running it was Rilana who was victorious,
including shots out of 116 and 80.
The outstanding
match of the session was the fifth game as Ricky Evans was moved into the
senior team for the first time, in place of Andy Fordham who was unwell,
however Ricky was completely at home as he beat the experienced Andreas
Krockel in legs of 16, 12 & 14 to give him a 35.79 average, equalling Kev
Simm's in the afternoon session and it could have been better as he missed
two darts at a double.
The match had been very close
all the way through but a win by Martin Atkins in the final game of the day
ensured that they finished the day 11 - 10 ahead.
"A Leg With Bobby
starring Suzanne Nixon"
Suzanne Nixon, wife of Phill won the chance to play against Bobby George,
but despite Suzanne taking the darts of most of the England team on stage
with her, Bobby just managed to win the leg.

The match of the day so far has come from Kev Simm, who
marked his first England appearance with winning legs of 12, 15 & 15 darts
to record a fantastic 35.79 average, the twelve dart was concluded with a
138 shot out.
In the first youth match David Pallett had a great win
over the reigning World Cup youth champion.
England
men's Captain Martin Adams had a 31.98 average in a match that saw him set a
new appearance record for the England team.
Robert
Wagner had the first 30 plus average for the European team.
Reigning Ladies Winmau Masters champion was involved in a great match
with Lisa Ashton that meant the overall score was level at 5 - 5 after
England had taken a 5 - 0 lead.
A win from Geert De Vos meant that Europe took the lead 6
- 5 into the evening session.
Saturday 22nd March Results
The players in attendance have between them won 10
Lakeside/Embassy World Professional titles, 10 Winmau World Masters titles,
7 World Cup Singles titles, 7 Europe Cup Singles titles, 11 World Cup Pairs
titles, 10 World Cup Team winners, 11 Europe Cup Pairs titles,
