This weekend I stayed in S:t Helens and got a lift back and forth to the venue. Saturday I had Robbie Newland in first round and I won with 6-3. Second round I played Gary Anderson, played a solid game and I lost with 6-1 but the scores is not always fare to the game.
After the tournament I was going to watch my first real rugby game between S:t Helens and Leeds. S:t Helens nickname isThe Saints and which I liked a lot cause my football team supporters used to be called The blue Saints. Real fun and it is a real tough game for sure. S:t Helens won so everyone went out for a couple of extra pints.
Sunday I drew Steve Brown and we both played a really good game. Lost the game, at 4-4 he was standing at 106 and I on 231. I threw my fourth 180 in the game to leave 51 and put the pressure on him. But this time he didn't miss and I got a bad start in the 10 leg so he won with 6-4. He won the board after that.
Monday time to come back to Sweden after a couple of good weeks of darts and good food and one or two pints. Glad I stayed otherwise I would have been stranded in Sweden because of the volcano ash clouds
Next tournament is in Wigan as well and Ingela is coming with me always more fun when she comes along. |

Flew in to Liverpool on Friday and took the train from there to Wombwell, closest train station to the Premier Inn were I was going to stay for the weekend. Arrived about 22.30 after a 40 minutes walk from the station. Checked in and had a couple of quick pints before I went to bed.
Saturday I shared taxi with Robert T, Mark W and Rigsby was to far to walk arrived at the venue around 9 and started to practice. Got first round against Dylon Duo today unfortunately I lost after a tight game with 6-3. The evening we went in to Barnsley to eat Chinese food. Was me, Mark W, Rigsby, Brendan D and we were joined by a couple of more players. Food was great. After that we hooked up with Paul N and went out for a couple of pints. Real nice evening.
Sunday and time for a qualifier for the UK open. Got Tony Ayres in first round and lost 6-3 again. Not a good weekend for results but it was a good weekend overall. Sunday night me and Brendan D went back to the Chinese for some food and we ended the night in the hotel bar with Ronnie B listening to music and jokes and of course couple of pints of lager and cider.
Leaving Monday for S:t Helens were I was going to stay between the next 2 tournaments,
was picked up by Karl and Dawn Holden from A180 darts. Week was good and I had a great time. Played a local tournament on Thursday at Woodlands £100 to the winner, lost in semi-final against David Chisnall who ended the game with a 9 darter, well done and with his new darts as well. |

Flew in to Liverpool on Friday afternoon and from there I took the train to Wigan. From the train station I walked to my hotel for the weekend the Coaching In Hotel got a nice room and full English breakfast in the morning if you wanted. The staff was very friendly. On the evening I went out and bought some chicken chow main that I brought back to my room, it was delicious.
Saturday morning I walked to the venue. It was my first time in Wigan so I made a couple of wrong turns so the walk took about an hour and I was at the venue by 9.30.
Had a good warmup and I got Mark Frost in the prelim. I played a solid game but he played awesome and I lost with 6-0. Left double a couple of times but his finishing was perfect. Stayed at the venue most of the day, did some practising and watched a couple of games before I went to the hotel.
Sunday morning I walked again, I had my backpack on me but I knew the way so it only took 45 minutes this time and I was first at the venue at 8.45. The walk was by a channel, most of it was drained and not that nice but a part of it was really nice. Had a good practice again and met my sponsor face to face for the first time Karl and Dawn from A180 darts. Such nice people. Today’s draw I had Colin Monk in first round and the game was OK, lost 6-5 and it felt ...... Going to work on the Mental thing more, that's what going to take me to next level.
Sunday night I had a nice dinner with Karl and Dawn and their two friends Chris and Andrew, my friends now for sure as well. Then I got a lift to my hotel at the Liverpool airport so I got like 4 hours sleep before my flight back at 6.35 am.
Next stop is Crawley next weekend and this time Ingela is coming with me. Me like that |

Time for a weekend in Gladbeck Germany. Flew on Friday morning from Arlanda in to Dusseldorf via Riga, never used that route before and another airport I can put on my list of airport used. Friday evening I stayed in my room at Stadt-Hotel and just took it easy and read my book.
Saturday I had a 40 minute walk to the venue and were there 8.45 so plenty of time for warming up and preparing myself. I was not first at the venue which normally opens the door at 9 am, this time we were about 10 players. The draw was up after 12, cause they had a little delay and I had drawn Dave Ahmet in first round. Played steady and won with 6-0 and time to meet Gary Anderson for the first time. Continued to play solid darts, was 2-1 up missed double and Gary checked out 120. Then I missed at least 3 darts for 3-2 and of course Gary took his chance and another high checkout. So instead of being 4-1 up I was 3-2 down and unfortunately I lost the game with 6-2 but my scoring is good now I just have to remember that it is the doubles that wins the game..
Sunday I took a taxi instead of walking only because I was late. Got a prelim game against Kevin Munch and lost 6-2 I know what I'm going to practise this week and all other week from now on. Next stop Wigan. |

In the Players Championship on Saturday I lost against Terry Jenkins with 6-4 in first round not much to say about that. Terry went to the final where he lost against Phil Taylor.
Sunday and the Second UK Open Qualifier, I had a prelim game wich I lost against Peter Hudson with 6-2 not one of the best game I've played.
Germany and Gladbeck next weekend.
