Travelled to Swindon this weekend and it took me 14 hours door to door. Missed my connection in Frankfurt because the flight was delayed in Stockholm due to the snow and cold weather. Not fun when that happens.

 

For the first time in the PDC the event was going to have voluntary markers for the matches and almost every board had one, I think 14 out of 16 boards had a marker both on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to all the markers and to Dave Ahmet who started this I think it was on the Stars of Darts forum. Great initiative and hopefully the beginning of something great.

 

Back to my game, lost to James Wade on Saturday in first round with 6-0 not fun. Had a chance to take out 130 in first leg in 15 darts in my serve. And I had one more shot on a double later but that was it. James made 6 legs and all were 15 or under. I think he wanted to punish me for our last meeting when I shot for the match but lost 6-5. 

 

Sunday I had Tony Eccles in first round and I won with 6-5. Had darts to make it 6-4 but missed. Managed to break his serve in the deciding leg. Next game was against Alex Roy and I think I had the lead with 2-0 then he broke back and he started 3 or 4 of the last legs with a 180 and he won the match with 6-3.

 

Overall I played steady and my form is getting better and better. Next stop is Derby next weekend.

 

 

Once more thanks to Dave and all the markers, great work.

Home after playing a doubleheader in Gibraltar this weekend. Started on Saturday and was drawn against Steve Grubb in prelim. Was 0-2 down but turned it around to 3-2 up and missed 3 darts to go 4-2 up. After that I lost my game totally and Steve was the stronger and more focused player that game so I lost with 6-4.

 

Sunday morning after a nice Saturday evening in Gibraltar with Ingela I was back at the venue 9 am to meet Paul Nicholson for a training session both at the board and mentally. After a while Robert Thornton joined. So after a real good training session I was feeling real good. First match of the day was against Danny Peach, I started out little bit shaky but I got the game sorted out and won with 6-1. Time to meet Jamie Caven for the first time and I played solid not many mistakes. The mistakes I did was to miss 2 darts for a 6-3 win and Jamie came back to 5-5. And missed to more darts in the deciding leg for the match and left 12, Jamie then had a shot for the match from +100 something but missed and I put in the second dart for the game. A real good win and I played the dart I knew I could after all my problems with my shoulder. Feels good to be back.

 

Board final against Denis Ovens was a great game also even though I lost with 6-2. I played same good darts that I played against Jamie but Denis was on fire I missed a couple of shots to even the game up but Denis did not do any mistakes. He took out a couple of +100 outs when I stood waiting to check out and he ended the match in the same way, 127 out. Denis ended up winning the Sunday tournament and I was not surprised. Well done and all the best to you Denis.

 

Next stop is Swindon in two weeks. Already looking forward to it.

Every year Swedish Dart Federation organize Sweden Cup, it's like Swedish Master for teams from local districts. This year it was 8 teams from 6 different districts. Stockholm had two teams and VDD (West coast of Sweden.) had also two teams. The other was Uppsala, Dalarna, SkÃ¥ne and Götaland. It's played like world cup with team, singles and pairs.

I played for Stockholm team 2. My team was Sven-Erik Lundberg, John Westerlund Ulf Hedin, Karin Fridlund, Pernilla Brodin and our superb coach Magnus Karlsson.

 

This year they started out with the singles and I played my darts almost perfect with my measurements. Still waiting for a 9 darter. I made it to the final after beating Daniel Larsson with 4-0 in the second round. In the semi-final I was up against my soon to be team-mate Rainier Maaninka and it was a real good game where he made like three errors in the hole game and I let him pay at once each time. Won the game with 4-3. Marcus Korhonen was the last man standing on the other side so it was me and him on stage. It became 3-3 and in the final leg he had 62 left and I 135, my throw, first red bull, 85 left and to my bad luck it bounces on the wire. I put the last one in and left 40. But I thought Markus was my friend but it turned out he wasn't. Single 10, single 12 and of course double 20. Game set and match.

 

Felt like .....but next time PAY BACK TIME. By the way he's still my friend.

 

In the pairs I played with John Westerlund and we made it to the semifinal where Ronny Röhr and of course Rainer Maaninka wanted to beat us, they did. The lost in the final against Markus Korhonen/Kenneth Högwall. Well done Markus two gold in one day.

 

Team play on Sunday and the whole team played like a team it was real fun but lost against Stockholm team 1 who one the whole thing. Congratulations. We ended up joint third. It was a really fun weekend and thanks to everyone who made this to a great tournament.

This weekend we, me and Ingela, went down to play Hungarian Open. We were there last year and had a wonderful time. Nice weather, nice people and fun tournament. We hoped for the same this year. This year they held the tournament closer to the City so we picked a hotel right between downtown Budapest and the arena were we was going to play darts. It took us about 20 minutes to both places to walk.

Friday night they started out with warm up singles, best of 5 legs. It was about 100 entries. I went all the way to final. I lost 0-3 against Cor Ernst from Holland.

 

Saturday it was best of 7 legs in the mens single about 300 entries and I started out pretty good. Didn't loose any legs until I was up last 32 and my opponent in that game was Johnny nIijs. We both played OK but I was defeated by 2-4. After that we went out for dinner and the food was excellent.

 

Sunday and time for pairs. Neither Ingela nor I had any booked partners when we left for Hungarian Open but on Saturday I hooked up with Ari Sissi from Finland and Ingela with Zsuzanna from Hungary. Me and Ari won a couple of rounds but lost against the winner in the pairs. Ingela and Zsuzanna lost against the winners in the first round.

 

Monday we had the day of just for sightseeing. Hopefully we will be back next year
