Lakeside 2017

Posted: 05.01.17 in Tournament Analysis Blog category

Not long now and The BDO World Championships will be up and running. Here is the Men's Draw!

The 2017 Lakeside World Pro kicks off on Saturday 7 January 2017 with what looks like a really strong field. The draw is below and there was plenty of drama just getting the matches organised let alone what the 9 days at the Home of World Darts will bring. Contrary to some reports it was actually the 5 being mistaken for a 3 (or was it the other way round) that caused the confusion and re-draw.

Anyway it was all,sorted and we have some cracking matches to look forwatd to!
