For the second year running Ireland will have its biggest representation at the William Hill World Darts Championship with no fewer than eight players from the island stepping up to the oche.

Two of the contingent are making their debuts at the famous Alexandra Palace venue, which boasts a £500,000 cheque for the winner, with Meath's Keane Barry, at the age of just 17, set to become the third youngest competitor ever at the showpiece event and the youngest Irish player ever.

Heard about this kid a few years ago playing in the local leagues and hammering county players

Burness from co down playing in the first game, great show case for him. Remember Keane Barry playing at a few of the local tournaments round newry when he was like 12, throwing up at the board but still peppering the treble 20's; great prospect!

No great surprise there, but only checked results- Rob Cross gone as well Shocked 

Poor oul Barney, Jaysus ya would be worried about him as a human being. These days, ya hear so much about depression and depression (generally) being a hidden disease, Barney makes very little attempt to hide it, or hide the impact that defeat has on him. 

Hopefully he'll find a bit of peace with himself, his game and his great achievements in the sport from the commentary booth in the very near future, the man is simply a legend of the sport. Even though it only happened once in the PDC WC, he took on Phil Taylor at the very height of Taylor's powers and beat him in a (one of the greatest) world final, there's not too many have that on their darting CV. 

If he decides to stay away from it all, I think most darts fans would wish the Dutch ex-postman 'Ray Barneveld' (as he was when he won his first BDO WC in 1998- no 'van', at least according to the BBC) all the best and thanks for the memories.

What happen Rob Cross - when he won he was unstoppable.
You thought he would be at the very top for years.

Very low odds on MVG. 
Anybody else in with a shout?

Gerwyn Price the only other contender IMO... Great win for young Ciaran Teehan there

does van barneveld suffer from depression?
He seemed very down in that interview
You couldn’t be that disappointed over losing a game of darts when you’re almost done anyway as a player

Not a great night for the Irish lads, Willie O'Connor won in a poor quality game (admitted he was terrible afterwards), Lennon unlucky from reports (didn't see it meself), and young Barry looks an unbelievable talent. 

Van Der Voort had too much for him on the night, but on the form Barry showed, he would have had a good chance against some of the other players lining up tonight, main example being Dolan, who was simply awful V Anderson. 

Michael Smith gone as well, dunno if this is setting the tournament up for a load of shocks, or if it is going to be one that MVG sails to the final & wins it without too much bother like last year. There will probably be an outsider in the last 4, but other than a shock for MVG, ya would the rest of the outside contenders to probably be someone who has been in form in the past & struggling recently to make up the other semi finalists, ie nobody who will actually win it or trouble MVG. Anderson, Lewis, Peter Wright or lads of that ilk. 

Not sure on Price, I know he's in good form, but he's never done a whole lot at this tournament.

First set was there for the taking for O’Connor. Price looks off the boil. Needs to take those chances.

A monumental f**k up from O’Connor. 6 darts with 56 left, hits T16, ends up on D2. Price misses 120. O’Connor starts throwing then at D1. Unbelievable. What a fckin disaster.
