It's always good to read these things Daboi and I've been following you on twitter also. As a darts fan, it's fascinating to read about what it's really like on the circuit.


Just a quick question, if you're on the BDO circuit, is it ok to play in a PDC event?

Great stuff dude. Best of luck in your upcoming events.

it was lashing rain friday night and the traffic was insane.. no buses turned up for ages thats why i got a taxi


on the way home on sunday I got the intervity train from Venray to Blerick, then got on the Ice train to Schipol airport that stopped in Eindhiven. Then onto the 400 bus to the airport..

Everything arrived to the minute and it cost €14


the Hal masters and Open is in Venray again next year. So it was a bit of a learning curve this year.. Ryanair to Weeze in Germany for next time round . then its a 15 min taxi over the border to Venray

Daboi89 into round three in Germany now

The Bulldozer ripping it up

In to round 5 now , has to be someone who can sponsor him and not just for the craic some serious talent there and chance to get publicity too👏👏👏👏

Bad day Sunday

Lost the 2nd round 4-3 to some young dutch kid. A 180 machine he was. I was 2-0 up aswell   

Anyway. 2 more nights at work then the train from Kings cross to brussels and onward to bruges friday afternoon.   Won't be easy. Every Tom dick and harry from England seem to be driving over.


Should start a blog at this stage   

forgot to update this in a while

no word on the blog,   too busy with the travelling


anyway, Last weekend was Bruges. Was played in the Belfry tower so a fairly decent venue. Didnt play well atall. which was f**king horrid annoying after a good performance in Germany. lost on the bubble for ranking points both days. Missed several darts at doubles to win both games. lost them both 4-3

Bank holiday monday went down to south england for a major bank holiday open.. won my first 3 games. then got blitzed by richard north (PDC tour) 4-0 in the last 8. Prizemoney didnt even cover the cost of the f**kin train from waterloo to Basingstoke.

Didnt pick up a dart for the rest of the week

4 nightshifts later and it was an early trip to tallin in Estonia for the weekend just gone. Hit the bed when I arrived as I was f**ked. Up at 7 pm for a quick walk around the venue, back up to the room after grub and watched some snooker highlights. never threw a dart and said it would be what would be the following morning


Next morning for the 2017 Estonian Open. it started at the last 128 stage.. plenty of Byes for the locals (Dodgey enough draw ) Played well all morning and smashed my way through the field 4-0 4-0 4-0 to reach the last 16. I played an english geezer who was fairly handy.. I wired double tops for a 106 checkout when 1-0 down. went 2-0 and then drew one back.. Missed 3 darts at double 8 and ended up 3- 1 down.. brought it back to 3-2 and with him sitting on 40 in the next leg i went 60 60 and f**king wired tops again for a 160 check out . he took out his finish and it was a 4-2 defeat and a 9th place finish.. 6 ranking points and the cost of the outbound flight was gained back in prizemoney.

out on the town then to the main square.. into the irish bar on the square which is now been renamed mad murphys ( Was molly malones when we were there for the playoff) 3am finish there with some decent steak and Guinness to finish the night.

Estonian masters the next morning and i got f**kign shafted with the draw. I got Alexander Oreshkin who has played for Russia in the PDC world cup of darts several times   2015/2016 the latest so fairly recently.. Anyway i played some super stuff and must have averaged near 100 for the game.. i hit 4 180s over the 6 legs and he hit 5 or 6 140s in return so i was under pressure throughout, Doubles went out fairly quickly and i progressed with a 4-2 win.. smashed my way through the field 4-0 4-1 4-0 4-0 from then on and into the last 8

I was then up against the bollox who knocked me out of the german open in the last 64 . World Number 9 Darius Labnauskaus. Lost the first 2 legs and then broke back with an 11 darter. hit 140 to leave 40 after 12 in the 4th leg and the bollox took out 72 on double 8 with the last dart in hand. next leg i broke him back with a 180 140 145 and took out 36 on the 2nd go for another 11 darter. With the throw to bring it back to 3 all and i hit a 177 after 12 to again leave 40.. he checked out 84, again on double 8 with the last dart in his f**king hand.   was hard to take as it was defo another game in the high 90 averages for meself. the cost of the return flight plus some of the hotel money cost was gained back in prizemoney this time and 8 more ranking points. 14 in total for the weekend which im pleased about. moves me onto 24 and around 110 in the BDO Seasonal World Rankings. Hopefully some decent results over the next few weeks can see me into the top 100

Labnauskaus bet an Estonian in the semi final

Then he hosed up in the final 5-1 over an english geezer.. threw no darts in them 2 games like he threw against me. so i have no doubt if i had a shot of doubles against him id have beaten him and won the whole thing outright. part time darter and tunnel worker giving out as he was sat on a double 2 times in a 4-2 defeat to the world number 9 and im giving out like f**k

anyway , back from estonia today.   2 hour f**king delay in stanstad with the crowds at passport control.. in work now for 4 nightshifts then we go again this weekend in Esbjerg in Denmark.. Flights to Copenhagen friday then the Ice train across the country to Esjberg

Over and Out!
