Chris Dobey: A new Star is Born!

Hi Guys

Its been utterly fantastic watching Chris Dobey emerge in the Grandslam of darts this year.

Ranked 54 going in Dobey didn't have an easy group with 2x world champion Adrian Lewis and 1x BDO Champion Scott Mitchell  in the mix along with top 16 rated Benito Van De Pas.

Dobey was unlucky to lose 5-4 to the Dutchman but rebounded to beat the 2 former world champions 5-3.

Dobey then had a belter against the BDO's Jamie Hughes and now faces the resurgent James Wade (who looks a real threat for the tournament)

Its always great to see new faces and Dobey has kind of gone under the radar despite having a great 2016 having narrowly lost to Simon Whitlock in the Players Championship final 19  making the last 32 of the European Championship and the quarter finals of the German darts Masters

If your gonna hit form now is the time to do it ahead of the Worlds and if Dobey can upset Wade and go further the prize money should really send him up the PDC rankings!

Good luck to Dobey and well done to all the BDO lads who acquitted themselves well again this year!
