Congratulations to Glen 'Duzza' Durrant in defending the BDO World Championship 2018.


Hi Guys

I just wanted to say a BIG

WELL DONE




to Glen 'Duzza' Durrant who won an epic final to defend the 2018 BDO World Championship against the spirited Mark McGeeney who had the tournament of his life (putting out BDO legend Martin Adams in the first round and 2017 runner up Danny Noppert in the second round).

This really was Durrant's tournament (and was my pick going in)  as he averaged 97 for the whole event.

In defending the title back to back Durrant became the first player in the BDO to do so since Martin Adams in 2010 and 2011 and joins an elite list of only 3 players to do so

Eric Bristow (1980,81, and 1984, 1985 and 1986)
Raymond Van Barneveld (1998, 1999)
Martin Adams (2010,2011)

in its 40 year history, and is also only the 9th player to win it more than once.

So whats next for Duzza?  Its a hard one as he has won 6 majors in the last 3 years:

The World Championship (2017,2018)
World Masters (2015,2016)
Finder (Zuiderduin) Masters (2015,2016)

as well as 14 other opens.

I would love Duzza to stay and carve out a legacy by winning the World trophy and going for title number 3 in 2019 however having won everything over the last 3 years and given the level he is currently playing at he may want to go across to the lucrative PDC circuit.

Take care

Luke
