Kist to face O’Shea in the BDO grand finale
Christian Kist, continuing his established convention of some excellent darts play, was finally able to secure his place in the grand finale of the BDO event. He defeated the two-time former darts champion, Ted Hankey.
In the event that took place at Lakeside, a series of unpredictable incidents occurred throughout the championship.
Another such instance was when the 25-year-old road worker from Netherlands, Kist, finally made his way into the finale of the grand BDO event.
Against him is Tony O’Shea, who secured his position in the finale of the event after defeating the hot favourite, Martin Adams, and then Wesley Harms by 6-5.
It is not O’Shea but Kist who has been the centre and focus of attention, especially after he was able to defeat Ted Hankey in the semis by 6-5 at Frimley Green.
It was the encounter that raised many eyebrows about the performance Kist has the potential to demonstrate in later years to come.
Some have started comparing him as an ideal competitor and opponent against the current darts champion, Adrian Lewis.
Both players qualifying for the finale have been able to accomplish some major upsets that further encouraged their presence in the finale. Be it Kist facing Hankey or O’Shea chucking Harms out from the race to BDO glory.
According to pundits, Kist, who is currently ranked as the 13th best player of darts in his homeland, has the perfect opportunity to give his career in the sport an enormous breakthrough.
O’ Shea, on the other hand, has the ability of effectively holding his nerve during the game as he has proved in his battle against Harms.
However, the frenzy and fervour of the finale is yet another challenge lying at O’Shea end. How effectively he will face and control it will definitely be worth watching.
Meanwhile, all darts fanatics have crossed their fingers to witness a somewhat unique battle in the history of darts.
A match where one has the advantage of age and experience, whereas the other simply has the benefit that he has nothing to lose at his end.
This will certainly be able to add a new dimension and angle to the excitement and exhilaration in the game of darts.
