Whitewash Harsh on The Hitman

'Mount': 4
'The Hitman': 0

If ever a 4-0 scoreline proved an unfair reflection of a match, this was surely it. Poor finishing from both players detracted from a really good and even contest. The opening leg of the match was somewhat typical of this point with both players locked firmly in the mad-house, tediously scrapping away for an early score. Mount finally hit double 1 after letting slip a lead of 150. Will had more darts at doubles in both the second and third legs, and could well have wrapped up the game himself with one leg to spare. However, Mount did just enough to stop the Hitman coming back into the match by taking these legs just when the momentum was starting to turn, finishing strongly in the fourth to take match 4-0.
