After Phil The Power Taylor complained about an uneven stage last week at Premier League Darts, weve been pondering the strangest oche occurrences. Neftali Feliz Jersey . Sky Sports Wayne Mardle has seen every bizarre event possible throughout his own darts career and from the safe haven of the commentary box.So we asked Wayne about the weirdest... Uneven stages A wobbly stage didnt stop Phil Taylor dishing out a 7-2 defeat to Robert Thornton Mardle said: Theres been many an unsteady stage. Ive never known anything poor at the PDC but I remember a BDO event that I played at where the stage was put together by stacking beer crates onto each other, with sheets of hardboard over them.What could go wrong? Well, I was playing Andy Fordham. The stage became unsteady and started to move apart. There were gaps which created movement. Luckily for me, I defeated Andy and got off!Every time he walked past me, I literally moved three inches in the air as he moved down. It was nothing to do with Andys size, it would have happened with anyone! But no, it didnt help!Dodgy boards Gary Anderson couldnt blame the board when he lost count! Mardle said: The standard of the boards hasnt been great for a couple of years so, every now and again, the players will moan. And rightfully so.Dartboards are made from leaves from a plant in South America. Theyre compacted so tightly that the dart pierces it enough to stick. A poorly-made board isnt compacted, so doesnt grip the dart.Breezy arenas Remember Adrian Lewis dangling dart from earlier this year? Mardle said: We had a famous issue in 2012 when Adrian Lewis played James Wade in a World Championship semi-final. In the second set, the breeze was so bad that they left the stage.A door was left open, and a door opposite was also open. Apparently, the air was swirling in between. Its remembered as Windgate. As one door shut, another opened... Watch Premier League Darts on Thursday at 7pm on Sky Sports 1 HD, or watch live for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.

KITCHENER, Ont. -- Val Sweeting of Edmonton and Brier champion Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie claimed the final two spots at the Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials next month in Winnipeg. Jacobs used a three-point fifth end to propel himself out of 3-2 hole against 2006 Olympic champion Brad Gushue and earn a 7-5 win at the Capital One Road to the Roar pre-trial on Sunday. On the womens side, Sweeting, holding the hammer in the 10th end, needed a draw to the four-foot ring with her final shot and was on the mark for a 6-4 win against two-time Canadian womens champion Kelly Scott of Kelowna, B.C. Scott was ready to score two, but Sweeting made the same shot she missed in the ninth end, which gave Scott a steal of one point to make it 5-4. "I knew what too heavy felt like so I obviously didnt want to throw the same thing," Sweeting said. "We have the best sweepers there and I knew just throw it close and they would judge it, and thats exactly what happened." Scott, however, seemed to have the final end set up with the way she wanted it, making Sweeting attempt a shot she had already failed. "We wanted her to shoot against a couple and probably have her draw. She hadnt drawn in a while," said Scott, who gave up five straight points to Sweeting, including three in the sixth. "But they made every tick, every peel. They didnt give us much to work with, so that was probably best case." Scott admitted that her rink of Jeanna Schraeder, Sasha Carter and Sarah Wazney didnt seem to recover from the two days off that came with having a perfect 4-0 record. She was never on the mark in Saturdays A-final against Renee Sonnenberg and couldnt build on a 2-0 lead against Sweeting after two ends. "We just didnt bring our best the last two games," she said. "We were) just chasing a little and never really had our ends set up, and never really dictated the play out there." Sweeting, who was in a rush to catch a plane out of town, has booked her ticket to Winnipeg as probably the most unknown commodity going into the eight-team trials. "Im very excited. Were really happy that all the hard work has all paid off," Sweeting said of her team of Dana Ferguson, Joannne Courtney and Rachelle Pidherny. Scooter Gennett Jersey. "We played well here and were going to look at what we need to keep doing and what we can do better to succeed there." Jacobs and his squad of Ryan Fry, E.J. Harnden and Ryan Harnden will join Sweeting in Winnipeg. Through an oft-questioned point system, Jacobs had to go to the pre-trials instead of getting a bye to trials. "We didnt make it directly in and we had to do this the hard way, and I think being defending Brier champions it wouldnt be right if we werent there, if you think about it," Jacobs said. His opponent agreed. "Looking back on it, Brad Jacobs deserves to be in the Olympic trials," said Gushue. "You know, if anybody was going to beat us and go there, its good that they did. As Canadian champions, they should be in the trials in my opinion. They shouldnt have had to play this game." Despite losing his 3-2 lead in the fifth end, Gushue and his crew of Brett Gallant, Adam Casey and Geoff Walker kept plugging away and kept the score close, including a steal of a point in the ninth end to make it 5-4. Thoughts of tying the game seemed to get dashed though when Caseys stone caught some debris on the ice just as he let go of it and kicked away. "Its just the luck of it," Gushue said. "He made an absolute honey of a shot on his first and if we get that second guard up and played something with their top reds earlier, we had a chance to steal two. It just sucks. In the last end to see something like that, it was unfortunate." Jacobs, though, put himself in a good position to win by playing more aggressive than he did in the A-final against John Morris. "We played a lot better today," Jacobs said. "The end that we got three, the fifth end, when E.J. made the run back and the perfect hit and roll, I thought to myself, OK, thats what we needed to get back to who we are on the ice. So we really credit E.J. for making those two shots and getting us back on track." So now Jacobs will have to take that aggression out west when he faces Jeff Stoughton in his first match at the trials in Stoughtons hometown. "Ya, I guess hes going to be pretty nervous," Jacobs joked. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL T-shirts From China Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '
