Listen "Inside the WDF Episode #72 - Jim McEwan, Lorraine Hyde, Mark Barilli"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, Andrew is joined by three recent Scottish WDF ranking event winners - Jim McEwan, Lorraine Hyde and Mark Barilli.
First, Jim (0:52) discusses his British Classic victory in Bridlington, winning the title with a 160 finish, getting the chance to play in five of the PDC's Super Series events this year, hitting a nine-darter against Barney, success on the Challenge Tour, crossing his fingers for a Lakeside place and targeting a spot in the World Seniors.
Then Lorraine (24:14) calls in to talk about winning the women's British Classic about 30 minutes before Jim, the improvements to her game in the last two years, her darting family, counting for John Henderson as a teenager, going to Ireland and Italy to boost her standing in the WDF rankings and what it'd mean to make her Lakeside debut in January.
Finally, Hungarian Classic champion Mark (39:23) breaks down his maiden WDF title win, getting back out playing again after COVID, why he's never previously produced his best at Lakeside, wanting a return - and a win - at the Home of World Darts, how a shoulder injury affected him during his time in the PDC, the importance of the Riley's qualifiers and why he wears long sleeved shirts when playing.
Enjoy!
