The Weekly Dartscast

Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the UK Open!

The team start the show with a look back at 'The FA Cup of Darts' and Dimitri Van den Bergh's run to the title, beating Luke Humphries 11-10 in a thrilling final to become a two-time major winner.

Alex and Burton also pick out their main take aways from the tournament, including impressive campaigns from Damon Heta, Ricky Evans and Martin Lukeman, before finishing up the show by answering your questions in the mailbag!

The newly crowned UK Open champion Dimitri Van den Bergh (15:10) calls in to reflect on a memorable weekend in Minehead. The Belgian number one looks back on his last few years on the oche, explains why he started working with a sports psychologist this year, his run to a second major title at the UK Open, and looks ahead to his homecoming in Belgium on the Euro Tour this weekend.

The boss of The Sportsman Management Company, Mac Elkin (50:52), also stops by to discuss Dimitri Van den Bergh's UK Open title success on Sunday night. Mac chats about the last few years for Dimitri on and off the oche, how they agreed an extension on their deal together this year, and also gives his thoughts on several other players in his stable including Jenson Walker, Kevin Doets, Adam Gawlas and Dom Taylor.
