Episode #75: Jules van Dongen, Anastasia Dobromyslova, Francesco Raschini - a podcast by Podbean

In this week's episode, Andrew is joined by three of the players who'll be playing at Lakeside in January.

Jules van Dongen (1:22) drops by to discuss his victory at the Seacoast Open, his whirlwind debut year, advice he took from Gary Mawson, developing a B game, concerns about COVID cases, the nerves he struggled with at the Continental Cup and his expectations for Lakeside. 

Anastasia Dobromyslova (23:22) then discusses getting her first event win in nearly two years at the Irish Open, the return of exhibitions, the new opportunities for Youth players, Fallon Sherrock's exploits, the expanded Women's Series, the increased prize fund for Lakeside and what it'd mean to become a four-time World Champion.

Italy's history-maker Francesco Raschini (49:38) then completes the lineup, courtesy of translation from Jacopo Ghirardon, talking about becoming the first Italian to qualify for a World Championship, how sponsorship from the Italian federation got him going on the circuit, his nickname 'Rosko', why there's a Gorilla on the back of his darts shirt, wanting to be a trailblazer for Italian darts and why he won't be going to Q-School in 2022. 

Enjoy!
