2007 International Darts League
The 2007 Tropicana International Darts League is a darts tournament held at the Triavium in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The tournament is sponsored by Tropicana - a Dutch-based soft drink manufacturer. Raymond van Barneveld entered the tournament as three-times and defending champion.
Darts history was made when the tournament became the first televised event to witness two nine dart finishes. On May 8, Phil Taylor hit his fourth perfect game on television against Raymond van Barneveld and the following night Tony O'Shea matched the effort against Adrian Lewis.
Despite the presence of current BDO and PDC World Champions and four other former world champions in the field, none progressed beyond the quarter-finals and Gary Anderson took the title with a 13-9 victory over fellow BDO/WDF player Mark Webster.

“risk is full: every living thing in
siege: the demand is life, to keep life: the small
white blacklegged egret, how beautiful, quietly stalks and spears
the shallows, darts to shore
to stab—”

“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
