Martin Adams beats Gary Robson 5-4 in another Wolfie thriller! He's in the semi-finals for the 5th year in a row.

Here's the official line-up for the semi-final:
Tony O'Shea v Darryl Fitton Ted Hankey v Martin Adams
I'm reckoning on a Fitton/Hankey final.

50% correct. The Silverback v a vampire. Sounds like a film concept.

Quite surprised but pleased that O'Shea got through. I think Hankey will win though, he seems to have rediscovered some of his best form.

I'd have predicted a Fitton-Hankey final, too.
Hankey's probably played the best darts throughout the tournament but I'd like to see O'Shea win it.

Ted Hankey has won the World title with a 7-6 victory. I feel he should have sewn it up at the end of the previous set but seemed to encounter a bit of double trouble. Nevertheless, I would say the best player throughout the tournament won it.

What a great final. Hankey deserves it but O'Shea just wouldn't lay down.
I believe Hankey has broken the record for the longest gap between consecutive world titles...

Taylor and Barney are in a league of their own. Take them away and I don't think there's much between PDC and BDO.
These were the tournament averages for the last 8 in each tournament:
PDC Taylor 105.31 Barneveld 100.05 Klaasen 94.05 Stompe 93.31 King 91.71 Nicholson 91.40 Bates 88.30 Wade 87.91
BDO Adams 92.83 Robson 92.59 Anderson 92.46 Fitton 92.29 Hankey 92.20 Waites 91.12 O'Shea 90.68 Walton 88.36

I guess Phil and, to a lesser extent, Barneveld, have raised the bar so high they make an early-mid 90s average look, well, average.

And Stompe and Klaasen barely got within sight of doubles in the quarters, which would add a bit to their averages.

Robert Thornton has booked his place in the final of the coral.co.uk Players Championship with a great 13-10 victory over James Wade. He'll face either Phil Taylor or Ronnie Baxter.
