Tony O'Shea and Brian Woods have so far earned 3-2 victories.
John 'Boy' Walton and Willy van der Wiel have just started, Walton winning the first leg with the throw. Rab Butler just made his first gaff announcing the score.

Rab Butler just made his first gaff announcing the score. The first of many! Willy through for a possible 2nd round meeting with Ted Hankey.

LOL at the last leg in the PDC final, they both needed double 1 for about six darts...

It'll need a miracle for Whitlock to turn it around from here methinks.

It'll need a miracle for Whitlock to turn it around from here methinks. He needed at a miracle at 0-0 but he always gives it a good go. He's a very underrated player. 15 World titles... Taylor for Sports Personality of the Year!

If they do the 2011 championship this November, he'd be a shoo-in.

What an absolute classic last night between Brian Woods and Robert Wagner. The championship at the Lakeside usually takes a few days to really get going but that match really kicked it into life. A complete contrast to the previous night when Wolfie played Anthony Fleet, who was so nervous he couldn't even hold his darts and ended up with an average below 70.
Gurney v Adams should be a great match tonight.

The line-up for the quarter finals:
Tony O'Shea (Eng) v Robert Wagner (Nor)
Ted Hankey (Eng) v Dave Chisnall (Eng)
Scott Waites (Eng) v Martin Phillips (Wal)
Martin Adams (Eng) v Garry Thompson (Eng)
Dave Chisnall is my dark horse to take the title. He's been playing some mighty impressive games so far. I would like to see Tony O'Shea finally win though.

I'd echo that, it'd be great to see Silverback win it. Chisnall was Bobby George's pick at the start of the tournament.
Scott Waites was my tip at the start of the tournament. I can see him being the next to move across to the PDC.
Daryl Gurney was very poor tonight. Adams has effectively had 2 byes to reach the quarters. Garry Thompson was impressive.

Hankey is looking in ominously good form in his match with Dave Chisnall. He's just taken a 2-0 lead in sets, and Chisnall doesn't appear to have an answer for it at the moment.

Is this the first match of the night, Dan? I only put it on during the 2nd set.

I think O'Shea v Wagner might've been up before it, but I missed that one.

Just checked the website and it looks like one of the women's semis was on first...
