Which he did and is now deservedly out but what a match with Mardle!

I always liked Taylor or Barney to be in the final but now they're both out the excitement hs multiplied ten fold for me with Part the only semi finalist to have won a world title before.

I think the winner of the Painter vs Part match will win the title facing Mardle in the final but Painter winning would be great as both finalists would be battling for their first world title.

Taylor really is pushing it a bit. Three close matches in a row but he's facing a tough opponent in Mardle on Saturday. He can't keep playing like he is and win the tournament.

Well it's all starting up again today in the race to New Years Day not seen any of it today but looking forward to the next week to see if Taylor can make it 14 or Barney can retain his title or if Wade or some other up and coming star can take the title :)

Taylor is looking dodgy at the minute and if he carries on playing like he is he won't be picking up his 14th world title.

Wade is still on top form and has a good chance this year as well.

I felt Walsh didn't have the game to finish Taylor off. Taylor kept pegging Walsh back and at 3-3, there was only one winner.

He'll have to pick up his game considerably, especially as, if he gets past Tabern, he'll have to face Scholten or Mardle.

Taylor once again scraped through against Walsh last night great match I thought Walsh was going to have him.

Starts again boxing day looking forward to it.

The draw for the World Championships is available on the PDC website. The pick of the first round games is Taylor V Van Gerwan. All underway on the 17th December.

Jenkins knocking out Barney again was a surprise but Jenkins seems to be getting better against Barney and Taylor. He just needs to convert that into every other match and he'll be winning titles.

Wade going out opens that half of the draw up but even with a few shock results on the other side, that side is very difficult.

Yes hopefully he'll beat it.

I've been enjoying the darts this weekend but haven't seen any tonight. Have to catch up tomorrow ready for the knock outs on Wednesday.

A statement released today says that Dennis Priestley is suffering from cancer. Hopefully, he'll be okay when he gets it sorted.
