GARY ANDERSON not only kept his unbeaten run going, but lived up to his ‘Dreamboy’ nickname with a dream quarter final against James Wade. He won 6-3, with yet another 30 plus single dart average that included a magnificent 12 maximums! After the first 5 sets Anderson’s single dart average was an incredible 38!
But it was left to TONY O’SHEA to pull off the win of the quarter finals with an impressive 6-4 triumph over defending IDL Champion Raymond Barneveld.
Barney was favourite to progress to the Semi-Finals, and when Tony went 3-1 down early in the match, it looked ominous for the England International. However, Tony levelled at 4-4 after the interval and then won the last two sets in imperious style.
It was a great win –probably the sweetest of his career - and made even more so by the fact that the sponsors, Opel Nederland, presented him with the keys to a brand new Tigra convertible (valued at 25,000 Euros) to mark his 46th birthday 9-darter on Wednesday night.
Having already presented Phil Taylor with the same car on Tuesday night when he hit the first 9-darter in this year’s IDL, the sponsors made it a unique ‘double’ to not only celebrate Tony’s
9 darter, but also his memorable win over Raymond Barneveld.
It was left to the sole PDC player left in the 2007 IDL, Adrian Lewis, to try to salvage some pride, and that’s just what he did with a 6-2 victory over Darryl Fitton, who just couldn’t find any rhythm on the night.
Completing a great night of darts in some considerable style, Mark Webster, the 23 year-old Welsh left-hander, maintained his marvellous unbeaten IDL debut with a conclusive 6-2 victory over England’s Gary Robson,
