James Wade has continued his brilliant form with a 5-3 victory over Keegan Brown at the Grand Slam of Darts.

Wade hit three 100+ checkouts on the way to the victory in a typical performance from The Machine. Also it was five out of eight on the doubles for the Aldershot ace as he extended his run to 12 games in a row.
Smith on the other hand didn’t have it as easy with the Bully Boy only just edging out Krzysztof Ratajski in a decider. Ratajski played well in the early going but ‘Bully Boy’ soared through at the end to claim a brilliant win.
It was a 97 average with four 180's for the St Helens ace in the end. His highest checkout was 89 with 71% on the doubles as well.
