Steve Beaton continues to roll back the years at the Baltic Sea Darts Open and the legendary Bronzed Adonis is now into the Quarter-Finals in Kiel.

Beaton saw off Joe Cullen in a superb 6-4 win to book his spot in the final session with a high checkout of 142 en route.
He led 3-0 initially but double trouble crept in for Beaton after hitting the aforementioned 142 checkout. Soon it was parity with Cullen making it 3-3 with a 47 checkout.
Beaton crept back ahead with a 100 checkout with Cullen not able to hit 80 for the leg and he never relinquished the lead going 5-4 up and it was double trouble for Cullen next time around as Beaton sealed the win on double one with a 24 darter.
He will now face Jonny Clayton who prevailed over Stephen Bunting in a 6-2 win.
This featured 66% on the doubles and it was one of his trademark 121 checkouts that gave him the win.
Bunting was sat ready on a potential 10-darter but wasn't even afforded a shot by Clayton who will look to end the run of Beaton later this evening.
