Dom Taylor v Raymond van Barneveld and Ross Smith v Ricky Evans among quarter-final ties at Players Championship 28

We're into the quarter-finals of Players Championship 28 in Barnsley and the draw is looking incredibly open with it very difficult to pick an outright favourite.

Raymond van Barneveld continues to roll back the years, the five-time world champion has sent yesterday's Players Championship 27 winner Radek Szaganski packing, (6-5) to reach the quarter-finals. Undoubtedly though, the inform player of the day is Ross Smith. After a nine-dart leg earlier in the day, 'Smudger' has again produced a mighty performance to blitz Niels Zonneveld (6-2) with an average of over 108.

Recent winner on the Euro Tour, Ricardo Pietreczko continues on, the German has defeated Matt Campbell in a ding-dong battle (6-5). The highest seed remaining is Damon Heta, the number two seed into the last courtesy of a 6-3 win over Martin Schindler.
