The Quarter-Final line-up is confirmed at the Brisbane Darts Masters with Gary Anderson and Kyle Anderson both making it through after victories over Corey Cadby and Peter Wright respectively.

Anderson smashed through Cadby in a surprising 6-1 win given the prowess of 'The King' and lack of game time as of late for 'The Flying Scotsman'.

But he started with a bang in Brisbane reeling off six consecutive legs with a 101 average and 6/7 on the doubles.

Cadby clinched the opening leg and looked good to begin the tie but Anderson responded with a 90 checkout on the bull followed by a break to go 2-1 in front.

'The King' was only averaging 79 and as a result, Anderson helped himself to a 95 checkout to make it 3-1 then a 12 darter to make it a double break.

The icing on the cake was delivered with Anderson smashing in a 106 checkout to make it 5-1 and go one away from a rout. He completed the job to send him the Aussie ace and send a message out to the rest of the players in the field.

Kyle Anderson edged out Wright in a close affair which went to a deciding leg. Wright will know that he missed a golden opportunity with him missing five match darts en route.

'The Original' punished as a result to claim an unlikely win based on form as he delighted the home crowd. Anderson as he so often does started brilliantly and hit a 108 and 156 checkout back to back to make it 3-0 and give Wright some food for thought.

Wright answered them and pegged it back to 3-2 but Anderson pounced on missed doubles again to make it 4-3. Anderson made a mess of closing out the tie and this gave Wright the chance to go 5-4 up.

It was 'Snakebite's turn though to make a mess of it and he squandered three match darts allowing Anderson to send it the distance. It looked like Wright was going to win it in the decider but he missed further match darts and Anderson made no mistake to claim the win.
