The semi-final line-up has been confirmed on the second day of the Winter Series and Michael Smith is potentially heading towards two out of two.

Smith won the first title on Tuesday defeating Jermaine Wattimena in the final and showed his form with a 109 average as he ended the run of Gabriel Clemens who hit his first average under 100 all day in a 6-1 defeat.

Now a rapid fire clash awaits 'Bully Boy' as he takes on Vincent van der Voort who whitewashed Darius Labanauskas 6-0.

In the other half, it is a clash of two European Tour winners this year in Joe Cullen (d. Brendan Dolan 6-3) and Jose de Sousa (d. Jeffrey de Zwaan 6-5), with the winner set to face Smith or Van der Voort.

The Quarter-Final line-up has been confirmed on the second day of the PDC Winter Series with Gabriel Clemens continuing his brilliance with a second 112 average of the day against Ryan Joyce.

Clemens has not dipped under 105 today average wise and has been on a destructive run and edged past Joyce in a 6-3 win. Next up will be Michael Smith who only averaged 91 but it was enough to see off Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-2, a winner yesterday though, he will be well up for ending the German's run.

Vincent van der Voort has had another good run and is set to face Darius Labanauskas after the pair defeated Justin Pipe and Krzysztof Kciuk respectively. Brendan Dolan produced a comeback to continue another run for 'The History Maker', this time with victory over Ryan Meikle 6-5.

This means that he will now take on a ranking winner this year in Joe Cullen who edged past Mickey Mansell 6-4. Then it is the turn of Jose de Sousa who reached the latter stages so impressively yesterday and he will take on Jeffrey de Zwaan who saw off impressive Irishman, Keane Barry.
