James Wade impressed in the second round of the
European Darts Matchplay. 'The Machine' defeated Jonny Clayton 6-3 in a particularly high-profile match.
Clayton achieved 106 average, Wade did even better with 107.37. "The crowd have been really good. They're helping me enjoy darts and when the crowd help players enjoy, it's a bloody easier game that's for sure."
"Jonny is a great player he can outscored anyone," Wade continues. "I was quite fortunate that I was just a little bit better than him today and I won."
New walk-on song
Wade recently had a new rise song with Elton John's "I'm Still Standing". "I've been playing darts for 20-odd years and I'm still enjoying it. In fact, I'm enjoying it more now than I have done for years. I'm completely honest with it all, sometimes I struggle but at the moment I'm enjoying things and it's great to be here!"
