The first semi-final is confirmed at the World Seniors Darts Matchplay and it will be a repeat of the final of the World Championship between Martin Adams and Robert Thornton.
Adams was facing Lisa Ashton in what was billed as a potentially tough tie on paper but it was anything but for 'Wolfie' who sailed through in an 8-0 win with an 84 average.
In the early going, it wasn't vintage Wolfie as he sailed into a 3-0 lead albeit affording Ashton chances in 2/3 of the legs to get a leg on the board but he went into the break halfway to the finishing line with a 91 checkout after erasing a poor start to the leg.
On return, he went further to the brink with a key leg being to hold at 6-0 as he went 180, 180 before finishing off 46 for a 12 dart leg with Ashton herself leaving 121 after nine darts and after Ashton missed another chance to get a leg on the board, Adams broke and sealed victory with a 48 checkout from there.
He now faces Thornton who saw off Terry Jenkins in an 8-6 win as he erases his Lakeside disappointment and heads towards a potential second WSDT TV final later on.
To begin the tie, it was a close start with proceedings locked in at 3-3 at the break with both exchanging breaks of throw and neither player being able to consolidate.
On return, Jenkins hit a 180 and 140 and a 60 checkout for a 15 darter to finally hold at 4-3. Thornton hung onto his coattails with a hold of his own at 4-4 with a 110 checkout.
This went on at 5-5 with Jenkins trying to force a turning point in the form of a 170 checkout to level at 6-6 and break. But Thornton broke back with a 64 checkout to make it 7-6 before sealing the deal with a 66 checkout for 8-6 and the victory.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
