Jenkins first into World Seniors Darts Championship semi-finals after defeating Walton

Terry Jenkins is the first player through to the semi-finals of the inaugural World Seniors Darts Championship after seeing off John Walton in a 3-1 win.

Jenkins pounced on multiple missed set darts to force a decider to win through in a back and forth affair as he backs up his victory from this afternoon against Lisa Ashton.

He got off to a flier in the tie as like against Ashton this afternoon, he breezed through the opening set without reply.

But Walton got into the game and pinned his first 180 en route to a 3-1 second set to restore parity in the tie.

He missed two set darts though which would have seen him claim a 2-1 lead and it was Jenkins who pounced hitting double five in the decider.

Beginning with the impetus in the final set, Walton was 2-1 up but a 135 from Jenkins was the catalyst and he sent it to a decider but it could have gone all the way.

Jenkins was given a golden opportunity to claim it as despite hitting a 180, Walton couldn't claim the set and handed 'The Bull' multiple darts at double 15.

He missed first time round but after Walton hit single 15 when going for two, double four, he claimed it.
