Schedule: Quarter-final Saturday afternoon at the 2025 World Seniors Darts Championship - Who can keep their title hopes alive?
WSDT
It's quarter-final time at the 2025 World Seniors Darts Championship this Saturday afternoon at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet! Who can keep their hopes of taking the most prestigious title in the 45+ scene alive?
It's set to be a long day for whoever can prevail as later tonight are the semi-finals and the final itself, meaning three long format wins are required for the World Seniors Darts Championship hopefuls.
Richie Burnett vs Steve Beaton
A repeat of 1996, when Beaton famously won his BDO World Championship title at the Lakeside by taking a 6-3 victory over Richie Burnett in the final.
Both players battled through the opening round with comeback wins, before putting in more accomplished and settled performances in round 2, making this potentially the most intriguing tie of the entire round.
Leonard Gates vs Graham Usher
Leonard Gates has been somewhere near his form of 2023 on the Seniors Tour at this tournament. Two years ago the American dominated all comers, winning three of the four major titles, with only the World Championship proving illusive.
In Graham Usher though, Gates faces a very dangerous opponent. Fresh off the PDC Pro Tour, Usher impressively dispatched the much-fancied Neil Duff in the last 16, so will be looking to add another big name casualty to his list.
John Henderson vs Derek Coulson
It's fair to say that if this match had been proposed pre-tournament, defending world Seniors champion John Henderson would have been the big favourite. Derek Coulson though, has been the surprise package of this event, taking impressive wins over Mervyn King and Tony O'Shea to reach the quarter-finals.
Henderson for his part, survived a scare last night to end the career of Chris Mason and is now just three matches away from following in his fellow Scot Robert Thornton's footsteps and defending his World Championship crown.
Robert Thornton vs Ross Montgomery
Speaking of Thornton, the two-time World Seniors Darts Championship winner continues his quest for a third title against compatriot Ross Montgomery in the quarter-finals.
Montgomery came through a five set spectacle against the legendary John Part in the last 16, proving his fighting qualities. Thornton meanwhile, had a rather more comfortable time of things, defeating Darryl Fitton 3-1.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025
