Lewis In Ally Pally Dreamland

Jamie Lewis continued his storming run at the PDC World Darts Championships as he booked a quarter-final spot.

Lewis, who dumped No 2 seed Peter Wright out in the previous round on Wednesday, will now face 23rd seed Darren Webster.

The 26-year-old said: “I’m absolutely over the moon. It was so tough to get through that game as I didn’t play as well as yesterday.

“I wasn’t feeling that great today backstage but luckily I got there in the end and started to play the darts that I know I can play.

“I’ve got to keep it going.

“Darren is a very good player, it will be a good game and I’ve got to play well. It hasn’t really sunk in but I’m still going so happy days.”

Lewis produced a 170 checkout in the first leg of the third set as he moved ahead.

Then in the fourth set back-to-back 12 and 10-dart legs secured a 3-1 advantage.

Lewis took out double five to seal the 4-1 win repeating the scoreline from his victory over ‘Snakebite’ Wright.
