Some finish from Lawrie there.The yank surely thought he was going to win that set
Lawrie into favorite now.
Heâs on the opposite side of the draw to van Schie and McGuirk but could meet Robb in the semi final. Thatâll be a tough one.
Yeah Big Ben will be a tough one for him
Littler doesnât want to see this fella coming.
Can see Mitchell Lawrie winning at Lakeside for decades to come.
He has a live chance of winning this year.
Van Schie v McGuirk looks an effective semi-final tomorrow as the other quarter-finalists on that top side look less than stellar.
In the bottom half Lawrie should get past Francois Schweyen easily enough but the Ben Robb v Jenson Walker game is a tough call with both players averaging over 90.
The Big Rig brushed our lad Stephen Rosney aside 3-0 earlier and youâd expect him to provide stiff opposition for Lawrie in a semi-final.
Big Ben is his main sumbling block atm.
Big Ben is gone. ![]()
Scenes,the No 1 seed struggling here too agsint the tallest man in the world
Less than 50 tickets sold for some of the sessions at this.
Once this lad improves his cover on the 19s he will blitz opposition, finishing is top class
Mitchell Lawrie hadnât been born when John Delaney ran his booze train to Zilina.
In the semis heâll take on âGrandadâ Jenson Walker who wasnât born when Michael van Gerwen beat Martin Adams in that World Masters final.
As the famous darts saying goes, mol an Ăłige agus tiocfaidh siad go dti an Lakeside (Taobh an Loch).
The dream is over for Shane McGuirk for this year. Averaged 95.26 but ran into an in form Jimmy van Schie, the 6 foot 9 giant winning 4-1 with a 97.36 average in a top quality quarter-final.
Super game, Lawrie was unreal last 2 sets
Should be a great final tomorrow. Couldnât call it on the averages up to now.
Jimmy has averaged:
87.93
95.94
97.36
93.07
Mitchell has averaged:
90.46
97.21
93.06

Poor Mitchell has to compete in the boysâ final first before the senior!
The ending to Mitchellâs semi-final was epic. Poor Jenson Walker sitting on double 16 after 9 darts and Mitchell took out 125 with a bull finish!
The mutual respect between the lads was beautiful.
Mitchell Laurie is younger than my wifeâs nephew who was a page boy at our wedding.
Bloody hell.
Mitchell Lawrie in a right battle with Florian Preis of Germany in the minor final.
Mitchell has just taken a 3-1 lead in a race to 4 but this is bruising stuff and heâll need a serious plate of orange quarters to suck on in the dressing room afterwards.
Florian gets back to 2-3 down. What a minor final we have. MaithĂș Florian.
Mitchell wins!
What a celebration!
A terrific minor final. Florian pushed him all the way and could so easily have taken that to a deciding set. Superb stuff all round.
Mitchell asks his Mum can she buy him another Chinese meal before his senior final.
This kid is amazing. Heâs absolutely precocious and he has bags of personality. He looks his age, he looks like one of the Bash Street Kids and he has the comic timing to match.
If Wales has given up as a society, Scotland is well and truly back. Theyâre back in the World Cup, they have a darting sensation on their hands and I hear thereâs a whole raft of cool, edgy, Celtic supporting indie bands about to break through in a big way.
What times the senior on at ?
4.40pm I think
