BDO World Darts Championship: Scott Waites defeats top seed Wesley Harms

Two-time champion Scott Waites toppled number one seed Wesley Harms to secure safe passage through to the quarter-final of the BDO World Championship.

The 2010 Grand Slam champ trailed 2-0, but rattled off four sets in succession to claim a 4-2 victory. ‘Sparky’ will have been disappointed after spurning opportunities.

‘Scotty 2 Hotty’ backed up his first-round win over Martin Adams to move through to the last eight, where he will take on Scott Mitchell.

Earlier in the day, Wayne Warren ousted 2012 PDC World Championship runner-up Andy Hamilton. The Welshman triumphed 4-1, despite the Hammer throwing a superior average (95.58 compared to Warren’s 92.69).
