Blue Square UK Open - Round 4

BIG guns Raymond van Barneveld, John Part and James Wade continued their challenges in the Blue Square UK Open on Saturday afternoon as Phil Taylor landed a fourth Bolton nine-darter.

Taylor

completed his sixth televised nine-darter and a quartet at the Reebok Stadium during a 9-1 fourth round win over Scottish veteran Jamie Harvey.

The 13-time World Champion will now face Fleetwood^s Wes Newton in the last 16 on Saturday evening as he bid to collect a third UK Open title and wrestle the trophy from Raymond van Barneveld^s grip.

The Dutchman won his place in round five with a hard-fought 9-7 win over plucky Irishman Jason Barry, and he now meets Andy Hamilton, who defeated Chris Mason 9-6.

Vincent van der Voort, the 2007 runner-up, edged out Colin Osborne 9-8 in a classic battle and will now face former Lakeside champion and his travelling partner Jelle Klaasen in the last 16.

World Champion John Part^s reward for a gritty 9-6 defeat of world number five Terry Jenkins is a date with Wayne Jones.

The final two Holsten Qualifiers, Robert Thornton and Scott Waites, saw their hopes ended by Alan Tabern and Ronnie Baxter respectively, while Stoke newcomer Nigel Birch lost 9-3 to Klaasen.

Northern Ireland^s Brendan Dolan, who came from 8-6 down to knock out Adrian Lewis in a deciding leg, will take on Chris Thompson, a solicitor^s clerk from York, as the pair bid for their first major quarter-final.

Mark Dudbridge, who pipped Peter Manley 9-7, meets Gary Mawson, while Yeovil^s resurgent Simon Whatley takes on Tabern.

Baxter will meet world number three James Wade, who defeated Steve Brown 9-5 in the fourth round.
