Barneveld and Taylor Move to Semis
PHIL TAYLOR cruised into the semi-finals of the StanJames.com World Matchplay with a 16-4 defeat of Kevin Painter on Friday night, while Raymond van Barneveld ended his quarter-final hoodoo at the Winter Gardens.
Taylor, the reigning and ten-time World Matchplay champion, rarely broke sweat in a clinical demolition of Painter, who was restricted to only four legs and few more chances at a double.

Phil Taylor versus Kevin Painter is usually an entertaining match for one reason or another, and today’s action was more of the same.
Taylor pulled ahead 2-0 and with thoughts of another whitewashing on people’s minds, when Painter closed out on bullseye to grab a leg and make it 2-1.

Barney moves into the semi-final round with a 16-12 win over Dutch opponent Co Stompe. No shame for Stompe at the loss though as this was a back and forth battle from the beginning with both darters jockeying for the lead throughout the match.
