Davies blitzes ‘Boomerang’ to reach semi-final

WALES’ Ritchie Davies blitzed reigning champion Tony David to clinch his place in the semi-finals of the Embassy World Darts Championship in Frimley Green last night.

The computer engineer, who lost 3-1 to David in the first round 12 months ago, produced an awesome performance to inflict a 5-0 defeat on the ‘Deadly Boomerang’.

Davies nailed double 10 for a 14-dart first leg and followed up with a 15-darter to take the second . He then took out double 10 to clinch the first set. The first four legs of the second were shared before Davies held his nerve to hit double 10 for a 2-0 lead.
