Mardle books quarter-final spot in thriller
As 12-times champion Phil Taylor and his protege Adrian Lewis stayed on course for a meeting in the final next Monday, Mardle gave them a reminder of his talent with one of the finest performances of his career.
Nicknamed ‘Hawaii Five-O-One’ because of the flamboyant shirt he wears on stage, Mardle has adopted a more serious approach in matches but still played to the crowd, especially after his opponent, known as ‘Darth Maple’, walked on stage accompanied by a group of Star Wars characters.
