‘Rocky’ roars back to knock out Lewis as Osborne shocks Scholten

ANDY JENKINS produced his best performance in 13 years of competing at the highest level to knock Adrian Lewis out of the Ladbrokes.com World Championship in Purfleet yesterday.

The 35-year-old from Hampshire won 4-3 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time, having never previously gone beyond the second round of either the Lakeside or Circus Tavern versions of the world title.

He had to do it the hard way, for Lewis – protege of 13-time world champion Phil Taylor – made his usual blistering start and led 2-0 before Jenkins roared back in a match played at a frantic pace.
