Manley crashes out of World Darts Championship

World number six Peter ’One Dart’ Manley was sensationally knocked out of the PDC Ladbrokes.com world championships tonight by Australian wild card qualifier Simon Whitlock.

The 34-year-old from Brisbane, known as ’The Wizard’, produced the first major shock of the competition as he conjured up a magical performance to win the second-round match 4-1 and leave last year’s runner-up shellshocked.
