Mardle reaches last four

Wayne Mardle showed no signs of discomfort tonight as he cruised into a potential semi-final showdown with Phil Taylor at the Ladbrokes.com World Championship in Purfleet.

The Dagenham thrower, one of the most colourful characters on the PDC circuit, admitted after his enthralling 4-3 win over Colin Lloyd that he felt light-headed and sick throughout the contest.
