Painter brushes past Jenkins

Kevin Painter earned the chance to gain revenge for his dramatic defeat against Phil Taylor in last year’s Ladbroke.com World Championship final when he beat Andy Jenkins today.

‘The Artist’, who lost only in a sudden-death leg to Taylor at the Circus Tavern in January, won 4-3 against his good friend Jenkins to secure a rematch with the 11-time world champion, this time in the quarter-finals.
