06/06/2009

Ronnıe progressed ınto the Quarter Fınals wıth a 9-4 vıctory over Mark Walsh. Walsh failed to repeat the form of his wins over Wayne Mardle and Adrian Lewis as Ronnie progressed into the quarter-finals in style.

Ronnie included a brilliant 157 checkout in taking a 3-0 lead, before a 14-dart finish got Walsh off the mark.

Baxter took out a 100 to lead 5-1 before Walsh took two of the next three to pull back 6-3. The next two legs were shared before Ronnie edged a scrappy 12th leg to move one away from victory. He posted another 180 before taking out double 18 and booking a place in the quarter-finals.

"To win my games 9-1 and 9-4 is a good day's work" said Ronnie who defeated Gary Welding in round four. "The 157 gave me a boost and kicked Mark as well. I'll settle down, relax and wait for the draw now"
