Manley secures place in final

At the Skol PDC World Championships in Purfleet, Essex, the six-times world champion Phil Taylor beat Alan Warriner 5-3 in the semi-final. He now goes for a record-breaking seventh title against Peter Manley, who defeated Shayne Burgess in an epic nine-set-match. Southampton-based Les Wallace - one of only two Scottish players to have won the Embassy World Darts Championship - is desperately anxious to chalk up another victory to equal the legendary Jocky Wilson, who won in both 1982 and 1989. Wallace, champion in 1997, and opened this year's tournament at Frimley Green, Surrey, with a 3-0 victory over his fellow Scotsman Danny Cunningham.
