Dracula Versus Wolfie
It's more like a Hammer Horror film than a darts championship as Dracula faces the Wolfman (Wolfie) in the semi-finals of the Lakeside World Darts Championships.
Ted 'The Count' Hankey took out John Walton 5-1 in an amazing display of top-claibre darts to move into the last four.
Hankey, 40, from Telford, finished with a superb 138 checkout as he bid goodnight to 'John Boy' Walton. He said: "I wanted so much to get through the semi final, it means there is no pressure I am back next year. If I had lost it would have destroyed me big time. I have never lost in a semi final here and am not bothered who I play next," .
And Martin 'Wolfie' Adams joined him in the semis by beating Gary Robson 5-4. Wolfie will have to step his game up if he is to avoid being bitten by the count!
Although Adams raced into a 3-0 lead Robson hit back to make it 3-1 before the interval and then won the next two sets as well.
Both players were nervous in the closing stages and missed numerous doubles before Adams hit a double five to seal victory.
