Daryl Gurney through to quarter-finals of World Darts Championship

Daryl Gurney is through to the quarter-finals of the World Darts Championship after a 4-2 win over Vincent van der Voort.

The Derryman will now meet the winner of Gerwyn Price and Mervyn King on New Year's Day.

It is the second time Gurney, who beat Willie O'Connor and Chris Dobey in the previous rounds, has reached the last eight.

But he was far from impressed with his own performance against world number 27 van der Voort.

"I think I was terrible; I was very lucky in the first set," the 34-year-old, who averaged 93.65 in the victory, told Sky Sports.

"I need to improve; I was putting myself under pressure. I had maybe two hours’ sleep last night. 

"The mindset is going to change now. Once I can get a day off, I’ll be refreshed."
