Welcome to Day 7 of our PDC darts Home Tour LIVE coverage.
On Wednesday night, world number eight James Wade failed to reach his usual standards as Ryan Searle progressed to the next round with a perfect record.
Searle came out meaning business with an emphatic 5-1 thrashing against Andy Boulton, before adding Wade and Adrian Gray to his list.
It was a difficult night for Gray, who lost all three of his matches, while Boulton finished with two wins and a loss, including a 5-0 whitewash victory over Wade.

Tournament rules
- All matches are best of nine legs (first to five).
- The player listed on the left of the fixture will throw first in odd-numbered legs.
- Two Points awarded for a win.
- Should players finish level on Points, the Leg Difference will be used to decide positions. Should Points and Leg Difference be equal between two players, then the winner of the game between the two players will determine who finishes higher. Should Points and Leg Difference be equal between three players, the Overall Average of each player (across the three games on the night) will be used to determine who finishes higher.
Scores and commentary
To add a layer of shine to proceedings, there will be live score graphics on screen along with commentary from Rob Dawson.
Prize money
There is no prize money on offer, just an appearance fee, and Barry Hearn is in talks about a similar model for snooker.
