Ted Hankey continues his quest for a third BDO World Championship title tonight when he faces fellow Englishman Martin Atkins in the quarter-finals.

‘The Count,’ who lives in Telford, has already knocked out one of the hot favourites, second seed Scott Waites.

And now the 43-year-old –champion in 2000 and 2009 – is hoping to set up a semi-final against either Alan Norris or Christian Kist.

Meanwhile, Tony O’Shea – the man Hankey beat in the 2009 final – pulled off the shock of the tournament last night, dashing champion Martin Adams’ hopes of a record-equalling third straight title in a 5-2 win.
