Fifteen-year-old sensation Mitchell Lawrie continued his incredible run at the Lakeside venue, dominating Francois Schweyen 4-0 in the process to secure a spot in the semi-finals of the WDF World Championship.
Lawrie's dominance was evident from the opening set, as he traded ton-plus checkouts with Schweyen. However, it was only a matter of time before Lawrie took control, sealing the first set with a 16-darter and never looking back.
The young Scot went on to take the second and fourth sets without losing a leg, while showcasing his impressive finishing skills in the third set with a brilliant 124 finish. His overall average for the match was an impressive 92.06, cementing his status as one of the top players in the sport.
Lawrie's historic win sees him become the youngest player to ever win a match at Lakeside, surpassing Luke Littler's record set last year when he made it through to the last-32 aged just 15. He will now face fellow teenager Jenson Walker in the semi-finals, with the winner earning their place in the final.
In other action, Jimmy van Schie and Shane McGuirk produced an epic encounter in the final game of the evening, featuring three-ton plus finishes and 14 maximums. McGuirk started strongly, sweeping the first set 3-0 before van Schie levelled the scores with an excellent third set that featured finishes of 76 and 127.
The match ultimately went to a thrilling fifth set, with van Schie coming from behind to win three legs on the trot and claim victory. The Dutch Sequoia will now take on Sybren Gijbels in the semi-finals, while Lawrie looks forward to facing Walker.

he's like a prodigy or something! i mean 92.06 average is insane for a 15 year old 
and outplaying Francois Schweyen 4-0? no sweat 
his finishing skills are on point too, that 124 finish in the third set was pure magic 
now let's see what he's got against Jenson Walker... will it be a repeat of the epic encounter between Jimmy van Schie and Shane McGuirk 
... I remember when Lakeside was still a proper pub, you know? Nowadays it's all fancy lights and whatnot 
. Anyway, Mitchell Lawrie is like that young Ryan from '92, always killin' it in the darts scene 
. I mean, 4-0 against Schweyen? That's mental! 
. Shane's got skills for days, don't @ me 
. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go grab a pint and reminisce about the good old days 
! I mean, he's already 92.06 average and dominating players left and right. It's kinda crazy how he's breaking records and stuff, like that Luke Littler guy last year... anyway, I think Jimmy van Schie's win was pretty epic tho 
i mean idk if its true but i heard they got a special deal on it this month where u get like 10 knots for 20 bucks lol that sounds like a steal to me 
anyway back to lawrie dude he's def gonna crush walker in the semis tho
he's only 15 and already breaking records left and right! what can we learn from his story? i think it's the power of hard work & dedication 
even at a young age. we should be inspired by kids like lawrie who are redefining what's thought possible in their field!
! He's like a superhero on the darts 
92.06 average? That's insane for a kid his age 
Lawrie's finishing skills are so sick 
and I love how he took control of the game once it got started 
Now we're gonna have to wait and see what happens in the semi-finals... will Jenson Walker be able to take down this young Scot? 
! His average of 92.06 is insane 
And he's gonna take on Jenson Walker in the semis - this kid's got game 
. Also, did you see Jimmy van Schie vs Shane McGuirk match? 3-ton plus finishes and 14 maximums... that Dutch sequoia is on fire 
! Lawrie's win breaks Luke Littler's record by a year 
and I'm hyped to see what he'll do next 
his stats are insane, 92.06 average is crazy for a young gun. it's amazing how he's taking over the scene, breaking records and inspiring a new generation of bowlers 
It just goes to show that we all have the potential to be amazing in what we do, as long as we put in the effort. 
. And that Jimmy van Schie vs Shane McGuirk match was insane!! 
anyway back to darts... did you see jenson walker's face when lawrie took him down in practice last month? 
looks like he's still got some growing up to do
That epic final game against Shane McGuirk was insane!
