Teenage sensation Mitchell Lawrie continued his historic run at the Lakeside on Friday night, dropping just three legs in a dominant 4-0 win over Francois Schweyen to book a semi-final place.

The pair traded ton-plus checkouts in a close first set before Lawrie sealed it with a 16-darter in the deciding leg.

It was much more plain sailing for Lawrie from there, taking the second and fourth sets 3-0 while sealing the third with a brilliant 124 finish.

The Scot, who only turned 15 last month, once again averaged north of 90, this time a 92.06, and will meet fellow teenager Jenson Walker in the last four.

Lawrie became the youngest player to ever win a match at the iconic venue, pipping Luke Littler’s record he set at Lakeside in 2022 when he made it through to the last-32 aged 15.

Elsewhere, Jimmy van Schie and Shane McGuirk played out a real Lakeside classic in the final game of the evening featuring three-ton plus finishes and 14 maximums.

2024 winner McGuirk started strongly, sweeping the first set 3-0 before van Schie levelled the scores with an excellent third set that features finishes of 76 and 127.

Set three went all the way, van Schie going 2-0 up with an 11-darter, van Schie battling back to 2-2 before van Schie sealed it going into the break with a 17-darter.

Sets four and five were both close but van Schie had the edge, winning three legs on the trot to win the fourth before holding throw three times to win the fifth set and finish with a 97.36 average.

‘The Dutch Sequoia’ will take on Sybren Gijbels tomorrow evening in the semi-finals.
