James Wade completed a superb week of darting action in Holland but went out at the quarter-final stage, beaten by a rampant Raymond van Barneveld.

The former world champion maintained his unbeaten form in the round-robin stages with a powerful 6-2 victory over an impressive Wade.

The flying Dutchman powered in ten maximums on the way to the second highest average of the tournament - 35.39!

He hit three 180s in four legs, checkouts of 157 and 134 and the magical 170.

His amazing performance included four 12-dart legs and one 11-darter.

Wade notched up five maximums to record a 33.13 single dart average in a match that produced a wonderful display of world darts at its very best.

Barneveld, the defending champion and triple Lakeside world pro champion, went on to the final against Australian Tony David, the 2002 Lakeside world champion.

Over a marathon 25 set distance, Barneveld hit 20 maximums and checkouts of 148, 130, 121, 119 and 110. It brought his total of 180s in the tournament to 54 (four more than in 2003) and the overall total of maximums to 350 - 24 more than a year ago!

David played well enough in the final and pitched in with two big checkouts of his own - 121 and 110 - but it wasn't enough to stop Barney's relentless charge to his 18th unbeaten IDL match in two years.

His consistent high-scoring and clinical finishing was just too much for the Aussie and at times he must have wondered what he could do to stop the charge.

The answer: Nothing!

Barney was simply unstoppable and his darts were irresistible!
