JAMES WADE maintained his good run of form with a 7-2 victory over Robert Thornton in a Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts Challenge Match in Aberdeen.
The absence of Wayne Mardle saw Scottish star Thornton drafted in to face Wade, who had hit a 108 average, the highest of this year's event so far, in a win over Terry Jenkins last week.
And he continued that form at the AECC, hitting seven maximums and a 105 average to hand Thornton a Premier League lesson.
Wade silenced the Scottish crowd by opening the game with a 180, and took the first leg in 12 darts with an 81 finish.
Thornton levelled in the second, but Wade edged in front with a 116 finish to win the next and hit two maximums in a 13-darter to break throw and leade 3-1.
He hit another 180 in a second successive 13-dart finish to pull three legs clear, although Thornton hit back to reduce the gap to 4-2 at the break, with a 168 score setting up a double four finish.
Wade returned from the break with a second 116 checkout of the game, and another 180 set up a double 18 finish as he went 6-2 up.
Three missed doubles from Thornton came back to haunt him in the next, as Wade sealed the win on double ten.
