Topseed Peter Manley was amazingly dumped out of the Skol World Championships by Scotland's Jamie Harvey at Purfleet last night.

World No.21 Harvey, known as 'Brave Dart', put together a consistent display of scoring and finishing to leave a below-par Manley on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline.

Harvey showed no signs of nerves as he breezed through the first set without allowing Manley a leg and it was not until the third leg of the second set that the number one seed made his mark on the scoreboard.

But that was not enough to stop the Scot taking a two-set lead, doubling his advantage with a 116 out shot.

Manley fought back in the third set to reduce the arrears and the Cumbrian won the next as well to level the match with the help of a 103 out shot in the second leg to cancel out Harvey's 101 finish the leg before.

But Harvey showed his true mettle by holding his nerve to edge out Manley 3-1 in the final set to record a notable victory.

He said: "I just went in and did the exact same thing as I have done before, but this time I was finishing.

"I can score and live with Phil Taylor and I proved that in the first few legs at the World Matchplay but the finishing is my main problem."

Richie Burnett was an impressive qualifier for the second round thanks to a straight sets victory over American Steve Brown.

Eighth seed Dave Askew is through to the last 16 after a titanic tussle against Mick Manning.

Askew eventually won in the sudden death leg of the final set and will meet 26-year-old Alex Roy, who defeated Durham's Steve Raw 3-2.

Lancastrian Les Fitton advanced 3-1 at the expense of Denis Ovens.
