Martin Adams and Phil Taylor are on course to meet in the final of the World Senior Masters, after reigning seniors' world champion Robert Thornton crashed out.

Thornton had been fancied by many to supplement his victory in the big one earlier this year at the Circus Tavern, but it was Cameron who secured another major scalp.

Less than 24 hours after seeing off Kevin Painter, Excalibur responded to losing the opening set to make it 1-1 thanks to an 87 finish, and he went on to boss the match despite some nervous moments late on.

Saturday's star was Richie Howson, who beat Terry Jenkins 4-1 before returning in the evening to see off Trina Gulliver by the same scoreline.

Gulliver kept fighting and pinned 100 to take the fourth set having trailed 3-0, but Howson bounced back after his opponent missed a chance to pin a 160 finish and ultimately ran out a deserving winner.

As for Adams, he came from behind to beat Jones, overcoming what looked a difficult draw.

From 2-0 down, Wolfie clicked into gear and will next face fellow Lakeside star Tony O'Shea, with the winner facing either Howson or Keith Deller, himself a 4-1 winner over Bob Anderson.

Les Wallace is next for Taylor after he beat John Lowe by the same scoreline, while Cameron faces Colin Monk following the latter's 4-0 defeat of Deta Hedman.
