McGrath faced current World Master, Adam Smith-Neale who only just made it having broken his leg in the run up to the tournament.
This showed with Smith-Neale being whitewashed with a 66 average but considering he came to the stage on crutches he showed courage enough for still playing.
‘The Cowboy’s next year wont be as easy though as he takes on reigning Lakeside Champion Glen Durrant.
In the next game it was also a straight sets win for Wayne Warren who played some brilliant darts as he saw off fellow Welshman, Mark Layton.
He averaged near enough 98 as he saw off Layton with four 180’s and 50% on his doubles as he shows strong early form once again.
