Rob Cross is the first winner of the night at the Premier League in Aberdeen with a clinical win over Michael Smith.

Cross averaged 103 with a double percentage of 54 percent showing how good he played. In terms of his highest checkout, he hit a 164 on his way to victory to continue his form he exhibited at the UK Open.
The 164 was the turning point for Cross with him stretching his lead from there after being neck and neck in the early goings. He then claimed consecutive legs for a procession in a spell where he showed how clinical he was.
Smith only got one more leg in the match with it ending up being a 7-3 win for Cross after being 3-2. This could be an important 2 points for Cross in strengthening his ambitions for a maiden Premier League title against an in form opponent.
