Gurney survived three match darts on his way to the win against Ryan Searle. It was a 97 average with 60% on the doubles for ‘Superchin’.
Wade safely progressed through with a win over the dangerous Nathan Aspinall. He ended up with a 6-4 win with four 180’s and a 98 average in what was a typical Wade performance.
Bunting had to survive a valiant comeback from Madars Razma on stage two. 'The Bullet' led 5-2 and his opponent came close to forcing a deciding leg. Despite that though the St Helens ace got over the line after a nervy tenth leg.
Gabriel Clemens then got over the line in a close clash with James Wilson. Clemens produced a 101 finish in the decider to see off Wilson.
