Michael Smith is through to round two after capping off his group run with a 5-4 with over BDO Number One Mark McGeeney where he averaged 105 in a superb performance. Tonight in the opening Round 2 matches, the 'Bully Boy' faces off against his mentor Gary Anderson who has looked superb so far but he is optimistic saying he is looking forward to playing him and that the fact he is through gives him a massive chance.
"It was a tough group but as long as I'm through that's all that matters - but it was hard to watch Mensur's game and I was cheering him on!" admitted Smith, who now faces mentor Gary Anderson in Wednesday's second round.
"I've got a chance now that I'm through and I'm playing well. I've played well in my last two games and hit lots of 180s so I'm looking forward to playing Gary now."
