The
UK Open as many will known is being played behind closed doors due to adverse weather conditions and frozen pipes have meant poor averages throughout the day.
In terms of the main stage, Alex Roy defeated Toni Alcinas, Gerwyn Price smashed through James Wilson and Dirk van Duijvenbode defeated Alan Norris. Alan Norton went close to defeating Raymond van Barneveld but the 5x world champion's experience told.
Benito van de Pas is one of the big names out defeated by David Evans. Also James Richardson is out only averaging 66 in a thrashing from Robert Rickwood with a similar loss for Andrew Gilding against Gabriel Clemens.
