Richard North marked his TV debut with a brilliant win and punished Mark Webster, the number 2 seed due to Gary Anderson's withdrawals' 1/11 on the doubles to set up a clash with friend, Simon Whitlock in round 2.
North started proceedings by hitting D16 for the opening leg. Webster had some poor finishing attempts and North smashed in a 145 checkout for a 2-0 lead.
'The Mouth from the South' continued a remarkable TV debut by taking the first set without reply.
Webby finally got on the board pinning D6 to lead the second set. North though came back to hit D10 to make it 1-1 and more missed doubles from Webster allowed North to go on the verge of the second round at 2-1 up.
Richard North finished off with a 24 checkout on D6 to mark a brilliant TV debut for one of the stars of the tour this year.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
