Gary Anderson is up and running in his stint in the PDC Home Tour after winning the opening tie against Dirk van Duijvenbode in a 5-1 win.
Anderson who is only competing due to solving WiFi issues which blighted his ability to be involved earlier on punished 11 missed doubles from the Dutchman to make a winning start.
It is Kim Huybrechts though who currently leads proceedings after claiming back to back wins both again seeing lots of missed doubles.
He began his campaign with a 5-2 win over Dimitri van den Bergh but it was a tie between the World Cup teammates that saw 22 missed darts at doubles in total despite a 96.7 average from The Hurricane.
It was fifteen missed darts at double then from Van Duijvenbode as Huybrechts once again punished to claim a 5-3 victory and double his points haul so far.
