Gary Anderson who seemingly wasn't going to play in the PDC Home Tour before his WiFi issues got sorted has justified the help that was given to him by claiming a clean sweep to move through in Group 30.
Anderson began his night by seeing off Dirk van Duijvenbode in a 5-1 win - which saw the Dutchman have woes on his doubles missing 11 darts which allowed 'The Flying Scotsman' to cruise through.
A tie against the first of two PDC World Cup stars awaited following that with the two time World Champion breezing past Dimitri van den Bergh 5-1 with a 92 average and 5/14 on his doubles.
Kim Huybrechts was also sat on two wins and was seemingly the nearest challenger to Anderson but he fell in a 5-2 defeat who again averaged 92.
His doubling was even better in this tie with 5/9 on the doubles to go alongside two 180's scoring wise. Having never played an online game before tonight, he has acclimatised very well indeed.
Every evening, the four players will each face off; with each match being the best of nine legs. This group stage lasts 32 days with that amount of players set to reach the next round to play it out from there to crown a winner. All players have webcams set up in their houses and say their scores out loud; to make sure that they can be inputted correctly without any cheating taking place.
With each night’s action commencing at 1930 BST, darts commentator Dan Dawson will be on hand to talk through proceedings; which will also include live score graphics on screen.
All PDC Home Tour action will be broadcast live on PDCTV for free to all registered PDCTV users; regardless of whether you have a paid or free membership.
In addition all live-scores can be followed on DartConnect; with match statistics being available after every match.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
