Bunting produces comeback to edge past Leitinger, Huybrechts eases past Derry

Bunting began the night with a comeback win. 'The Bullet' came from 4-2 down to see off Harald Leitinger who looked to be in pole position to claim the tie but it was the St Helens ace who hit a 100.7 average and 5/7 on the doubles to win 5-4.

Huybrechts who is the second favourite in the group also got up and running easing past Nathan Derry in a 5-2 win with a 87 average and he will take part in a big game with Bunting next up.

Harald Leitinger got himself up and running at the second time of asking as well. He eased past Nathan Derry also in a 5-0 whitewash and despite losing his first tie, the margin of victory means he very much has a chance of claiming the group still.

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.
