Cross began proceedings by seeing off Daniel Larsson in a 6-3 victory with 6/9 on the doubles as he looks to move through as one of the highest ranked players still involved in the PDC Home Tour.

Searle has been one of the most in-form players this season winning a PDC ranking title and he has also claimed an early victory defeating Luke Woodhouse in a 6-4 win with a high checkout of 146 as well as an average of 98.8.

Woodhouse from there crashed out of the tournament with a game to spare as Larsson capitalised after the former blew a 5-3 lead and missed a match dart. This allowed the Swede to win in a last leg decider.

The players who win Groups One-Four will go onto Semi-Final One on Wednesday June 3 with the winners from Groups Five-Eight set to play on Thursday June 4 before that aforementioned Championship Group.

All games will be best of 11 legs and each night’s action will commence at 1930 BST, darts commentator Dan Dawson will be on hand to talk through proceedings; which will also include live score graphics on screen.
