The opening session of action at the
Gibraltar Darts Trophy is complete with
Rob Cross,
Boris Krcmar and
Mervyn King making it through.
Cross survived a scare in his opener only just edging past Patrik Kovacs 6-4. He produced an 11 darter to win it coming clutch when needed with an 86 checkout in a good display on the doubles despite only a 90 average.
He hit a 152 and 46% en route and has set up a second round showdown with Michael van Gerwen.
Krcmar ended the European Championship hopes of John Henderson 6-2 with an accomplished display producing a 97 average, two 180's and an 86 checkout on the bullseye to win it.
While it was also emphatic from Mervyn King as he whitewashed Craig Galliano 6-0 with high checkouts of 128 and 100 as another Host Nation Qualifier fell by the wayside with ease with Dyson Parody and Justin Hewitt to come tonight.
