The first round has begun at the New Zealand Darts Masters in Hamilton with Joe Cullen and Jonny Clayton easing through to Saturday's Quarter-Finals.
Clayton was first up facing Mal Cuming who fell to Fallon Sherrock last time out and as he looks for back-to-back World Series titles, 'The Ferret' prevailed 6-1.
This was despite not being at his best with an 88 average, two 180's and 6/16 on the doubles but this was ten points more than his opponent who hit only 1/7 and as a result, it was simple for the Welshman in the end.
On paper, Cullen faced a much tougher tie as he faced Damon Heta who again received another rough draw and it was a 6-2 win for 'The Rockstar' who continues to impress on the World Series.
It was a clinical display from Cullen who went 3-1 up with a 120 checkout before consolidating his break of throw with a 56 checkout.
Heta held but Cullen went one away with a 67 checkout on double four before sealing the deal with an 11-darter as he concluded with a 94 average and 50% on his doubles.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
