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.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
