Joe Cullen is successfully through to the second round of the World Grand Prix after a superb win over Damon Heta 2-1 as he continues his form over 'The Heat' who he also defeated at the World Matchplay.
Cullen started with a 112 checkout which Heta followed with a 120 but he missed darts to go 2-1 up and the former broke to go one away from the opening set. He had set darts and ‘The Heat’ turned it with an 86 checkout on the bull.
But a poor decider from Heta saw Cullen set up from 170 and hit double 16 to go 1-0 up. Heta doubled his lead though with a 115 checkout as he looked to send the match to a deciding set.
Double six saw Heta make it 1-1 in sets. Heta missed 98 on double nine and Cullen pounced to hold at 1-1. He missed 116 to go one away but returned with Heta unable to hit 170 and then a last dart double eight to seal the win.
