Jeffrey de Zwaan and Chris Dobey are through to the second round at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy in the opening two games of the evening session.

De Zwaan claimed a 6-3 victory over Steve West with a 96 average to end West's hopes of qualifying for the European Championship.
There was some needle between the pair though with 'Simply' seemingly shaking his head every time 'The Black Cobra' went to the table for some water and he didn't shake his hand after.
Dobey saw off William O'Connor with a 6-4 win with an 85.19 average and a 35 percent on doubles which was the difference between the pair.
O'Connor was just behind on 33 percent on what was a tough contest throughout but it is 'Hollywood' who moves through and puts O'Connor's hopes of making it to Gottingen in doubt.
