Jose de Sousa has begun his title defence at the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts seeing off Matt Campbell with relative ease 5-1 to get a commanding start in Group F.

De Sousa averaged 95.28 and was highly efficient on his doubles with 4/5 (80%) compared to only 1/9 (11%) from Campbell.

This in a contest which before proceedings was touted as going all the way between the Portuguese and the impressive Canadian who has shown his best at the World Championship and World Cup of Darts.

But it was 'The Special One' who made the best possible start on his first appearance in Wolverhampton.

To begin proceedings, Gabriel Clemens breezed through Mike de Decker to begin his Group E campaign.

Clemens missed out on the second round last year and will hope to return there after taking the early initiative with a 5-1 win.

This after a display which saw a 96 average and 5/11 from 'The German Giant' which made the difference compared to 1/5 from De Decker who hit three 180's but couldn't produce on the checkouts.
