Durrant hits 110 average during outstanding win over Larsson, King produces comeback to edge past West

Durrant kicked it off with a brilliant 6-1 victory over Daniel Larsson to set up a second round tie with Gerwyn Price tomorrow. This included a 110 average from 'Duzza' in his best performance on the European Tour to date. It also coincided with him using his new darts for the first time.

King came from 3-0 down in his tie against Steve West; he claimed a 6-5 victory in which West himself squandered five match darts in losing out. This also sees 'Simply' have his World Matchplay hopes shattered as a result and means yet another player is out of the race for Blackpool.
