Despite that 'Madhouse' came through with a 97.2 average and a high of his own in the form of 116 in a good start for the multiple Challenge Tour winner.

Evans also made a strong start to proceedings seeing off Martin Adams in a 5-2 win hitting a 94.6 average and 5/8 on the doubles in claiming the tie.
