Van Barneveld who competed in the Icons of Darts League last week and didn't have the best of it will have been looking for better this week and he has got that so far tonight by seeing off Scott Mitchell who was making his debut tonight in a 5-2 win.
This was an encouraging start for RVB who hit 5/7 on the doubles - with this area of his game being sometimes his Achilles heel during these MODUS events.
Evans on the other hand continued on from his prowess that he has shown so far in both the first night of A Night At The Darts and in winning the first week of the Icons of Darts League.
He was facing Ritchie Edhouse and in a high quality affair, it was 'Stretch' who claimed it 5-3 with a 107 average to 106 from his opponent.
