Evetts snatches deciding leg win over Murray, Smith-Neale and Hunt ease through

The first round continues at the Gibraltar Darts Trophy with Ted Evetts, Adam Smith-Neale and Adam Hunt through to the second day of action.

Evetts was involved in the toughest test of the trio recovering from 5-3 and surviving five match darts to edge past Ryan Murray in a decider.

He did so with a flourish pinning a 108 checkout booking his place in the second round as a result.

Now Dirk van Duijvenbode will await for 'Super Ted' with the hopes that this close test will stand him in good stead.
