The action has begun at the 2021 Grand Slam of Darts with Ryan Joyce up and running in Group D with victory over Stephen Bunting in their opener.
For Joyce though, he defied a 106.7 average from Bunting and survived a match dart in a closely fought affair which went all the way to a decider but it was 'Relentless' who took the points on the board.
Bunting led 2-1 at the start after the legs were initially shared but missed darts at double allowed Joyce back in to make it 3-2. But again, parity was there with 87 making it 3-3.
It was Joyce's time to miss match darts and Bunting took out 62 to send it all the way at 4-4. Before a 148 checkout was missed which allowed Joyce in for the win.
