Nicholson and Jenkins claim commanding victories to open Group Five at Icons of Darts Live League

Jenkins eased past Mark Webster to begin proceedings at the Icons of Darts Live League. The former World Championship semi-finalist produced a clinical display in doing so hitting 55 percent of his doubles en route to a 5-1 victory over the former Lakeside World Champion.

Nicholson also picked up an early win over Raymond van Barneveld seeing off the Dutch legend in a high quality 5-2 win.

Both players averaged between 92-93 but it was the doubling which was the difference with Barney missing 10 darts at doubles.

‘The Asset’ himself wasn’t at his sterling best on the outer ring but hit 5/14 to claim the tie and in the end ease past RVB.
