European Champion Ross Smith is through to the second round at the European Darts Open in Leverkusen as he showed his credentials in a brutal whitewash win over home hope Pascal Rupprecht.
Fans were singing the name of the debutant but 'Smudger' soon paid heed to that with a 100.2 average as an out-of-sorts Joe Cullen now awaits.
As well as the ton topping average, he was also near flawless on the outer ring with 6/8 on the doubles and sealed it in style with a 130 checkout on the bull to silence the home crowd.
John Henderson now plies his trade on the Challenge Tour for the first time in his career and can play the Associate Member qualifier. But unlike Andy Boulton earlier, he did not move through to the second round.
Jim Williams who continues to get better proved superior in a 6-2 win with a 94 average, two 180's and a high checkout of 112 with his doubling proving the difference. He now faces Dave Chisnall tomorrow.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
