The first round is complete at Players Championship 16 with the top seeds through relatively unscathed.

Those include Dirk van Duijvenbode who averaged 107 in edging past Andy Boulton 6-4. Jonny Clayton, Danny Noppert, Rob Cross, Ryan Searle, Nathan Aspinall and Dimitri van den Bergh are also through.

As is top seed Dave Chisnall who took out Callum Goffin 6-4. Luke Humphries though will not make it back-to-back.

He jested in his post match interview that he wasn't playing today and after a 6-3 loss to Karel Sedlacek, he may as well not have done. Josh Rock is also out losing to Stephen Burton in the main two casualties of the opening round.
