Smith claims PDC Home Tour Group 16 with deciding leg brilliance against Evans

Smith and Evans went all the way to a decider after a pretty even contest and with Evans down to 121, Smith was on a less make able finish of 147, it seemed.

The Canadian though smashed in the 147 (T20, T17, Double 18) which as a result claimed him the group win.

Going into the match, the equation was very much simple for Smith. If he won, he claimed the group. Ricky Evans needed to see him off 5-2 or better or Martin Atkins had to hope for 5-3 or 5-4 to claim it himself.

It is Smith that moves on though with two wins and a defeat from the latest PDC Home Tour action which continues on Sunday night with John Henderson and Damon Heta among the line-up.
