The afternoon session has concluded on Day One at the European Darts Matchplay with Dirk van Duijvenbode, John Henderson and Gabriel Clemens all through to the second day in Mannheim.
Van Duijvenbode impressed at times in his victory over Krzysztof Kciuk putting in probably his best performance to date on the
European Tour.
'The Thumb' though came back from 5-2 down to force a decider but missed four match darts in the end which allowed 'Titan' to come back and claim a last leg decider win.
Henderson and Clemens were both impressive as well. 'Highlander' wrapped up an impressive 6-3 win over Ryan Joyce; he averaged 101.7 and hit 50 percent on doubles en route.
Clemens didn't average as much but he saw off his compatriot Steffen Siepmann with a 93 average and 55 percent on the doubles as he aims to continue his form on home soil.
