The opening round has began at
Players Championship 21 with Peter Wright, Damon Heta, Joe Cullen, Michael Smith and Rob Cross moving through.
Wright averaged 102 in seeing off Bradley Brooks 6-2 in a day that will be match practice as he will definitely keep hold of top billing at the World Matchplay, while for Smith it could be a day where he could grab number three seeding from Michael van Gerwen and to start the day, it was a 6-3 win over Ross Montgomery.
While Heta was one of the standouts with 106 in easing past Krzysztof Kciuk. Joe Cullen saw off Steve West 6-3, while Cross defeated William Borland 6-5.
Only seeds to fall early include Daryl Gurney, Martin Schindler, Ryan Searle and Scott Williams with the latter installed today due to Luke Humphries receiving a bye.
