First up it was 'the Golden Girl' Trina Gulliver against Chris Mason. First blood was Gulliver's as the 10-time World Champion raced to a clean sweep in the opening set. Despite the fact Mason began to find his feet in set two, Gulliver was rampant and 2-0 ahead.

Mason wasn't done yet though and the 2000 World Masters semi-finalist bounced back in set three thanks to a pair of ton-plus checkouts. In a pivotal final leg of set 4, both players missed darts for it before Mason finally pinned double 4 to level the game back up a 2-2.
After more double trouble in the fifth set, Mason moved in front for the first time in the matchup at 3-2, just one set away from victory. From there, the writing was on the wall for a fading Gulliver and a few minutes later, Chris Mason was a 4-2 winner.
Dennis Harbour faced off with Martin Adams next up. And it was 'the Harbour Master' who took the opening set. Adams fired back in the second to level things up but a ruthless 81 checkout then restored Harbour's advantage.
Again though, Adams bounced back taking set 4 in a deciding leg to get back to level terms. The methodical Harbour seemed to be the more consistent of the pair though and Adams' form fluctuated, Harbour moved 3-2 ahead. This time, 'Wolfie' was unable to peg back to all square, handing Harbour the 4-2 win.

- I hope Phil doesn't return. Watching him the seniors was embarrassing,and he should bow out,and let everyone remember what a legend he is.rick6716-09-2026
- What a nice comment by Wade. Top bloke.BandB15-09-2026
- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
