WORLD Darts Championship action has returned after a short Christmas break – and there are several blockbuster matches on show at Ally Pally!
Damon Heta hit a NINE DARTER in today’s opening clash, but the Aussie ace went on to lose to Luke Woodhouse.
While Stephen Bunting beat Latvian star Madars Ramza 4-1 in the headline match of the afternoon session.
Gerwyn Price and Joe Cullen kicked off the evening session with a bang as the Ice Man edged a seven-set thriller.
Later, defending champion Luke Humphries plays Welshman Nick Kenny to cap a big night of action.
This means that fans will have to wait until Saturday to see teen sensation Luke Littler in third-round action against Ian White.
