Darts: Adams scrapes win
THIRD seed Martin Adams scraped through to the second round of darts' BDO World Championship with a 3-2 win against unseeded debutant Dave Chisnall at Frimley Green.
Adams, who won the title in 2007, led 2-1 in the final set, but Chisnall replied with a 180 to make it 2-2. Adams then led 3-2 and 4-3 before clinching the victory with a double 12.
"That was a hard game, but will give me confidence for the next round," said Adams. "(Double] tops was awful to me – I could not have bought the double tonight."
In other action at Lakeside, Scotland's Ross 'The Boss' Montgomery beat Martin Phillips 3-1 courtesy of a 156 checkout, to book a second-round clash with former champion Ted Hankey.
Northern Ireland 22-year-old Daryl Gurney saw off Garry Thompson 3-1 to set up a tie with Adams, and Martin Atkins beat Joey Ten Berge 3-2.
