Wolfie Off To A Win

Defending champion Martin Adams cruised into the second round of the BDO World Championship with a 3-0 victory over Scott Mitchell at Frimley Green.

The top seed, 55, who is looking to match Eric Bristow's record of three successive triumphs and is also seeking his fourth Lakeside crown overall having first been victorious in 2007, overcame a few scares before beating his fellow Englishman in just 26 minutes.
He told www.dartswdf.com: "I had some shaky moments. No one likes to play the first round but you have to do it. I had big finishes when I needed them."
Adams, making his record-breaking 19th appearance at the event, will now meet Gary Stone in the next round after the Scottish qualifier knocked out Dutch 16th seed Ron Meulenkamp 3-0.
Eighth seed Tony O'Shea, the 2009 runner-up, also enjoyed an easy 3-0 victory against Steve West, and he will next face number nine Ross Montgomery, a 3-1 winner over Fabian Roosenbrand.
Montgomery said: "I will need to sharpen up my doubles for my next match with Tony or he will punish me."
In the evening session, fourth seed Robbie Green booked his spot in the second round with a 3-1 win over Darryl Fitton.
But the biggest upset of the opening day came when number five seed Gary Robson was knocked out by Steve Douglas in a 3-0 whitewash.
