The Ferret, sporting a new shaved head look from his house in Pontyberem, has been delivering food to the elderly and vulnerable for Carmarthenshire council during lockdown rather than his usual full-time job as a plasterer.

He took the day off to prepare for a return to his lucrative 'side job' of darts and the decision paid off as he became the sixth player from the opening eight nights of action to qualify with a 100% record of three wins from three.

The world number 15, who started the season by shocking Michael van Gerwen in the first round of the Masters before hitting a nine-dart finish en route to the UK Open semi-finals last month, was a clear favourite despite question marks over whether he'd been able to practice as much as his rivals.

Clayton kicked off the night in style with a 5-2 triumph over world number 115 Adam Hunt, earning a break of throw in the sixth leg before finishing it off with a classy 100 checkout.

The Welshman, whose career highlight is reaching the 2017 Players Championship Finals, averaged 96 in that match and despite following it up with a mark of 90 in his next against Richard North, it was still enough for a battling 5-3 victory.

Clayton still had work to do in the final match of the night against David Pallet, who had earlier beaten a winless North 5-2 while Hunt was also still in the running on four points having claimed 5-3 and 5-1 wins over Pallett and North respectively.

The Ferret needed four legs to guarantee his progress and after twice coming from a leg down, he moved 3-2 up with a 15-dart break before taking the next two to complete a clean sweep with an average of 93.
