Gerwyn Price set up a tantalising second round clash with Michael van Gerwen after beating Michael Smith 6-3 on day one of the Jack’s Casino World Series of Darts Finals.

The European Championship runner-up averaged 101.86 in front of a bumper crowd at the AFAS Live in Amsterdam and had too much for his English opponent on the night.

The match began with Price taking a 3-1 lead, which included a 142 finish, before Smith went on to level at 3-3.

The Welshman then regained control, breaking in the eighth leg of the match and eventually going on to win the match with a 52 finish.

“Michael (Smith) used to be a bit of a bogey player for me but I do like playing him. He is quick and doesn’t mess about and now I feel confident playing against him.

“After last week I’ve just decided to go out and try and enjoy myself and I’ll be doing that against MVG tomorrow. It’s not the end of the world if I lose and I’ve had some great games against him and I’m going to give my all tomorrow night.”
