Darts results: Jeff Smith survives match darts from Fallon Sherrock to reach round two in the World Series of Darts Finals

Jeff Smith produced a remarkable five-leg comeback and survived four missed match darts from Fallon Sherrock as the first crowd returned to PDC events at the bwin World Series of Darts Finals on Friday.

The Canadian number one looked set to become Sherrock's latest big-stage scalp after the "Queen of the Palace" raced into a 5-1 lead in their first round tie in Salzburg.

However, four missed match darts across two legs eventually cost Sherrock as Smith took five straight legs, including a 109 checkout to win the deciding leg of a thrilling contest.

"I feel like I should have lost that game, but I'm still here," said Smith. "To be honest I was the second best player in the match. 

"I got in the way of myself a little bit. I had a bad Autumn Series and my confidence was low, but I'll take the win. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better again.

"Fallon came at me hard and I was looking to respond. She was the one that let me off in that match and she's a credit to the game."
