Darts results: Jeff Smith snatches top spot in Group 16

Jeff Smith took out 147 to beat Ricky Evans 5-4 and snatch top spot in the PDC Home Tour's Group 16 on Saturday night.

Smith's earlier last-leg defeat to Martin Atkins left him needing victory over Evans in the final match of the evening, and he appeared on course when moving into a 4-3 lead.

Evans levelled with a 137 checkout, going treble 19 followed by back-to-back double-tops, to ensure the match would go the distance - with Atkins' hopes of topping the group resting on the shoulders of Evans.

Smith responded in fine style, hitting double 18 for the match on what was a dramatic evening which ended in fireworks.
