Colin "Jaws" Lloyd came within a whisker of beating Phil Taylor as the Premier League darts tournament got under way in Stoke last night.
On target - Witham's Colin Lloyd in action at Stoke last night
In the final match of the evening, Witham's Lloyd was 6-5 up in the final leg, but failed to hit the double 20 that would have sealed victory.
That gave world number one Taylor the initiative and he stepped up to grab the last leg to end the contest all-square the second drawn match in the history of the game.
Ironically, the first draw came in the second match of the evening when John Part and Roland Scholten shared the points in their 6-6 draw.
