Witham's Colin Lloyd will take on Denis Ovens in the first round of the 2004 Skybet World Grand Prix Championship.

The third seed will be gunning for glory when he takes part in the prestigious event at the CityWest Hotel, in Dublin, between October 18 and 24.

And the winner of his best-of-three sets match will face a second-round duel with either Bob Anderson or Dennis Smith.

With a £100,000 prize fund, including £20,000 to the winner, the event is one of five 'premier' category events in the PDC calendar.
