DARTS: Damon Heta kicked off the resumption of the World Championship in style by throwing a nine-darter.

The Australian achieved darting perfection in the second set of his third-round match with Luke Woodhouse.

Heta was millimetres away from throwing a nine-darter in the previous round when he missed the double 12, but he made no mistake this time in the first match after the Christmas break.
