Kim Huybrechts beat his elder brother Ronny Huybrechts to progress into the second round of the World Darts Championships this evening.

Kim began the match perfectly with a 180 from his first three darts but proceeded to miss two chances to win the leg, allowing Ronny to draw first blood.

Both players missed a number of opportunities in the second leg but it was eventually Kim who levelled things up. However, Ronny then went on to record back-to-back 13-darters to seal the first set.

Ronny raced into a 2-0 lead in the second set, but Kim roared back to win the next three and make it one set apiece.

It was more of the same in the third set as Ronny once again took control early on before losing another three legs in a row to hand Kim a 2-1 lead.

The younger of the siblings then clinched his spot in the next round with a 3-0 win in the fourth, setting up a second-round meeting with Ian White.
