Kiwi holds his own on darts big stage

Invercargill's Warren Parry went within a leg of one of the biggest moments of his darts career at the Sydney Masters on Thursday night.

The multiple national champion, and a three-time competitor at the world championships, proved almost unbreakable against naturalised Australian, and world No 19, Paul Nicholson in the opening match of the Professional Darts Corporation event at Sydney's Luna Park.

Nicholson, who was scheduled to take on world champion Phil Taylor in last night's quarter-final, said playing first up had been tough for both competitors.

"I did feel a bit of pressure but I'm very relieved that I managed to get over the winning line in the end," he said.

"It was a very nervy game and we were both very aware of being first up on that stage. I'm still a bit low on confidence and I'm working hard on my game, but it was great to have some good support from the crowd and a few friends out there too - and I'm glad that I get another opportunity now to prove myself in the quarter-finals."

The Masters finishes tonight.
