Tony O'Shea survived a first-round scare to seal a 3-2 victory over Robbie Green on the opening day of the BDO World Professional Darts tournament.

The top seed, nicknamed 'Silverback', raced into a 2-0 lead, Green responded by taking the third set to love before levelling in the fourth.

However, O'Shea kept his composure in the fifth, using his superior finishing skills to see off 'Kong'.

Brian Woods saw off Holland's Joey Ten Berge to book his second-round place.
