Colin Lloyd ousted Richie Burnett from the Paddy Power World Grand Prix in Dublin with 2-0 win in the opening round.

Jaws hardly put a foot wrong in the match and disposed of the former World Champion with some style.

On a night of close matches, this also had all the ingredients to be a classic as both men traded early legs.

With the shorter format of the World Grand Prix, both men knew that they could not afford to fall too far behind, and that resulted in a 2-2 deadlock in the opening set.

It was Lloyd who rallied and, despite being under pressure from Burnett, Jaws snapped up the fifth leg to go one set ahead.

The Prince of Wales showed what a fighter he was as he put the disappointment of the first set behind him to take the opening leg of the second set.

Lloyd immediately levelled and was determined to force his way in to the second round of the tournament.

Jaws wrapped up the final two legs of the set as Burnett capitulated but the manner of the victory illustrated why Lloyd is many people`s quiet fancy for the competition.
