The much fancied pairing to Scotland's Stuart Pagan and Paul Brown- from the Abbeyview club in Fife, struggled to produce their highly rated form against top international duo Frank De Vries from Holland and former high profile Crown Green bowler Darren Chatwin who were the debut qualifying representatives from Thailand.
The early stages of both sets were close encounters but the Asian pair produced the goods on the run home - winning six of the last seven ends in the opening set and then reeled off a 1, 2, 1 and 1 finish in the second to post a 10-7, 9-4 victory and progress to a second round match against the England/Guernsey partnership of Rob Paxton and Jason Greenslade on Sunday (12th January at 2pm).
