Abbots Langley's Mark Walsh will take on Jarkko Komula in the first round of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship.

The 47-year-old will face the Finnish player and should he make it through to the second round, will compete against either Simon Whitlock or Ross Smith.

Walsh was disappointed last month after he failed to qualify from his group at the William Hill Grand Slam of Darts tournament and after that event he admitted he needs to start delivering under pressure.
