Caven played well before losing a thrilling match to Anderson

Leicester's Jamie Caven said he is staying upbeat despite being "gutted" about his first-round exit at the PDC World Championship.

The Derby-based player, 33, lost 3-2 to Scotland's Gary Anderson.

And Caven said: "I'm gutted. It was the toughest first round you could wish to have. But I've given a good account of myself and I have to stay positive.

"I'm enjoying myself, I'm getting used to the stage now, the crowd are warming to me so it's onwards and upwards."
