Good luck to Beau Greaves in Gold Cup singles & pairs

[Paddy McGinty]

And as mentioned countless times, World Snooker were happy to let a 15 year old play in a bookie branded TV event on a TV table. The BDO making excuses up to stop a kid making a fool of their top women.

Why doesn't she play in a PDC event?

Because they haven't entered her into one yet

They missed a trick with the Ally Pally expansion, should have given her one of the two female spots, strike whilst the iron is hot.

Is there a barrier to her entering the qualifiers?

Would assume her age, although they arent throwing up things ad hoc like "the event may get a alcohol/gambling sponsor so she cant play".

You know full well it's her age but it's only a problem if it's a BDO comp.......

She already plays in them so there should be no issue. Darts for all, except when we think we might get a sponsor but we know we wont.

MVG won the Northern Ireland Open at 15 and the World Masters at 17...so all ok back then although was a lot of moaning about him playing in the Masters in the first place..and then he won it !

Yes but if she qualifies she can only play in the the youth finals......

[ChrisW]

So has she just won a Winmau and Wolrd Pro ticket?

[Zapp Brannigan]

How dare she be at a good enough standard to compete at senior level and still be young enough to play in the youth event.

A complete non-discussion. Matters not one jot. Some of the comments attempting to ban her are very amusing though.

Merely copying off the BDO, who banned her from entering the WDT qualifiers just in case they got an alcohol/gambling sponsor, when in the final shake-up they didnt get any new sponsor at all.

Its as if are they embarrassed she will enter ladies events and make fools of some of their "top" lady players.

It's interesting because surely Lisa Ashton by playing challenge tour is attempting to qualify for two world championships? If she enters the PDC ladies qualifier then she will have had three attempts to qualify for a world championship in the same year yet no-one brings that up. Methinks this is more about the parents' anti EDO/BDO comments than the girl's age.

Lisa isnt doing Challegne tour this year because she couldnt enter Qschool without breaching her lakeside contract and losing her money.

The funny thing about that is (If Darts database is right) by stopping her from going to Qschool and thinking the Ladies no1 would go around the country playing every BDO event shes actually playing less events than last year.

Wasn't MvG 17 when he won The Winmau?

Time to take the trophy off the little fekker, right now!!!

Although some Fanatics would rather ban you from the event. I say if you are good enough you are old enough.

From a personal point of view
I am happy for any player to participate in the Gold Cup Pairs.
However it should still remain that you cannot play in the singles until you are 18.
All those quality youth players such as ‪Danielle‬ ‪Casey‬ ‪LaurenFallon‬ ‪Felicia‬ to name a few they all missed out and had to wait till they were 18 just seems they change rules to suit these days. If a youngster who is under 18 wins the gold cup singles (I know there are not any points) but is it a world masters and world pro playoff for the seniors should the senior win it. I hope that made sense. All I am trying to say are they taking a qualifying place. I am sure someone will answer this. Oh and please I am all for the youth playing but not in a senior event.

Linda James
I tend to agree with you here. I just don't think it's right that ( and let's not kid ourselves here we all know who we are talking about) any player should get two bites of the cherry so to speak ! Either play in the Youths or play in the Seniors not both if you allow a youth to play in the Seniors because he/she is too good for the Youths then why can't a not so good senior play in the youth comps if that makes any sense one or the other that's all I'm saying

Callum Crutchfield
‪I personally think you should be able to play in all events if your good enough , however based on the fact the rules don't allow under 18s to play lakeside then no they shouldn't be allowed in.‬

‪Linda James‬
‪I ‬just feel that its unfair to the remaining youth players if he/she is an exceptional player and cleans up all the youth comps and then can go on and play in a senior comp and win.

‪Liz Fletcher-Wright‬
‪Absolutely agree with what you have said. Youth Seniors kept separate. Granted we have some excellent youth players take nothing away from them.‬
‪It's not about how good they are and they should challenge the seniors when they are 18. It's not all about anyone special. It would be demoralising for them if they kept losing. ‬

‪Heather Connerton‬
If your good enough you're old enough let the Youth play the game WE and THEY love STOP HOLDING THEM BACK and STOP LYING TO THE YOUTH as happened at the WDT QUALIFIERS to me I was LIED TO by the powers that be at the moment......RESIGN NOW ....GIVE THE BDO A FUTURE...THE CONMAN

I love a new prodigy as much as the next. Let's just say a young child should not be spending her weekends surrounded by booze.
