European Tour 2019

[ChrisW]

Price pulls out, Noppert goes into the seeds. Another German qualifier then, will be 8 of them altogether including Hopp, Schindler and Clemens

Which is another reason why only 2 hnq should get in. Stick to more qualifiers to the tour cards.

Gives the locals someone to cheer on, until Saturday evening anyway.

Slightly better than last two events I think, but by no means inspiring, and entries were very disappointing. I think the PDC will have a long hard think about how they structure Euro Tour events from next year

The West South European qualifier is completely pointless

In its current guise, definitely. They should either scrap it completely and put them back into the main qualifiers, or they should have multiple qualifiers all on the same night like they do for the Nordic/Baltic and East European qualifiers

[The Jolly Man]

Diogo started far too slowly in first two legs of this doubt he will get back from this now.

Have to say I really rate Sedlacek and I was surprised that he didn’t make it through Euro q school think he would be a good addition to the tour hopefully he comes through next year.

The Czech lads seem to have really stepped it up this year. Getting a toys stop in their country seems to have added something to their game.

[ChrisW]

Beaton out 6-1 to Nathan Derry.

Just in from work to see a great display of darts from Nathan Derry. Smashed Beaton and scored fantastically well.

Good to see Bunting playing that well.

Good night of darts expected with Duzza vs Hughes the highlight for me.

Clemens v Evans and Hughes v Durrant is a nice pair.
