British Open & Classic (Sept 20th-22nd)

A decent showing from Leighton Bennett and Beau Greaves should give them great chances of sealing their seedings for the Indigo.

Obviously a bit more work to do for Leighton than Beau, but these two represent the future of BDO darts until they go to the PDC.

Are you saying that is the end of the BDO once these two move on?

Not at all. The next Beau and Leighton will see how they have come through the ranks of the BDO before moving on, and see it as a template for being a successful professional darts players.

Good to hear and very subtly put.

Greaves said in an interview with LiveDarts last year that she planned to go to Q School and wanted to play PDC. With Development Tour and Challenge Tour, lots of opportunity to play even without a tour card. Greaves wouldn't need much improvement from her winning form (not the shite she played at the England Masters/Classic) to be competitive at lower PDC levels. Greaves will be 16 in early January, so she'll be able to play PDC next year.

Bennett is a standout of the many good youth players. I think he's an example of the earlier development of players so isn't likely to be anything special in the future, but the BDO needs to recognise that earlier development and not exclude players from their top tournament qualifiers just because of their age. The Open golf qualifying only requires that a player be a scratch golfer or in the top 2,000 amateur golfers to enter. The BDO should have similar ability-based criteria. They're playing county, so they have their averages, and there are records of other tournament performances.

Bennett got beaten in L512, looks like Beau was a no show

Any Olde Ironer is my new favourite player ever.

I see the dress code for stage finals has been ignored.

Top Lad takes him out in the first round today.

109.98 average for Eddie Lovely, on a regulation board, too.
