The upcoming weeks Germany will be the home of darts. Next to the German Darts Masters in Gelsenkirchen, the Development Tour will continue this weekend in Hildesheim. Players with the most wins on the Youth/Development Tour (since 2011):

ROWBY-JOHN RODRIGUEZ and Kenny Neyens shared victories as the second PDC Unicorn Development Tour weekend of 2018 began at Halle 39 in Hildesheim on Saturday.

Rodriguez won his third Development Tour title, and his first PDC title of the year, with a 5-0 whitewash of George Killington in the final of Event Five in Germany.

The Austrian ace is a familiar face to darts fans, having competed in a number of televised PDC events and continued his progress by picking up the £2,000 Development Tour title.

The 24-year-old former Austria World Cup star overcame Brian Raman, George Gardner, Jack Dickinson and Josh McCarthy as he reached the quarter-finals.

There, he enjoyed a 5-2 win over Tommy Wilson before seeing off Justin van Tergouw 5-3 in the semis, and then eased to the title with a comfortable win over Killington.

Event Six saw Belgian youngster Neyens go all the way to win a third Development Tour title of his promising career, seeing off Jarred Cole 5-2 in the final.

Neyens, who made his TV debut at the 2018 World Championship, bounced back from his 4-1 loss to McCarthy in the last 32 of the day’s earlier tournament by going all the way to glory.

The 23-year-old recorded wins over Mike van Duivenbode, Ted Evetts, Dylan Powell and Harry Ward as he reached the last eight.

Neyens then cruised past Jordan Boyce 5-1 and beat German star Martin Schindler 5-2, before claiming his first title of the year with a win over Cole.

The second PDC Unicorn Development Tour weekend of the year concludes on Sunday with a further two £10,000 tournaments at Halle 39 in Hildesheim.
