PDC Development Tour 2019 (+World Youth Championship)

[Rogg]

This tour starts next weekend. Should be interesting to see how McGeeney gets on.

Dimitri too old now. Being in the Top 32 of the Main OoM following Ally Pally means you can't play so that rules out Hopp too.

[thegentle]

McGeeney, chortle.

Bet Schindler is happy about Dimi graduating, he can finally come out from under the bed now. Speaking of Germans, Hopp will be able to compete at the World Youths, which he funnily enough didn't even qualify for last year, only played on DT weekend IIRC

Interesting names here. Most of the tour card holders (except just Bunse I think, who is off playing in the German Superleague), plus Cole, Rafferty, Rydz, de Decker, as well as Telkenes and Borland for those of a mushroom persuasion

[thegentle]

Jurjen van der Velde (JDC and boys World Masters champion) there too

I could be persuaded to mushroom for charity.

I'm surprised that Telekinesis is young enough for this... the general piss palace stench must be interfering. He's 24 next month according to wiki so he'll be the old man of the field.

Of course these lads are more Scott Baker than Wesley Harms in terms of mushroom-ness, good to see they're at least giving the PDC a go. Borland you may remember qualified for a Euro Tour the other day, though Telkenes was one of the Euro lot who seemingly got left in limbo wrt Q-School

Event 1 about to start.

Callan Rydz loses to a 98 average in the Preliminary Round. Laughable. Cursed he must be.

[Greipel]

Luke Humphries and even Luke Humphreys are also there.
Also don't forget about the Muffinman's and the Pieman's successor: https://members.dartconnect.com/history ... 48debd8acf

I was a bit concerned seeing Luke Humphreys being beaten by an unknown, but when I saw the 'original' Cool Hand safely through his first round I was relieved haha. Some more interesting names, Billy Bristow (darting royalty?), and a few young ladies there too, Marina Letica won 4-0 with a 74 average, short format I know, but I wonder if she can keep that up, surely can't be too many females her age at that level

[thegentle]

All is well for Luke Humphs across the darting world after all!

[thegentle]

But not for Murschell, sub-74 average, and yet to get his first win of the season still. Will be a big worry for him if that remains the same come Sunday night

[tungsten tossers]

JdZ loses to Lewis Pride last 128

[Potter's Lake]

Killer rediscovering his mojo by beating up children. Legend.

[Fiss Plaps]

Rafferty v Ted final. Ted averaging 113 at 3-0.

[thegentle]

Rafferty v Ted final. Ted averaging 113 at 3-0.

Ends up 5-0 and a 103 average. Ted loves a good Development Tour run, only this time I don't think he'll need it!

[Rogg]

Super Ted.

[Rogg]

Van Tergouw is playing Event Two. Currently 1 up on Patrick McGoohan.

[thegentle]

Rafferty not got that defeat out of his system lol, involved in a right ding-dong early doors in event 2. He beat Eloise Milburn 4-0, but they barely averaged 100 between them! 65.3 for Rafferty, a grisly 35.5 for Milburn. Oh to be under 24 again...

[Rogg]

Oh look who it is. Making an appearance in the PDC's twatter pic.
