Why exclude Dom Taylor

[Cooking with Sandra]

Sigh.

[Deadshot]

Not happy with that draw when it comes to Wadey,

Likely gets Watti first round who has been on the run of his career recently.

I like a schedule. I'll have a good stare at it.

Surprising that they've put Noa in an afternoon session.

Noa-Lynn pushed onto an afternoon session shows that the PDC know there will be some booing towards Noa

[thepenguin]

Fuck him

[The Thorn]

Decent Session that tbf

Yes

For actual darts fans Hurrell v Long is a goldmine, one of the best first round games

[Dfc180]

The Tuesday night session looks terrible though. Especially if Plaisier doesn't get through the 1st round
