HE first round of the European Darts Grand Prix on Friday will feature the bumper tie between Stephen Bunting and Alan Norris in Sindelfingen, with the draw and schedule of play now available.

Friday's opening day of the £115,000 PDC European Tour event - which is being streamed live through www.LIVEPDC.TV and a series of bookmakers' websites - sees the 32 qualifiers taking part in the first round.

The field will be completed on Thursday night following the European Qualifier and Host Nation Qualifier, but the draw has already thrown up some tasty clashes from the 20 players who won through last month's UK Qualifier.

Premier League star Stephen Bunting will take on Alan Norris - who won his first Players Championship in Dublin recently - as they meet in a repeat of the 2014 Lakeside Championship final.

South Africa's Devon Petersen, who hit a nine-darter during the UK Qualifier, faces Dean Winstanley, while former Sindelfingen winner Steve Beaton is up against Mark Walsh.

Mark Webster, who reached the partypoker.com World Grand Prix semi-finals last week, has drawn Stephen Willard, while top British youngsters Ricky Evans and David Pallett face off and Robbie Green meets Northern Ireland's Mickey Mansell.

Tickets for the European Darts Grand Prix are available through www.pdc-europe.tv.

The European Darts Grand Prix will be screened live for all LIVEPDC.TVSubscribers worldwide, and will also be broadcast through the following bookmakers' websites:

[Justin Credible]

[Jobber]

Jelle Klaasen (11) v R Evans/Pallett

and then you look at brenny dolan's draw...

[Justin Credible]

Jelle Klaasen (11) v R Evans/Pallett

That a cruel draw for all three

Choking Vinny against the winner of Bunting and norris another good looking early draw

[M H]

Probably wont be a stream for the afternoon session but the evening looks nailed on

[Justin Credible]

golden arrows is back up and running so hopeful at the moment

[M H]

Golden Arrows in on for tomorrow and Saturday evenings, not afternoons

[Jobber]

Mensur and De Zwaan are the first two to qualify.

[Jobber]

Barney, Alcinas, Caris, Rowby all qualify

[Mabbsy]

Stefan Lord having a go or not ?

[Jobber]

No lewis in this? Skipping events is the last thing he should be doing.

[Mothy]

Nice to hear that Jeffrey de Zwaan qualified for an Euro Tour event again, great player with a nice and quick throwing action and great to watch when in form.

If De Zwaan qualifies and Ronny Huybrechts doesn't, then De Zwaan will take Ronny's place for the European Championship. Otherwise De Zwaan will have to win one more game than Ronny.

How can you say that after the masters? 90 percent of the top 16 looked shit and, unlike a few years a go, the have no one coming through.

They are pinning their hopes on Larry Butler to take them forward

For years the masters always produces some strange results

The PDC youth tour hasn't produced anyone who got to a Tv semi yet

And you can't count MVG

[ChrisW]

I wonder if JC will highlight all the sub 90 sub 80 sub 70 etc scores for this on Friday?
