Dartgod

Newsflash from the PDC !

THE two PDC Players Championship events in Dublin in October will be open for entry to non-PDPA members.

Two Players Championships will take place on October 2 and 3 at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin, ahead of the start of the Bodog.com World Grand Prix.

As with other non-UK Players Championships, the tournaments will be open for entry to PDPA members and also for non-PDPA members resident outside the United Kingdom.

This means that any player with a Republic of Ireland passport or eligible to receive a Republic of Ireland passport would be allowed to enter, along with other non-UK non-members from around the world.

PDPA members should enter as usual through the PDC Online Entry System.

Non-members can enter by paying €125 per competition.

Anybody goin up to this?

Jake The Fat Ma

I dont think its open to the public.

Daffy501

Right there Jake its not open to the public , however if your lucky enough to know one of the players(PDPA member) who has entered you can get in via them as a guest.
As far as i know each player(PDPA member) who enters can take 2/3 guests in with them

Jake The Fat Ma

I'm going up anyway because I am marking.

Just noticed Taylor and Barney not entered into any of these 2 tournaments.

Taylor has been known to miss a few of these players championship events but he's already well qualified for the grand final in the Circus Tavern next January but Barney has no interest in this tournament and will miss this event again for a 2nd year in a row and personally I think Barney is doing himself no favours dismissing events like these.

Best of luck to all the Irish players involved tomorrow and Sunday.

William led the way with a strong Irish field getting as far as the Third round. Dave Coyne gave a very good account of himself too.

100% agree and I think the lack of competitive match practice shows when the big tournaments come around. It would certainly do him no harm to get some practice in for this week seen as he'll be over here anyway.

I think I did hear somewhere recently he had a back problem, anyone know anything about this?

He was entered into the players championship tournaments in Nuland Holland a few weeks back but withdrew due to a back problem according to the PDC website. As you said Devastator you'd think he'd have entered the Saturday and Sunday tournaments in Dublin to get a bit of match practice before his game against John Magowan Tuesday night?

Well done to Simon Whitlock on his win and his 5th players championship tournament victory in total this year. Dennis Priestley is an inspiration to any darts player,still chucking top class arrows at 60,what a brilliant player. Also well done to the 2 semi finalists Justin Pipe and Ian White.

Day 2 underway in Citywest and a good start made by the Irish players with Brendan Dolan,Mick McGowan,John Magowan,William O'Connor,Aodhagan O'Neil,Michael Mansell,Denis McCarthy and David Coyne all winning their 1st round games and guaranteeing themselves at least £200 for reaching the 2nd round.

There's no TV coverage of today's tournament but the World Grand Prix starts tomorrow and there will be plenty of sites to watch the games online. A good site for darts coverage is www.myp2p.eu

padr81

not going well all irish players beaten in rd2 so far. brendan dolan playing mickey mansell so there'll be one in rd3 and aodhagen is still playing his rd2 game.

dartbhoy

Mickey Mansell keeping the flag flying,on a great run today and he's into the quarter finals where he plays Denis Smith. Quarter final results; Jamie Caven 6 Jelle Klaasen 1,Steve Beaton 6 Wayne Jones 4. Other quarter final game is Ronnie Baxter v Tony Eccles.

padr81

now into the semi's. 6-1 win over Smith. Fair play.

dartbhoy

Cracking win for Mansell.

padr81

6-4 to Caven but if i'm not mistaken thats the joint best run an irish (north or south) player has had in the pdc?

dartbhoy

Caven wins final 6-5 against Baxter. Good day for Mickey Mansell. Probably the best placed finish this year in a PDC tournament for an Irish player (north or south).

Mick mac gowan was in a final of a pro tour event in scotland few yrs back. Brendan dolan was also in a final.

Mick won vauxhall and the irish classic, 2 of which were pro tour events. Vauxhall being a pro 128 back in 2006 and same yr for the irish classic.

cheers Dicie mate, your full of stats. I forgot Felix McBrearty who won one as well if I'm not mistaken (although I usually am)

Sorry to hear your night was ruined. It's getting worse there every year. The genuine darts fan is suffering because of these as**oles.
