    Liam Gallagher 6 places off a spot in the second phase, leg difference of just 4 legs cost him a place

    Fallon seems to be throwing far better in the last few days. Probably less pressure on her since PDC are focusing on advertising that Bahrain tournament

    Guy who got the last OOM spot into the UK final phase had to rely on someone taking out a 170 checkout

    There are 9 players in the Euro Q school who didn't win a leg over the three days, one in the UK

    If you don't get a tour card does that mean 'its back to your day job' for the year ??

    I'm happy to see Fallon get through as an automatic qualifier, for herself as much as anything else. She has to be under a huge amount of pressure from all the hype Sky loads onto her.

    Anyone who entered Q-School are eligible to compete on the challenge tour and I think they can enter european tour qualifying events


    2 German players are after withdrawing from final phase as they only wanted to enter the challenge tour

    Not easy that's for sure

    I see none of the other high profile ladies e.g lisa ashton, lorraine winstanley made it through

    Surprised Lisa Ashton didn't make it, good player and was close to winning a tour card last year

    Well, it's kind of up to them and their personal circumstances really. It's unlikely but not impossible that challenge tour/pro-am darts is still their only full-time gig.

    By the same token guys who we would consider 'full time pros' may also be running a pub or a property empire etc.

    Lisa Ashton has had a big drop off in form over the last year. Unfortunately I think her best days are now behind her. Still an amazing achievement to have been the first and so far only female player to have won a tour card.

    Most will have day jobs apart from the top players who hoover up the majority of the money.

    Tough looking draw in the euro tournament this morning. Cadbey will potentially come across Tricole/Kist, Max Hopp and Marko Kantele.

    https://tv.dartconnect.com/event/pdceuqs23fse1/brackets/23586

    Edit: Sedlacek, Bialeck also on that side of the draw.


    Lukas Wenig, Gian Ven Veel and Maik Kuivenhooven have a better chance of making it to the final

    I don't know why but I'm hoping Sherrock manages to get a tour card over the next few days. At least then she can go earn ranking money in the orders of merit and try get into competition on her skills as a player and not for what is/isn't between her legs. She'll still be able to compete in the womens events which gives an extra avenue.

    I'm disappointed Beau Greaves didn't try get a card this time around too. She's more capable than a lot of the dross that turnd up over the last few das.

    Slevin wins six legs on the bounce to get a 6-1 victory, continues his good form from the first phase. No points on the board yet, but helps the leg difference which could be vital

    Dylan Slevin picks up a point after beating Prakesh Jima. Fallon has a point as well

    Dylan Slevin wasn't quite at his best but got the job done. Only 1 other Irish left today in Shane McGuirk.

    Fallon Sherrock has been throwing really well and if she keeps it up, there is no reason why she won't get a card.

    Shane gets a point on the board as well, Up against Graham Usher next in the T32, Dylan against big John Henderson

    Btw, 6 points was the safety mark last year.

    Turning into a big afternoon for French darts in the euro school. Tricole and Labre both into the quarter finals. Tricole knocked out Max Hopp

    Sherrock is into the L8. Great chance to win a card. I thought she hadn't a hope!

    Harrington made an absolute mess in the last 2 legs against Fallon. I think she'll get a tour card this week

    Andy Hamilton looking good for a card too. Fairly consistent, must be close to highest average overall.
