RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD has withdrawn from Championship League Darts through illness, with Dennis Priestley taking his place in Tuesday's Group Four.
The Dutchman was forced to withdraw from last weekend's Dutch Players Championships in Nuland with illness and a back problem, and has not recovered in time to make his Championship League Darts debut.
Two-time World Champion Priestley, the next eligible player in the rankings, steps up to compete in Group Four on Tuesday as a direct replacement for the Dutchman.
As a consequence, Wes Newton is now promoted to Group Five, Jamie Caven steps into Group Six and Andy Smith moves up to Group Seven.
With Mervyn King having withdrawn after Group One due to a heel injury, John Part and Michael van Gerwen - the next two players in the PDC Order of Merit after July's StanJames.com World Matchplay - now come in to compete in Group Eight alongside left-hander Mark Webster.
The revised groups for Championship League Darts are below, alongside the amended Group Four fixtures.
