Rileys Qualifiers - April 16

SIX further players have won places in the Speedy Hire UK Open through the Rileys Qualifiers on Saturday.

Rileys Croydon winner Ben Burton, Rileys Solihull winner Dean Stewart and Rileys Bolton winner John Bowles will all be making a return to the UK Open in June, where they will compete alongside the top names in the sport for the £200,000 prize fund.

Widnes' Bowles, a qualifier for last year's tournament, took a deciding-leg win in his final with Paul Banahan in Bolton, checking out a 14-dart finish for victory.

Burton was also a narrow 3-2 winner in his final, defeating Paul Amos at the Rileys Croydon Qualifier to earn his return to Bolton.

Stewart, meanwhile, was the winner in the Rileys Solihull Qualifier, defeating Jamie Hughes 3-1, while Ian Moss was the winner in Reading with a narrow 3-2 defeat of Joe Lacey.

Dan Butler overcame James Hurrell in a deciding leg to win the final of the Gloucester Qualifier, having defeated former professional Henry O'Neill in the quarter-finals.

Lee Rose was the day's other winner, defeating Tony Course 3-1 in the final of the Rileys Stevenage Qualifier.
