SHAUN NARAIN won the North American Qualifier for the PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship.
Narain defeated Sarah Hayhurst 4-2 in the final of Saturday's qualifier at the Hilton London Ontario to ensure his place in the last 64 of the World Youth Championship in Crawley on November 4.
The 18-year-old from Calgary dropped just two legs in defeating Daniel King and Ian Fogarty in his first two games, and overcame Dawson Murschell 4-2 in the semi-finals before repeating the result against Hayhurst.
Hayhurst had impressed with her run to the final, whitewashing Dennis Critch in the last 16 and dropping only one leg in each of her next two victories, against Collin McInnis and Nicholas Findlay.
Further International Qualifiers for the World Youth Championship will be held during the Autumn, with information on these events plus the Rileys Qualifiers to be held in the UK to be announced in due course.
