A DOZEN players secured their places in the Coral UK Open TV Finals on the third weekend of Rileys Amateur Qualifiers.
The penultimate weekend of knockouts for amateur players across the UK saw ten events staged in Rileys Sports Bars throughout the country.
Fraserburgh's Scott Robertson, a 41-year-old steel erector, won through the Rileys Aberdeen knockout to secure his third UK Open appearance, having previously played in the 2012 and 2013 tournaments.
Swindon's Johnny Haines will make his tenth UK Open appearance after winning through at Rileys Wolverhampton on Saturday alongside Telford's Andy Roberts, who has previously qualified three times as an amateur in 2007, 2009 and 2012.
Essex-based left-hander Paul Barham - a three-time winner on the PDC Unicorn Development Tour in 2011 - will make his UK Open debut following his success in the second Rileys Norwich knockout.
Yorkshire's Brian Dawson - who competed in his third Lakeside Championship last month - will make his UK Open debut after winning the Rileys Sheffield Qualifier.
Oldham's Paul Cartwright, who previously qualified for the 2011 UK Open as an amateur, won the Rileys Chorlton knockout, while Wigan's Jimmy McKirdy won through at Rileys Chester to secure his debut in a televised event.
Sunday's four knockouts included both Dave Parletti and Darryl Pilgrim winning through in the second qualifier at London Victoria.
Croydon's Pilgrim is set to make his first appearance in a televised event, while Parletti will compete in the UK Open for a third successive year at the Butlins Minehead Resort.
Welshman Mark Layton won through at Rileys Worcester to secure his fourth UK Open appearance, while veteran left-hander John Ferrell will also compete for a fourth time in the event following his success at Rileys South Benfleet.
Northampton's Martin Biggs, a 35-year-old baker, was the day's other qualifier as he won through at Rileys Coventry.
A total of 32 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers will compete in this year's Coral UK Open TV Finals at the Butlins Minehead Resort from March 3-5, where they compete against many of the sport's top names in the multi-board tournament.
