Dolan win boosts World Grand Prix hopes

Brendan Dolan (Lawrence Lustig, PDC)

Brendan Dolan's Players Championship win on Sunday has boosted his chances of qualifying for October's BoyleSports World Grand Prix in Dublin.

Tickets for the BoyleSports World Grand Prix are available now through ticketmaster.ie.

The Northern Irish ace enjoyed arguably the most memorable week of his career at the 2011 World Grand Prix, hitting the historic first double-start nine-darter during his run to the final.

Another unforgettable day, as he emotionally claimed his first ranking victory for almost five years at Players Championship 22, saw Dolan claim £10,000 in prize money in Hildesheim on Sunday.

That success moved Dolan closer to the provisional ProTour Order of Merit qualifying places for October's World Grand Prix.

He now sits just under £7,000 behind Dimitri Van den Bergh and Vincent van der Voort, who occupy the final two provisional places.

Van den Bergh's run to Saturday's Players Championship final moved him in line for a World Grand Prix debut.

Four Players Championships and three European Tour events remain ahead of the cut-off for BoyleSports World Grand Prix qualification on September 22.

The top 16 from the PDC Order of Merit will be joined by 16 qualifiers from the ProTour Order of Merit to compete from October 6-12 at the Citywest Hotel Convention Centre in Dublin.

Tickets for the BoyleSports World Grand Prix are available now through ticketmaster.ie.

Tickets include a Season Ticket option for €180 as well as free tickets for Under-18s from Sunday-Wednesday when attending with an adult.
