Final Chance To Enter

PLAYERS have until Wednesday to enter the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers for the UK Open.

Over 2,500 players have already entered the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers, which will see 32 players win a place in June's UK Open at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

Last year, Salford's Ken Mather (pictured) won through to the fourth round of the UK Open at Bolton, before getting the chance to take on Phil Taylor on the main stage at the Reebok Stadium.

This year's qualifiers will be held in two stages during April and May.

The Preliminary Rounds will be held of April 10 & 11 in 20 venues around the UK, with the Regional Finals being held on April 17 & 18 and May 1, 2 & 8.

Entry is available until Wednesday March 31, and is FREE for all players.

Players can enter either by going online to www.rileys.co.uk/ukopen or by visiting their local Rileys Darts Zone.

Players will be allowed to enter more than one qualifying event. At each qualifying event, players will compete in the preliminary rounds on April 10/11, with the last 32 from each event then returning for the Regional Finals at a later date to compete for the places in the UK Open televised finals.
