World Championship PDPA Qualifiers

BOARD ASSIGNMENTS are now available for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship PDPA Qualifiers, which take place at the New Walton Club in Hull on Saturday.

Four former World Champions - John Lowe, Eric Bristow, Keith Deller and Richie Burnett - will be among the 166 players hoping to win one of 16 spots at the Circus Tavern.

Lowe is entering the qualifiers for a World Championship for the first time in his career, while Deller and Burnett are also involved after dropping out of the top 32.

Ex-World Matchplay winners Rod Harrington and Peter Evison are also taking part, alongside a host of players who have qualified for major PDC events this year.

Keith Rooney, who reached the second round of the Sky Bet World Grand Prix in October, will be joined in travelling from Ireland by Tom Kirby - who played in the 1993, 1994 and 1995 World Championships.

Rocco Maes is one of a number of players based on the continent, and he will be making his first appearance since serving a tour of duty in Iraq as part of his job in the Belgian Army.

Please note that the draw for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship will be made at 5.30pm on Monday 5 December, live on Sky Sports News
