Trio Win Ally Pally Spots

NORMAN MADHOO, Osmann Kijamet and Christian Perez have qualified for the 2010 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship.

The trio are the latest international qualifiers, and will all compete in the preliminary round at Alexandra Palace next month.

Guyana's Madhoo defeated former champion Anthony Forde 5-3 to win the Caribbean & South American Masters and second a return to the World Championship.

Madhoo previously competed in the 2004 World Championship, losing to Steve Smith in round one at the Circus Tavern.

Perez, 27, won the Philippines Qualifier, defeating 2008 World Championship qualifier Rizal Barellano 4-3 in the final.

He also defeated NDFP number one Boie Parfan 3-1 in the semi-finals, and recently lost to John Part in the final of the Shanghai International Darts Open in China.

Slovenian ace Kijamet, meanwhile, has won the Eastern European Qualifier, which was held in Bratislava and features players from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia.

Kijamet overcame Sebastian Pecjak 6-3 in the final, and also defeated players with experience in PDC events in Europe - Oto Zmelik, Pavel Dirtl and Martin Kapucian - in the latter stages.

The Eastern European Qualifier also featured a nine-darter by Milan Dudas in round two against Boris Krcmar, although he lost to Oto Zmelik in the quarter-finals.
