DAVID PLATT, Dave Marland and Koha Kokiri have won through the DPA Qualifiers to secure spots in the Unibet Melbourne Darts Masters.
The DPA's Festival of Darts at the Warilla Bowls Club, NSW saw a weekend of tournaments headlined by knockout events to claim the final three places in the inaugural Melbourne Darts Masters.
Three-time World Championship qualifier David Platt was the winner of the opening qualifier, seeing off Clinton Bridge 6-3 in the final to secure his spot in an eighth World Series of Darts event.
Bridge also reached the final of Sunday's Qualifier Two, but was denied by Dave Marland as the Australian - who won his first DPA title last year - secured his TV debut later this month.
New Zealand's Koha Kokiri followed up his recent qualification for the TABtouch Perth Darts Masters by claiming the final place in Melbourne in Monday's Qualifier Three, where he overcame Rob Modra 6-5 in the final.
The weekend also saw Platt and Stewart team up to win the Australian Doubles event, defeating Rob Modra and Steve MacArthur 4-1 in the final.
