Nick Kenny will cap his first year on the PDC circuit with an Alexandra Palace debut, after defeating James Wilson 7-6 to secure his World Championship spot, having earlier seen off Steve Brown and Ted Evetts.

Karel Sedlacek will make his second World Championship appearance after the Czech star defeated Rowby-John Rodriguez 6-0 and then lost just two legs in each of his wins over Benito van de Pas and Jan Dekker in the Rest of the World Qualifier.

Dutch left-hander Niels Zonneveld secured his World Championship debut with wins over Krzysztof Kciuk, Jelle Klaasen and Martin Schindler.

The six players complete the 96-player field for the World Championship, with the draw for the tournament due to take place at 0930 GMT on Thursday December 3 live on Sky Sports News.
