John Part headlines Qualifiers for Stage Two of Q-School

After three days of Stage one of Qualifying School in Milton Keynes and Kalkar, Stage Two players are finalised.

Part Rolls Back The Years

Three time World Champion John Part is looking to get back on the PDC tour and secured his spot in the second stage on Wednesday in Milton Keynes.

John Part wasn’t able to secure the spot outright on Monday and Tuesday, however a run to the last 64 meant a place in Thursday’s draw was enough.

It was Jacob Gwynne who was the man to stop Darth Maple, and the drama wasn’t finished for Gwynne, who had already secured his spot through the OOM, who was in a last leg shootout against Steven Moss in the Last 32.

Steven Moss wins he progressed to Stage Two, if not it was a Nine Dart Hero William Borland who would progressed, and Borland will owe a massive thank you to Gwynne in Milton Keynes tomorrow after a 95 checkout ended the hopes of Steven Moss.

Following the success of Luke Littler at the World Championship, another two JDC players Leighton Bennett and Henry Coates lit up Wigan with a fantastic days play in Milton Keynes and they will be looking to join The Nuke on Tour.

The eight players to secure the qualification automatically on Wednesday Rhys Griffin, Joe Croft, Leighton Bennett, Lee Cocks, Tom Lonsdale, Scott Taylor, Henry Coates, and Paul Redfern
