The World Series of Darts Finals line up is now known.

Cullen in cruise control

Joe Cullen was in cruise control throughout the day as he became the first player through in the World Series of Darts Finals qualifer.

A disappointing World Matchplay saw him go out in the second round. The Rockstar was determined to put that behind him and he did so.

After receiving a bye in round one, Cullen demolished Ryan Meikle 5-1 with a 101.2 average in his first game of the day, and that set the tone for the rest of his day. He defeated Barrie Bates 5-2 in the second round, before winning 5-2 against Callan Rydz, who up until that point had been playing some magnificent stuff.

The Rockstar barely broke sweat in his first three games, and did so again in his final game. He won 5-3 against Jesus Noguera to reach his second World Series of Darts Finals.

Beaton back for third attempt

Steve Beaton will be at this tournament for the third attempt, as he continued his amazing run on qualifying days.

Beaton also received a bye into the second round, and made the most of it, defeating Dirk van Duijvenbode 5-2. He then produced his best average of the day, a 96.9, in a 5-1 win over Andy Hamilton.

The Bronzed Adonis moved into the final eight with a 5-2 win over Steve Lennon, before booking his place in Austria with a 5-3 victory over Germany’s Gabriel Clemens.

Ward makes tournament debut

Harry Ward is probably one of the least expected names to come through the World Series of Darts Final qualifier.

The former Pro Tour winner had to play in round one, and managed to defeat Jan Dekker 5-2. 5-3 wins over William O’Connor and Christian Bunse saw Ward into the last 16.

It was here that Ward produced his best performance of the day, averaging 92.4 in another 5-3 win over Joe Murnan. This set up a last eight match against an in form Chris Dobey, but it was not a classic. Both players could not average 77, and one leg was won by Dobey in 28 darts to level at 3-3. Despite this, Ward kept his cool, and broke in the next leg, before serving it out to win a 5-3 and make his maiden appearance at the event.

Van der Voort continues good form

Following on from quarter final runs in last year’s European Championship, and this year’s World Matchplay, Vincent van der Voort will make his debut in the World Series Finals.

The Dutch Destroyer was given a bye in round one, and it was worth the wait to see him in action, as he produced a 100.8 average to defeat Josh Payne 5-3 in round two. Van der Voort was then pushed all the way by Marko Kantele, edging the match 5-4 in a last leg decider.

This seemed to give the Dutchman confidence and belief, as he dispatched Scott Waites 5-2 to make it to the last eight. There he met Lativa’s Madars Razma, who he beat 5-3 to secure the final spot at the 2020 World Series Finals in Austria.
