Anderson in cracking form at the moment and it's all happening for him at the right time with the UK Open less than a fortnight away.

Surprised William O'Connor isn't playing this weekend considering his in contention for a place in the World Matchplay? Still in the current financial climate it can't be easy for him to play in all tournaments. Hopefully he'll qualify for Blackpool which would boost him financially.

dartbhoy

Just found out there off another thread that the reason Willie and Shane O'Connor are not playing this weekend is because whoever was responsible for entering them into the tournament forgot to do it! It could prove to be a costly mistake especially with so many of the big names out and a small entry field they could have made extra money towards the rankings.

Day 2 under way in Crawley and Willie O'Connor has been knocked out in the 1st round. Willie's chances of qualifying for the World Championship have taken a major blow this weekend with Belgium's Kim Huybrechts having 2 good days to overtake Willie in the PC rankings.

2 events left at the end of November to qualify for the World Championship. Personally I think Willie will have to do a personal PDC best and reach a semi final in 1 of these tournaments in order to qualify IMO.

A good day for Brendan Dolan as he has reached the semi finals where he plays either Belgian Kim Huybrechts or yesterday's winner Justin Pipe. Dave Chisnall v Co Stompe in other semi final.

William O'Connor's chances of qualifying for the World Championship look slim after today's event. It would be a disaster for the PDC if Adrian Lewis doesn't qualify for the Players Championship especially with the event been screened live on ITV4.

Lewis hasn't made the Players Championship grand finals. He had to win out today's tournament to qualify. Justin Pipe will be the number 1 seed for the Players Championship.

Willie O'Connor missed out on qualifying for the World Championship. A disappointing end to his year after a great start to it. There are 2 places left to fill from tomorrow's PDPA Qualifier which Willie can't enter due to competing in the Irish Qualifier earlier this year.

World Championship draw will be made on Sky Sports News on Tuesday at around 11 30am.
