"I definitely wouldn't have gone back to Q School. I would only have gone the once." #WSF2020 quarter-finalist @Duzza180 recalls his experience of Q School in 2019 and the dramatic game against Matthew Dennant that secured him a place in the PDC. 👂: insidethewdf.podbean.com/e/golden-arrow…
Durrant on potential career path if Q-School dream failed against Dennant: 'I definitely wouldn't have gone back to Q School'

Glen Durrant is currently leading the Premier League and is one of the biggest stars in the PDC but when he attempted to switch from the BDO, a big hurdle approached and that was Q-School.
Durrant had huge pressure on him to succeed and a pivotal game against Matthew Dennant could have crushed his dream. He has now revealed to the Golden Arrows Podcast that he wouldn't have gone back to Q-School if his dream failed.
"It must have been 300 or 400 behind my board. I saw it this year when Fallon Sherrock played Paul Nicholson and it just sort of reminded me of that was me the year before. I got to the final against Reece Robinson, that was the nightmare draw and I had everyone in my section of the draw," said Durrant.
"Reece gave me a really good beating and I knew then I had to win three games the next day. Now I believe the PDC were desperate for me to get through and I remember someone coming to me and saying your first round guy you can't lose to because he's been averaging 47 in all the first couple of days. I think the second game was routine."
"Then obviously I've spoke about it so many times a game with Matty Dennant which would determine I guess the final 5 to 6 to 7 years of my darting life. Am I going to stay in the BDO or am I going to give the PDC a go?"
"He has two darts averaging 107 at double 16, he misses, I checkout an 86 and then I win the match 5-4."
"I definitely wouldn't have gone back to Q School. I would only have gone the once and to see the deterioration of the BDO when I left I just couldn't believe my luck."

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
