European Q-School: Dutch delight as ten Tour Card winners confirmed
Dirk van DuijvenbodeSunday, 21 January 2018 at 16:23
The identity of the first ten players to win Tour Cards through European Q-School has been confirmed.
The Dutch contingent performed especially well, claiming five of the ten spots up for grabs. Jeffrey de Zwaan, Mario Robbe, Tytus Kanik and Gabriel Clemens were all victorious in the four events in Hildesheim. The Dutch pair of de Zwaan and Robbe were joined by three more compatriots who won a place through the Order of Merit. Danny Noppert has successfully completed his switch from the BDO to the PDC by claiming a Tour Card. He is joined by Dirk van Duijvenbode and Vincent Kamphuis, who were both losing finalists this week.
Robert Marijanovic became the second German to gain a spot on the PDC Tour after Clemens by accumulating enough points. Jose Antonio Justicia Perales, Saturday's losing finalist, joins Cristo Reyes and Antonio Alcinas on the Tour. The list is completed by Belgium's Andy van Baelen.
Narrowly missing out were Diogo Portela - who would have earned a card had he beaten Kamphuis in Sunday's quarter-final - and Krzysztof Ratajski. They are among the 37 players from European Q-School who can now play in the six UK Open qualifiers.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
