Corey Cadby will not be at this years' World Championship at the Alexandra Palace. The Aussie sensation had 3 chances to reach the tournament but couldn't get over the line in any of them so despite many looking forward to the entertaining up and comer playing at the Alexandra Palace again he won't be. Gordon Mathers won the Dart Players Australia Order of Merit for the year which secured him the spot at the World Championship with Cadby finishing 3rd behind Rhys Mathewson as well. He also lost in the last 32 of the Oceanic Masters which was seen as his last real concrete chance that he could deliver on and Bernie Smith went on to win that tournament. And finally he lost in the semi-final of the World Youth Championship to Josh Payne 6-3 including being 5-0 down at one point to end his chances of retaining his title he won last year and also grabbing a spot at the most prestigious event on the PDC calendar. From here Cadby will go to the Grand Slam of Darts and play in that for the next week and from there preparations turns to Q-School where he will be trying to win a tour card for the first time having moved over here.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
