Derry and Shepherd claim last two outright PDC Tour Cards at Q-School
NewsSunday, 20 January 2019 at 17:28
The last two outright Tour Cards have been decided at 2019 PDC UK Q-School with Nathan Derry and Kirk Shepherd coming through the field.
Derry is known mainly for competing in the Grand Slam but will make his return to the full PDC Tour for the first time in three years.
This was after he smashed Joe Murnan who was already assured an immediate return to the tour anyway.
Then Kirk Shepherd saw off Kevin Painter in what will be a disappointing defeat for ‘The Artist’.
Painter went in front early but Shepherd came back to win and assure Barrie Bates a Tour Card after the former World Championship finalist like Murnan already confirmed his.
If Painter would have won, Cameron Menzies would have also claimed one so it’s disappointment also for the Scotsman.

- @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
