Mark McGrath lost out to Raymond van Barneveld in the Quarter-Finals of the Auckland Darts Masters but this has seemingly inspired ‘The Cowboy’ to pursue a PDC tour card in 2019.
McGrath spoke to Newshub and said that he will continue in his efforts to qualify for Lakeside; but then he will go to Q-School.
For the Leeds born Kiwi he admits that his years are limited but his love for the game hasn’t gone.
"I'm still in the running to go to the British Darts Organisation (BDO) world championships at Lakeside, so I'm going to crack on with that, and then I'll look to go to Q-School," McGrath told Newshub.
"My years are limited but I'm still young on the inside, and I still have a love for the game.
"Competing in Auckland was about character building and giving something back to my team because they have been great to me over the years.
"The future of darts in New Zealand is in a promising place."
