Richard North and Mervyn King move into tentative World Grand Prix spots
NewsWednesday, 28 March 2018 at 12:00
Richard North and Mervyn King are both in good form and this is helping their cause for qualifying for the World Grand Prix later this year. Both players have played in the event before with North making his debut last year and King having a best of a final in the event.
King is currently 11th in the Pro Tour Order of Merit with minimum money added to ETs 2-9 qualifiers barring the seeds in the table below. North is just below him in 13th place.
Like previously alluded to, the event could gleam debuts for Corey Cadby, Ron Meulenkamp and Krzysztof Ratajski who are all in good form. Outside of contention as a result currently include Jeffrey de Zwaan but only just with Steve West the final player in the top 16.
The likes of Steve Beaton, former Grand Prix champion Robert Thornton & Kyle Anderson are outside both Order of Merits but of course still have a chance of making the event at the Citywest with it being early days in the season.

- 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
- @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
