Updated Race to World Matchplay: Beaton and Henderson confirm spots
NewsWednesday, 27 June 2018 at 09:11
Tuesday saw Mervyn King claim the title but as well as that the race to the World Matchplay continuing with only two events now to the cut off there are still multiple spots up for grabs.
This is due to Alan Norris and Jelle Klaasen denting their hopes of World Matchplay qualification yesterday with early exits. Richard North as a result tied level with the Cobra but only has today to have a good run and confirm his spot.
Steve Beaton, John Henderson and James Wilson all confirmed their places yesterday meaning that eight spots are still insecure and with a few good runs players could sneak in.
Adrian Lewis in terms of the main Order of Merit has to be hoping for a good run today as yesterday he was out early and so couldn’t take advantage of Norris’ troubles, he like quite a lot of players still involved is not in Hamburg so has to hope it’s today he does it.

- 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
