Van Barneveld set to return as Players Championship entries released for Dublin double header
NewsThursday, 20 September 2018 at 09:00
The Players Championship returns at the end of September as a double header of action before the World Grand Prix takes place in Dublin.
As expected most of the world’s elite with their involvement in the tournament have entered into the Players Championship double header.
This includes Raymond van Barneveld who hasn’t really bothered with the ProTour this year with him not being seen since April. The same can be said for Mick McGowan who returns as well but he is involved anyway in the Tom Kirby Memorial Irish Matchplay so was expected to enter.
John Norman Jnr will also make the trip over with the Canadian taking part for the first time since the UK Open Qualifiers earlier this year. It will be probably be the last time before he inevitably loses his tour card later this year.
The likes of Ronnie Baxter, Royden Lam and Corey Cadby as expected will skip the double header with the latter due to ongoing visa issues which have still not been resolved.

- 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
