Barry claims maiden PDC Development Tour title with victory over Order of Merit leader Meikle
PDC
Keane Barry has claimed PDC Development Tour Eight to put himself in the reckoning for a World Championship and Tour Card spot with two events to go.
It is a maiden Development Tour title for the Irishman and he has become the third Irish player to win a title on the secondary tour.
En route he saw off some of Development Tour's top names in Niels Zonneveld (5-1) and Berry van Peer (5-1) before then defeating Ryan Meikle, the current leader in the Development Tour in the final.
As a result currently he leads by over £2,000 ahead of Barry and Berry van Peer who is just behind in third place. Damian Mol, Ted Evetts and Kevin Doets followed with all three claiming event wins this weekend.
Barry is currently on a World Championship spot and Tour Card going into the final day with Meikle on the former due to him currently being a Tour Card holder for another year. While Van Peer holds the second Tour Card.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
