Brooks defeated Damon Heta in a 5-3 win as he regained his Tour Card at the first time of asking and to dispel the disappointment of the opening day for him. The 19-year old will now hope to kick on while 'The Heat' looks handily placed after a good second day.
Leung on the other hand was facing Lisa Ashton who could have become the first woman to come through Q-School and win a Tour Card but he produced some magnificent darts like he has in the past few days to edge past The Lancashire Rose in a 5-4 victory. The Hong Kong ace will now join the PDC Tour for the first time.
Ashton went behind in the early stages but ended up pulling the match back with a brilliant 130 checkout to make it 3-3 and put the pressure back onto Leung.
Despite getting down to a finish first though on her throw, it was Leung who went one away on his own throw from gaining a Tour Card.
A timely 140 left Ashton 68 to break throw again and throw for the match herself in the next leg. Chances were given to Leung but he couldn't convert 110, as a result Ashton pinned double 10 to sent it all the way.
Leung was averaging 120 to start the next leg as he attempted to break throw and win. A 180 for him left 81 after nine and he left himself 32 with Ashton not able to take out 170 and he pinned 32 as a result for the win.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
