De Vreede, Gotthardt, Martinez and Ferreira claim Final Stage spots from Day Two Group 1B at PDC European Q-School

The second day of action is complete with Group 1B concluding at PDC European Q-School and only one more day for players to reach the Final Stage in Niedernhausen.

For Ryan de Vreede, Paulo Ferreira, Kai Gotthardt and Tony Martinez, they have claimed their spots outright while other players are very much on the cusp and are likely already through.

De Vreede took out Vincent van der Meer who is one of those players currently top of the Order of Merit. While Alexander Merkx is also seemingly safe after losing to Paulo Ferreira, another Portuguese ace successfully joining the ranks this year.

While Kai Gotthardt was in no matter what but claimed it outright and Tony Martinez after flashes in the opening day of brilliance eased past Willem Mandigers.

As a result alongside the aforementioned names, these players are also automatically qualified - Mario Vandenbogaerde, Damian Mol, Stefan Bellmont, Andreas Harrysson, Daniel Klose, Thibault Tricole, Ricardo Pietreczko, Wesley Plaisier, Bent Lambertsen, Dragutin Horvat, Jens Ziegler, Lukas Wenig.

There are eight more over the two split sessions tomorrow with the rest to come from the Order of Merit.
