The PDC
World Youth Championship in Milton Keynes has now progressed to the last sixteen. Defending champion
Josh Rock escaped early elimination at the last 32.
The Northern Irishman fell behind 5-4 in his match against Llew Bevan, but barely broke the Welshman in the tenth leg with a 17-darter. A 13-darter made it 6-5 for Rock, who will face Jarno Bottenberg in his next match.
Bottenberg is one of six Dutchmen who still have a chance at a place in the final. Gian van Veen, Moreno Blom, Wessel Nijman, Jurjen van der Velde and Jitse van der Wal are also still in the tournament. The same goes for title favorites Keane Barry, Luke Littler and former winner Bradley Brooks.
