Draw released for PDC Players Championship 8: Anderson versus Hamilton among first round ties

Nathan Aspinall was the winner yesterday and he will hope for yet another Players Championship crown. He has drawn Madars Razma in the first round.

It is a pretty depleted field with many deciding to go home due to the lack of planes from tomorrow onwards to and from certain countries.

This means that alongside the likes of Mensur Suljovic, Gerwyn Price and Max Hopp who weren’t involved yesterday. Krzysztof Ratajski, Krzysztof Kciuk, Cristo Reyes, Toni Alcinas and Jesus Noguera; as well as Steffen Siepmann have all withdrawn.

This means that the likes of Colin Osborne, Diogo Portela and Dom Taylor among others are in Barnsley to make up the numbers.
