Edgar and Thornton not starting during final event of Challenge Tour weekend in Leicester

Matthew Edgar and Robert Thornton have decided not to compete in the 20th PDC Challenge Tour tournament of the season on Sunday.

Edgar is just returning from a wrist and elbow injury and was not planning to play the whole weekend anyway. ''I did enter 3/5 thinking I could manage it but it’s too much for me at the moment. I will continue treatment and hope to be back in competition darts this December'', he wrote on Twitter.

Thornton, who lost a final this weekend, withdrew due to illness for the final tournament on Sunday. The Scot lost to Wesley Plaisier in the final on Friday night.
