Highest averages from Day Three of Final Stage of UK Q-School 2025 including Beau Greaves, Jim Long & Andy Boulton
PDC
The Final Stage of the UK Q-School will be held in Milton Keynes from Thursday to Sunday. On the third day, the victory went to Tavis Dudeney. The Englishman defeated Adam Paxton 6-4 in the final, capturing a PDC Tour Card for the next two years. The highest average of the day, however, belonged to a Scot.
Greg Ritchie was 6-2 too strong for Charlie Manby at the last 32, posting an average of 102.27, no one did better on the third day of the Final Stage of the UK Q-School. Ritchie eventually stranded in the semifinals after a 6-5 defeat to Dudeney. The Scot is in a particularly good position in the Order of Merit, though. He is now second with eight points, the top nine eventually securing a PDC Tour Card.
The second highest average came in the name of Andy Boulton. The Scot was 6-0 too strong for Kirk De Ruyter in the second round, averaging 101.33. Boutlton eventually lost 6-5 to Ted Evetts in the last 32. He is currently seventh in the Order of Merit with five points, so it will be an exciting final day for Boulton.
The top three is completed by the only North American in the field, Canadian Jim Long. He was too strong at the last 64 with a 6-2 win over Karl Williams, posting an average of 101.01. Long eventually lost 6-5 to Darryl Pilgrim at the last 16. He is currently 23rd in the Order of Merit with two points.
More notable names towards the high end of the average list from Day Three include the likes of Beau Greaves, who averaged 98.80 in a thrilling 6-5 victory over Steve Hine, Mervyn King 98.48 and Darryl Pilgrim 99.77.
Today is the last match day of the Final Phase of the European Q-School. For the winner of the day a PDC Tour Card for the next two years is waiting. For many players it is also a last chance to move up the Order of Merit and still have a shot at a Tour Card.

- How is going on holiday with your family a snub?Mysstree12-01-2025
- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025

- "For the past 20 years, the Grand Prix winner was there every time" Because all former winners were Top 8 players, as simple as that. "Now they say you get into the Premier League based on results. So apparently that's not the case" Results ? You just have ONE result over 2 years. Without these 3 days wonders, you wouldn't be Top 32... "Aspinall and Price. They didn't deserve it" Maybe, but never seems that you do. Other players must be picked before.cycyP309-01-2025
- Premier League is nothing more now than a pantomime where the crowd turn up and boo at the villain and cheer on the hero while getting pissed out their brains. Basically its the WWE of darts.Mysstree09-01-2025
- Is this the start of an attempt to say that he (Littler) is the best ever as he has won most money. Perhaps adjust all prize money earned by allowing for inflation. If Littler gets close too (does not even have to overtake) both MVG’s and Taylor’s Major titles total then he is in the conversation. Indicates to me that the prize money is skewed to much towards the top players, meritocracy must rule but a fair distribution of the money is needed otherwise its only ever about a select few.Mysstree09-01-2025
- £500 for 3 games seems so steep especially for those that lost 5-0 each time. I used to think Conan Whitehead was going to be a great player and was improving through the BDO but has just fizzled outrichieburnettrocks09-01-2025
- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Safely through to the final stage an closing in on that card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2025
- It is shocking and unbelievable that 2 Hotty who was always such a decent player, 2 time World Champion and won the Grand Slam when it meant something. He really should have joined the PDC earlier. He has just disappeared off the radar. Such a shame when one of your favourite players just dissappears. I guess he is concentrating on the carpentry. I made a sign at Lakeside which must have been the biggest ever. It said we're potty for 2 Hotty, each word was on its own flip chart sheet of paper and gaffer taped together. Maybe Scotty should return to the WDF or whatever it is now.richieburnettrocks09-01-2025
