Last Sunday, the first stage of the PDC World Youth Championship was played. In it, Gian van Veen and Luke Littler qualified for the final.
That final of this World Youth Championship will be played later this year, on November 26 to be exact, during the final day of the Players Championship Finals. "I'm over the moon. It was such a great day," said Van Veen, who finished first in the Development Tour final standings this year.
"I did it the hard way but I knew that was going to be the case. I was really happy with my game today, and I played well all weekend, so I'm very happy," continues Van Veen, who sent reigning champion Josh Rock packing on his route to making the final.
Van Veen is therefore eagerly looking forward to the final. "This gives me so much confidence. I think it's going to be a fantastic game against Luke and I'm really looking forward to Minehead."

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
