Talented youngster Luke Littler qualified earlier this month for the UK Open, the next major tournament at the PDC. But Littler is not the only 16-year-old talent to make his appearance in Minehead.
Last weekend, 16-year-old Thomas Banks managed to qualify for the UK Open via one of the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers. Through these Rileys Amateur Qualifiers, 16 amateur darters get the opportunity to compete against PDC Tour Card holders at the FA Cup of Darts.
Banks was the strongest at the qualifying tournament in Harlow, near London. Qualifiers were also held in Chorlton and London Victoria. Those were won by Callum Loose and Darryl Pilgrim respectively.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
