Jim Long "would love to get the chance" to play Phil Taylor after qualifying for World Seniors Darts Championship

From February 15 to 18, the third edition of the World Seniors Darts Championship will take place in Purfleet, England.
Last weekend some qualifying tournaments for the WSDT World Championship were held. Among them, Canadian Jim Long managed to qualify for his debut. "It feels pretty fantastic," admitted Long after securing his place. "The seniors I played last year were always the weekend before I played MODUS so this trip was all about playing the seniors and I just wanted to play well."
Long becomes the third Canadian to participate in the World Senior Championship after David Cameron and John Part. Now he's qualified does any particular draw standout to him?
"I'm so thrilled to be at the Circus Tavern. I don't care who I play in such an iconic venue. Dave and John are both good guys and great friends of mine," he says. "But I mean, who doesn't want to play Phil Taylor, really? I would love to get the chance to."
At the World Seniors Darts Championship, players over the age of 50 are allowed to compete if they do not hold a PDC Tour Card.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
