John O'Shea looks ahead to joining PDC ProTour after Q-School triumph: "Chaos is definitely coming"

Former World Master, John O'Shea joined the PDC ProTour claiming his Tour Card at Q-School as he went all the way from the opening stage to the Final Stage.
"It was just a rollercoaster wasn't it, up and down. No points on the first day, you run out of days pretty fast. I suppose even starting with the Stage One part, I was lucky to get to the Quarter-Finals and automatically go straight through so I had a day off in between the Last `128 stage. I was grateful for that day off," said O'Shea to Weekly Dartscast.
He could have won it outright but an injury prevented that as he lost to eventual day winner, Ross Montgomery.
"I was feeling really good but my ankle in the Ross Montgomery came at me when I went 4-3 up. I just could not concentrate, my darts were all over the place. I got ice and a heat pack on it, we strap it up the following day. It was fine, it was just one of those things, a lot of standing around and a lot of darts."
But that disappointment turned into elation for 'The Joker' who found out he claimed a Tour Card and he summed up his emotions.
"Even the night before with the six points going into the last day, we had spoke about it. I was probably more calmer on the last day playing Shaun (Griffiths) than I was throughout the week. I blew a 5-2 lead and he played really well. He stuck with me and took his chances. I had three darts at double eight and I missed and that was it."
"After Shaun's game, I went out and sat down. I was just daydreaming for a while. I clicked on my phone and refreshed it, my name turned green. There was actually no one at the table, I had a moment to myself to pull myself together, I was absolutely thrilled."
"I can honestly say the amount of time and effort I've put in over 25-30 years is extraordinary for a sport I love."
But how does it rank compared to his World Masters triumph? It is a close second for O'Shea who also sent an ominous warning to the rest of the field.
"The World Masters is still up there at the top but a Tour Card is a good second. I'd like to think I'd do ok when it starts up, nothing fazes me. I've played these guys before and I was able to hold my own. I think I'm a far better player now. Chaos is definitely coming."

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024
- He has Guillerme Barre Syndrome. Nerve damage due to autoimmune response. Could take him months to recover if at all.medinabello23-12-2024

- C'MON HEMPS!!medinabello23-12-2024
- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
- F the bettors. Mugs they are. Anyone could tell this is a 50 50 game or Hempel slight favourite going on form.medinabello23-12-2024
- Hard to play slow players. Does your head in.medinabello23-12-2024
- What do you mean again?medinabello23-12-2024
- Get his wife to work so that he can retire. Do the seniors tour, Modus, exbos. He'll still be doing alright.medinabello23-12-2024
