Results Flanders Darts Trophy Tour Card Holder Qualifier Round-up | Beau Greaves makes it a third consecutive European Tour qualification as Raymond van Barneveld set for return
PDC
The first European Tour Card Holder Qualifier of the day in
Hildesheim sees the darters fight it out for one of the spots in the Flanders
Darts Trophy which will take place in Antwerp from September 11-13. Beau
Greaves, Michael Smith and Peter Wright were among the names to battle it out.

10 were available with Greaves headlining the victorious group
after averaging 102.47 in the final match against James Hurrell. Cristo Reyes
also makes it a hat-trick of consecutive European Tour events successfully qualified
for in another eye-catching display.
It is a welcome return for Raymond van Barneveld who has not
participated since Graz. He did not manage to average over 90 throughout the
whole session but still had the tools to come out on top in each game competed
in.
Bradley Brooks and Jim Long took down established opponents
in the form of Kim Huybrechts and Charlie Manby 6-1 respectively while Karel Sedlacek
whitewashed Brendan Dolan to confirm his place in Antwerp. The other names to successfully qualify include Jeffrey de
Graaf, Stephen Burton and Chris Landman.
Smith, Wright and Chisnall fall short
Former world champions Smith and Wright ended their day
short of their goal. Most notably the 2023 world champion who was whitewashed 6-0
against Tyler Thopre. Wright could do nothing about an impressive Manby who
averaged 100.
Dave Chisnall is an eight-time European Tour champion but
will not be among the challengers in Belgium after a first round exit in an
unusual setting for him. 2024 European champion Ritchie Edhouse sees another
European Tour event come and go before his eyes with the ranking money earned
from that major success very vulnerable.

The best display of the day went to Richard Veenstra in one
of the first matches completed. He averaged 103.57 in his last 160 match but immediately
lost to fellow Dutchman Landman.
Once a regular on the European Tour, Dave Chisnall is starting to struggle to qualify for events
It is set to be a stacked field in the Flanders Darts
Trophy. Luke Littler is set to make his European Tour return and will be the
number one seed with Luke Humphries not far behind. The likes of Gian van Veen,
Michael van Gerwen, Jonny Clayton, James Wade, Josh Rock, Gerwyn Price, Stephen
Bunting and Gary Anderson will also hunt for glory.

- Well,I suppose if you don't play the tournaments ,then why should any player qualify? There are players who enter every tournament,and if they don't win it,they carry on, spending money they haven't won,yet certain players seem to think they should qualify. Winners only I thinkrick6714-11-2026
- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
