Beau Greaves shaking her fist
The Hungarian Darts Trophy is due to take place between August 28-30 and 10 spots were available today in the European Tour Tour Card Holder Qualifier. Taking place in Leicester, Beau Greaves as well as Raymond van Barneveld and Peter Wright were aiming to qualify. Greaves though in particular stole the headlines.

This year despite her having an incredible maiden foray on the ProTour, she has yet to qualify for a European Tour. A somewhat baffling occurrence for the dominant force in women's darts. But that is often the way with these qualifiers which are short format and only a few games.
One narrow defeat is the difference between qualifying or not and Greaves had to play well to win through. She saw off Tom Bissell in the final round 6-4 with a 103 average. This after wins over Arno Merk 6t-4, Charlie Manby 6-2 and Andy Boulton 6-4.

Greaves makes history

She becomes the first woman ever to play on the European Tour hence making history in the process again. Somewhat of a regular thing for Greaves nowadays.
Cristo Reyes also makes his European Tour return again as part of the ten. He eased past Mickey Mansell and alongside Greaves was the only player to average over 100 in the last round. He won 6-1 and after reaching a ProTour final this week, he gets a trip to Budapest also. Like many of the new contingent though, it is very much the case that he won't be playing qualifiers for long given his ProTour placing.
Cristo Reyes claps.
Cristo Reyes continues to excel.
Also through was Keane Barry who saw off Ryan Meikle 6-5 in the final round. Ritchie Edhouse defeated Sebastian Bialecki with 'Madhouse' being second seed. Tom Sykes who performed so well in Bratislava is also back on the European Tour for Event 11. He defeated Greg Ritchie 6-4.

Maik Kuivenhoven also took down Cam Crabtree, while Aussie ace Adam Leek also finds a spot as he saw off Adam Lipscombe 6-4. James Hurrell who celebrates his birthday also is through seeing off Callan Rydz. While Connor Scutt was a 6-4 victor over Madars Razma.
Peter Wright and Raymond van Barneveld's woes continue as they lost in the first round. Luke Humphries is top seed with Gian van Veen, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price also involved.
