Corey Cadby has his eyes set on bigger and better things after an opening day success at PDC Q-School.
Australian star Cadby had been expected to attend Q-School in 2017, only to remain in Australia to focus on his development. The 22-year old tasted success in Wigan at the very first attempt to earn a place on the Pro Tour. Cadby defeated Dave Prins, Jack Todd, Gavin James, Tom Gregory, John O'Shea, John Mann and Nathan Rafferty at Robin Park. In the semi-finals, he defeated 19-year-old Callan Rydz to confirm professional status.
"I'm absolutely over the moon," the 2016 World Youth champion said. "Everyone expected I would be here, but I wasn't ready. I'm here this year and I've done my job on day one.
"No game was easy but it's mission accomplished. My focus is really good, and I hit the doubles which is what wins you games.
"It gives me a bit more confidence knowing what I'm capable of. I've been throwing with new darts for a couple of weeks and to manage to get through Q School means a lot."
The starlet has already made various appearances on the big stage. Cadby averaged more than 100 on his World Championship debut, and reached the Auckland Darts Masters final. Phil Taylor is among his growing fan club, but Cadby reserved gratitude for those closest to him.
"My manager believed in me and so did my partner, and that gave me the boost to push on. I can't wait to come up against bigger things and better things," he said.

- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Having been at Lakeside all week, I am glad it's over. It is not the same and the atmosphere is completely flat. Ultimately, I think they should reduce the format for the men, just make it 32 not 64. It's very long winded and completely rushed and compacted towards the last few days. Mitchell is an excellent player but had to play a 6 set boys final just hours before his 9 set mens final. If the whole competition was spread out he would have not been forced to play 2 major finals in an afternoon, it is ridiculous and Sophie McKinlay had the same situation last year.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025

- Saying Littler failed at lakeside is a little harsh. He lost to Veenstra with a record 104 average.BandB05-12-2025
- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
