MODUS Super Series announces 'International Pairs' week including Thornton & Henderson for Scotland, plus King & West representing England
PDCWednesday, 23 April 2025 at 09:00
The MODUS Super Series will feature a special International Pairs Week at the beginning of next month. Twelve countries, each represented by two players, will compete over the course of a week to crown the first-ever champions of this unique tournament format.
The MODUS Super Series is a weekly darts competition featuring twelve players who battle it out from Monday to Friday for a place in the Saturday night finals. The top performer after three sessions earns direct qualification for the final evening. On Saturday night, the finalists compete in a mini group stage, followed by semi-finals and a final to determine the weekly winner.
However, starting on Monday, May 5th, the usual format will make way for a special edition: the International Pairs Week. In this event, twelve nations - each fielding a duo - will take to the oche for a week of high-stakes international action.
Group A, which runs from Monday to Wednesday, includes England, represented by Mervyn King and Steve West. They'll face tough competition from Scotland, fielding two seasoned veterans in Robert Thornton and John Henderson.
Also competing in Group A are:
Belgium, with Brian Raman and Xanti Van den Bergh
Kenya, represented by Peter Wachiuri and Manpreet Kalsi
Gibraltar, featuring Craig Galliano and Justin Hewitt
The Netherlands, with Jimmy van Schie and Danny van Trijp
Groups B and C kick off on Thursday. Group B currently includes:
Germany (David Schlichting and Marcel Althaus)
Ireland (Shane McGuirk and John O'Shea)
Wales (Richie Burnett and Kurt Parry)
Meanwhile, Group C consists of:
Poland (Lukasz Waclawski and Sebastian Steyer)
Northern Ireland (Neil Duff and Richard McKee)
France (Jacques Labre and Nicolas Thuillier)
Additional teams from Group A that do not secure direct qualification to Saturday’s final stage will be redistributed into Groups B and C to complete the lineup.

- Brilliant, Eric knew the risks and like most who die his age, bollox to being old and all that. Fair play to him and the rest of those who die young doing the same thing.Plaza15-06-2025
- So all of a sudden Littler is just a kid and it’s unfair as the Media’s darling golden boy gets the grief, never a problem though was it while it was Gerwyn Price. Been saying this for ages that something needs doing about crowd behaviour but the PDC don’t really care as long as the pissed up punters flock to Premier League night. The worry for the PDC is that as Littler has gone beyond the darts fan base and is the most high profile player in the world there is the risk that he is bigger than the PDC and then others with more clout (government for example) may start telling them to clean up their act. Bazza, Eddie and Porter will hate that.Mysstree15-06-2025
- As much as it's disappointing that England lost,Peter Wright's speculation didn't help himself and Gary either. It is, however, another pointless tournament. So,like the football club world cup,it means absolutely nothingrick6714-06-2025
- That poor trophy being next to that ! Oh my good god, what a hideous image !!richieburnettrocks10-06-2025
- Inspiration from walk on music Losing weight and trying to improve fitness from the dull as dishwater Dobey. The only inspiration Phil Taylor needed was to win and win and win. Players of today are pathetic, so vain and more obsessed with being popular or their walk on music than actually being dedicated to putting in the effort and winning something.richieburnettrocks08-06-2025
- Agree with much of this though as stated on the Rob cross thread and assuming he has a manager, he has not done a very good job. Wherever there is money there will always be those trying to get a cut, skim the cream from the top, more money in the game, more hangers on, fitness trainers, phycologists, accountants, social media analyst.Mysstree07-06-2025
- Thought Price managed the pace brilliantly — clinical early on, then just controlled the middle legs to stop Dekker building any rhythm. Was that game management though or just natural dominance?dartsmad06-06-2025
- Never come across as the brightest spark(y). Good manager, good accountant, not for Rob. £665k paid to a connected party …. hmmmm. How the hell has he escaped jail, sure i have seen people go inside for much less tax evasion.Mysstree05-06-2025
- This setup gives a free ride to guys at the bottom end of the ProTour qualification, where you get first round European Tour entry and Players Championship seeding. I reckon that if you beat every host nation qualifier and half the rest you could enter every major except the Grand Slam and earn £100k without ever beating a top-32 player.Scoobedybop05-06-2025
- Would agree that winning the League phase is the pinnacle. Imagine the tragedy if MVG had qualified without winning a night in fourth place then won the play offs. It just shows that the premier league is a money making jaunt for a few elites and the PDC and a night out for pissheads. Now it’s over its World Series time, another non ranked exhibition series thats no longer really needed. Bring back some serious tournaments like the Las Vegas Desert Classic..Mysstree02-06-2025
