Nathan Rafferty has claimed a third career PDC
Development Tour title with victory over Daniel Perry in the final of Event Five.
Rafferty saw off Ted Evetts (4-2), Bradley Brooks (5-1), Cameron Anderson (5-4) before defeating Perry. It is his first since the second event of 2019 and also the first tournament of the weekend which did not see Dom Taylor in the final with the Order of Merit leader out in the first round.
The tour is open to players between the ages of 16 and 23, provided they are not in the top-32 of the regular world ranking on January 4, 2021 and it is split between UK and European due to Coronavirus.
The Development Tour ranking is based on the prize money won. At the end of the season, the winners of both rankings (European and British Development Tour) will receive an invitation to the upcoming Grand Slam of Darts, the World Darts Championship and a Tour Card for 2022 and 2023.
