Van Barneveld halted on opening day of PDC European Q-School in penultimate game against Ljubic

Raymond van Barneveld has been halted on the opening day of action at Stage 1A of PDC European Q-School in the penultimate match against Pero Ljubic.

Van Barneveld missed match darts against the Croatian who will now have the chance to reach the final stage against Czech youngster Adam Gawlas.

Other games include Nico Kurz facing Michael Plooy, Geert de Vos against Lorenzo Pronk and Richard Veenstra taking on Remo Mandiau.

The top four will reach the Final Stage outright and will not have to return until the end of the week when Tour Cards will be on the line.

For Barney though, despite potentially doing enough already points wise, he will return tomorrow to aim to claim his spot outright.
