Raymond van Barneveld has began his darting comeback on Day One of 2021 PDC European Q-School with an early victory over Adis Ljubijankic.
Van Barneveld averaged 84 in the Last 128 on Day One of Stage 1A and despite having a long way to go to book his spot in the Final Stage has began his comeback in the best way possible.
The last four players from each of the three days in Stage One will move through automatically but also there will be spots up for grabs through the Order of Merit route.

- Ahhh if only Jacquie dressed like this bint above, she'd still be presenting. Jacquie was absolutely fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, immaculately attired and beautiful. It seems nowadays, females presenting on darts have to show skin and be completely clueless, relying on whoever is telling them what to say in their earpiece. I still don't understand how the walk on girls were axed, yet you have scantily clad dancers with pom poms and presenters with see through tops, clearly exposing their bra or showing more leg than that Sharon Stone film. I'll never watch ITV darts again, such a shame as it was the world leader.richieburnettrocks11-01-2026
- Agree with Anderson. Little is hitting big averages, but that only replaces Taylor and MVG from previous.BandB10-01-2026
- They could have put a hologram of Gary Anderson in the PL instead of Bunting and I would have kept my PDC.TV subscription.thebogeyman10-01-2026
- Can't agree more bud,you were a true champion, whatever demons attacked you,and a real good lad. Leave the pot noodles though bud!rick6709-01-2026
- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026
- What's he moaning about? His dad not letting him borrow his drill bits to throw with? Come on boy,the dartboard doesn't move,if you're like this now,best you get driving for Uber,and shut up lad. Gamesmanship is part of it,grow your hair or grow a pairrick6707-01-2026
- Bunting over Noppy? No thanks, I'm out. My PDC sub lapses at the end of the month, maybe I'll renew it for the next WDC.thebogeyman06-01-2026
- I definitely won't be watching this tripe. Picking fatty Bunting so he can mime and do those pathetic hand gestures in a desperate attempt to appease the crowd is completely criminal. This worthless goof and peoples chump is taking home ยฃ80000 from the competition Why not pick Justin Hood? A refreshing and very popular characterrichieburnettrocks05-01-2026
- With those averages,I can really not see anyone quaking in their shoes!rick6705-01-2026
