Andy Jenkins believes PDC not taking amateur game seriously: "I think the management are bang out of order"

Andy Jenkins only allowed Bob Anderson one leg as he breezed past 'The Limestone Cowboy' to reach the Last 16 of the World Seniors Darts Championship.

He will now play Richie Howson in a venue that holds both fond memories and also of a thrashing to Raymond van Barneveld.

"It was hard because obviously you're playing a legend. Bob Anderson is a quality darts player, been quality for years and put darts on the map," said Jenkins to Online Darts.

"Last time I was here, I lost in the semi-final to Barney. He got lucky, beat me 6-0."

Speaking honestly, he said about his current game and that he thinks the PDC are not taking the amateur game seriously and that reflects in the gruelling Challenge Tour which sees multiple events in one day which is meant to mirror the ProTour.

"My game is enjoying it, my game is playing MODUS (Super Series), Challenge Tour, not playing ProTour because you can get bashed up every week and I think they need to find out the amateur game is just as good as the pro game.

"I went to Q-School to try and play but they're just looking at the top end of darts, they're not looking at the mediocre but when certain people get through, they want to praise that up."

"They've obviously changed the ProTour to 1pm. Now we're playing Challenge Tour two in one day but why. Getting up at 9am, give us a break. I think the management are bang out of order. I can't say what I want to think and Matt Porter hello."
