Fallon Sherrock and Beau Greaves both require strong final days at Q-School to earn PDC Tour Cards after they fell short of securing ones on Saturday.
Greaves, 21, had failed to claim any points on the first two days of Q-School in Milton Keynes but a quarter-final run on Saturday saw her move up to 17th on the Order of Merit and into the mix.
Sherrock endured a disappointing day three where she was knocked out early in the last 64 – losing 6-3 to eventual finalist Adam Paxton – and failed to add any further points, the result of which sees her drop to 23rd on the Order of Merit. She may need at least a semi-final run on Sunday in order to claim a Tour Card.
Greaves, meanwhile, defeated Josh Payne, Lewis Pride, Steve Hine and Cam Crabtree before losing 6-3 to Darryl Pilgrim in the last eight.
Tavis Dudeney and Dennie Olde Kalter were the players who did secure PDC Tour Cards on Saturday – both for the first time – after prevailing on the penultimate day of action at the 2025 Qualifying Schools.
Day three saw 20-year-old Dudeney break new ground with an impressive 6-4 victory against Paxton.
The Brighton-born star – the latest product of the Junior Darts Corporation system to move onto the PDC ProTour – converted a stunning 126 checkout to topple Paxton in a high-quality affair, after he edged out Scotland’s Greg Ritchie in a dramatic semi-final clash.
Meanwhile, Olde Kalter defeated Sweden’s World Cup quarter-finalist Oskar Lukasiak 6-4 to clinch his place on the ProTour for the next two years with success at the European Qualifying School.
Sunday will offer a final opportunity for players to win Tour Cards, with play commencing at 12pm in Milton Keynes.
In addition to the daily Tour Card winners, a further 21 Tour Cards will be awarded on a pro-rata basis to players from the respective Final Stage Orders of Merit following Day Four – 12 in Europe, and nine in the UK.
Bradley Brooks and Cor Dekker have secured their Tour Cards via the respective Orders of Merit going into Sunday’s fourth day of action in Final Stage.
