FORMER European Tour winners Adrian Lewis, Raymond van Barneveld, Mervyn King, Justin Pipe and Robert Thornton were amongst the 18 UK Qualifiers for April’s HappyBet German Darts Masters on Friday night.

World number four Lewis secured his spot in the Easter event in Jena by overcoming Adrian Gray and Scott Taylor at Arena MK in Milton Keynes to headline the 18 UK Qualifiers.

Five-time World Champion Van Barneveld defeated Luke Woodhouse and then edged out in-form Darren Johnson 6-5 as he secured his spot in the £135,000 tournament.

King dropped just three legs in his wins over Andy Boulton and Mark Barilli, while another former European Tour winner, Thornton, whitewashed Paul Rowley and then defeated former World Youth Champion Keegan Brown as he progressed.

Justin Pipe – the winner of the 2012 Austrian Darts Open in the inaugural European Tour event – battled past Richie Burnett and South Africa’s Warrick Scheffer to seal his spot in Jena.

Ronnie Baxter edged out former European Tour winner Steve Beaton 6-5 in their decider as he won through, while former Lakeside Champion Mark Webster qualified at the expense of William O’Connor and Paul Nicholson.

Northern Ireland’s Daryl Gurney overcame Lee Bryant and James Richardson to move into the main event, but his fellow countryman Mickey Mansell lost out to Australia’s Kyle Anderson in their decider.

Welsh aces Jamie Lewis, Jonny Clayton and Robert Owen joined Webster in qualifying, alongside English throwers Robbie Green, Brian Woods, Andrew Gilding, Joe Murnan, Ricky Evans and Ted Evetts.
