Development Tour 2019
Ryan Meikle took event three on Sunday with a 5-2 win over Greg Ritchie. Brian Raman hit a 9 Darter in event 4, with Ted Evetts taking that final event of the weekend and he now leads the DTOoM table.
‘Super’ Ted Evetts completed a weekend double on the PDC Unicorn Development Tour as he shared Sunday’s two event wins with Ryan Meikle in Wigan.
Evetts had begun the 2019 Development Tour season with success in Event One on Saturday, and claimed a further £2,000 in prize money by winning Event Four on Sunday evening. The emerging ace from Warwickshire proved too strong for Andrew Davidson by dropping just one leg, as he did in his semi-final win over Keane Barry and a quarter-final triumph against Ben Cheeseman.
Evetts also defeated two other former Development Tour event winners, George Killington and Ryan Meikle, on his way to a fifth title at this level. Belgian youngster Brian Raman, who made his UK Open debut last week, landed a nine-dart finish in the opening leg of his last 16 tie with Davidson – only to lose the contest 4-1.
Davidson overcame another UK Open qualifier, Callan Rydz, in the semi-finals and averaged 103 in his quarter-final whitewash of Jack Main during an impressive run. Event Three had seen Meikle claim his third Development Tour title as he defeated Greg Ritchie 5-2 in the final.
Meikle also overcame Dutch prospects Jeffrey de Zwaan and Geert Nentjes in the latter stages. See event draws, live scores and results in DartConnect.
