YOUNGSTER Keegan Brown has withdrawn from the German Darts Championship European Tour event through illness.
The 19-year-old from the Isle of Wight had been one of the Qualifiers for the second European Tour event, which begins at the Tempodrom in Berlin on Friday.
However, after being struck down by illness this week, Brown has been advised by his doctor not to travel to Berlin, and withdrawn from the event.
As such, his scheduled first round opponent Kevin Painter now receives a Bye into the second round of the event.
The games which had been schedule on Stage Two to follow the Painter v Brown match will each now commence approximately 30 minutes earlier due to the withdrawal.
The revised schedule for Stage Two on Friday evening is now:
Colin Lloyd v Alex Roy
Jamie Caven v Michael Mansell
Terry Jenkins v Magnus Caris
Brendan Dolan v Kevin Munch
Steve Beaton v Kim Huybrechts
Ronnie Baxter v Andy Jenkins
Gary Anderson v Michael Barnard
