ROWBY-JOHN RODRIGUEZ and Cristo Reyes enjoyed double success by securing places in May's Peperami Gibraltar Darts Trophy and the HappyBet European Darts Matchplay in Hamburg at the European Qualifiers on Friday.
In the opening European Qualifier, Rodriguez narrowly edged past Rene Eidams 6-5, before beating his brother Roxy-James convincingly 6-1 to reach the board final, where he squeezed past Vincent van der Meer to secure his qualification spot.
Meanwhile Reyes dropped just four legs on his route to qualification for the Gibraltar event. In his opening game he saw off Krzysztof Ratajski 6-3, before a strong 6-1 victory over Jyhan Artut and a 6-0 demolition of Marko Kantele.
The pair were joined by Max Hopp, Jermiane Wattimena, Michael Rasztovits, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Christian Kist and Antonio Alcinas in qualifying as the field was completed for the Peperami Gibraltar Darts Trophy from May 6-8.
In the HappyBet European Darts Matchplay European Qualifier, Rodriguez was made to work hard for his spot. After entering in the second round, he squeezed past Dutch ace Jerry Hendriks 6-5 and followed that by beating Jerry van den Ven by the same narrow scoreline.
Also entering in the second round, Reyes stuffed Mariusz Paul 6-0 before toppling Dutch giant Vincent Kamphuis 6-4 to book his place in Hamburg.
