James Wilson, Darren Johnson, Justin Pipe, Andy Boulton and Robert Thornton secured double qualification success as 18 players booked their places in European Tour events Nine and 10 through the UK Qualifier.
Thornton, a winner on the European Tour back in 2015, beat Mark Webster and Lee Bryant to qualify for the European Darts Matchplay in Hamburg at the end of June.
He then edged out Peter Jacques in a last-leg decider before seeing off Jamie Caven in the second qualifier of the evening to book his place at the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim in August.
Huddersfield’s Wilson breezed past Bradley Brooks and Ryan Meikle in the first qualifier, before narrowly beating Lee Evans and Kevin Burness in the second.
Johnson had to come through a preliminary round in the first qualifier, beating Prakash Jiwa and then seeing off Terry Jenkins and Alan Norris in narrow-fashion to qualify.
In the second event he beat Peter Hudson and Ireland’s Steve Lennon to land his space in Hildesheim.
Boulton started his night with a 6-4 win over Ross Smith, then edged out Ross Twell and Jamie Lewis to qualify.
His good form continued as he then beat Jiwa, Colin Osbourne and Matthew Dennant to qualify.
Pipe looked comfortable in the first qualifier, beating Peter Hudson and Stephen Burton to progress.
And in the second he brushed aside Paul Rowley and Matthew Edgar to make it a double-qualification
