Six Players Win Women's Spots

SIX further ladies have booked their spots in the last 32 of the PDC Unicorn Women's World Championship.

Stefanie Luck and Sabrina Sporle (pictured) won through the PDC Europe Qualifier for the event, which was held in Salzburg and featured 42 women competing for spots in Barnsley on Saturday June 12.

Luck, a 20-year-old student from Dietzenbach, has made a big impression recently on the German circuit and has competed against some of the sport's top players in PDC ProTour events on the continent this year.

Sporle, meanwhile, secured her place in the last 32 with a victory over Cornelia Hezjek in the semi-finals in Austria.

The duo are the latest international qualifiers for the last 32 of the tournament, who will play off on June 12 in Barnsley down to the final, which will be held on Sunday July 25 ahead of the StanJames.com World Matchplay final in Blackpool.

The 11 international qualifiers and Anastasia Dobromyslova, the only active female PDPA member at present, will be joined by 20 Rileys Qualifiers in the last 32.

The first four Rileys Qualifiers were held over the weekend in Darts Zones at Rileys clubs around the country.

German-based Irina Armstrong defeated Jayne Moulsley in Bournemouth to win through to the last 32, while Tara Deamer was the qualifier from London's Victoria club.

Clare Bywaters was the winner in Worcester, at an event where world number five Terry Jenkins was supporting wife Jackie in her bid to qualify, while Mablethorpe's Ann Chilton was the winner in the Hull qualifier.
