Former World Championship qualifiers Dietmar Burger, Hannes Schnier and Kevin Munch were amongst the final qualifiers for the Austrian Darts Championship on Thursday night.

Austrian duo Burger and Schnier were amongst the five Host Nation Qualifiers to secure their spot in the European Tour event at the Multiversum Schwechat in Vienna.

Rusty-Jake Rodriguez joins brother Rowby-John in the main event after he qualified, although the elder Rodriguez sibling - Roxy-James - was edged out 6-5 by Burger in their decider.

Christian Goedl will make his European Tour debut on Friday, while Alex Steinbauer makes his second appearance at this level, having previously competed in the 2018 Austrian Darts Open.

German left-hander Munch defeated Robert Allenstein in their decider in the West & South Europe Qualifier to secure his place in a third European Tour event of the year.

Belgian ace Mike De Decker will be playing in his fifth European Tour event of 2019, after seeing off Wilco Vermeulen in their final qualifying game.
