Qualifier Trio Complete World Seniors Matchplay Field

Red Dragon Darts

Brian Dawson, Paul Hogan and Colin McGarry will all head to the Bonus Arena in Hull for the 3-day World Seniors Darts Tour televised event.

Dawson, a former BDO World Championship participant was the first to secure his spot, winning the first qualifier on Saturday.
‘Doggy’ defeated Scotland’s Jim McEwan in the final setting up a match with Tony O’Shea in the the preliminary round of the World Seniors Matchplay.
The Yorkshireman also accounted for Andy Jenkins and Colin McGarry on his run to victory.

Paul Hogan also sealed his spot by winning outright. Crocodile Dundee defeated another Yorkshireman, Martyn Turner, in the final on Sunday.

Hogan, a late addition to the World Seniors Darts Tour, was beaten by David Cameron in the World Seniors Masters Qualifier just a few weeks ago. This time, the Berkshire man went one better and will head to Hull to take on Lisa Ashton in the preliminary round.

Northern Irishman Colin McGarry completes the trio, qualifying as the top player on the World Seniors Order of Merit. The Chief has attended every WSDT floor event so far, even winning the first warm-up competition back in November of last year.

McGarry has been unable to replicate that success in qualifying or ranking events so far, but his sheer consistency saw him overtake Richie Howson on Saturday for the first time, and he entered day 2 leading by 2 points.
That lead became unassailable when Howson fell in the Last 16 to Jim Walker, handing McGarry his shot at the 1982 World Champion, Keith Deller.

Interviews with all 3 players will be available by midnight today via the World Seniors YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC03cMdwInm8WsFsriJXjinQ
