The annual quest for one of sixteen Amateur places at the PDC UK Open began again in recent days. Luke Littler and Jim Moston will make their Cazoo UK Open debuts in March after being amongst the opening Rileys Amateur Qualifiers for the event.
JDC World Junior Champion Littler celebrated his 16th birthday with victory in Saturday’s Rileys Chorlton Qualifier as he made an immediate impact at senior level.
The Warrington prospect will be one of the 16 Rileys Amateur Qualifiers to take part in March’s Cazoo UK Open at Butlin’s Minehead Resort.
He was joined in qualifying by 23-year-old talent Moston, who won Sunday’s Rileys Liverpool Qualifier, defeating Ash Khayat in the final.
Sunday’s first Rileys Amateur Qualifier from London Victoria was Stuart White, who has previously played in the UK Open in 2011, 2012 and 2015.
The Rileys Amateur Qualifiers continue on January 28-29 with further knockouts at the Rileys clubs in South Benfleet, London Victoria and Coventry.
Entries will cost £10 and are available through the Rileys website – with entry open to all players who do not hold a PDC Tour Card.
Online entries will close at 1700 GMT on the day before a qualifying event takes place.
Please note that some venues cannot permit entries for under-18s. Please see the Rileys website for full details.
Entries will be limited to a maximum of 150 players per qualifier at Coventry, Harlow, Liverpool, London Victoria, Solihull and South Benfleet.
