Team360 would have three representatives at PDC Q-School with Keelan Kay, Nathan Potter and
Connor Hopkins all searching for a glimpse of pro tour action. It was a sensational start from
Plymouth thrower Kay, who reached the final stage courtesy of a last 16 run on day one.
Potter would position similarly after reaching the last 32 on day one, but narrowly missed out after
early exits on the following two days. Hopkins would have his best moment on day two as he
chalked up his first win, but not to be this year for the Welshman.
The four day final stage would see Kay defeated by JDC star Thomas Banks in his opener, with Darren
Webster getting the better of him on day two. ‘The Lord of the Board’ would show signs of promise
on day three defeating Danny Lauby and Kai Fan Leung to reach the last 16. With the tour card
coming into view on the final day of action, it wouldn’t be this time for Kay as he was again defeated
early on by Matt Caste.
There was an impressive showing from Cori Wiltshire at the JDC Q-School. Following a final at
Brown’s Bar earlier in the week, the former Cadet reached a last 16 and quarter-final on Saturday
before suffering early exits on day two. Rebecca Allen recorded mirrored results to Wiltshire,
reaching a last 16 and then a quarter-final in the final two events.
Adam Dee claimed his first ADC Vault win over 2024 after a strong end to the previous season,
making his televised debut on the famous Lakeside stage. Although an 88 average in the group stage
would lead the averages, an 83 was enough to see off Jack Courtney in the final four. He then held
his nerve in a deciding leg to defeat Katie Sheldon in a highly competitive final.
