And so... Ireland's Junior Darts Corporation qualifiers for the 2019 World Cup & World championships are now complete.

After 3 seasons which comprised 24 weeks in total we have our nine players who will travel to Gibraltar to represent Ireland at The 2019 Junior Darts Corporation World Cup / International Open & World Championship from September 24th - September 26th 2019.

All Players will play in ALL 3 tournaments.

Galway's Dylan Dowling has qualified to play in the World Championships (This being Dylan's third time to play in the JDC World championship and will also compete in The International Open.

On Tuesday September 24th, The PDPA World cup is the first tournament on the agenda, A tournament where Team Ireland came runners up in Bristol UK in December 2018 narrowly losing out to The Netherlands after defeating them in the group stage.

And on Wednesday September 25th we have The International open where JDC Ireland's Wicklow's Sean Cummins came runner up in Bristol UK in December 2018.

...And then the big one...

On Thursday September 26th is the 2019 Scott Farms Junior Darts Corporation World Championship.

Again another tournament where Ireland was successful in Bristol UK in December 2018 with JDC Ireland's Kidare's Killian Heffernan reaching the semi finals.

As every other year the finalists of this tournament contest the final at the holy grail of darts The Alexandria Palace London during the 2019/2020 Professional Darts Corporation World Championships.

Junior Darts Corporation Ireland founder Carlow's Keith O' Neill (Pictured here with Junior Darts Corporation founder Steve Brown) is extremely proud of all the players that have worked so hard to guarantee qualification for these prestigious Junior Darts Corporation events and anticipates a very successful 3 days in Gibraltar.

"JDC Ireland have players that can compete at the very highest level and can match any junior dart player in the world, along with JDC Ireland coaches (Dublin's Stephen Sheldon & Brian Doherty and Keith's daughter Carlow's Zoe Doyle) we have seen first hand on a weekly basis what these players are capable of not only at last years events but every single week at JDC Ireland headquarters at The Roadstone group sports club Tallaght, Dublin"

Keith added "When I formed Junior Darts Corporation Ireland over 3 years ago it was with the sole intention of having the first ever Junior Darts World champion from the Island of Ireland and with us being runner up in both the 2018 World Cup & European Open along with semi-finalists of The 2018 World Championships I truly believe we are still on course for that, and don't be surprised if it happens on The Rock this year"

Junior Darts Corporation Ireland run their grading in conjunction with The Junior Darts Corporation every Tuesday in Tallaght Dublin.

And just because the qualifiers for the World Cup & World championships are finished they don't stop there.

Starting from next Tuesday 25th June 2019 qualifying starts for the next big Junior Darts Corporation tournament The "Super 16"

Where the Worldwide Junior Darts Corporation academy order of merit gets wiped clean and over 300 players worldwide compete to finish in the top eight to meet the top eight players on The Super 16 tour order of merit.

This will make up The "Super 16"who will meet in the UK in Rileys sports club Wolverhampton in December to battle it down to the last two final places.

And like The World Championships this final gets played on another Professional Darts Corporation stage this time at The 2020 PDC Masters in Milton Keynes UK.
