A competition which gives darts players the chance to play in the UK Open has reached its third week, with professional darts player Arron Monk getting to the final.

The third of four Ladbrokes UK Open amateur qualifiers took place at The Worthies Sport and Social Club, in Kings Worthy, on January 24.

Arron Monk, son of 1996 Winmau World Masters winner Colin Monk, and Barry Woodman, secured their place in the showdown on February 7, where the winner will head to the UK Open.

Mr Monk and Mr Woodman will be joined by Mike Gillet, Callum Francis, Josh Collins and John Smith, finalists from previous qualifiers.
