1 hour ago 3

Sebastian Bialecki made it a hattrick of title wins on Saturday, whilst Cam Crabtree returned to winning ways, as the pair won Development Tour Events 13 & 14 respectively, with the third weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season continuing in Milton Keynes. 

Bialecki – who picked up both Event 11 & 12 on Friday – reached the final of Event 13 firstly  by recording victories against Dylan Slevin, Jay Brack, Nigel Coudeville, Owen Roelofs, Connor Hopkins, Jamai Van den Herik, Florian Preis and David Fidler, to set up a clash with Germany’s Leon Weber.

The final began with Bialecki racing into a 3-0 lead with winning legs coming in 19,13 and 15 darts respectively, before Weber fought back by winning two straight legs in a total of 29 darts to move within one of his Polish opponent. Bialecki went on to win back-to-back legs of his own and sealed a 5-2 victory with a 23-darter to pick up a third successive Development Tour title as well as collecting the £3,000 top prize.  

In Event 14, Cam Crabtree was victorious as he reached the final firstly by recording victories against Jack Woods, Henry Coates, Jack Howarth, Kai Clark, James Buckby, Nigel Coudeville, Cole Davey and Archie Self, to set up a clash with compatriot, Nathan Potter. 

The final began with Crabtree racing into a 2-0 lead with winning legs coming in 18 and 17 darts respectively, before Potter halved the deficit in Leg Three with a 19-dart break of throw. Crabtree then won back-to-back legs again which saw ‘Shazam’ move 4-1 ahead and within one of victory.

The tie then saw Potter create an almighty fight back by winning three successive legs to set up a ninth and deciding leg in which Crabtree would have the advantage of throwing first. This proved to be decisive as the 22-year-old sealed a deciding leg victory with a 14 darter to pick up a first Development Tour title of 2026.   

Adam Gawlas picked up his first Development Tour title of the year on Sunday, after defeating Sebastian Bialecki in the final of Event Fifteen, as the third weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season ended in Milton Keynes. 

Gawlas – who’s maiden Development Tour title came back in 2023 – ended a three-year drought as he reached Sunday’s Finale firstly by recording victories against Callum Lester, Dillon Murphy, Justin Atellinghusen, Joshua Jones, Mylo Michiels, Ben Townley, Cam Crabtree and Jack Pollard, to set up a clash with Bialecki. 

The final began with Gawlas racing into a 3-0 lead with winning legs coming in a total of 41 darts, before Bialecki ended the drought in Leg Four with a 14-dart break of throw. The Pole then followed up with back-to-back legs in 19 and 18 darts respectively to square the tie up at 3apiece. Gawlas then went on to win successive legs of his own which saw the Czech thrower seal a 5-3 victory in Leg Eight with a 20 darter to pick up a second Development Tour title of his career as well as the £3,000 top prize.
