Fallon Sherrock and John Part fell short on their first attempts to reach the final stage of PDC Q School.
The top eight players each day in the three-day UK Qualifying School in Milton Keynes and European Qualifying School in Kalkar, Germany secure progression to the final stage between Thursday and Sunday, at which two-year Tour Cards will be on offer.
The remaining places are determined via an Order of Merit across both regions, with one ranking point awarded per match, so Sherrock and Part are not yet out of contention.

Sherrock, the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship, saw her hopes of automatic qualification ended by Hong Kong’s Kai Fan Leung in the last 64.
