Cam Crabtree was the standout player during Development Tour Events 11 -15 , as the third weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season was conducted at Halle 39, Hildesheim.
Crabtree, who picked up a PDC Tour Card for the first time in his career back in January, reached the final of Event 11 firstly by recording seven victories to reach the final against Czech star Adam Gawlas. At 3-2 up Crabtree ignited the burners, won back-to-back legs and sealed a 5-2 victory in Leg Seven with a 17 darter to pick up a maiden Development Tour title as well as the £2,500 top prize.
Another maiden winner, Jannis Barkhausen, claimed Event 12. He was victorious as he also reached the final firstly by recording seven wins against high class opposition including Women's World champion, and current Development Tour leader, Beau Greaves, to set up a clash with Owen Bates.
Barkhausen won back-to-back legs from 2-1 ahead to move within one of victory. Bates did pull one leg back, before his German opponent sealed the victory.
Cam Crabtree doubled his weekend title tally on Saturday, whilst Jurjen Van der Velde returned to winning ways, as the pair won Development Tour Events 13 & 14 respectively, as the third weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season continued in Hildesheim.
Crabtree, who was victorious in Friday’s Event 11, went all the way once again 24 hours later, as he reached the final of Event 13 against compatriot Patrik Williams.
Crabtree sealed a dominant victory in Leg Six with a 16-dart break of throw to pick up a second title of the weekend as well as a further a running total of over £5,000 in prize money.
In Event 14, Jurjen Van der Velde was victorious as he battled through a tough section to set up a clash with young Englishman Henry Coates.
The final ebbed and flowed through to deciding leg in which Van der Velde would have the advantage of throwing first. This proved to be vital as the Dutchman sealed the victory with a 16 dart hold of throw to pick up a fourth Development Tour title of his career as well as the top prize.
Crabtree, remarkably, then picked up his third Development Tour title in three days on Sunday, after defeating Jenson Walker in the final of Event Fifteen, as the third weekend of the PDC’s Youth Tour season ended in Hildesheim.
Experience proved to be vital throughout the final, as Crabtree rattled off five successive legs in 17,14,18,17 and 17 darts respectively to seal a 5-0 whitewash victory over Walker to claim a third title in five events as well as a further £2,500 in prize money.
The PDC Winmau Development Tour returns between 5-7th September with Events 16-20 taking place at Wigan’s Robin Park Leisure Centre.
