Cruz Ravidas and Ashley Ball were today condmened by Boreham Darts Association co-owner Joe Tompkins after failing to compete in the quarter finals of the European Championship. Tompkins said "I think it's ridiculous that players enter our tournaments and then just decide not to turn up without a reason. If we were informed of their absence then we could rearange the fixtures but unfortunately for the fans this tournament will have two less matches because of the selfishness of two players." The withdrawals mean the semi final draw is now complete.
