Darts: Kennish and Brew among top seeds for world para events

Both have qualified for world masters and championships in January 2025

Isle of Man darts players Darren Kennish and Callum Brew will be among the top seeds for two world para events taking place at the start of 2025.

Both have qualified for places at the latest editions of the World ParaDarts World Masters and World ParaDarts World Championships being held in Chelmsford, Essex from 3-5 January next year.

Kennish will be the second seed in the wheelchair players category and is second in the international wheelchair rankings across the 2023/24 season only behind Belgium's Vinnie D'Hondt.

Meanwhile, Brew will be the 16th seed in the standing players class having secured 16th place in the standing players' rankings across the latest campaign.

January's events will involve two differing formats with all players who've qualified - including Kennish and Brew - eligible for both the masters and championships competitions.

The masters tournament will start with a round-robin phase before a best-of-five matches layout in the last-16 and quarter-finals; best-of-seven matches in the semi-finals and best-of-nine in the final.

Elsewhere, the championships will be solely a knockout format - the first round up to the quarter-finals will be best-of-five matches; the semi-finals a best-of-seven event and the final a best-of-nine.
