Telford's Ted Hankey out of BDO World Trophy
Telford's Ted Hankey has failed to make the cut for the first round proper of the BDO World Darts Trophy after defeat in the last 32 of the qualifiers.
'The Count' - who is based in Aqueduct - was playing in his first BDO tournament since returning last month, after two years playing for the PDC.
The two-time BDO world champion was aiming for a spot in the first Euro Sport televised stages but lost in the last leg, 4-3, to Lee Williams.
Hankey had opened his day at the Blackpool Tower with a 4-0 whitewash of Andy Holmes in Group Five, before defeating Marek Polach 4-2.
He dropped just a leg beating Ian Walters 4-1 before bowing out to eventual group winner Williams, ending his challenge in the competition.
