Where to watch:

The darts kicks off on Sky Sports Darts on the 15th of December at 7pm.

After day one there will be two sessions of darts a day with the first taking place on the 12:30pm.

The first of the Irishmen getting taking the oche is Keane Barry and he is playing on day 1 of the competition on Sunday the 15th of December.

He will get his first round 1 clash against world number 41, Kim Huybrechts at some point after 7pm as he is the 3rd match that gets underway.

If Barry gets through his tough first round draw it doesn't get an easier for the Meath man as he will have to face off against former world champion Gerwyn Price in the second round.

As for the O'Connor and Slevin, they have been drawn against each other in an all Irish affair in the first round. 

That match will be the third match of the evening session on Friday December 20th. At least we will be guaranteed an Irish man into the next round of the competition as one of these two will play against Dimitri Van den Bergh in round 2.
