ARRON MONK and Joe Cullen have won the final two places in the 2012 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship at Monday’s PDPA Qualifier in Wigan.

Monk’s success means that he will make his debut in the World Championship, although he has played on the Alexandra Palace stage before where he captured the 2011 PDC Under 21 World Championship title.
