Walsh - Pipe & van der Voort Seal Places

MARK WALSH, Justin Pipe and Vincent van der Voort are the latest qualifiers for the William Hill Grand Slam of Darts.

The trio are confirmed as the respective Order of Merit qualifiers for the Sky Sports-televised event, which will be played from November 12-20 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

World number 12 Walsh has qualified to make his Grand Slam of Darts debut as the highest non-qualified player from the PDC Order of Merit, ahead of Colin Lloyd.

Pipe, meanwhile, is the Players Championship Order of Merit qualifier, with two PDC ProTour wins in the last month seeing him jump up to third place behind Gary Anderson and Paul Nicholson in the standings to win a second successive Grand Slam place.

Dutchman van der Voort qualifies as the 2011 European Order of Merit winner, having won a Players Championship in Vienna in May and also reached a final in Germany and three other quarter-finals in the 12 European-based events.

The final places in the William Hill Grand Slam of Darts will be confirmed this weekend, with the finalists from Friday's PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship to join the Wildcard Qualifiers from the 256-player event to be held in Crawley on the same day
