WYRE Forest darts pro Chris Hook is continuing to make his mark in the game after achieving PDC ranking points in three of his first four contests.

During a recent trip to London he beat Barrie Bates (57th) and last weekend in Great Yarmouth he beat Simon Whatley (31st) to chalk up valuable points.

Hook has just edged into the rankings for the UK Open, but needs a strong display over his next two tournaments to guarantee him a place in the televised stages.
