Mitchell Clegg, from New South Wales, Australia was the youngest ever qualifier for a World Darts Championship (BDO or PDC). In October 2006, he won the Oceanic Masters at the age of 15 to earn a place at the Circus Tavern in January. He celebrated his 16th birthday in November 2006. He lost to Raymond van Barneveld in the 1st round - ironically both players were making their Circus Tavern debuts despite their vastly different levels of experience.
