He's 18 in 3 weeks, this means, using the Lucas Digne agenomics that is the KUMB standard, he's almost 20 & you are correct Puff.

Great achievement, he's made over 1.5mil in tournament earnings before his 18th birthday.
Fair play to the lad, hope the money doesn't go to his head & he keeps up his incredible standard.

The way he brushed aside Bunting 6-1 in the semis and MVG in the final 7-3 was truly unbelievable. I think you have to give MVG credit for winning 3 sets.

I said in my earlier post that I hope Littler doesn't totally dominate the sport in years to come, but I have a feeling there's going to be no say in the matter. I didn't realise the other tournaments he mopped up through the year. Pretty much cleaned up.

I have a passing interest and can take it or leave it, but thoroughly enjoyed the 'Dart Kings' documentary that's showing at the moment. Some classic footage of Bristow, Wilson, Deller etc. Great stuff.

Bahrain open.

Price v Littler - what a match - Price was on fire! Good victory for him.

Bunting v Humphries - what a comback by Buntng.

Final - Bunting v Price - Bunting smashed it - Price showed glimpses but wasn't at the races. That said, he was gracious in defeat and took over the interview when Bunting burst into tears.

Two nights top viewing.

Roll on the Premier league.

And Humphries wins the World Masters - just.

It went all the way to the final game with Clayton making a dogged fight back from 5-2 down.

The last 4 games were really enjoyable.

Yeah thought the final was great, not a huge fan of the format as I don't think it's that fair, but no doubt it made for some exciting matches.

Masters week 1

Humphries wins! He smashed Aspinall, sturggled big time against MVG but won, then smashed Doby 6-1 in the final.

Game of the night was Littler v MBG. Some tremdous darts on display there, with MVG winning 6-5 despite having a lower average score throughout the game.

1000% agree. It happens mainly in Glasgow from what i can remember.

Litter wins in a 6-5 thriller with Humphries.

I thought Humphries was affected by the whistling as was Price earlier on.

Luke Littler absolutely outrageous in tonights final. Wow. MvG would have destroyed anyone else in the world with his own performance.

That was incredible.
