Luke Littler...wtf?

16 years old ( :eek:

) and has just beaten a former PDO world champion!

Psycho Ned · 20 Dec 2023 at 21:37

That was class. Not been excited by a new player on the scene like that for a long time.

Got quite a decent draw as well if he can reproduce that again.

106 average as well, future world champion if he keeps this standard up.

Snakebite goes out 3-0 playing like an absolute drain! :eek:

Genuinely he wouldn't have won a round 1 game tonight.

Maybe it was Karma, he said in an interview with Sky that he was treating this match as practise for when he was going to meet Raymond van Barneveld in the next round!

He doesn’t look 16. Played phenomenal though.

Good to news.

Christmas clown in the bin.

What a start by Littler.

Talk about cool hand Luke.

Absolutely loving this Kid.

Gilding played very well that set but Littler's scoring is so good.

el_dazza · 21 Dec 2023 at 19:41

That was daft going for 2 x D18's.

Stu999 · 21 Dec 2023 at 19:46

Gilding had a ‘mare there.

el_dazza · 21 Dec 2023 at 19:48

Yup, 4 costly missed doubles. Littler isn't exactly dominating but playing well enough.

Stu999 · 21 Dec 2023 at 20:08

A lot of pressure out there for both players.

Psycho Ned · 21 Dec 2023 at 20:10

Littler way off tonight compared to yesterday but Gilding just gave him the game so it didn't really matter.

el_dazza · 21 Dec 2023 at 20:10

Far from his best there but gets the job done 3-1.

Stu999 · 21 Dec 2023 at 20:11

Get in there son!

Yeh, he showed he's human after all!

Don't think he would have won against a Michael Smith or van Gerwen on their game, but its got to be a good experience for him.

Scott Williams wires D18 for a 9 darter! Beats Noppert 3-0, that's quite an upset.

SoliD · 21 Dec 2023 at 21:22

Walked in with the wife watching it for those last 6 darts. So close.
