Looks like Littler isn't playing today, not sure if he's playing tomorrow. MVG pulled out today too with illness.

Littler still too engrossed with Fifa 25, don't be surprised if he doesn't emerge from his mum's basement until the World Championships!

Littler withdrawn from todays PC too. I wonder if he will be coming back for the Euro Tour trip to Switzerland on the weekend.

^ Hopefully will, good news ITV extended deal so more darts woop

ITV have won the right to keep broadcasting darts and snooker for another year.

The national broadcaster signed a 12-month extension to its deal with Matchroom.

It means World Snooker Tour’s British Open, Champion of Champions, Players Championship and Tour Championship will remain free to air on ITV and and ITVX.

The arrangement also includes many top Professional Darts Corporation events.

These include The Masters, UK Open, European Championship, Players Championship Finals, at least seven World Series of Darts global events and the World Series of Darts Finals

It comes as the Masters plans to expand from 24 to 32 players in 2025. That means an extra session for viewers in January

I've become quite fond of the Euro Tours tbh, even though the prize money is not great and they are not considered as majors.

Darts star James Wade issues statement denying FARTING during match

Wade had walked over to a table following the win, with the footage showing the darts star slightly bending his knees, before fans on social media claimed they could hear the sound of a fart.

Welcome back bro and fellow Darts Bros.

I'm on Keto for the past couple of weeks, but this weekend, starting Saturday night, I'm coming off it for a couple of days to enjoy some darts and ales. Match made in heaven.

No huge games on tonight, so can just relax, enjoy the b grade darts players facing off and prepare for tomorrow when the big boys turn up.

I watched some games at lunch time (in between working hard at home, of course ) and somehow the Polish Eagle got destroyed by the Swiss challenger who is a nobody. This is now Litter's first opponent in the second round.

I don't want to jinx it, but if Littler is even half focused it could be a drubbing. Looking forward to seeing it. As he's a home favourite, would not surprise me if it's the last game on tomorrow night.

Old Barney beat Cullen with 102 AVG

I'm going to confess, I really like Cameron Menzies. I've love to see him (and Searle) win one of these Euro Tours when Littler takes a week off.

IMO they both clearly have the talent, but lack the minerals when it matters on the big stage.

 

[LtMatt]

Wright playing like pure trash. For as long as I'll live I'll never be able to comprehend how he beat a Littler averaging 107.

 

[bingham67]

Indeed Peter getting a pounding

 

[bingham67]

Peter coming back from 5-0 down now 5-3

 

[Kelt]

Just tuned in, did Wrighty win?

 

[Kelt]

Aspinall a tad rusty but still prevails.

 

[bingham67]

Just tuned in, did Wrighty win?

Nope lost 6-4

 

[LtMatt]

Tonight was just a poor mans starters, however things get interesting from tomorrow lunchtime onwards.

 

[LtMatt]

Take a bow son.

 

[LtMatt]

Great day of darts (and football) ahead men.
