  • World Darts Championship runner-up Luke Littler told Sky News he has no idea how he'll spend his £200,000 winnings.
    He said: "I am just going to go home, go somewhere and just chill out and get back to the [darts] board when I need to."
    To young inspiring darts players, Littler advised to "just keep at it, keep going and make friends... and stick to the board", before adding he only trains 30-45 minutes a day, as any more "gets boring."

      Jealousy of young guy ..Ye he looks few yr older than 16 yrs but more like say 20 yrs but soon shall be in a week or so 17yr old so not a big deal ..Many young guys who play darts shall be jealous of the young guy whose done great and great for the Sport of darts actually and should applaud the guy as takes a lot of bottle to play in big games with crowds watching on although this young guy Luke Littler shall be used to palying darts in front of crowds as has done many times in past although this was the Biggy and he done Great for reaching the final . And shall be a final to remember for all darts fans all over the World as darts as we know today is World Wide seen . And good i say that its a young British guy whom has opened up Darts in a good light ..Britain who it was began darts way back byt a Bonnie Scotsman namely Rabbie MacTavish .
      Now youll all be googling up this famous name guys ^
