Though Humphries emerged victorious, Littler’s heroic reception at the conclusion of the match makes him the tournament’s star.
Littler’s life will never be the same because of his achievements, which go beyond the realm of darts. He now has a global profile.
Littler may have narrowly missed becoming a sporting immortal, but this is only the beginning for him; many believe he will go on to win numerous world championships.
The 16-year-old Warrington resident exclaimed, “It has been incredible. The only drawback was that Luke could break me since I lost too many legs in my throw.
“I just couldn’t hold my own throw, which was the only thing that went wrong, and I lost. All the games have been excellent, but that one has truly irritated me, especially the three that failed to extend the game.
“That’s what the crowd wanted but fair play to Luke, he deserves it.”
Despite eight missed darts at doubles, Humphries had a better start than Littler, taking the first set 3-1 with an average of 99.2.
‘The Nuke’ quickly found his best form in the second set, overcoming a 2-1 deficit to produce two 12-dart legs with the help of an incredible 142 checkout and a ‘Shanghai’ 120 finish.
