BREAKING: LUKE HUMPHRIES WINS WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIP BY BEATING LUKE LITTLER 7-4






Anyone been watching?

Been a decent start to the tournament.

Luke Littler, who is only 16, with an unbelievable performance today to progress. Now being talked about as a possible winner.

Gerwyn Price, Michael van Gerwen, Luke Humphries, Gary Anderson and Michael Smith all through to the Third Round.

James Wade and Peter Wright the only two seeds to be eliminated so far.


Obviously the tournament really kicks in after Christmas, but been enjoying it so far.

Keith Deller did it on debut, so why not? :ayatollah:

Lots of pressure on him now but fingers crossed...

Enjoyed it so far and happy that Peter Wright was knocked out today, as entertaining as his antics are... :lol:

Agree Chris, not a fan of Wright although his entrance tonight was as entertaining as ever.

It actually seemed like he had a few drinks before he started.

Didn’t see his game but well done and what a debut,a bit like Kirk Shepherd a few years ago.
Can’t see him getting to the quarterfinals personally as pressure will be on him big time now but good luck to him.
MVG is my tip.

Fancy him to get another result tonight.

That chant of ‘you’ve got school in the morning’ was quality.

Littler wins 3-1 to knock out a seeded player (Gilding). So he’ll be back after Christmas.

He’ll play Matt Campbell of Canada next, who knocked out James Wade.

The tournament has continued today with Round Three following the break.

Just watched Scott Williams v Schindler, what a cracking match with Williams winning 4-3 in a tie breaker.

Looking forward to tonight's matches.

That was a great match. I thought Williams looked beaten after the first two sets.

Luke Littler continues to impress as he beats Matt Campbell 4-1, and progresses to the Last 16.

Not his day unfortunately. Dolan played well but Price should have gone 2-1 up, that missed opportunity was his downfall.

Great come back from Luke Humphreys to beat Ricardo Pietreczko 4-3 after being 1-3 down.

I do love the way Pietreczko throws his darts in order every throw, black, red, yellow...... awesome!

Missed it last night but shocked to see Price lose this early.

That opens up part of the draw and Gary Anderson could now sense an opportunity.

Jonny Clayton through the last 16, he beats Ratajski 4-2.

Next up for him will be Rob Cross.

Jonny Clayton was poor earlier as he was thrashed by Cross.

Cross, Dobey, Van Gerwen, Williams and Chisnall are all through to the quarter finals.

Three great games tonight in the final last 16 games:


Anderson v Dolan

Van Barneveld v Littler

Humphries v Cullen

Another brilliant win for Brendan Dolan, he beats Gary Anderson 4-3.

Great match to watch.

Re: World Darts Championship

Van Barneveld v Littler next up, with the winner playing Dolan next.

Re: World Darts Championship

Sat Dec 30, 2023 10:14 pm

Another unbelievable performance by Luke Littler, possibly his best yet, as he beats Raymond Van Barneveld 4-1.

He will play Brendan Dolan in the quarter finals.
