Who's been watching the darts recently? Wasn't it fantastic. Such brilliant performances from so many players. Young Luke Littler stole the show but Cool Hand Luke got the trophy and the title. Wow, was he cool !!! Coming from 4 sets to 2 down to win 7 - 4.....amazing resilience and self-confidence. Well done Luke.
