Littler Wins Darts Crown Despite Boos

Teenager Luke Littler admitted he had considered walking away from darts after struggling with the pantomime booing from the crowd. However, the world No 1 shrugged off the jeers to beat great rival Luke Humphries in a nail-biting last-leg decider at London's O2 Arena.

The 19-year-old regained the crown he lost to Humphries in last year's final, with the victory coming after he had been subjected to whistling from the 16,000-strong crowd. Littler's emotional win capped off a tournament where he had openly discussed his mental struggles with the negative reception. chincha.pl
