Keane Barry claimed the BDO World Youth Championship title on Saturday with the 17-year old Irishman beating Leighton Bennett 3-0.
Barry also previously claimed the JDC World Youth Championship title at the Alexandra Palace and was ecstatic to win especially against an opponent like Bennett.
“It is great to win this world title. Leighton also played very well, but at the right moments I took my chances. That it was a good match with a very good opponent gives this world title even more honour. "
“I have trained a lot and it is always nice to reap the benefits. There is currently a lot of talent among the youth and the level is very high, so you cannot get there without much training. ”
“Next week I will take my chance at PDC Q-School. Hopefully I can claim my Tour Card there, but if that doesn't work out I'll play the Development and Challenge Tour. ”

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
