The WDF Europe Cup Youth Boys Singles tournament was concluded with Leighton Bennett continuing his good form as of late and taking home victory for England.
Bennett saw off the likes of Connor Hopkins of Wales, Luke van der Kwast of the Netherlands and then faced off against Jurjen van der Velde also of the Netherlands who is of course the current JDC World Youth Champion.
This meant it was a battle of two World Youth Champions with 'Boom Boom', the current BDO one. It was Bennett though who came out on top winning 3-1.
The Dutch team ended up showing their strength in the singles with them having a player in all but one of the Quarter-Finals while there was also double representation alongside Bennett for England with Keelan Kay making it to the latter stages losing 2-1 to Marcel Bus in the end.

- 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
