The WDF World Championship runner-up is now the world number
one on the circuit, the youngest to have achieved this incredible milestone
with the hype being firmly placed by many on the young Scotsman shoulders.
He is not buckling under the pressure, continuing to
showcase his brilliance on the oche in whatever setting. Currently competing in
Coventry, Lawrie kicked off his day by defeating Ethan Hawden 4-1. In the final leg, Lawrie commenced it with two 18's before following up with a sublime 141 checkout to finish off what was a complete performance, averaging 103.04 in the process.
'Wee Sox' backed that up with a 4-1 victory over Junior Howard before returning into the ton+ averages with a commanding 4-2 triumph over Jack Johnson in the quarterfinals as he continues to hunt for glory and another title to add to his ever-growing CV.
At just 15-years-old, Mitchell Lawire is one of the brightest talents in darts
This would come with a comfortable 5-2 win over an underperforming Alfie Cook before thrashing Archie Self 6-1 with a 99.63 average in the final to take the JDC Advanced Tour 3 title.

- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026

- I'm sick of everything wanting paying for ad free stuff,every site you go on,it's pay pay for no ads. I mostly dread picking my phone up,as it's subscription required. I'm not surprised I'm bloody skint. Everyone wants to rob you for services that were freerick6714-08-2026
