VIDEO: Littler's false nine-dart finish, stopped by Paul Hinks score correction
MODUS
Making his debut on the MODUS Super Series, 16-year-old Luke Littler came within millimetres of a historic nine darter. Even referee Paul Hinks seemingly wanted it to happen.
Kicking off his match against fellow prospect Nathan Girvan, Littler fired in 180 to get off to the perfect start. Two more treble twenties then followed before his 6th dart of the leg cruelly deflected to just above the top wire of the treble. Referee Hinks however initially began calling another 180 before Littler pointed out it was just the other side of the wire.

With Littler left on 181 after six darts, the 16-year-old then threw the perfect set-up shot and left himself on double top after nine darts thrown.

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
