- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025

- Congratulations Deta, champion at last. Although I was really hoping Sophie was going to win. Deta had a tough route to the final and a deserved Champion after soooooo many attempts.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Congratulations Zehra, an excellent performance, 3-0 was harsh on Rebecca, she played well and actually won a decent trophy better than what Zehra won. I think it is extremely poor and insulting that the girls prize money is half of what the boys win. At that level it should be equal, girls wanting to take up darts will see the injustice of winnings and could think twice about taking up the sport. Ultimately, winning is the only thing that matters, but I would be vocal about prize money if the female equivalent was double the amount.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025
- Having been at Lakeside all week, I am glad it's over. It is not the same and the atmosphere is completely flat. Ultimately, I think they should reduce the format for the men, just make it 32 not 64. It's very long winded and completely rushed and compacted towards the last few days. Mitchell is an excellent player but had to play a 6 set boys final just hours before his 9 set mens final. If the whole competition was spread out he would have not been forced to play 2 major finals in an afternoon, it is ridiculous and Sophie McKinlay had the same situation last year.richieburnettrocks08-12-2025

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025
