Liverpool & Berlin Darts fans set to go head-to-head at London’s Finals Night in the Premier League Darts.
One of sport’s great rivalries looks set to reignite on the oche of the O2 tonight when darts players representing Liverpool and Berlin go head-to-head in the final of the Unibet Walk-On Challenge. Darts fans from both cities will try and get the highest score possible using only 9 darts.
The England v Germany nine dart showdown will take place just prior to the PDC stars taking to the stage for Finals Night of this year’s Unibet Premier League.
Having topped the charts of the tournament that involved players representing 14 cities in this year’s Unibet Premier League both teams have been treated to a three day all expenses paid VIP trip to London as well as an exclusive training camp with the Flying Scotsman himself, double world champion Gary Anderson.
Anderson will be giving the players some hints and advice on their play ahead of the final with the winner getting their hands on the Unibet Walk-On Challenge Trophy.
Leaders Liverpool Favourites For Final
Whilst Liverpool romped to the top of the leaderboard with a peerless score of 325, Berlin’s own brilliant score of 289 just pipped Birmingham to a place in the final by seven points.
Nottingham and Aberdeen were the only two other cities to post scores with a three-dart average of more than 90, all the more impressive given the amateur throwers had to handle the nerves of throwing under the lights of the Unibet Premier League stage and in front of thousands of fans.
Each week the tournament sponsor ran a competition that invited fans to send in their best darts Walk-On videos via social media with the #unibet180 tagline, performing their own style of Walk-On to the music of their choice.
The best videos in each city were selected and the winners not only had the chance to recreate their Walk-On live at the event but also competed on-stage in a 9-Dart Challenge in front of the Arena crowds.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
