Justin van Tegouw has retained his BDO World youth championship title with a 3-1 win over Irelands Killian Heffernan. The Dutchman, who is very highly thought of in the world of darts, recovered from losing the first set, to win nine legs in a row in a contest that has eclipsed many of the senior men's matches this week.
The opening leg set the tone of the match, the Irishman Heffernan taking out a stunning 156 out to break the JvT throw. He followed that up with a classy 87 in 2 darts before Van Tergouw responded with a tournament high matching 170. Heffernan would then take the set with a tops finish.
The rest of the match became all about the Dutchman. Top Shot just couldn't live with the reigning champs scoring, and as Van Tergouw eased further and further ahead. Winning 9 straight legs as he closed out the match with relative ease. JvT also helped himself to finishes of 131, 100 in 2 darts, and a match winning 132!

- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
