"A difficult night all round" - Luke Humphries clarifies injury situation after losing whistle-affected final to Luke Littler at Premier League Darts in Glasgow
PDC
Luke Humphries fell just short in his quest for back to back nightly wins to open the 2025 Premier League Darts. The world number lost out to Luke Littler 6-5 in the Night Two final in Glasgow on Thursday.
Nevertheless, thanks to comeback wins over Chris Dobey in the quarter-finals and Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals, Humphries adds 3 more points to his overall total and still sits top of the Premier League Darts table after two weeks action.
Curiously, between his semifinal win over Price and the start of his final with Littler, Humphries managed to injure his finger. Despite having to go back to the table in order to dab the blood off his finger after every visit, Humphries more than held his own in the final, with the more pressing issue being constant whistling from the crowd as both players attempted to throw their darts. Ultimately though, it was Littler who prevailed in a deciding leg to deny Humphries a second successive weekly win.
"A difficult night all round, and I just fell short in the end," reflected Humphries on social media afterwards, addressing the injury concerns. "An unexpected finger injury didn't help either. Fair play to Luke Littler and I'll be back next week to do it all again in Dublin."
Looking for more information, one fan replied to Humphries statement asking how exactly the former world champion had managed to injure himself between matches. "What happened to the finger lol? Way you kept looking at it I thought you cut it or something," Humphries was asked, before giving an explanation. "Pulled my darts out the practice board and cut it on the wires. Then it just wouldn't stop bleeding haha."
Hunphries will now be hoping the injury isn't too long lasting as the darts come thick and fast for the elite at this time of year.

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025

- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
