Bradley Brooks is the winner of the 2020 PDC World Youth Championship after a tense deciding leg victory over Joe Davis 6-5.
Brooks is a current Tour Card holder and at times showed his experience of playing on the ProTour in recent years.
'Bamm Bamm' as well as claiming the title and £10,000 will also make his PDC World Championship debut next month as a result of winning.
Davis played well in the opening leg and claimed it before
Brooks finished 104 to make it 1-1. Brooks went into the ascendancy and was
well ahead on Davis’ throw leaving 52 for a 2-1 lead.
But the Brighton thrower came straight back pinning a 58
checkout for 2-2. Brooks missed one dart at a double and Davis stepped in for
double 16 for a 3-2 lead.
A 98 set up left 40 for Davis but it was his turn to miss
darts at double as Brooks pinned 54 to make it 3-3 and hold. Davis had a chance
to keep it on throw at 36 and Brooks pinned 56 last dart in hand to break and
make it 4-3.
Neither could pin the double but Davis finally got it right
breaking back to make it 4-4. He hit a 135 to leave 91 to go one away himself
and got that down to 40 with Brooks needing a 170. Davis went back in front as
a result at 5-4.
Brooks sent it all the way though at 5-5. Both were feeling the pressure with a nervy end to the final but Davis couldn't leave a finish.
Brooks had six at 132 and a first match dart at 72 came and went.
But Davis couldn't produce a 103 and Brooks pinned double 20 to claim victory in the final.

- 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

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
