Dylan Slevin may have sealed his Tour Card at the start of the season and also reached a ranking semi-final but he has not claimed a PDC Development Tour title until today with the Irish talent sealing Event Two in Milton Keynes on Friday evening.
In doing so, Slevin denied 16-year-old Luke Littler who is in his first weekend of Development Tour action and adds a final defeat with missed match darts to a Quarter-Final as 'The Nuke' continues to show his talent.
'Oceans Slevin' himself missed darts at 4-3 up and Littler sent it all the way but a poor start to the leg allowed the former in and after missing match darts himself, Littler fell to Slevin in a final between two players expected to be amongst it come the end of the season.
