Last Sunday, the first stage of the PDC World Youth Championship was completed. In it, Luke Littler qualified for the final.
Littler will take on Dutchman and main rival this season on the PDC Development Tour, Gian van Veen in the final, to be played on the Nov. 26th, the final day of the Players Championship finals. If the Development Tour is anything to go by, this be the first in a long line of TV finals between Littler and van Veen.
"This is a massive achievement in my career," said Littler, winner of five Development Tour titles throughout 2023, as well as enjoying success on the MODUS Super Series. "It's my first year on the Development Tour and my ambition at the start of the year was just to win one Development Tour event, and now I've finished the year as runner-up and I'm in the World Youth Championship final!"
The still only 16-year-old Englishman continues to impress. "It's been tough but I'm so happy to get through. I love playing on the big stage in front of a crowd, and hopefully it will be packed out when I play against Gian."

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
