There was a lot of intrigue heading into the first weekend of PDC Development Tour action surrounding Luke Littler and his first full foray at the secondary tour after turning 16 post Q-School and he has dominated leaving Milton Keynes.

Littler has twice the amount of money compared to second place on the Order of Merit sealing his second title after also reaching a final and Quarter-Final or better in all tournaments this weekend.

In the final of Event Five, he saw off Kevin Troppmann after seeing off Jurjen van der Velde, Sam Cromwell and Owen Bates en route to the final and albeit at any early stage will now be favourite for the Tour Card come the end of the season.
