Luke Littler dismantles Gerwyn Price to become first man into Bahrain Darts Masters final

The first man through to the final at the 2024 Bahrain Darts Masters has been confirmed and it is Luke Littler, after a 7-3 victory over Gerwyn Price.

After his sensational nine-darter in the semi-finals, Littler again started strongly in this one. Price was keeping touch though and thanks in part to a brilliant 124 checkout, it was all-square at two apiece in the early stages.

It was Littler who secured the first break of throw in leg 6 and in typically scintillating style too via a 170 checkout, to nudge clear 4-2. With another ton-plus checkout in leg 7, this time a 103, the 16-year-old led 5-2 at the break.

Although Price was in the ascendancy in post-break, the Welshman missed a handful of darts at double with Littler punishing via an 89 checkout on the bull to move one away from victory. Although Price pulled one back, victory was Littler's 7-3.
