Michael Smith through to final of Premier League Night Six after victory over Luke Littler
PDCThursday, 07 March 2024 at 23:17
Michael Smith reached the final of night six in Premier League Darts after seeing off Luke Littler 6-3. The teenager was uncharacteristically profligate on the outer ring, with just a 20% success rate for the World Championship finalist.
Smith raced into a 3-0 lead that included an exhibition style 120 after hitting a 60 then accidentally firing a dart into the tops bed before eventually mopping up double 10. Littler did well to reduce the arrears to just one with back to back legs, but then missed two darts to level things up. Smith hit D10 to increase his lead back to two.
The crucial moment came in leg seven when 'The Nuke' had a chance to stop Smith from going within one of victory, but agonisingly missed the bull on a 170. It was always going to be an uphill task after that, but Littler can still be pleased with his night's work as he continues to cement a spot in the top four on 11 points.
One more hold was enough to see Smith through to his second final of the 2024 Premier League, where he will play Luke Humphries, who has been in red-hot form in Brighton this evening.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- 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
