"No-one can touch me": Luke Littler continues darting dominance in Minehead, says he is sick of missing nine-dart finish record

Luke Littler has coasted into the Quarter-Finals in Minehead after a 10-3 rout of Danny Noppert which saw 'The Nuke' hit a 104.7 average, seven 180's and 50% on the outer ring.

It also saw Littler again miss double 12 for a nine-dart finish and speaking afterwards, he said that he feels untouchable at times as well as that he is fed up of missing double 12 for the perfect leg.

"I'm very happy with this afternoon's performance. Obviously when you win that you just focus onto tonight. Longer format you get the breaks involved which obviously suits me," said Littler to Online Darts.

"When I went 2-0 up, I was like let's go at least 4-1 up maybe even 5-0 at the first break. But Danny was playing well early on. Just after that first break I just go on these little bursts and no-one can touch me in between."

He also said that he is sick of missing the nine-dart finish as he zooms in on a record haul of perfect legs after a scintillating year.

"If I hit the treble 20, it will go down to treble 17, double 15. I'm just sick of trying to hit that double 12 to be fair."

"I'd probably be happy with a few ProTour wins, a few Euro Tours but what I've done I can only thank myself, sponsors and obviously the practice I put in now."

"I don't really play online but when I play against computer, it's always 100 average."

Next up is a certain Mike de Decker with both players at the top of their game albeit there was the controversy that surrounded the game last time out with whistling prevalent. But Littler just hopes it will be the same again.

"Hopefully it's the same outcome for myself and hopefully we can just both turn up. Throw these high averages, I can't wait for it."
