With two nights left in the regular phase of Premier League Darts, Luke Littler is assured of a place in the top four, which entitles him to participate in the playoffs.
Littler won the fourteenth night last Thursday by defeating Rob Cross in the final. Thanks to this victory, he is now guaranteed participation in the playoffs. Littler is currently leader in the Premier League Darts standings with eight points ahead of his closest pursuer Luke Humphries.
“This is what I dreamed of when I was growing up and watching the Premier League every Thursday,” said Littler. "Making the Play-Offs was my aim coming into the Premier League, so to have achieved that with two weeks to spare is a great achievement.
“I didn’t really know that if I won my first game I’d be through. I just came here wanting to win another night. Now I’ve got a ‘q’ next to my name, so going into the next few weeks I can play with freedom, and after those nights my focus will be on London.”
Learned a lot
It's amazing what the 17-year-old, who only debuted on the Pro Tour this year, is experiencing.
“It’s breathtaking travelling to all of these places," he added. "I’ve learnt a lot in the last four to five months of the season, and I know what to expect now.“In the first few weeks [of the Premier League] I was fourth or fifth, but now I’ve been top for quite a few weeks, and hopefully I can stay there!“I know over the next two weeks the record [for nightly wins] is there to be broken, but whatever happens, I’m still going to the O2!”
