A historic win Credit: Luke Littler Facebook
LUKE ‘the Nuke’, made history last night, January 2, by winning the semi final of the darts world championship.
In a magnificent performance, and an average of over 106 score per three darts, he has got the darting world at his feet, but more importantly, his supportive girlfriend by his side, who immediately ran to hug him tightly after the dramatic face off.
Luke Littler enters the match tonight as the youngest darts player to ever reach a world championship final, going up against Luke Humphries, a seasoned darts player who is more than a decade his senior and currently ranked number one in the world. Nicknamed ‘Cool Hand Luke’, this will surely be a truly invigorating sporting event.
The final will begin at 7.30pm UK time tonight, January 3, as the world waits to see if another historical moment will take place.
