The 17-year-old beat Meikle 3-1 to advance to the third round of the PDC World Darts Championship at Ally Pally
Luke Littler has told that his outpouring of emotion at the World Darts Championship was born out of overcoming his nerves.
“I started off dead slow…”, Littler said before breaking down. He was then serenaded by the raucous Ally Pally crowd before being comforted by his mother, Lisa, in the crowd. Littler, who recorded averaged a remarkable 140.91 during the fourth and final set, echoed similar sentiments in a separate interview shortly after. He said: “It was the toughest game I’ve played and I had to fight to the end. I knew I had the game, but I had to find it somewhere and fortunately I managed to find it.
