Eagle-eyed fans spot Luke Littler predicted his EXACT nine-darter in chat with darts referee hours earlier
LUKE LITTLER predicted how he would hit his nine-darter in Cardiff in a chat with a darts referee.
The world champion continued his fine Premier League Darts form by winning his third night of the campaign in week seven.
He is now six points clear in the race for qualification with Rob Cross fifth on eight points.
Littler hit a scintillating nine-darter on his way to beating Michael van Gerwen in the final and even predicted how he would do it before the match.
Spotter Owen Binks asked Littler if he would go for the T17, D15 variation again with his final darts, as he has done recently.
Littler responded: “My nine-darter in Leicester was 60-51-30 so take a hint.”
The Nuke then followed that up by finishing off his nine-darter in that exact fashion, hitting T20, T17 and D15.
Littler has varied his shots on the nine after missing multiple times with his final dart on D12.
The 18-year-old’s feat means he will receive a set of £30,000 18ct gold darts next week in Newcastle off title sponsors BetMGM.
Littler’s nine-darter was his first one since his perfect leg in the final of the O2 Arena last May when he became Prem champion on his debut.

“All the players we have got to have a rest. That’s why I have pulled out of the next Euro Tour event. I will enjoy another week off.
“I had no idea if the nine-darter was in. I had to wait for it to be called. ‘Is it in? Is it?’
“I want to get to the O2 Arena as quickly as possible. I am in a really good position. I want to finish as No.1.
“I was very happy with myself, especially in the doubles. That was pretty good tonight. There is plenty more to come and another ten weeks left.”
