Description:
Luke Littler won the Premier League 2024 title after cruising past rival Luke Humphries in the final on Thursday night. <br/><br/>The 17-year-old sensation triumphed 11-7 over rival Luke Humphries in the showpiece event to claim the £275,000 prize after a stunning performance at the O2 Arena in London.<br/><br/>It was a closely contested affair until Littler took control of the match by hitting a terrific nine-dart finish in the 11th leg, to go into a 6-5 lead.<br/><br/>Littler hit back-to-back 180s before checking out on 141 with a treble 20, treble 19, and a double 12 to send him on his way to victory on the night.<br/><br/>After clinching the leg, Littler powered on into a 10-7 lead and dispatched Humphries after leaving himself on 40 and then hitting a double 20.<br/><br/>It proved to be an emotional moment for Littler who, after clinching the final leg, went over to his family and girlfriend, Eloise Milburn.<br/><br/>Speaking to Sky Sports after winning, Littler said: 'For all the doubters, you're not doubting me anymore! I've just picked up this.<br/><br/>'It's so good to win but in front of my family and my girlfriend! I don't know what to do.<br/><br/>'I've hit a nine-darter on the World Series and so did Phil [Taylor] - now I've hit one in the final here and so did he.' <br/><br/>Littler became the first player to throw a nine-dart finish in the Premier League final since Phil Taylor did it twice in 2010.<br/><br/>Littler booked his place in the final on Thursday after cruising past Michael Smith 10-5 earlier in the night to set up a repeat of the World Championship final.<br/><br/>On that night in January, it was Humphries who came out on top after a thrilling 7-4 clash but, on this occasion, it was Littler who left with the trophy. <br/><br/>In his first time in the competition, across 16 weeks of league action, Littler flourished and finished top of the table with 40 points after winning four nights.<br/><br/>His phenomenal form has earned him a place on finals night in London, where he was joined by Humphries, Smith, and Michael van Gerwen.<br/><br/>Those three men have five world titles between them but, as the last five months have proved, Littler wasn't fazed one bit by the competition.<br/><br/>Littler painted an emotional figure as he rushed to hug his girlfriend Milburn, who only began attending the 17-year-old's matches at the start of the month.<br/><br/>They first went public with their relationship during the World Championship after meeting on the darts circuit last year, and Milburn has remained by Littler's side in 2024. <br/><br/>Humphries, meanwhile, also spoke to Sky Sports after his defeat and said: 'I was trying to stick in there - there was a massive breeze coming across the stage all night and it's so hard to deal with.<br/><br/>'It's a credit to Luke, he managed it all night so well. When I went to the break 5-5 I had stuck in there.<br/><br/>'But then all of a sudden the breeze stopped and he's played much better - he's such a fantastic player, he is.<br/><br/>'I think me and Luke are the two greatest players in the world at the moment and this was another great battle

Charlie says hello, hello Charlie and will sing in his own way which is something he never did before. <br/><br/>“Chester will talk more readily than Charlie, when the phone rings Chester is the first to say hello. <br/><br/>“We have a lot of fun with them,they’re loveable characters.”")
