    I’m not really a big darts fan, However I’ve just googled “dartboard” on images  and I can’t find 32 anywhere….

    Scott Williams has a distinctively different colour hair and beard combo.

    Not warming to humphries. Don't watch much darts but didn't like him in his last match and don't like him now. Clearly a decent player though as he's won a lot and probably will batter Williams here

    Hope so. Can’t stand Williams.

    Humphries at this standard can at least give Littler a game. Be a great final

    It's strange as fans don't like him but he's well liked on tour. A very nice bloke who is usually very humble in interviews, had his struggles so took a break and has come back strong.

    Reporter: Luke you're too young to vote, bet, drink, drive a car, what will you do to celebrate?

    Littler: Probably treat myself to another kebab, bottles of coke and fanta and some more vapes.


    What an athlete.

    Hopefully be a great final tonight. Don't understand the dislike of Humphries, he's fairly local to me so guess that's why i like him. Its one of those finals tonight i will sit back and enjoy rather than want one or the other to win.

    Great there will be a new name on the trophy.

    Well that was impressive, like every game has been a different test and Rob throwing 100 the whole match, also initially he did have a lower checkout which was the clear difference but still finished on like 42%, not sure how anyone can beat him on that form...

    Up steps Humphries, who hit the 3rd highest dart average at this stage 108ish. 5/6 checkouts over 100 and just in general was perfect, not a fan of Williams but he didn't really play bad at all but 95 average and couldn't knick a set anywhere.

    Humphries plays like that surely he wins, although Littler has been so impressive who knows. What a final in store, the battle of the Luke's! 

    Both great for darts and seem genuine people.

    Luke Littler

    Currently smashing it up at the palace as we speak.

    He's 16!!!

    You will be hearing his name for many years to come!
    I backed him to win the tournament & e/w 30/1 on B365.
    Great decision mate. Quids in already. Wish you and your bet well tonight.

    yeah I don't get the hate for Humphries.
    seems quite likeable to me

    Williams comes across as a nob though

    Don't know why, but I just don't warm to Littler

    usually I would be all over a story like this, and rooting for them.

    Luke Littler v Luke Humphries

    Who wins?

    Barry Hearn.

    Luke v Luke .. despite all the (well deserved) Nuke hype, don't write of Humphries .. however he will have the crowd to contend with as well as Big Littler .. be a VERY close final between chalk n cheese characters

    The late great and very funny Labour MP and then minister for sport Tony Banks in 1997. A man who understood the real meaning of levelling up.

    This picture is from four years ago when the two faced each other in a local competition. I didn't recognise Humphries immediately but then read that he has lost four stone recently.

    May be an image of 2 people dartboard and text

    Looks like one Luke has set up some sort of siphon from the other over the last four years!

    I'm not having it that Lisbinho is 45, his boy looks older than he does.

    Sometimes people don't look their age, one way or another.

    don't mind who wins tonight. 

    from a betting perspective humphries to hit a 180 every set at 7/2 is good value!

    You know when Ethiopian runners are supposed to be 18 and it turns out they are in their twenties, is the same sort of thing happening here? he don't look 16 to me. I reckon its so he can get into Valley on a Junior Reds ticket.
