Impressive

[Canary42]

I'm not a great fan of Darts (rather the opposite in fact) but this is an impressive performance at only 16 years old. I would love to see him win the final.

Go Luke go.

He's 16, but looks about 36 - stubble and a beer belly, even though he can't legally drink beer!  Maybe he should stop celebrating wins with his favourite food: kebabs  :)

I'm an avid darts fan and have been watching every game avidly. I too find it hard to believe he is 16, with the receding hair, beer belly and facial stubble!! But in all interviews he comes across as a really genuine guy. Am more puzzled by the fact that he has a 21 yr old girlfriend  who is a single mother! Lol!

Watched him play Dolan the other day.  Amazing player.

 

Now just have to wait for the accusations of anal beads or similar!

He does look a lot older than his years but what a star!  I wish him all the best.  I hope he wins.

He'll soon dump his 21 year old bird once he gets his hands on the half a million quid and all the glamour puss gold diggers come out of the woodwork.

The photos of him when he was younger show he has a naturally high hairline, a widow's peak.

Makes you wonder what the 21:year old single mother sees in him ...

I think I know smurf....

Apparently they began dating some weeks back - long before he had stepped up to the oche in the Championship. Sure, he's won several youth titles but i don't think any of them carry much in the way of prize money.

Will be a bit of an anti-climax if he doesn't beat the World Number 1, Luke Humphries.

Good luck to him - and his girlfriend.

I have no interest in the weird world of darts, and was bemused to see the fans at the Ally Pally dressed as dartboards and goodness knows what else. Still, it's plainly a fun event.

I thought Luke would win, and guess what - he did!

You couldn't have got the prediction wrong, could you?
