Barney v Littler next. I suspect Barney's experience will see him through, but wouldn't be surprised if the young lad continues his impressive march.

Should be another cracker hopefully.

Barney doesn't seem right, but you'd have to think Littler will come across difficulties at some point.

Looked pretty cool in dispatching Barney in that first set.

[Maximus Decimus]

Well if there were any nerves they didn't show in the first set!

Wasn't he just. He has some confidence.

In Bull Durham, aka the greatest sports film ever made, the young thing about to make it big carries the nickname Nuke.

As the older folk, who haven't made it big, remark, "The world is made for those not cursed with self awareness."

Nuke Littler will be fine. And this is a stunning performance so far.

[Damien]

Littler takes the 2nd set too.

[Gerrumonside ref]

If there is a zone, then Littler is in it.

It’s as if the Terminator has picked up a set of darts instead of sunglasses.

Unflinching so far.

Some unbelievable darts from him so far.

[tiffers]

Incredible scoring from both. Brilliant entertainment. 

[Damien]

Unbelievable from Littler again taking the third set.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Ruthless with the doubles.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Like a machine.

He ought to be out clubbing till 4 in the morning, like any normal 16 year old.

Only complacency can beat Littler I feel even as Barney pulls back a set to make it 3-1

[tiffers]

This will be a good test for Littler now.

He had his chance too. Hopefully the momentum doesn't now shift and Littler keeps his composure.

As littler posts a 180.

[Damien]

It was important that he won that first leg.

[tiffers]

Here we go... Pressure 

[Damien]

That was an absolutely astounding performance from Littler to win 4-1

[Gerrumonside ref]

That.  Was.  Impressive.  (Very, very).

What maturity at the end there. Superb scoring. 

 

Pressure... What pressure.
