WARRINGTON teenager Luke Littler grabbed his first nine-darter of 2025 as he struck perfection in the sixth leg against Adam Hunt at Players Championship 5 in Leicester, last night.
He also averaged an incredible 122.96 in his victory over Damon Heta before losing in semi-finals.
The reigning World champion continued his red-hot form as he landed a coveted nine-darter.
Littler started the day by beating Niko Springer, as he battled from 3-0 down early in the game to defeat the young German 6-5 in a last-leg decider.
Littler then came through a thrilling encounter against Adam Hunt 6-5 in the second round of the event where he got his magical nine-darter in the sixth leg of the match.
The Premier League champion recovered from 4-0 down to edge out Dirk van Duijvenbode in a last-leg decider, wrapping up victory with a 126 finish on the bull.
He then secured a 6-2 win over Scott Williams to charge into the quarter-finals where he continued his freakish form by dismantling Damon Heta 6-1.
Averaging an incredible 122.96 in the best-of-11-legs match Littler took his winning streak up to 19 matches, but that sensational run came to an end with a 7-6 semi-final defeat to Gian van Veen, with the Dutchman scoring 121 on the bull in the deciding leg.
Littler has already picked up three titles in two weeks with the UK Open, Premier League Night Five in Brighton and Sunday’s Belgium Open crown.
Littler will be looking to get back to his winning ways when he is back in action later today at the Players Championship 6 in Leicester.
