Littler beat Humphries in a deciding leg

Humphries came into the evening after winning three consecutive nights in a row.

No thrower had ever won four in a row and the record remains in tact after Littler’s heroics.

The Warrighton wonderkid raced into an early lead, breaking Humphries in the second leg to go 2-0 up.

But the current world champion showed his composure and made the most of a mistake from the teenage sensation to break back.

There was nothing to split the two players up until 4-4, then Humphries engineered a break opportunity but missed the bullseye.

Littler stepped up to the oche and sealed the leg on the double five.

The wonderkid missed a match dart at 5-4 and thought his chance had gone as Humphries forced a decider at 5-5.

But throwing first in the all-important leg, Littler sealed the win and celebrated wildly.

He punched the air and let out a roar before hugging his rival.
