NEWLY-CROWNED CHAMPION HUMPHRIES SALUTES INCREDIBLE’ TEEN STAR AFTER ENDING HIS DREAM RUN

- Matt Majendie

I'M A PARTY POOPER ... BUT LUKE IS GOING TO DOMINATE DARTS

LUKE HUMPHRIES has tipped Luke Littler to usurp him as darts world champion and go on to dominate the sport, after the 16-year-old narrowly missed out in an epic final.

Littler remained the talk of Ally Pally even after finishing runner-up, following a 7-4 defeat against the world No1 and a remarkable run on his debut at the sport's biggest event.

Humphries, well aware his triumph was not the fairytale finish most had wished for, said: "Unfortunately, I had to spoil the party. But he will win a world title. If he doesn't, I'll be very, very shocked.

"I had to get this one now because he's going to dominate world darts soon. He's an incredible player. He's an incredible talent. He's going to win plenty more, I'm sure.
