LUKE'S SHARP

Teen ace sinks Gilding

- MIKE WALTERS

IT’S official – Luke ‘The Nuke’ is the new duke in town.

As Luke Littler took Alexandra Palace by storm for the second time in 24 hours, the impossible dream suddenly became real.

The boy wonder’s 3-1 win to knock out No.20 seed Andrew Gilding means the 16-year-old must now be considered a genuine contender to win the Paddy Power World Darts Championship.

And if you don’t believe it, just listen to Phil Taylor, the greatest of all time.
