Luke shaped up after losing out to oldest flinger in town

- BY MIKE WALTERS

LUKE HUMPHRIES faces 71-year-old Paul Lim in a rematch for the ages tonight grateful for the crushing defeat which turned out to be the best "win" of his career.

When 'Cool Hand Luke' was humbled by darts' elder statesman in the first round behind closed doors at Alexandra Palace five years ago, it forced him into a wholesale audit of his lifestyle.

Just three months after his surrender of a two-set lead to Singapore legend Lim, then 66 (inset), Humphries announced his new fitness and diet regime by reaching the UK Open final and he has never looked back.
