Littler defies another slow start to earn record-breaking Blackpool win
Blackpool Gazette
|July 29, 2025
Luke Littler admits he had to 'dig deep' to secure the Betfred World Matchplay title at the Winter Gardens on Sunday evening.
The 18-year-old became the youngest winner in Blackpool, after claiming an 18-13 victory over James Wade to complete the PDC Triple Crown.
With six of the 10 majors already under his belt, Littler's focus has now immediately shifted to what he can win next.
"It's been good here in Blackpool, picking up the trophy and ending on a high," he said.
"It wasn’t the best of starts for myself, and for some of the fans in there supporting me, but I just had to find those gears and dig deep once again.
"To be honest, I can’t wait to go home and go back to normal reality."
It was a slow start to the evening for Littler, with the 18-year-old quickly finding himself 5-0 down.
