Luke Littler made startling nine-dart finish prediction before Premier League Darts perfection in Cardiff

Luke Littler’s Bold Prediction Comes True with Nine-Dart Finish in Cardiff

Luke Littler made a stunning nine-dart finish at the Premier League Darts in Cardiff, fulfilling a prediction he had made in a conversation with referee and spotter Owen Binks.

Littler claimed his third Premier League Darts nightly win of the season after defeating Nathan Aspinall (6-3), Rob Cross (6-2), and Michael van Gerwen in the final. However, it was his remarkable perfect leg in the Night Seven final that stole the show.

After hitting back-to-back 180s, Littler was left with 141 and chose an unconventional checkout route—T20, T17, and Double 15—marking the first time he had used that finish on TV.

A Prediction Fulfilled

Before the match, Binks had humorously asked Littler:
“Spotting again tonight. Are you going T17, D15 again on 81 just so I know?”

Littler’s response was cryptic yet telling:
“My nine-darter in Leicester was 60-51-30, so take a hint.”

This was a reference to his previous nine-dart finish at Players Championship 5 in Leicester, and true to his word, he followed the same route.

Binks playfully warned him:
“Understood. Just be sure not to come inside on the D15.”

Focused on the Playoffs

Speaking to Emma Paton on Sky Sports, Littler emphasized his main priority:
“I just want to get to the O2 [for May’s play-offs] as quickly as possible.”

With his recent performances, he has positioned himself well in the Premier League standings and has set his sights on finishing No. 1.

“I was happy with my doubles tonight, but there is plenty more to come,” he added.

Taking a Break Before Newcastle

Despite his success, Littler has opted to skip this weekend’s European Tour event, choosing to rest instead. He confirmed he won’t return to European Tour action until his next appearance in Newcastle.

As Littler continues to impress, fans eagerly anticipate his next moves in the Premier League Darts.
