Luke Littler’s sister sends amazing three-word message after 16-year-old storms into World Darts Championship semi-final
LUKE LITTLER’S sister Caitlin sent the darts sensation an amazing three-word message after he reached the World Darts Championship semi-final.
The Warrington wonderboy stormed past his opponent once again, beating Brendan Dolan 5-1 to progress to the final four.
Littler could go all the way and sister Caitlin shared her pride with his achievements on social media.
She wrote: “The dream continues. Unbelievably proud of you.”
Littler, 16, shared the exact same message to his mum Lisa after he beat Matt Campbell in the third round.
He broke down in tears celebrating with his mum following that win and has since gone from strength to strength.
Next the teenager beat his childhood hero Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 in the last 16 and showed he was in control after deciding to tee up an easy 30 finish instead of winning the match by hitting bullseye.
He celebrated that victory by attending Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth and the youngster looked very relaxed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Ally Pally legend Barney hailed Littler after their duel, calling him a “dartbot”.
He said: “I’ll take my hat off for him. Respect. It looked like I was playing against a ‘dartbot’.
“There was absolutely nothing I could do about it. He was hitting everything. I tried my best and I think I wasn’t playing so bad.
“I need some time to recover from this. This was absolutely insane.
“If he didn’t hit the triple 20 it was the triple 19. At one moment I missed two doubles 16 for a very important 71-finish to win the set. But I missed them.
“But I couldn’t do anything on his legs. He was too good.
“I don’t care at all who wins now because I’m out of the tournament. For me it’s over and it hurts.
“Luke was better and all my respect to him. I wish him all the best for the tournament.”
