17 in a couple of weeks. I think he took his GCSEs in the last school year.How old is he btw
Work ethic of darts and snooker players is of the highest standard.I find the sniffy attitude to darts very troubling, it’s definitely elitist in nature. I really don’t think people understand how much skill & tactics are involved in the game. The fat shaming is also pretty grim, I suppose everyone on here is some kind of bronzed Adonis?
Top level elite sport is bloody hard but there’s always people questioning their intellect etc.
Time to grow up & recognise that people have different skills & are able to achieve great things with it.
He played better, pushed Luke Jr at the right times and rightfully came out on top. I feel a little sorry for him as the winner because half the questions are about the guy he vanquished.Unbelievably mature performance from a very talented (almost) 17 year old but without wishing to take anything away from him Luke Snr. was phenomenal, an unprecedented number of 180s, quite a few sensational finishes and consistently higher scoring earned him the victory.

Putting a dartboard that close to a hosepipe is brave...
I stuck one through the side of an oil filled radiator when I was a kid. Tried to cover it up with a bit of tape. That didn't work out so well tbh.Putting a dartboard that close to a hosepipe is brave...
Steve Beaton is still known as ‘The Bronzed Adonis’ as viewers of this year‘s competition will attest…Work ethic of darts and snooker players is of the highest standard.
Ironically Steve Beaton used to be called 'The Bronzed Adonis' by Sid Waddell. I remember he must have called him that about twenty times, then came back after a break and never said it again. Someone must have 'ad a word in 'is shell-like.
It's a great name. I didn't see his bulky frame on the oche this time round.Steve Beaton is still known as ‘The Bronzed Adonis’ as viewers of this year‘s competition will attest…
with my ability at darts, you'd have to cover the security light with a bucket too!We take the hose reel down if my wife is playing and the window is plastic, not glass.
not for me, I had a largish bet on him at 22/1 - ah well... what might have been if he hadn't miscounted and got the second treble 18, 18 and tops was the shot and he never got another chance after thatProbably a good thing in the longer term.

Disagree all you like but you are plain wrong. I used to play football in the park with my son but I don't equate that to those who do it for a living.I disagree.
Darts is really a pub game, to be enjoyed between friends. Nothing wrong with that.
The problem for it, is that it has sometimes been associated with drunkenness and it can all get out of hand leading to a less than pleasant experience for other pub goers. The behaviour of some at this tournament might put some people off it.
I quite enjoy a game of darts on a few occasions, on warm summer evenings at the bottom of our garden with family or friends.
I can be, "well prepared for it."

I thought he'd retired?Steve Beaton is still known as ‘The Bronzed Adonis’ as viewers of this year‘s competition will attest…
