Luke Humphries delivers honest Luke Littler comment that says everything about darts

Luke Humphries won a second consecutive night of Premier League Darts on Thursday, moving him above Michael van Gerwen at the top of the leaderboard and believes he and teenage sensation Luke Littler are putting darts in the “best place possible”

Luke Humphries insists himself and Luke Littler are putting darts in the best place it has ever been.

Humphries enjoyed another win at Thursday’s Premier League Darts, moving him above Michael van Gerwen on the leaderboard. Humphries overcame Michael Smith in his quarter-final, a repeat of his final from the week before. The reigning world champion defeated Peter Wright and Nathan Aspinall to claim the night’s crown in Nottingham.

The 29 year-old, who won his first World Darts Championship in January – beating Littler in the final – has been in red hot form in recent months and now playing in his first Premier League, is starting to look like the man to beat. The Littler effect has certainly played a part in darts’ popularity rising in recent months, and Humphries is confident about the sport’s future.

“What me and Luke have done since the Worlds has been amazing for the sport. I think the sport is in the best place possible now, the best place it has ever been,” he shared with Sky Sports.
