Three years ago in Kerry, Luke Littler's darts genius was obvious

At the 2021 World Darts Federation Irish Open Youth event, held in Kerry, Luke Littler was defeated by Adam Dee from Carlow. 

Adam Dee and Luke Littler. 

Chris Curran wasn’t buying it. The ‘kid’ standing in front of him at the INEC Arena in Killarney back in November of 2021 was telling him he was only 14 years of age. He looked well north of 18 if he was a day.

Everyone knows Luke Littler now. Thousands of punters will cram into Dublin’s 3Arena on Wednesday evening to see the 17-year old take to the stage for the latest leg of the Premier League Darts roadshow. Back then there were only whispers of his talent to go on.
