First 9 darter on telly on Double 15?

Andy Jenkins has been banned for 11 years and fined more than £17,000 for match-fixing.

He was an semi-finalist at the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship and he had an two year ban from the PDC in 2009 for punching Terry Jenkins in an tournament in Holland.

Littler, who survived a first-round scare on Friday against Haupai Puha (6-5), returned on finals day to dispatch Damon Heta 6-3 in the quarter-finals, Stephen Bunting 7-4 in the semi-finals, before overcoming De Decker by 8-4 to win the Australian Darts Masters.

It is Littler’s fifth title of the season. Since claiming the World Championship in January, The Nuke has lifted the UK Open in March, the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze, and last month’s World Matchplay crown. This triumph marks his third World Series success, following titles in Bahrain and Poland in 2024.

Luke Humphries suffered a rare 6–0 whitewash defeat to Mike De Decker in Wollongong this weekend — just the seventh time in his PDC career that the world number one has failed to win a leg in a match.
