I smell a potential upset here (by which I mean someone other than the Lukes will win)

Quite tempted by the 16/1 for Michael van Gerwen this may be the highest odds I've seen from MvG for a good fourteen years.

Could be brilliant value that!

Gone for MvG at 16/1,

Sadly no dice for your MVG bet. Looks like Littler's to lose now although never count out The Iceman!

My other punt for the championship is still on though.

My other punt for the championship is very much still on though but he faces Jonny Clayton.

I can see tonight being an comfortable win for Littler over Gilding. For Price v Rock, that could be 16-10 onwards either way.

Luke Littler has become the fifth player to complete darts' Triple Crown by beating James Wade 18-13 in a brilliant World Matchplay final in Blackpool.

The 18-year-old has joined Phil Taylor, Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Luke Humphries on the list of players to have won the Matchplay, Premier League and World Championship.

Wade, who won the Matchplay in 2007 when his opponent was six months old, raced 5-0 ahead before Littler reeled off five consecutive legs to level the best-of-35-legs contest.

The teenager from Warrington nudged in front for the first time at 7-6 but could not fully shake off his fellow Englishman, 42, during a high-quality final until a run of four consecutive legs pushed him over the winning line.

Both players posted three-dart averages in excess of 101 and hit more than 40% of their attempts at doubles, while Littler threw 17 180s on his way to securing the Phil Taylor Trophy and £200,000 first prize.

In the Women's World Matchplay, Fallon Sherrock missed 11 match darts to win it and it was Lisa Ashton who won it 5-4 who takes the place at the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Championship.
