Huge cheers for Littler, boos for Humphries.
But if there’s one thing a darts crowd love, it’s a singsong so that’s all forgotten for a moment as, orchestrated by Humphries, they belt out a rousing rendition of I Predict A Riot for the second time tonight.

It's going to be an outrageous standard with Littler winning 11-10. 170 outshots and 9 darters should not be ruled out either!

Time to turn our attention to a mouth-watering final, then, between Luke Humphries and Luke Littler.
Which way is this one going?
Result: Humphries 10-7 Aspinall
Image source, PA MediaNathan Aspinall hung in that contest gamely, and it seemed at one point that Luke Humphries would not be able to shake him off.
However, the slightest error and Humphries was able to pounce and then go on to clinically close out the match.
An 105.81 average and seven 180s from Humphries but there was not much to choose between the players. Aspinall managed six 180s and an average of 101.76. Fine margins.

A repeat of last year's final and it should be a cracker!
