Humphries Defeats Littler, Secures Darts Play-off Spot

Luke Humphries secured a dramatic 6-5 victory over Luke Littler on Night 14 of the Premier League Darts in Leeds, ending a 10-week wait for a nightly win and clinching his place in the play-offs. The tense match unfolded before a passionate home crowd, who booed Manchester United fan Littler as Leeds fans celebrated their football team's promotion. Despite his loss, Littler remains at the top of the standings with a record five nightly wins and has already qualified for the play-offs, alongside Humphries and Gerwyn Price. One remaining play-off spot is still being contested by four players, while Michael van Gerwen's qualification is now at risk. Littler and Humphries will team up to represent England at the World Cup of Darts in June, bringing together the last two world champions. The night's rivalry, banter, and crowd interaction provided a lively and memorable atmosphere.
