Luke Littler loses to Gerwyn Price, confronts Dublin crowd

Luke Littler faced a challenging night during the Premier League Darts night three in Dublin, where he was defeated 6-4 by Gerwyn Price. The match was marked by significant crowd hostility, with Littler being booed and whistled, which visibly frustrated the young player. After the match, Littler expressed his discontent with the crowd's behavior, stating there is no place for whistling in darts but acknowledging that it's unlikely for a player to walk off stage due to such treatment. Price's performance included an impressive average of 102.64 and five 180s, extending his winning streak against Littler to five matches. Following his defeat, Littler threw his darts case to the floor in a clear display of frustration. He previously commented on the negative impact of crowd distractions, citing an incident involving Rob Cross in a prior match.
