‘Next Luke Littler’, 10, breaks darts record with highest EVER average on Foundation Tour

OWEN BRYCELAND hit the highest-ever 104.86 average on the Foundation Tour - aged just TEN!

The Cumbernauld kid has been dubbed the ‘Even Littler Luke Littler’ after winning back-to-back events in Coventry.

Bryceland beat fellow Scot 13-year-old Mitchell Lawrie 5-1 in the Event 11 final before seeing off England’s Jack Howarth in a 5-4 thriller in the Event 12 decider.

Bryceland said: “I got new darts last Friday so it was good to know they are good for me.

“Mitchell’s a good player and I like playing him because he’s good and it will take me up a level and make me play better.”

Bryceland kicked off Sunday's action with Event 11 success.

The Scot then completed a memorable double by beating Howarth 5-4 in the Event 12 final, denying the Englishman what would have been a fifth title on this year’s Tour.

Howarth fought back from 4-2 down to force a decider, but Bryceland - who only took up darts two years ago – wrapped up victory with a nerveless 104 checkout.

The talented youngster also hit the Foundation Tour’s highest ever average of 104.86 in his last-16 win over Joshua Machin, to cap off a superb weekend in the West Midlands.

Fans have been stunned by the news. One said: “That’s Luke’s cousin, Even Littler.”

Another said: “Cheers. Just put my darts in the bin.”

One fan added: “Can he even reach his darts if he hits double top? Fair play to the lad he’ll be in the Premier League next year at this rate.”

In another post on X, it was stated: “I’ve seen enough, get him in the Premier League over (Peter) Wright.”
