Luke Humphries retained the Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals title on Sunday night in sensational fashion, defeating great rival Luke Littler in a thrilling final in Minehead.
World number one Humphries had scooped his third big-stage title a year in the Players Championship Finals, and achieved his ambition of keeping his hands on the trophy to end a memorable event.
Littler, making his Players Championship Finals debut following a stunning first full year on the professional circuit, had continued his outstanding form to reach the final as he sought to follow up his Grand Slam of Darts triumph with successive TV titles.
Littler fired in four ton-plus checkouts during the contest - including finishes of 170 and 164 - but Humphries, proved too strong to wrap up an 11-7 triumph and scoop the £120,000 title.
