Luke Littler’s crashes out of Premier League Darts Night 12 in Rotterdam at the first hurdle as Michael Smith beats teenage sensation for a FOURTH time
Luke Littler has crashed out of Night 12 of the Darts Premier League in the quarter-finals after another loss to Michael Smith.
It was Smith’s fourth Premier League win over Littler in the Darts Premier League.
Smith beat Littler 6-3 to reach the semi-finals in Rotterdam.
It was a high-quality match, with both players hitting four 180s and averaging scores of over 100.
However, some ruthless checkout work from Smith was enough for him to see of the 17-year-old prodigy.

The Bully Boy did actually squander one match dart to give Littler a chink of light and a potential route back into the game.
But Littler required 80 and couldn’t find it, with Smith finishing him off via a double six.
While Warrington’s most prominent darting export recorded an average of 100.34, an admirable score, Smith was his superior with 102.32.
Coming into the night, Littler was the front-runner in the Premier League ahead of Luke Humphries, who beat him in the Darts World Championship final in January.
