UKE LITTLER smashed James Wade 4-0 without dropping even one leg in just over 15 MINUTES. The teen sensation breezed into the last eight of the World Masters with a demolition of Wade in Milton Keynes on Saturday night. Littler, 18, smashed The Machine without dropping a leg or even allowing the 10-times major winner one dart a double.

Obviously towards the end I missed 170 and I thought James was going to do it to win his first leg of the match. He missed it and I took my chance.

“You always expect the best game out of James. But I’m thankful for him not turning up tonight. “But the 105 would have taken some beating and I was good on the doubles that I’m really happy with. “I just wanted to get the job done. James didn’t play very well. But tonight wasn’t his day. “I’m a quick starter and that’s what you need in this tournament. “Double 10 is always there for me, it’s always knocking about. I can always switch to the 10s. It’s an early wake-up for myself tomorrow!.
