Luke Littler’s bid to secure a clean sweep was ended after being beaten 10-4 by Jonny Clayton in the World Series of Darts Finals quarter-finals as Ross Smith was crowned the overall victor.
The 19-year-old was aiming to become the first man to win all 10 major televised tournaments in a calendar year, having triumphed in the first five, with a narrow 10-9 win over Nathan Aspinall on Saturday night sending Littler into the final eight.
