Rattled Luke Littler fires again at booing Dublin crowd throughout shock Premier League Darts defeat by Gerwyn Price, with residence followers backing Welshman over the Englishman

Premier League Darts night three was one to forget for Luke Littler as he was beaten by Gerwyn Price in a match where he was booed and whistled by the Dublin crowd..

Price beat Luke Littler 6-4 in the quarter-final clash to make it five wins in a row over the teenage sensation.

The Iceman ended the match with an average of 102.64, having scored five 180s. 

Littler was given a hard time by the Dublin crowd, who whistled him throughout. 

The 17-year-old had spoken out on fans ahead of the event, saying there was no place for whistling but also doubting the chances of a player ever walking off because of it.  

‘Well for us players, probably not. Obviously, I wouldn’t want it to happen to anyone.

‘If that was the worst case then I’m sure a player, I don’t know, has he got the right to walk off stage? Maybe, or maybe not.

‘If a player does walk off stage, then I’m sure the security, they’ve got to do their job and obviously kick whoever’s doing the whistling out. Just kick them out. And then I’m sure as players, we can get on with it.

‘Obviously it’s not a good thing for any fans to be whistling, whether it’s me or my opponent.

‘For example, last week Rob Cross when he missed two at double 18, they whistled, he missed. You can say it was the crowd’s fault that he missed those doubles because you never see Rob Cross miss double 18.

‘We’ve just got to get on with our job. And if the fans are whistling against our opponents then it’ll certainly help us.’
