LUKE LITTLER continued his meteoric rise by winning the World Series of Darts Finals at the weekend with a crushing victory over Michael Smith in Amsterdam.

The teenager powered to an 11-4 triumph in Sunday night’s final after seeing off home favourite Michael van Gerwen by the same scoreline in his semi-final hours earlier.

Former world champion Smith took an early 2-1 lead in the final but checkouts of 140 and 130 turned the match around.
