Luke Littler finally won a night of the Premier League as he beat Nathan Aspinall in the final in Belfast.
Despite consistently picking up points through the campaign, Littler had only made one out of eight finals prior to Thursday night, but he hit top form in Northern Ireland.
Littler kicked off the final with a 136 checkout, and nearly took out a 170 finish in the next leg but missed the bullseye. Aspinall returned to the oche to coolly take out 70, and then won the next two legs to move 3-1 ahead.
Back came Littler, with a 125 finish on the bullseye levelling things up at 3-3.
Littler took control by winning the next two legs, only for Aspinall to hit back by breaking Littler's throw to bring the score back to 5-4. But Littler steadied himself to win wrap up a 6-4 win and move into second place in the table.
