World Darts Championship LIVE RESULTS: Littler breaks down in TEARS after winning as Barney CRASHES OUT – updates

LUKE LITTLER was left in TEARS after a brilliant win in his first match of the World Darts Championship.

Teen sensation Littler, 17, started his darts campaign with a superb win over Ryan Meikle – but then had to cut short an interview after becoming emptional at the support he’d been shown.

Earlier, former world champion Raymond van Barneveld CRASHED OUT against Welshman Nick Kenny, while Littler rival Damon Heta is also in action.
