Luke Littler darts fans can back 'The Nuke' in Premier League with his playing shirt
Luke Littler fans can now buy the 17-year-old's playing shirt to support him as he continues to demonstrate his talent in the Premier League.
The darts sensation was only 16 when he wowed Alexandra Palace at the World Darts Championship (WDC), despite a final loss to Luke Humphries.
The Nuke will continue playing against seven of the best dart players in the world — Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall, Rob Cross and Peter Wright — in a mini-tournament in a different city every Thursday until the final in May.
In another brief interview with the AFC Bournemouth Women website, Bowers said: “I am really pleased. The girls seem great, there are really good facilities and Steve (Cuss) seems a great manager, so I’m really excited to get going.
“They have got a great ambition here and good goals to achieve. I want to help achieve that and be a part of that to take into next season."
She could have been in line to make her National League debut for the Cherries against fellow Hampshire side Moneyfields. However, the fixture, which was to take place at the John Jenkins Stadium, was postponed hours before kick-off.
Steve Cuss' side will next be in action on Sunday, March 17, when they take on Maidenhead United Ladies.
