  • Why is Luke Littler absent from European Darts Trophy?

    While Littler has not stated his exact reason for pulling out, it has been confirmed he will not appear at the European Darts Trophy 2025.

    One potential reason for Littler pulling out could be his recent displays, going far in many competitions.

    He won the UK Open and the Belgian Open, as well as making it to the final of Premier League Darts three weeks in a row, winning two of those.

    The teenage sensation has had a hectic - and brilliant - start to 2025 and is probably taking a well-earned rest.

  • Dutchman shows never count your chickens

    Connor Scutt thought when he broke his opponent, he was heading to victory. The celebration seemed to rile up van Veen who went on to book his place in tomorrow's matches.

    I was really nervous today, I don't know why. There was a lot of switching and a lot of luck that has got me through to tomorrow. Connor is a great player, great guy as well. I had lots of luck today and I really wanted to win this game and thankfully I did.

    Gian van VeenNetherlands

    We go to a deciding leg.

  • Gian van Veen 4-5 *Connor Scutt

    Van Veen didn't seem to like the celebration from Scutt in the last leg.

    The Dutch player misses all three darts at double tops.

    Scutt then misses two match darts to secure his first European tour victory.

    Van Veen punishes him, hitting double tops to break.

  • Gian van Veen 3-4 *Connor Scutt

    Big moment in the match for Gian van Veen.

  • Gian van Veen* 2-2 Connor Scutt

  • Gian van Veen 0-1 *Connor Scutt

    Fantastic start to this match as Scutt gets a maximum on his first visit.

    He needs to show some form now he has a tour card.

    Levels.

  • Gian van Veen vs Connor Scutt

    'The Sniper' Connor Scutt will hope to have his range in here.

    He walks on to 'Welcome to the Jungle' here in Germany.

    Gian van Veen often threatens to show some form but consistency is often his nemesis in the big events.
