DARTS:

Teenage Warrington darts sensation Luke Littler shook off his early World Matchplay exit by winning the Cheshire Open at Coppenhall Workingmen’s Club in Crewe at the weekend.

The 17-year-old pocketed £1,000 from the £20 entrance fee after defeating Welshman Dafydd Edwards 6-2 in the men’s singles final, joining the elite company of Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting as winners of the event.

BOWLS:

Both the Silcock and Stan Bann Cup Finals take place this Saturday at Grappenhall Ex-Serviceman’s Club.

First up at noon sees Warrington and North Cheshire Bowls Association Section C table toppers Bull’s Head taking on second-placed Orford War Memorial.

Following on at 3pm is the Silcock Cup which features a repeat of the 2022 final between Woolston A and St Oswald’s A.

Two years ago St Oswald’s came out on top but Woolston went one better last year when they defeated Alford Hall A.
