ASP VOWS TO “BATTER” LITTLER
06/03/2024 By Phil Lanning
FIRED-UP Nathan Aspinall has vowed to “smash” and “batter” his stablemate Luke Littler.
The Stockport star is the most in-form player going into the sixth round of the Premier League in Brighton on Thursday night.
Aspinall, 32, has reached the last two finals and beat Rob Cross in Exeter last week to move up to fourth in the table.
Now he faces his young pal Littler who is under the same management and darts firm Target.
However ‘The Asp’ has promised no sentiment towards the teen sensation who is two places above him in the league.
He said: “I’ve gone back-to-back final and won in Exeter. I’m full of confidence and you can see that with how I’m playing. I want to be here; I want to be playing the big players every week.
“Forget how good Luke is at darts, the sport is now global because of him,
“Rest assured I’m going to smash him in Brighton.I keep telling Luke, the next time we meet on that stage, I’m going to batter him.
“He also knows what I can do. We train together regularly, and he’s never beaten me in practice.
“He hit that fantastic nine against me in Bahrain, but it’ll be a different story in Brighton.”
Night Six, The Brighton Centre.
Quarter-Finals: Luke Humphries vs Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross vs Michael van Gerwen, Nathan Aspinall vs Luke Littler, Michael Smith vs Peter Wright.
