Tipperary’s Dylan Slevin recorded one of the best wins of his career as he defeated world champion Luke Littler in the first round of Players Championship 11.
The current Premier League leader was beaten 6-3 by the 22-year-old from Borrisokane.
Slevin averaged 92.74 compared to Littler’s 90.11 at the tournament in Leicester.
He will play George Killington or Martin Lukeman in the next round this afternoon.
Slevin defeated 2021 world champion Gerwyn Price last week as he continued his good run of form.
Michael van Gerwen was also a surprise casualty in the tournament.
The three-time world champion lost out in a deciding leg to go down 6-5 to fellow Dutchman Maik Kuivenhoven.
Price also fell at the first…
