In 2016 another BDO Youth World Championship tournament was being held at the Lakeside. After the Youth Qualifier, featuring a field with over 64 players, Jordan Boyce and Josh Richardson faced each other at the main stage in Frimley Green.
Richardson claimed the world title by defeating Boyce 3-2 in the final. Dutch ace and pre-tournament favourite Maikel Verberk did not manage to reach the final, because he lost to eventual finalist Boyce in the quarterfinals.
