World Championship Boys

In 2022, the World Darts Federation (WDF) took over the organization of the World Youth Championship from the BDO. This means that from this year there will be a separate tournament for the boys and the girls and that not only the boys' final, but also the semi-finals will be played on the stage of the Lakeside Country Club.

Two qualifying tournaments were held from which four players eventually qualified for the semi-finals of the World Championship. These are Bradly Roes from the Netherlands, Germany’s Luis Liptow and England’s Charlie Large and Leighton Bennett. In the first semi-final, Roes is too strong for Liptow, he wins 2-0. In the other semi-final, Leighton Bennett doesn’t qualify for the final for a third consecutive edition. Charlie Large wins in a deciding set.

In the final, Large gets off to a slow start and loses the first two sets. He still wins the third, but it is the Dutchman Bradly Roes who wins the fourth set and thus crowns himself as youth world champion. He is the third youth player from the Netherlands to succeed after Colin Roelofs in 2015 and Justin van Tergouw in 2017 and 2018.
