Cannibal - was the 2018 Cambridgeshire Open.
Also, half of the tournaments he has played in abroad occurred in the summer holidays anyway - https://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/PlayerD ... rKey=72338

As you can see, while there are some notable names on the list, the vast majority of winners didn't become major players in the senior ranks. I therefore think it's far more likely that Bennett's career fizzles out than not.
You may be right, but LB has been hyped up more than any young player I can recall. Phil Taylor has gone on to say he will be the future of darts. He is hitting high averages for his age. You have to remember he is only 15
I believe he will make a big splash and due to the hype and his antics, he will get a lot of publicity.
Time will tell.

I wonder if Leighton reads this website? Is there an age limit for TDF ?
I think some people need to remember he is only 14 years old.

Taylor said something similar about Chris Dobey and Corey Cadby.

He also once claimed that VVDV was the best Dutch player.

If the Internet was around in the 90s like it is now he would have also said the same about any of the Youth Masters winners on the list as well.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out that most darting prodigies fizzle out. The comments about his poor conduct on the oche are fair game as well.

Indeed, he chooses to play in adult tournaments and therefore will be judged as one.

I am not in any way suggesting he is whiter than white but he is only 14 and this isn’t aimed at any individual on here but for people that are personally abusing him online they need to take a long hard look at themselves.
I am sure everybody on here at 14 was the perfect individual. Randall made a comment about the youth of today and maybe he is right regarding some people. But we have people on the internet that are shocking and are saying and doing stuff they should be held to account for ( this isn’t aimed at any specific individual on here but a generalisation)
