4 English youth champs followed by 4 non-English.


2011 - Arron Monk def Michael van Gerwen 6-4
2012 - James Hubbard def Michael van Gerwen 6-3
2013 - Michael Smith def Ricky Evans 6-1
2014 - Keegan Brown def Rowby-John Rodriguez 6-4
2015 - Max Hopp def Nathan Aspinall 6-5
2016 - Corey Cadby def Berry van Peer 6-2
2017 - Dimitri Van den Bergh def Josh Payne 6-3
Also the second all non-English final.

There's only ever been one all-English final too.

Interesting how pretty much all of those former finalists have been through some really rough patches. Aside from Monk and Hubbard falling off the face of the earth, they're at least all in the process of bouncing back- this year in particular has been a breakout year for a lot of them

Cammy on verge of defeat to one Jimmy McKirdy, who sounds like he should be in a Communards tribute band.
