14-year-old darts fan wants to open his own store

A teenage darts fan has opened his own shop after being inspired by his ‘hero’ – Luke Littler. Raymond Leese, 14, who hopes to emulate the 17-year-old Warrington prodigy, asked his parents in February if he could start the business. He was captivated by Littler’s incredible performances as the star reached the final of the World Darts Championship and went on to win the sport’s Premier League. And they agreed to let him move into a former pub – which once housed their restaurant – on the condition that he took responsibility for it.
