Phil Taylor calls for Leighton Bennett to be included in this year’s Grand Slam of Darts

Phil Taylor has called for 13-year-old feeling Leighton Bennett to be included in this season’s Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton.
Bennett slipped into the spotlight.
The schoolboy nicknamed’Boom Boom’ has scooped six of those 10 events on the Junior Darts Corporation circuit and has enjoyed success on the mature BDO Tour.
PDC chairman Barry Hearn has advocated Bennett to be included by that the BDO as one of their eight representatives for the cross-code occasion of November and speculation is mounting that the 13-year-old is being considered for choice.
The star has risen to 17th above the likes of Martin Adams and Scott Waites, and Taylor thinks interest would be generated by Bennett addition.
“I am not a significant dart-watcher,” Taylor told Sky Sports.
“Somebody just asked me a question about youthful Leighton Bennett and if he have a wildcard into Wolverhampton?
“My answer was that I don’t see the darts on TV but if Leighton Bennett gets a wildcard I’ll see it because he’s exciting. He’s a nightmare to perform.”
Taylor retired from competitive action following the 2018 World Championship, however Bennett has been faced by the world winner double and he’s experienced mixed fortunes.
‘The’ Power’ defeated the child 10-7 at London’s Tower in March, although Bennett acquired his revenge, beating the 59-year-old 4-1 at the SAP Darts Slam in Frankfurt back in June.
“I’ve played him a couple of times and he’s a complete nightmare, since he’s a young lad and he’s great,” Taylor added.
“He has no fear at him whatsoever. I quite like that in him”
