Youth Final
For Levy Frauenfelder, the Finder Darts Master Youth final against Irishman Keane Barry became one to be forgotten as quickly as possible. Levy, who had a perfect warming up, was bothered by dartism when he started to play the final on the big stage and so he was not able to play at his best to win the title Keane Barry who the entire youth tournament player well and even on the opening day produced the highest average of the day so easily won the final with 2-0 in sets (twice 3-0 in the set) Averages Frauenfelder 75.47 and Barry 80.52
