Dimitri van den Bergh has made history by defending his PDC Unicorn World Youth title.
The young Belgian made it back-to-back World Youth crowns with a brilliant display on Sunday night in Minehead as he beat German Martin Schindler 6-3.
The Unicorn star was in superb form as he averaged 100.44 to take the prestigious title and a prize of £10,000

He was close but Gary Anderson’s bid to win a second Players Championship crown came to an end in the semi-finals in Minehead.
The Unicorn star was edged out 11-9 in a thriller by Michael van Gerwen, who was then beaten 11-9 in an epic final by Daryl Gurney who claimed his second ‘Major’ TV title in sensational style.
Gurney took out 85 on the bull to deny Van Gerwen a fourth straight Players Championship victory. The Irishman came from 9-8 down to take the win.
Anderson will be disappointed after
Gary Anderson and Chris Dobey will fly the Unicorn flag as the pair bid for Players Championship glory.
In the last 16, both won all Unicorn clashes.....Dobey beating James Wade in a thrilling last leg decider but Anderson was too good for Joe Cullen winning 10-2.
The Scot, who won the tournament back in 2014, has dropped only five legs so far this weekend. For Dobey it was arguably the biggest win of his career and he reached a ‘Major’ TV quarter-final for the second time.
It was a terrific day
He came into the Players Championship Finals as the No.1 seed and all the pressure that goes with it.
But Ian White took centre stage on the opening day in Minehead with a blistering display.
And Gary Anderson wasn’t far behind White in terms of performance!
In all 14 Team Unicorn players came to the Players Championship party.
But White stole the show as he set up a 2nd Round clash with Brendan Dolan after a 6-2 victory over Scott Taylor. His end average of 111.12 was the second highest in 11-year

There was heartache for Gary Anderson at the Grand Slam as he fell to an agonising defeat in the final.
The Unicorn man was beaten 16-13 by Gerwyn Price in Wolverhampton on Sunday in what was an ill-tempered final.
Having seen off Michael van Gerwen in the semi-finals, Anderson got embroiled in a war of words with Price and from 13-11 in front, he lost five straight legs as Price became the first Welshman to claim a PDC Major.
It really was there for the taking but Gary couldn’t take his chances
Devon Petersen will be back at the World Championship.
The Team Unicorn ace won the African qualifier on Sunday to make it to the Alexandra Palace for a sixth time.
It will be a huge relief for Devon who has endured a tough year on the PDC Pro Tour.
But he will get another chance to shine on the biggest stage in World darts next month.
At the qualifier in Cape Town on Sunday, Petersen held his nerve as he justified his favourites tag to go through from a strong field of 64 players.
He dropped only
