Priestley student Kasey Smith takes on Luke Littler in Netflix darts challenge
A 16-year-old Priestley College student has appeared on a major Netflix darts show, after being selected from more than 25,000 applicants.
Priestley College says Kasey Smith was chosen to face Luke Littler on Beat Luke Littler, filmed at Manchester Central. The college says the English literature, psychology, law and criminology student is the only female contestant from Manchester to make it through the auditions.
Priestley says Smith has only been playing darts since July last year, after being encouraged to try a local academy, and is already competing at youth county level. The college adds that she hopes her appearance will help encourage more girls into the sport.
