After defeating Robinson in the British Teenage Open's quarterfinals, Bailey went on to successfully defend his title and secure a spot in the senior division of Winmau World Masters, which will be held in Bridlington on the 4th September.
The prodigy's abilities did not escape the attention of World number two, Scott Waites, who was competing in an exhibition game at Hull's Brownies Bar for the Thursday Trebles League.
“We chatted for about 10 minutes afterwards and he gave me some good advice, he said I rushed the last dart a bit but he said he was not as good as me at that age," said Robinson on his encounter with the BDO champ. “I think it helped me a lot, my scoring was good and my finishing was ace too at the British Masters and I averaged around 30 per dart in each match. It meant quite a lot to me to win, because I wanted the British Teenage title and missed out, but I’ve won a bigger one now.”
Meanwhile, Frank Burnison, chairman of the Humberside youth darts organisation anticipates the rise of new talent from Humberside and hopes that Robinson's win is just the beginning. He said, "Considering that he is winning senior opens at the age of only 17 it is just phenomenal he is following in the dart prints of people like James Wade.
