Tipperary’s Aidan O’Hara has qualified for the WDF World Cup youth singles final in Seoul, South Korea after beating Turkey’s Kerem Calikiran in Thursday’s semi-final.

The 17-year-old was undefeated in the three-game group stages before seeing off Sweden’s Maxmillian Kamp 4-2 in the last 16 and guaranteeing himself a medal with a 4-1 quarter-final win over Finland’s Rafael Riiali.

In the semi-final, O’Hara survived two 15-dart legs from Calikiran to take a 5-3 victory.

He’ll now face Canada’s Peyton Hammond in Saturday’s final.
