Matchplay of the female world: Lisa Ashton suffocates Beau Greaves and Bat Fallon Sherrock in the Thriller with final legs to win the title Blackpool | Darts News
Lisa Ashton won a shock victory in the Betfred Women’s World match after surviving 11 game darts to defeat Fallon Sherrock in a final thriller in Blackpool.
The fifth seeded saw Robyn Byrne of Ireland in his quarter-final, then dropped the consecutive champion Beau Greaves in the semi-finals, before spending an exciting competition against Sherrock to win the event for the first time.
Ashton opened its doors with a finish of 85 in the opening leg and added a break of 15 plans to take early control of a tight competition, only for Sherrock to take a plug of 13 plans to trigger a series of three consecutive legs.
Sherrock has lagged behind when Ashton followed a grip in sixth stage by pulling a 72 cash register to move against the throw, but responded by winning the next two legs to move 5-4 before meeting the best of the 11.
Ashton capitalized on eight missed darts of Sherrock to hold the jet in the tenth and bring the competition to a final leg decision maker, where she took advantage of the more mediocre finish of the 2022 champion to seal the victory with a finish of 64.

Greaves pulled an average of 96.12 in a comfortable 4-1 victory against Kirsi Viinikainen at the opening of the tournament, where she opened with a darter but dropped her unique leg in the next after having missed five double darts against the throw.
The 21-year-old woman responded with a 13-poles taken, withdrew a double to seal a 15-post break in the next, then nailed an 89 finish to finish the victory, with Ashton his next opponent after the veteran won a 4-2 victory against Robyn Byrne from Ireland.
The pre-tournoi favorite won the first stage of her semi-final, but dropped 3-1 when Ashton broke with a finish of 60, then capitalized on eight missed darts of Greaves to hold the throw with a superb finish of 140 in the next.

Greaves kept his hopes alive with a brilliant 13-Darter in the seventh stage, only for Ashton to win the next with a 46 box to book a final against Sherrock and avoid a fourth consecutive outing in the semi-finals.
Sherrock ran in a three -leg lead in his quarter -final, but saw Hayter after a finish of 85 to break up as part of a burst of three legs, Sherrock then survived in a Dart match to sneak with a 20 post finish.
His semi-final also traveled the distance against Van Leuven, who dismissed Lorraine Winstanley in straight legs in the quarter-finals, Sherrock catching the initial advantage after winning a disjointed opening stage in 27 darts.
The following six feet went against the launch before Van Leuven ranks with a sensational cash register of 116, taking the competition to a final decision maker, where the two players missed match darts before Sherrock attracted double victory.
