Beau Greaves Secures Consecutive Women's Series Victories

Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the PDC Women’s Series by clinching back-to-back titles on Sunday, adding another trophy to her already impressive collection. The 22‑year‑old English star entered the double‑header at the Matioli Arena with a clear goal: to get as close as possible to her 60th series win. After missing the previous day’s action, Greaves returned with a ferocious start, registering three straight whitewash wins over Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim in the morning session. Those flawless victories set the tone for what would become a day full of high‑octane darts and relentless pressure on her opponents.

In the first event of the day, Event 19, Greaves faced a stern test from Gemma Hayter. The match began unfavourably for the Doncaster prodigy as Hayter surged ahead to a 3-2 lead. Demonstrating the composure that has become her trademark, Greaves fought back, taking the next three legs to secure a 5-3 win and a place in the quarter‑finals.

The comeback underscored her mental toughness and ability to thrive under pressure, qualities that have propelled her to the top of the women’s rankings. The quarter‑final saw Greaves meet Aileen de Graaf, a seasoned Dutch competitor who has been a regular fixture in the latter stages of the series. Greaves dispatched de Graaf with a decisive 5-1 scoreline, posting an average of more than 96 points per three darts – a figure that highlighted both her scoring power and finishing accuracy.

Riding that momentum, she advanced to the semi‑final where she faced Kirsty Hutchinson. Again, Greaves proved unstoppable, winning 5-2 and booking her spot in the Event 19 final. The final of Event 19 was a repeat of the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final, pitting the popular duo "Beau 'n' Arrow" against the veteran Lisa Ashton. The encounter was billed as a clash of the current champion with one of the sport’s most decorated players.

Greaves dropped the opening leg but quickly responded with three consecutive legs, establishing a 3-1 lead. She continued to apply relentless pressure, eventually sealing the match 5-3 with a spectacular 14‑dart leg that left the crowd roaring.

The victory not only gave Greaves her 58th Women’s Series title but also reinforced her status as the player to beat. After a brief intermission, the afternoon session of Event 20 began. Greaves replicated her earlier success, opening with a 4-0 whitewash of Leanne Halls followed by another 4-0 win over Felicia Bay.

Throughout the day she dropped only three legs in total, a testament to her consistency. In the quarter‑finals she faced Louise Pearson and Rhian O’Sullivan, winning both matches 4-1.

Her next opponent, Angela Kirkwood, fell to Greaves in a flawless 5-0 performance, securing her place in the final four of the event. In the semi‑final, Greaves met Karolina Ratajska. She started the match with an astonishing 11‑dart leg, immediately putting Ratajska on the back foot.

Greaves maintained her dominance, cruising to a 5-1 victory and setting up a showdown with de Graaf once again in the Event 20 final. This time the Dutchwoman was unable to match Greaves’ firepower; the English champion produced an average north of 91 and delivered a clean sweep, winning 5-0 and claiming her 59th Women’s Series title.

Greaves’ triumphs have left her firmly atop the Women’s Series leaderboard. Lisa Ashton remains in second place, while the ever‑consistent Fallon Sherrock holds third.

Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth, occupying the final qualifying spot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
