Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the Women’s Series circuit by clinching back-to-back titles on Sunday, adding another prestigious trophy to her growing collection. The 22-year-old English star showcased her exceptional skill and composure across two intense events—Events 19 and 20—held at the Matioli Arena, cementing her status as the leading figure in women’s darts and edging ever closer to the milestone of sixty career titles. The day began with a remarkable series of whitewash wins in the early rounds of Event 19. Greaves dispatched Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim without conceding a single leg, a display that highlighted both her precision and her ability to maintain a high scoring average under pressure.
These flawless victories set the tone for what would become a marathon of high‑quality darts throughout the afternoon. In the quarter‑finals, Greaves faced a stern test against Gemma Hayter. After falling behind 2‑3, she rallied with a series of heavy trebles and finishing doubles, turning the match around to win 5‑3.
This comeback not only demonstrated her mental resilience but also secured her place in the semi‑finals, where she would encounter Dutch competitor Aileen de Graaf. The semi‑final proved to be a showcase of Greaves’s scoring power. She overwhelmed de Graaf with a 5‑1 victory, posting an average that topped 96 points per three darts—a figure that underscores her consistency and scoring depth. Her performance propelled her into the Event 19 final, where she met fellow Englishwoman Lisa Ashton, a former world champion and one of the sport’s most respected veterans.
The final was a thrilling encounter that saw Greaves drop the opening leg before responding with three consecutive legs, establishing a 3‑1 lead. She maintained control throughout, eventually sealing the match 5‑3 with a spectacular 14‑dart leg that left the audience in awe. This win marked Greaves’s 58th Women’s Series title, a testament to her sustained excellence over multiple seasons.
After a brief intermission, Greaves turned her attention to Event 20, where she replicated the dominant form she had displayed earlier in the day. She opened the round with decisive 4‑0 victories over Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay, again refusing to drop a leg.
Her momentum continued as she defeated Louise Pearson and Rhian O’Sullivan 4‑1 each, before delivering a flawless 5‑0 performance against Angela Kirkwood to secure a spot in the semi‑finals. In the semi‑finals, Greaves faced Karolina Ratajska.
She started the match with an impressive 11‑dart leg, quickly building a comfortable lead and ultimately winning 5‑1. The final pitted her once more against Aileen de Graaf, who struggled to find her rhythm and posted a below‑par average. Greaves capitalised on every opportunity, posting an average above 91 and delivering a clean sweep, 5‑0, to claim her 59th Women’s Series title. These twin triumphs have solidified Greaves’s position at the summit of the Women’s Series rankings.
Lisa Ashton remains in second place, while former world champion Fallon Sherrock holds third. Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth, occupying the final qualifying slot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
The implications of the rankings extend beyond the series itself. The top three players in the final PDC Women’s Series standings will earn automatic qualification for the 2026/27 Paddy Power World Darts Championship, with the series champion also securing a place at the 2026 Mr Vegas Grand Slam of Darts. Greaves’s continued dominance therefore not only adds to her personal trophy cabinet but also guarantees her participation in the sport’s most prestigious events.
