Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the Women’s Series circuit by clinching back‑to‑back titles on Sunday, adding another trophy to her impressive collection as she edged ever closer to her 60th career win. The day featured a double‑header of Events 19 and 20 at the Matiolli Arena, and after missing the previous day’s action, Greaves returned in spectacular fashion, dispatching a string of opponents with authority. The morning session began with Greaves delivering three straight white‑wash victories, comfortably beating Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim without dropping a single leg. Her flawless start set the tone for what would become a day of relentless performance.
In the quarter‑finals, Greaves faced a brief scare when she fell behind 2‑3 against Gemma Hayter. Demonstrating composure and resilience, she rallied to win three consecutive legs, turning the match around to secure a 5‑3 win and a place in the next round. In the semi‑final, Greaves faced Aileen de Graaf, a seasoned Dutch competitor. Greaves ran away with the encounter, posting a 5‑1 victory while averaging over 96 points per three darts – a figure that underscores her scoring power.
The win propelled her into the Event 19 final, where she met Kirsty Hutchinson. Once again Greaves was the stronger player, taking the match 5‑2 and booking her spot in the showcase final of the day.
The final of Event 19 was a repeat of the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final, pitting the popular duo known as “Beau ’n’ Arrow” against veteran Lisa Ashton. The contest was fiercely contested; Ashton claimed the opening leg, but Greaves responded with a rapid three‑leg streak that gave her a 3‑1 lead. She maintained the pressure, eventually sealing the match 5‑3 with a dazzling 14‑dart leg that highlighted her precision under pressure.
After a short intermission, Greaves turned her attention to Event 20. She opened this second tournament in the same dominant fashion, recording two straight 4‑0 wins over Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay.
Throughout the day she dropped only three legs in total, a testament to her consistency. In the quarter‑finals she overcame Louise Pearson 4‑1, followed by a 4‑1 triumph over Rhian O’Sullivan. Her next opponent, Angela Kirkwood, did not last long as Greaves ran out a 5‑0 white‑wash, securing her place in the semi‑finals. The semi‑final saw Greaves face Karolina Ratajska.
She started the match with an impressive 11‑dart leg, quickly establishing a lead and eventually winning 5‑1. The final against Aileen de Graaf was a repeat of the earlier showdown, but this time Greaves was even more commanding.
She posted an average above 91, delivered a flawless performance, and white‑washed de Graaf 5‑0 to claim her 59th Women’s Series title. Greaves’ string of victories has solidified her position at the summit of the Women’s Series rankings. Behind her, Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock hold the second and third spots respectively, while Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth place, occupying the final qualification slot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
