Beau Greaves Secures Consecutive Women's Series Victories

Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the PDC Women’s Series circuit on Sunday, clinching back‑to‑back titles by overcoming both Lisa Ashton and Aileen de Graaf. The double‑header, comprising Events 19 and 20, was staged at the Matioli Arena and marked Greaves’ return to form after she missed the previous day’s action.

The morning session of Event 19 saw the 22‑year‑old launch an impressive streak of three straight whitewash wins. She dispatched Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim without dropping a single leg, signalling that she was in peak condition and ready to chase her 60th career title on the Women’s Series. After a brief pause for a technical note reminding viewers to use Chrome for optimal video playback, Greaves faced Gemma Hayter in a tightly contested quarter‑final. Falling behind 2‑3, Greaves rallied with composure, winning the next two legs to take the match 5‑2 and secure her place in the semi‑finals.

In the semi‑final, Greaves displayed her scoring prowess by overwhelming Aileen de Graaf 5‑1 while maintaining an average exceeding 96 points per dart. Her momentum continued into the Event 19 final, where she met Kirsty Hutchinson. Greaves again proved too strong, cruising to a 5‑2 victory and adding another trophy to her growing collection.

The evening session featured a highly anticipated rematch of the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final, pitting the popular duo “Beau ‘n’ Arrow” against veteran Lisa Ashton. This time, Greaves emerged as the victor, edging Ashton 5‑3. Although she lost the opening leg, she quickly responded with three consecutive legs, establishing a two‑leg lead. The climax came when Greaves sealed the match with a flawless 14‑dart leg, a display of precision that delighted the crowd.

Following the triumph in Event 19, Greaves turned her attention to Event 20, where she replicated her earlier success. She opened the day by beating Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay 4‑0 each, demonstrating that her earlier form was no fluke. Throughout the tournament she dropped only three legs in total, a testament to her consistency and mental fortitude. In the quarter‑finals of Event 20, Greaves dispatched Louise Pearson and Rhian O’Sullivan with identical 4‑1 scores before delivering a decisive 5‑0 rout of Angela Kirkwood.

This set the stage for a semi‑final clash with Karolina Ratajska, which Greaves won convincingly 5‑1, highlighted by an immaculate 11‑dart leg that underscored her high scoring capability. The final pitted Greaves against Aileen de Graaf once more.

De Graaf’s performance fell short of her usual standards, and Greaves capitalised fully, posting an average north of 91 and whitewashing the Dutch competitor 5‑0. The victory marked Greaves’ 59th Women’s Series title and reinforced her position at the summit of the series rankings.

Current standings show Greaves firmly in first place, with Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock occupying the second and third slots respectively. Gemma Hayter trails closely in fourth, securing the final qualifying berth for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
