Beau Greaves continued her dominant run on the Women’s Series circuit on Sunday, overcoming both Lisa Ashton and Aileen de Graaf to edge closer to her 60th title. The day featured a double‑header of Events 19 and 20 at the Matiolli Arena, marking Greaves’ return to winning form after she missed the previous day’s action. The morning session began with Greaves dispatching three opponents without dropping a single leg.
She produced clean 4–0 victories over Jane Hawtin, Sue Lowther and Vicky Pruim, each match a textbook example of precision and composure. Her flawless start set the tone for what would become a marathon of high‑quality darts.
In the quarter‑finals of Event 19, Greaves faced Gemma Hayter. After falling behind 2–3, the 22‑year‑old rallied spectacularly, winning three consecutive legs to turn the match around and secure a 5–4 win. The comeback demonstrated her mental resilience and her ability to thrive under pressure.
The semi‑final saw Greaves take on Dutch veteran Aileen de Graaf. Greaves ran away with the encounter, posting a 5–1 scoreline while averaging over 96 points per three darts – a figure that underscores her scoring power.
Her next opponent, Kirsty Hutchinson, proved a tougher test, but Greaves still prevailed 5–2, booking her place in the Event 19 final. The final was a repeat of the 2025 Women’s World Matchplay semi‑final, pitting the popular duo "Beau 'n' Arrow" against Lisa Ashton. Greaves started slowly, losing the opening leg, but she quickly responded with three straight legs, establishing a two‑leg lead.
She then sealed the match with a spectacular 14‑dart leg, defeating Ashton 5–3 and claiming her 58th Women’s Series title. After the triumph in Event 19, Greaves turned her attention to Event 20 later the same day.
She began in the same fashion, delivering back‑to‑back 4–0 victories over Leanne Halls and Felicia Bay. Throughout the tournament she dropped only three legs in total, a testament to her consistency. In the quarter‑finals of Event 20, Greaves beat Louise Pearson 4–1 and then overcame Rhian O’Sullivan by the same scoreline. Her momentum continued into the semi‑final, where she dispatched Angela Kirkwood 5–0, securing a spot in the final four.
The final of Event 20 featured Greaves against Karolina Ratajska. Greaves opened the match with an impressive 11‑dart leg and maintained control, ultimately winning 5–1.
De Graaf, who had been in the final, struggled to find her rhythm, allowing Greaves to cruise to a whitewash and claim her 59th Women’s Series title with an average above 91. Greaves’ position atop the Women’s Series rankings remains unchallenged.
Lisa Ashton holds second place, followed by the ever‑consistent Fallon Sherrock in third. Gemma Hayter sits just behind them in fourth, occupying the final automatic qualification slot for the 2026/27 World Darts Championship.
