Women’s World Matchplay: Beau Greaves proves too good for Fallon Sherrock to retain title in Blackpool | Darts News


Beau Greaves retained the Women’s World Matchplay title with a 6-3 victory over great rival Fallon Sherrock in the final at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.

Greaves produced a spectacular performance to defeat Sherrock, averaging almost 99 against the former Grand Slam of Darts quarter-finalist.

‘Beau ‘n’ Arrow’ crashed in four 180s and pinned 60 per cent of her attempts at double to underline her dominance of the women’s game.

The 20-year-old has shattered a host of records on the PDC Women’s Series circuit during the last two years, and she reaffirmed her credentials at the Empress Ballroom.
