Lisa Ashton claimed a shock to Betfraved Women’s World Match play after avoiding 11 -match darts to beat Fallon Sherik in the final leg thriller in Blackpool.
The fifth seed watched Ireland’s Rubin Bourne in his quarter -finals and then threw the back -to -back champion Beau Gravis in the semi -finals before coming to the thrilling match against Sherik to win the event for the first time.
Ashton opened with 85 finish in the opening leg and added 15 dart breaks to capture the initial control of a tough competition, only to provide the Sheric for 13 dart holds for a three -legged race.
The Sherik was back when Ashton pushed against the throw by firing 72 checkouts behind a hold in the sixth leg, but he won the next two legs and replied that the 11 best encounters went 5-4.
Ashton took advantage of eight Miss Darts from Sherik to throw the tenth and make the competition the last leg decisive, where it took advantage of more poor completion to seal the victory with the 2022 champion ending 64.
