Ashton on verge of fifth BDO World Championship after easing past Hammond into final
BDOFriday, 10 January 2020 at 15:43
Lisa Ashton is the first player through to the final of the Ladies BDO World Championship and is on the verge of a fifth title after defeating Corrine Hammond with ease.
Ashton did not a drop a leg en route to claiming victory over the Australian ace and increased her average once again to 84.28.
This included 1 180 and the big difference which was 33 percent on the doubles. Hammond had 7 darts at doubles but did not convert them allowing Ashton to move through with relative ease; despite 'Rinnie' increasing her average herself towards 80.
For Hammond, this will be a massive step forward after not winning a match in the event since her final defeat in 2017 and after having to come through the qualifier for the event will hope to kick on now for 2020.
Ashton's next task will either be Mikuru Suzuki or Beau Greaves as she will take on the reigning champion or the teenage sensation who many are predicting could be the victor at the end of the week, they will both have to get through 'The Lancashire Rose' though who looks in good form.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
