Four-time ladies world champion, Lisa Ashton, has picked up her fourth Ladies Darts Organisation (LDO) Classic title following a 5-1 win over Isle of Wight’s Brenda Dyer at The Blues Club in Gainsborough last weekend.
‘The Lancashire Rose’ was never in trouble as she progressed through the early rounds, beating Wales’s Nikki Goldsmith and number eight seed, Casey Gallagher. Yorkshire’s Beau Greaves provided a sterner test in the semi-final, claiming the opening leg with a 112 checkout. However, Ashton soon re-grouped and, with an 86.79 average, came out on top four legs to two.
Earlier in the day, last year’s singles champion, Russian Anastasia Dobromyslova and partner Vicky Pruim from Sweden won the pairs title, beating the English pairing of Tricia Wright and Maria O’Brien.
“The Winmau LDO Ladies Classic is in its seventh year,” says tournament organiser and LDO founder, Julie Lambie. “We’ve renewed our sponsorship agreement with Winmau and the event, as well as the LDO, is going from strength to strength.”
“We had 71 entries this year from all over the world, including two ladies from Kazakhstan. Many of the world’s top players took part and the standard of play was outstanding”, Lambie conluded.

- 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
