A sub-par Lisa Ashton battled into the semi-finals at the Lakeside. Three-time world champion Ashton averaged just 73 and had a doubles success rate of 29 per cent. But that was enough to defeat Fallon Sherrock 2-0.
The Lancashire Rose needed just one break of throw to round off the first set. Ashton visited the madhouse in the fourth leg, but struck double one to go 1-0 up. Sherrock was hamstrung by her 18 per cent success rate on the doubles, and Ashton took advantage.
The second set was a much closer affair. Ashton twice hit the wrong double trying to seal the win in the fifth set. But Sherrock could not take her chance, missing double ten for a 78 checkout. The Lancashire Rose finally rounded off victory against the woman she beat in the 2015 final.
The defending champion has not dropped a single set since 2016. She will take on Deta Hedman in a massive semi-final next.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
