- First up: total respect to Alan Soutar for showing up and winning matches the day after running the London Marathon. Proper boss behaviour. Now some Beau stats: She has now beaten five axtive PDC world champions competitively, just needing Humphries and MVG for the full set. Ranked above 50 Tour Card Holders, 18 of whom had a year's head start. Her 2026 ProTour record is 24-10, beating Lisa Ashton's 23 wins. On last year's tables she is two match wins away from qualifying for both the PC Finals and the Worlds. Top of the ProTour qualifying list for the Worlds and the Grand Prix is in reach. All in all, pretty incredible!Scoobedybop28-04-2026

- The PDC has just made it very clear that it believes that men have inherent advantages that make it unfair for anyone born as a man to compete with females. Doesn't that mean that Wayne's good intentions give false hope to all those poor weak inadequate girls, and who's going to tell Beau that she is biologically incapable of competing as an equal?Scoobedybop26-04-2026
