Ashton annoyed after first round defeat: 'I had chances and I didn't take them'

Lisa Ashton lost out in the first round of the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship with defeat to Adam Hunt in a last leg thriller.
Ashton spoke afterwards and was 'annoyed' with her first round defeat but after her maiden year on the PDC ProTour, she hopes to come back stronger.
"I’m so annoyed with myself. I had chances and I didn’t take them, but well done to Adam and good luck to him," said four-time BDO Women's Champion Ashton.
"I was thinking about last time I played here when I went a set up against Jan Dekker, I was trying to put right what I did wrong on that night but it just wasn’t meant to be.
"I’m learning all the time against the best players in the world. I will learn from it and hopefully I’ll be back next year and I can get over the winning line."
'The Lancashire Rose' revealed before her tie that her husband, Derek suffered a heart attack before her Women's Series triumph which she admitted she has tried to separate from her darts.
"My preparation wasn’t bad, despite what’s been going on in my personal life. I’ve tried my best to keep the two separate.
"I’m quite happy with my first year in the PDC. I’ve taken some scalps along the way and hopefully next year I can progress further.
"I’ve improved my game a lot but I’m still learning. My challenge now is to take these lessons and make myself a better player for it."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
