Lisa Ashton heads into the inaugural PDC Women's World Matchplay taking place on July 24 as top seed and the favourite alongside Fallon Sherrock to lift the title at the Winter Gardens.
Ashton keeps producing exceptional displays winning a Women's Series title everyday they have been played in a remarkable stat pointed out during her post final interview and 'The Lancashire Rose' at 51 says it's a message that no matter what age is not a barrier.
"I'm so happy, all I keep doing is just saying to myself all I can do is try my best but I'm happy, I'll keep going. Can't ask for anything better," said Ashton after the final.
"I'm showing there's no age. I know I'm one of the older ones, everybody needs to keep going and hopefully I'm showing everybody don't give in even at my age, anything is possible."
"I'm hoping I can go as long as I can, it's great for the youth coming through and I'm just happy I keep pushing everyone as much as I can."

"It's another tick in the box, it's opportunity. It's in Lancashire. I've always wanted to play at the Winter Gardens. It's going to be absolutely amazing. I just can't wait to get there now!"

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
