Natalie Gilbert has won the final tournament of the PDC Women's Series. The 40-year-old Englishwoman was too strong for Lorraine Winstanley in the final, 5-3.
Gilbert is only the tenth player to succeed in winning a Women's Series tournament. "I'm lost for words," an emotional Gilbert said following her victory in the final. "It's an amazing feeling. I'm still shaking, I just can't believe it. I'm so proud of myself. I've had some battles with myself within the game for so long so to finally perform as I can is an amazing feeling."
Gilbert darting story is a unique one as she explains. "My darting journey started after a stroke, having been wheelchair bound. I play darts to help with my balance, never in a million years did I think I'd be here and competing in events like this let alone winning," she says. "It's nice to feel you can compete and be in and amongst them. I hope it can continue!"
"I'm going on holiday tomorrow. So when I get over that relax I'll be back on the practice board. Can't let the momentum drop so it's full steam ahead."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
