Hedman defeats De Graaf in final to win second event on PDC Women's Series
PDC
Deta Hedman won the second event of the PDC Women's Series on Saturday evening after seeing off Aileen de Graaf in a leg-decider.
The 60-year-old defeated the likes of Anastasia Dobromyslova (4-2) and Fallon Sherrock (5-1) to book her place in the final. De Graaf beat Lorraine Winstanley in the semi-finals, before she took a 5-3 lead in the final. However Hedman won three legs on the spin to take the title.
Top favourite Lisa Ashton lost earlier in the last 32 against Corrine Hammond, who lost to Vicky Pruim in the Last 16. Ashton became the winner of the first PDC Women's Series event on Saturday.
This two-day event consists of four tournaments. Players can earn prize money with their results, which count towards the Women's Series Order of Merit. The top two ladies after four events receive an invite for the PDC World Darts Championship.

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
