Beau Greaves sealed victory over Noa-Lynn van Leuven in the last Women's Series of the weekend to leave Niedernhausen with two titles and also revenge from Event 15 in the process.

Greaves was nearly well beaten but pulled it back to a decider albeit before Van Leuven then took the title. In the next event, it was Beau's time and she lauded the Dutchwoman for bringing the best out of her.
"It feels really good. Obviously losing to Noa in the first one was disappointing. But she played really well and I'm just happy to get to the double first I suppose. It was nip and tuck but happy to win two comps out of four," said Greaves.
"I know when I'm playing Noa it's going to be really tough and just mentally I just tried to be positive and after my semi-final, I didn't play well at all. I struggled a bit but I seem to have a form of consistency in that final and just happy to put her under pressure when I needed to. Just really happy. I hit the right shots at the right times. I didn't play necessarily amazing all the way though or even this afternoon but I dug deep when I needed to.
"Me and Noa know each other really well and when you play those sorts of players, you relax to a point. But you also have that competitive edge against them. I don't mind playing Noa, so good. Everytime when I was returning back I was hearing the noise it was treble 20 every time. I think she let me off a bit. Her average was a lot higher than mine. It's just the right shots at the right time, I didn't have the right timing earlier. I feel relieved if anything to be honest."

- What a nice comment by Wade. Top bloke.BandB15-09-2026
- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
