Lloyd believes Ashton and Hedman can be a threat at World Championship: "They are going to be very dangerous"

Lisa Ashton and Deta Hedman could be a real threat according to Colin Lloyd ahead of the PDC World Darts Championship starting in just over a week.

Ashton and Hedman qualified through the Women's Series and speaking before the draw was made, 'Jaws' said that they can be 'very dangerous' as they've been there and done it.

"Lisa and Deta have played on the big stage so I don't think they will be expecting anything they haven't seen before," Lloyd said to Sky Sports.

"They have played in the biggest ladies events in the world and Lisa has had the class to be able to play in a good few of the men's events now.

"Playing in front of a crowd, playing in front of the cameras that certainly won't daunt them, they have miles of experience behind them and I think they will want to play well and play the way they know they can.

"Having done the hard work to get there at the Women's Series they won't be put off about who they play and it will be interesting to see who they draw, because if Deta and Lisa play how they can they are going to be very, very dangerous."
