Aileen de Graaf lost out to Fallon Sherrock in the final of the PDC Women's World Matchplay on Sunday coming up short against the Queen of the Palace 6-3.
But it was an experience to remember for the Dutchwoman who saw off Laura Turner 4-1 before dumping out Lisa Ashton en route to defeat to Sherrock.
“It felt amazing. The audience were brilliant. It gave me goosebumps,” admitted De Graaf.
“I have loved the experience here in Blackpool. We want to play more televised tournaments and it gives us the power to perform well and play more.”
