19-year-old Beau Greaves has a firm grip on women's darts. She is stringing together successes and is proving almost unbeatable for her competitors.
Greaves, nicknamed "Beau 'n Arrow," won 11 of 16 tournaments on the PDC Women's Series this season and was also the best at the Women's World Matchplay in Blackpool last month.
"I played all year to get there and I was so happy to come out the winner. Hopefully next year I will play better and retain it." said the Doncaster-based player in an interview with ITV.
In the past 12 months, Greaves has won 16 of 21 tournaments. In fact, from August 2022 to February 2023, she was undefeated seventy matches in a row.

"When I got to the end of the winning streak I was ready for it to end. It was brilliant while it was going, I was playing well but it comes to a point where it has to end and it ended at a good time and I am looking now to hopefully doing it again."
Despite her tremendous success, Greaves admits that she rarely practices and prefers to hone her skills by playing real matches. "The past nine years have been the best times of my life. I am so lucky. I have travelled places and played some really good darts. I am lucky to be able to do all this so young," she says. "When I was younger I used to practice a lot but now I am lucky if I do 10 minutes a day."
Later this year, Greaves may compete against men at the Grand Slam of Darts and the World Darts Championship. ''Not my favourite thing,'' she says of the fact that she will be playing against men there but she would “love to see” women emerge victorious from such matches.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
