PDC Women's Series Event 17 and 18 Round-Up | Fallon Sherrock denies Lisa Ashton in Event 18 final with dominant 5-0 thrashing
PDC
The PDC Women's Series continues on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester in what is a pivotal weekend for PDC World Darts Championship hopes as the top names continue to battle over the final few weekends.

The top three qualify for the World Championship and the winner also seals a Grand Slam of Darts spot, but there are multiple caveats to this as Beau Greaves likely has played her final Women's Series darts. Beau n Arrow could've played this weekend but has decided not to with ProTours to start next week.
She is about to reach the top 64 likely before the next double header so in reality like Sebastian Bialecki on the Development Tour, she won't play anymore on the Women's Series ending her period of dominance. But given that she also will qualify likely ten fold for Ally Pally through other routes it opens the door to others finding their way in.
How is it all placed for Ally Pally?
Lisa Ashton currently is next best placed and very much likely to seal a spot at Ally Pally currently as the defacto leader now that Greaves will depart. While Fallon Sherrock though is less clean cut as there is jeopardy surrounding her spot. The Queen of the Palace is less secure in her position and as a result will face battles from those behind her.
Vicky Pruim has been a surprise standout in recent events and is just behind albeit she has faced a brutal draw to start Saturday in Leicester with Gemma Hayter in Round One who is her nearest competitor aiming herself to seal a return to Ally Pally.
Then there are others including Deta Hedman just behind albeit Hedman is more likely to go down the Greaves route of old and not play Ally Pally if she seals a spot as the defending WDF World Champion at Lakeside. But she is also still in the reckoning too

Ashton, Sherrock, Hayter and Hedman all headline with two events over Saturday and more to come on Sunday.
Sherrock shines to close the day
Lisa Ashton came within one match of going back to back on Saturday, but the former women's world champion just ran out of steam somewhat in the final, averaging just 61 as Fallon Sherrock claimed the title via a dominant and comprehensive 5-0 whitewash to take the title.
Notable performances from elsewhere include semi-final runs from Gemma Hayter and Karolina Ratajska, plus impressive runs from the likes of Trina Gulliver and Kirsty Hutchinson.

Lisa Ashton thrives in Greaves' absence
Lisa Ashton has taken the title at Event 17, beating Lauryn Salter 5-0 in the final. Ashton had earlier seen off the challenges of the likes of Gemma Hayter (5-4), Grace Ferridge (5-1) and Lauren Hall (4-1) in the earlier rounds.
Salter meanwhile had beaten Jade Gofford in the semi-finals 5-4, after wins over the likes of Emma Pearce (5-2) and Italian prospect Aurora Fochesato (4-1).
Notably, Fallon Sherrock fell in the last 16 to Aileen De Graaf having earlier hit a tournament high 94.34 average in a last 32 win over the wife of Krzyzstof Ratajski, Karolina Ratajska.

- Everyone knows what a fantastic champion Taylor was,but his performances in the seniors were poor. He wouldn't throw littler off stage,as he'd miss these days!!rick6712-11-2026
- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026
- So what if littler missed out, he doesnt have to enter everythingant10-11-2026
- Good, absolutely no loss if we never see this dancing goof ever again......no that is not fair. He absolutely cannot and has never been remotely able to dance!richieburnettrocks10-11-2026
- Yes Phil,now the money in the game is bigger than ever,you'd play littler. Well so would I! Retire on your memory Phil,and your successful careerrick6709-11-2026
- And why should he listen to you?Deduce635807-11-2026
- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
