Lisa Ashton and Fallon Sherrock have dominated proceedings in recent years in the PDC Women's Series but despite that being the case, Laura Turner who played in the events sees the standard increasing and with that, a new crop of talent coming through.
"Overall, it was great," she said to Sky Sports. "We saw some new faces, but it was dominated - as expected - by Lisa and Fallon in terms of actual tournament wins.
"I think the potential is there, but we know Lisa and Fallon are the top two performing players over the last couple of years," she said.
"This is something the women have asked for for quite some time so to see them come out in their numbers, it's the opportunity the PDC can offer."
"To have it on this professional level with the well-oiled machine the PDC is, you've got people like my daughters who sit at home and watch sport. They're going to see that and say 'I want to do that'.
"That's where you want to build up more numbers and standards will then grow. The sport in itself will grow and become more popular than it already is.
"It may sound very ambitious from where we are at the moment but I think moving forward over the next several years, we may see the next generation of players coming through."
