Beau Greaves continues her impressive form winning the England Open in Devon over the past weekend. Defeating Rhian O’Sullivan in the final, she continues to be the stand-out player in the WDF as she heads towards the final Women’s Series and Women’s World Matchplay in the PDC.
Whilst Neil Duff took the men's title by defeating the likes of Daniel Perry (4-1), Kieron Bridgwater (4-3), Mark Graham (5-1) and Callum Francis (6-3). For the 2022 WDF World champion, it was his first WDF title in 2024 and his sixth in total. It breaks a drought of 19 months in the process with both Duff and Greaves winning the World title in the same year.
Greaves lost just one leg in the entire tournament. After wins over Tania Burdett (4-0) and Dee Bateman (4-0), Natalie Gilbert managed to snatch one leg from Greaves (4-1) in the quarter-finals. The 20-year-old then left no stone unturned against Rebecca Brouse (5-0) and Rhian O'Sullivan (6-0).
