"We know what we can play and we can still improve. "We know we're going to push each other in the games and hopefully everybody enjoys it," she said. With the pair established as the leading women's players in darts, Ashton admits that she is relishing their duels on the Women's Series. Hopefully I can get the Grand Slam spot tomorrow."Īshton is also the front-runner to join Sherrock as a Cazoo Grand Slam of Darts Qualifier, with the top player from Events 7-12 securing their Wolverhampton place next month.
"Playing on the ProTour has helped me, it was good practice for this weekend.
"My game is lifting and I'm happy I've got back in the World Championship, but I've got another mission to do as well to get in the Grand Slam. Neither Sherrock or Ashton can now be caught on the PDC Women's Series Order of Merit in Sunday's final three events, guaranteeing them their World Championship spot. She has previously played at Alexandra Palace in the 2018//21 tournaments, losing out to Jan Dekker and Adam Hunt respectively. "I enjoy playing in the Women's Series, it's a good set-up and great money to be won and it's great practice for me."Īshton's defeat of Sherrock in the Event Eight final saw her win a fourth Women's Series event of the year, and her own run to the Event Nine decider secured her third Alexandra Palace appearance.Īshton, 51, has continued to lead the way for female players in the sport this year, becoming the first woman to average 100 in a televised match at the UK Open and enjoying her second year as a PDC Tour Card Holder. I'm really happy with how I'm playing at the moment and I'm really happy with the wins today. The Milton Keynes star won Event Seven, averaging over 100 twice in the process, was the runner-up to Ashton in Event Eight and then reversed that result to win Event Nine.
Sherrock - the Nordic Darts Masters runner-up recently - won three of the six Women's Series events in Milton Keynes last month and continued that form in Barnsley during the second block of six events with two victories on Saturday.
