Women’s World Matchplay 2025: Lisa Ashton beats Fallon Sherrock in thrilling final to win title

Advertisements

Lisa Ashton has won the Women’s World Matchplay in remarkable fashion after Fallon Sherrock missed 11 darts for the title in a pulsating final.

Four-time world champion Ashton, 54, came through a final-leg decider to win 6-5 at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.

But ‘The Lancashire Rose’ must have thought her chance had gone when Sherrock, leading 5-4, left herself 40 with Ashton not even on a finish.

However, Sherrock missed eight darts at double before Ashton found double 10 to force a one-leg shootout.

A stunning last leg saw Ashton hit a 180 to briefly take charge before Sherrock responded with a brilliant 165 to leave 36.

Once again the 31-year-old, who made history as the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship in December 2019, could not finish it off.

Another three match darts went begging and Ashton made her pay by hitting double top to clinch the title – and with it the £10,000 prize money, as well as places in both the Grand Slam of Darts and PDC World Championship.
