Beau Greaves came to Lakeside this week with the express intention of retaining her title and she did exactly that, beating Aileen de Graaf 4-1 in the final of the 2023 CT1 WDF Lakeside Women’s World Championship.
The 19-year-old had dropped just two legs throughout the tournament coming into the final and that tally had only gone up to three by the time of the first break, with Greaves taking the first set 3-1 and then sealing the second 3-0 in 47 darts.
De Graaf provided more resistance in the third set, going 2-1 up with finishes of 76 and 56, only for Greaves to then go out in 15 and 19 darts to move 3-0 up and within three legs of the title.
That resistance went a bit further in the fourth set as De Graaf took it 3-1, winning three legs on the spin to force the match beyond the second break.
Greaves turned it up after the second break though, winning the fifth set 3-0 in 48 darts to complete a 4-1 victory with an 84.64 average.
