BEAU Greaves joined the greats of the WDF World Championship with a third consecutive title at the Lakeside on Sunday evening. Storied names such as Eric Bristow and Trina Gulliver are among the handful to have completed the hattrick.
The Doncaster star came, saw and conquered Lakeside once again as she won her third Frimley green title.
The 20-year-old hadn’t dropped a set in this year’s tournament coming into the final with Sophie McKinlay but did in the first, the Scot pinning a 19-dart break of throw after Greaves missed four darts for the set.
Greaves soon found her flow, winning six legs on the spin to win the second and third sets and move in front.
McKinlay, who had lost the Girls’ final earlier in the day, stopped the rot by winning the first leg of set four but Greaves powered ahead with a 79 out followed by successive legs in 14 and 18 darts.
‘Beau N’ Arrow’ then wrapped up victory by taking the fourth set 3-1, producing a match-best 11-darter before sealing victory with an 89 out shot on the bull.
It was an 83.92 average in the end for Greaves, who is the youngest three-time Women’s World Champion in history.
