DartConnect is showing a 9-Darter for Joey Palfreyman in the Welsh Classic, not seen it confirmed elsewhere.

Not seeing any 9ers in the “Professional” side of the game today. Interesting.

[Black Velvet]

Nor any averages topping 118, unlike at the WDF Welsh Classic.

Beau Greaves has been outstanding this weekend - won the Ladies Pairs with Deta, losing 2 legs in 6 matches; won the Mixed Pairs with Tay Greaves, she averaged 113 in the final, and scored 4 180s in 8 scoring visits to the oche; is in the final of the Classic having lost 1 leg in 5 matches; and is in the final of the Open, with 2 ton-plus averages, including 113.43 in the semi final against Lisa Ashton.

I'm not sure what her limit is to be honest!

[Smithy1412]

She needs to play over longer formats more to prove her true worth... Even Mick Mcgowan has averaged 130 over a short format game. She should go to Q school in 2024.

She won a World Championship over longer formats, averaging over 90 in the final, so she can do it. Anyway, she won 4 out of 4 this weekend, albeit her dartitis made an unwelcome appearance in the final of the Welsh Open.

Don’t feed the troll.
