The Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship 2015 was held from 3-10 January. Lisa Ashton from England would defend her title successfully in a stunning finale in which she beats her compatriot Fallon Sherrock.
Ashton has a very difficult route to the final. In the first round she is up against the first ranked lady Deta Hedman. In the next round she faces nine times world champion Trina Gulliver. Her opponent in the semi-finals is Sharon Prins from the Netherlands.
Fallon Sherrock reached the final after victories over Maria Mason, Aileen de Graaf and Anastasia Dobromyslova. In the second round Ashton throws an average of above 90, for only the fourth time in history that a lady succeeds in doing this. The other three times it was Trina Gulliver who did this. Gulliver was the opponent of Ashton in that match.
