Lisa Ashton won three out of four PDC Women's Series events in Barnsley at the weekend; Fallon Sherrock collected the other title.
Ashton, who became the first woman to win a PDC Tour card, defeated the 'Queen of the Palace' in a last-leg decider 5-4 en route to winning Event Four at the Barnsley Metrodome.
'The Lancashire Rose' had started the weekend by winning Event One via a comfortable 5-2 victory over Wales' Rhian Griffiths. Sherrock suffered a shock quarter-final defeat to Lorraine Winstanley.
Sherrock gained revenge over Winstanley in Event Two, but she was eventually beaten in a high-quality semi-final encounter with Ashton. Ashton landed a superb 'Big Fish' during the 5-4 victory. The Bolton thrower then beat Ireland's Robyn Byrne 5-3 with an 80.14 average in the final.
During Event Three, Sherrock reeled off four legs in a row to seal a comeback victory against Joanne Locke and secure the title.
