- Beau Greaves swept both Event 21 (5-3 over Vicky Pruim) and Event 22 (5-3 over Gemma Hayter) at Robin Park Leisure Centre on Saturday, claiming her record-extending 61st Women's Series title overall and her 15th of the 2026 campaign.
- Fallon Sherrock secured her seventh PDC World Championship appearance by finishing in the top five on the Women's Series Order of Merit, returning to Alexandra Palace — the venue where she became the first woman to win at the Palace in 2020, beating Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic.
- Gemma Hayter booked her second straight World Championship spot by reaching her third final of 2026 in Event 22; she lost on debut last year to Josh Rock but took a set in a strong performance, and also won the 2026 WDF World Masters and her first Women's World Matchplay this year.
- Greaves conceded just five legs en route to her 14th title of the campaign in Event 21, averaging north of 101 in a quarter-final whitewash of Rhian O'Sullivan before a five-leg semi-final demolition of Sherrock.
- Lisa Ashton is confirmed to finish second on the Women's Series rankings, booking her place at November's Grand Slam of Darts, but squandered multiple match darts in a 4-1 lead over Greaves in the Event 22 semi-finals before falling in a last-leg decider.
- Vicky Pruim remains in pole position for the fifth and final Alexandra Palace qualification spot, with the Women's Series season concluding with Events 23-24 in Wigan on Sunday.
Why it matters: Greaves' 15 titles in a single calendar year underline her total grip on the women's game heading into December's World Championship, where Sherrock, Hayter, Ashton and likely Pruim will join her — guaranteeing four of the women's game's biggest names back at darts' marquee stage and the deepest women's field yet at Ally Pally.
