Lisa Ashton has argued that her and fellow trailblazer Fallon Sherrock deserve more respect for their achievements in darts.
This month, the two female stars will taker their place at the Alexandra Palace for the PDC World Championship alongside teenage sensation Beau Greaves. Whilst Ashton and Greaves cemented their places via the PDC Women's Series, Sherrock's inclusion has been the subject of furore.
'The Queen of the Palace', who embarked on an epic run to the third round in 2019, was handed a spot because of her Women's World Matchplay win. The controversy has led to Sky pundit Wayne Mardle appealing to crowds not to boo the star at this year's tournament.
