The final Women's Series weekend before the Women's World Matchplay delivered plenty of drama, with four events taking place and several players strengthening their claims ahead of Blackpool.
Women's Series Event 13
The weekend began with another reminder of Beau Greaves' dominance.
Greaves stormed to the title, defeating Vicky Pruim 5-0 in the final. Pruim's run to the final continued what has been an excellent season for the Dutch star, but Greaves proved too strong on the day.
For Greaves, it was another title added to an already remarkable campaign and further evidence that she remains the player everyone is trying to catch.
Women's Series Event 14
Event 14 produced a different finalist but the same winner.
This time Greaves defeated Karolina Ratajska 5-1 in the final to secure her second title of the weekend.
Ratajska deserves plenty of credit for reaching the final and continued to show signs that she can compete with the very best players on the Women's Series circuit.
However, once again Greaves was simply too strong when it mattered most.
Women's Series Event 15
Lisa Ashton reminded everyone exactly why she remains one of the biggest names in women's darts.
After reaching the final, Ashton produced one of the performances of the weekend to defeat Beau Greaves 5-1 and deny her a clean sweep of titles.
It was a huge statement from the four-time Lakeside champion and showed she remains a genuine contender for any major title.
For Greaves, it was her first final defeat of the weekend, but another deep run added valuable prize money to her tally.
Women's Series Event 16
The final event of the weekend produced the biggest story.
Eleanor Cairns captured her first Women's Series title after defeating Angela Kirkwood 5-4 in a thrilling final.
Both players enjoyed outstanding runs to reach the final, and the match could hardly have been closer.
Cairns' victory was one of the breakthrough moments of the season, while Kirkwood's run to the final showed she is becoming an increasingly dangerous competitor on the Women's Series circuit.
Vicky Pruim also impressed once again, reaching the semi-finals to cap off another excellent weekend.
