Irish darts prospect Becca Allen is setting her sights on the next stage of her career after capturing the Junior Darts corporation Girls Series title in Blackpool.

The 17-year-old from Laois defeated England's Macy Gibbons in a deciding leg to claim the prestigious junior crown on the famous Winter Gardens stage, producing a series of clinical finishes to secure victory.
