“I hope I've done women's darts proud, put women's darts on the map and given it the recognition that it deserves.”

“My son is always up early.”

“I think I'm a person who just makes things better.”

“I focus on each leg and not what the score is.”

“You always get the odd comment, along the lines of the women are not as good as the men, and I get called a lesbian.”

“The sport has come on - we do not just play in pubs any more and there are massive international competitions.”

“When you play with the men, you know they don't give up.”

“When I was 15, I used to go with my sister to her youth games because she was really good.”

“I'm quite proud that I've inspired so many people.”

“The more the women beat the men hopefully that will bring up more opportunities for us and then the possibilities are endless as to what can happen.”

“I've made history, I've just beaten one man, who's to say I can't beat more?”

“I definitely think I can use the crowd to my advantage.”

“Whatever happens in women's darts in the future I will be able to think I helped to achieve it.”

“I could be two sets, two legs down but I wouldn't think that. I take each leg as it comes.”

“I've got good family support.”

“I don't see myself at a physical disadvantage.”

“I'm not going to dwell on what someone has said if it doesn't affect my life. I think that attitude helps to strengthen my character.”

“Every time I play darts I try to keep my poker face on and stay focused until that last dart has gone in.”

“I don't take any notice of negative stuff said on social media. If anything it spurs me on more.”

“There are women who can play at my standard, if not better, and they can beat men, too, so it would be nice to see them do it as well.”
