Double joy for Carlow's Allen at WDF event in Hungary

Carlow's Rebecca Allen has won the WDF World Masters Girls title in Hungary.

The 16-year-old beat England's Ruby Grey 5-3 in the final at the Gerevich Aladar National Sports Hall in Budapest.

Allen won all three pool games without dropping a leg and impressed in four knockout wins to get to the decider.

She becomes the third Irish player to win the title after Robyn Byrne in 2014 and Katie Sheldon in 2019.

Allen also picked up the Girls World Open crown on Friday, beating defending champion Paige Pauling in the final.

Elsewhere, WDF world champion Shane McGuirk from Monaghan just missed out on a spot at the PDC World Championships in Alexandra Palace after losing in the UK and Ireland qualifier final.
