She had a shot to win at the end but couldn't covert her double and lost 5-4.

This was their second match in international play with JoAnn winning against Sandy at the 2014 America's Cup. This time Sandy ended on top with a hard fought 3-2 victory. Sue Edwards was next up and the talented English player defeated Sandy in a match that she struggled with her doubles.
Thursday brought the main event, the Winmau World Masters and and a hall filled with world class players. It's hard to get more world class than the most successful player in the history of women's darts, Trina Guliver, MBE. The 9 time World Champion is Sandy's fellow Winmau sponsored player. They both got off to a shaky start and both missed a lot of doubles, Sandy even busted a 140 and the match ended with both players shooting at double one, Trina would win at take a 1-0 lead . At that point both players heated up and threw some impressive darts and the match went down to the deciding leg with Trina earning a 4-3 victory.
