At just 16 years old, Olivia made her women’s county debut for Lincolnshire in their opening UKDA Premiership fixture away to Dorset — and what a debut it was.
Drawn against Dorset’s Cathy Campbell, Olivia showed composure and class beyond her years to take a 3–2 victory, averaging 19.60 to Campbell’s 17.71. She started strongly, racing into a 2–0 lead and producing a superb 139 checkout along the way.
Cathy fought back to level the match at 2–2, but Olivia held her nerve in the deciding leg. Despite a shaky opening throw, she responded with scoring visits of 81, 135, 100, and 80, leaving 30, which she coolly took out in three darts to seal the win on debut.
Her performance earned her Woman of the Match for the Lincolnshire B Team, along with the highest outshot of the day (139) — also the second highest outshot of the entire match.
To cap off an incredible first appearance, Olivia’s winning debut placed her fifth in the UKDA Women’s B National Averages for the Premiership, a remarkable achievement at just 16 years of age.
Lincolnshire went on to secure an impressive 22–14 victory overall, making it a day to remember for both team and debutant.
