Fallon Sherrock

She made history back in 2019 and will be hoping for more of the same this year.

Days later she became the first woman to win two successive matches at the championship, reaching the third round after beating Mensur Suljović. She led Michael van Gerwen 6-3 in the final before losing 11–7. On completing her A-levels she decided to turn down a place at university to study forensic science, opting instead to become a professional darts player.

QUEEN OF the Palace Fallon Sherrock was abdicated last night as she rued missed doubles against a guy dressed up as SANTA CLAUS.This time were was no.

Once I got on the dartboard, I think I was too serious. I have to do my job. “I think the boos were from my dad. “At the end of the day, it’s stuff that I can take back and use as a learning curve. I’m so happy to win. I’m chuffed to bits.

Fallon Sherrock was left to rue a number of missed chances as she lost to Ricky Evans in the first round of the PDC World Darts Championship.

Where Rapid Ricky was in too much of a rush, Sherrock – unhurried, steady and rock-solid - took the opening set 3-1, outgunning her No 42-ranked opponent both in scoring and on the outer ring.

I am so happy because I have got nothing to lose now because that is the hardest game of darts you can ever play."
