"Everything I seem to do is a first in the PDC so why not that one": Sherrock sets sights on World Championship after history-making nine-darter
PDC
Fallon Sherrock returned to the MODUS Super Series this week after a whirlwind weekend which saw 'The Queen of the Palace' hit a first nine-darter by a woman in the PDC and also become one of only a select few to play on the ProTour.

"I went the traditional route. I went with the double 12 at the end. When I hit it, I don't think I realised what I'd done until actually walking up to the board and talking the dart out. I was like I just hit a nine-darter. I always had this imagination in my head that if I did hit a nine-darter because I've been so close so many times that I'd celebrate but I didn't," said Sherrock to MODUS Super Series.
"I literally just took my darts out. My opponent fist bumped me and I just turned back round and kept on playing."

Media attention
As ever, Sherrock garnered attention with many media outlets who don't pay attention to darts in depth usually writing about the achievement.
"I'm quite happy that it did get the attention because it meant that the World still likes the idea of a woman being a part of a darts. It's not just me now, you've got Lisa and Beau. Next time they do something special, hopefully they get the audience to it as well. I'm just so happy that it went a bit mad again."
Now Sherrock wants to do it again and having completed the feat on the Challenge Tour wants to take it onto the stage.
"I've done it once now so I'm sure I'll be able to do it again. At the Grand Slam, I got close so here's to say I can't do it here or next time I'm on TV."

Staying over with her boyfriend Cameron Menzies proved to be a stroke of luck as Sherrock was called up as a late replacement for the ProTour on the Monday.
"I think it was a bit of luck because where I was there with Cammy, I decided to stay over. I literally got a phone call at 11 saying put your shirt on and get your darts, you're playing so I was rushing about, getting to the venue, trying to prepare. I'm a bit disappointed with how I played but at the same time I was rushing about, I didn't prepare how I normally would."
But next in her history making aims is the biggest of them all and she admits given her trajectory, it isn't out the realms of possibility.
"I do want to win a World title, that is something I want to do before I finish playing darts. If I do a lucky run or start playing well who knows, the PDC World Championship might be my first World title because everything I seem to do is a first in the PDC so why not that one."

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
- She is a professional. If darts is her income, she is a professional. Same as Adrian Lewis, Martin Adams. A tour card just means someone can play on the PDC tour. You could even make a case that Clayton wasn't a professional (until recently I believe) because he had employment elsewhere.BandB04-11-2026
- She's technically not a professional though as she doesn't hold a pro tour card.mr-pablo04-11-2026
