"I just wish that bullseye for the big fish would have gone in!" - Fallon Sherrock denied dream Luke Littler tie at World Darts Championship
PDC
The wait goes on for Fallon Sherrock in her quest to replicate the heroics of 2020 PDC World Darts Championship. On Tuesday night, Sherrock fell to her fourth successive defeat on the Ally Pally stage, losing out 3-2 to Ryan Meikle.
There was a lot of clamour mainly from the tabloid media and broadcasters surrounding a potential Luke Littler v Fallon Sherrock clash when the PDC World Darts Championship draw was made. But it will instead be Meikle facing the favourite for the title on Saturday. Sherrock nearly gave the fans a reason to dream. She opened with the first set and looked superb as Meikle flattered to deceive. But his game got better and Sherrock's didn't which, in the end, proved pivotal. Now it will be Meikle who has already toppled one player highly favoured by the crowd who will have to do so again.

"It just wasn't to be my night in the end," Sherrock reflected in a post on her official social media pages immediately following her defeat on the big stage, making a special mention to the narrowly missed 170 checkout, that could have dramatically sent the match to a deciding leg. "Congratulations to Ryan, I just wish that bullseye for the big fish would have gone in!"
Rather than getting too downhearted though, 'The Queen of the Palace' is already looking forward to her next goals. "I'll be back in 2025 and I'll be looking for more success on the PDC Women's Series, and to make the Grand Slam and World Championship again," she says determinedly. "Thanks as always for your support, it's been incredible."
Notably, the second round tie between Meikle and Littler takes place in the evening session of Saturday, December 21st.

- Even the wild crowd went easy on him... we really have gone soft in this country. He should now play in the men's events and try and recover a smidgen of respect, rather than take advantage of the women's game.MrYnyslas197118-12-2024

- We don't need the Saudi's money and prohibitive laws. Simply take the World's to other countries like Germany, Holland, Scotland, Poland, Belgium. Not only will you get sell out crowds with bigger venues but it will also freshen up the comp a bit. Let's face it Ally Pally is getting a bit boring now. Imagine 10,000 in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels etc.medinabello15-12-2024
- Am probably going to be in a small minority, i would not miss the walk ons, best part used to be the lovely ladies which obviously now makes me a misogynist. Its all part of the razzamatazz show business side and its not that long so not something that winds me up however some of the walk on choices are abysmal while some work, MVG and Seven Nation Army being an example. Dimi the Dancer is / was just awful and Peter Wrights is old hat now.Mysstree14-12-2024
