Fallon Sherrock was unlucky with her draw on the opening day with Jason Hogg, the former World Championship qualifier accounting for her in a last leg decider.
But Sherrock has opened her 2022 PDC UK Q-School account as she looks to win outright today or bank points to go towards the Final Stage.
The Milton Keynes ace did it in style too hitting a 124 checkout after previously busting her score for a 5-1 win with it finishing 5-2 in the end.
Can she go all the way today and go one step closer to a Tour Card?
She was not unlucky with the draw, she was not good enough on day one and she was not good enough on day 2 either. She has one more chance tomorrow to see if she is good enough. It is an entirely different thing to have to earn qualification against all of the other very good players outside the full tour, rather than get exemptions and invites or easy qualification against female dart players to prime TV events. This while having the crowd booing and whistling on the double atempts by her opponents to give her a huge advantage. There are a lot of very good players out there who are better than she ever will be but they do not get the breaks that she gets as they are seemingly the wrong sex. What was very disappointing was that the PDC gave the top 8 females in the WDF or whatever they call it now, a free invite to PDC Q school and only Sherrock, Hedman, Hammond and Gulliver took up the offer. Do these females really want to improve their games? if so then why are they not seizing these chances with both hands. Lisa Ashton was already into the 2nd stage as she Earned a tour card 2 years ago. She has learned how tough it is on the full tour after her 2 seasons there, I wish her luck again this time around as her experiences over the last 2 years will hold her in good stead.
