Fallon Sherrock will once again aim to claim her PDC Tour Card at
Q-School which starts next week in her home town of Milton Keynes.
Sherrock missed out by just two legs on a return to the Alexandra Palace with Deta Hedman joining Lisa Ashton in the line-up but this has made the 'Queen of the Palace' more determined than ever to join 'The Lancashire Rose' as the second female PDC Tour Card holder.
"It was upsetting at the time but I could either keep getting upset about it or move on from it and that's the way I'm looking at it," Sherrock said on
The Darts Show Podcast.
"I'm using it to make myself more determined. I'm not going to lose by two legs in the future, I don't want to be in that scenario again.
"Lisa winning a Tour Card last year was a great achievement. We all want to get on the ProTour, I want to join Lisa and I know I've got the game.
"I wouldn't be going to Q School if I didn't think I was capable of doing it. I feel like I'm ready for it, I'm ready to be pushed by top quality players.
"I've been practicing a lot. I'm looking forward to Q School so much, I'm looking forward to getting out of the house and playing some proper darts.
"I'm very excited. It will be a very different environment to last year, I don't know what to expect from the whole experience."
As well as missing out on the World Championship, the Covid-19 pandemic also paid heed to appearances on the World Series in particular but for Sherrock, she knows if the performances keep coming, the opportunities will follow.
"Instead of dwelling on everything that could've been, I've got to look to the future and see what I can achieve going forward.
"I'm feeling very confident in the way I'm playing. At the Women's Series I really did play some quality darts but missed out by two legs. I think I'll always remember that.
"I know that if I keep performing when I'm in the spotlight then more opportunities will come in the future."
