Sealing the inaugural PDC Women's World Matchplay, the potential for the Women's World Championship has also been mooted on the PDC side but Fallon Sherrock believes that there is still a way to go yet before that happens and that the gap at the top needs to close.

"I think there are a few boundaries which need to be crossed first," Sherrock, the first female player to beat a man at the PDC World Championship, said. "We've just got eight women now and there are a few others, but there is still a massive gap.

"I think we need the women's series to carry on and give the other women more confidence and more professional play. Then, hopefully, in a couple of years, we might be looking at that, but I genuinely think it isn't far off.

"We just need to boost all of the other women with confidence because I think that's what they're lacking.

"It would be really good [to see it at Alexandra Palace] and it would be a good opportunity for the women because it showcases what we can do. We can do it; we just need more opportunities to do it and to get the confidence."

One player who could close that gap is WDF World Champion, Beau Greaves who at 18 sealed the title in dominant fashion and she is a player who Sherrock hopes makes the move over.

"Beau is quality now, so imagine next year when she's got all the experience of doing stuff with the WDF," Sherrock said.

"She's already world champion, so imagine how many other people she's going to be able to push. It'll be exciting to see where Beau finishes in the series next year.

"I think it's going to make us play better as well. All of these young people pushing is going to make us play better because we know we're going to have to up our game. I cannot wait to see what is pushed against me now."
