Fallon Sherrock produced a 6-6 draw with Glen Durrant as she played as a contender in Nottingham in last year's Premier League Darts before the eventual Coronavirus lockdown in one of the final semblances of normality at a darts tournament.

That normality has returned of sorts this week with 1,000 fans per session in the Marshall Arena in Sherrock's home of Milton Keynes and 'The Queen of the Palace' was in attendance to watch the action as a fan this time around.
But her experience in facing the eventual champion is one she looks back at with great fondness a year on.
"That was a great memory for me, obviously drawing 6-6 with Glen who eventually become winner of it all. I look back at that like no Fallon you did really well there and it's such an experience that I can't put into words. I'm just so grateful I got to do it," said Sherrock on Sky Sports.
"I am really looking forward to watching it again back in the crowd and getting the environment back."
On her breakout moment at the Alexandra Palace, the 26-year-old said it has even been used as a coping mechanism during lockdown to motivate herself to produce that again.
"I do watch it back quite often because sometimes when I feel quite low, I just watch back and think this is where I want to be and this is what I want to do. It's all great memories."
