Sherrock seals spot in 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship with extra place for Women’s World Matchplay winner

Despite not finishing in the top two of the PDC Women’s Series, Fallon Sherrock will play in the PDC World Darts Championship after all with one of the TBC qualifier spots being confirmed as the Women’s World Matchplay winner going forward.
Sherrock won the tournament back in July with only a Grand Slam of Darts spot on offer at the time but now it will hold double the prestige and reward with three players now making it through the Women’s Series system.
This year saw Beau Greaves snatch the final spot winning the final eight tournaments with Sherrock missing out in dramatic circumstances but she will now join her and Lisa Ashton at the Ally Pally where her main success came in 2020.
"That was a wonderful day for me and I'm proud to have won, and it's great that I will now get to go back to Ally Pally,” said Sherrock.
"The PDC have done amazing things for women's darts in recent years and that's given us players a platform to play at the highest level."
Also announced as part of the 24 tournaments on the PDC Women's Series in 2023, each tournament will have £10,000 in prize money on offer, double that of 2022. For the winner of each Women's Series tournament there will then be a cheque for £2,000, possibly as the winners on the Challenge and Development Tour.

- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
