Sherrock sets sights on Women's World Matchplay: "I can guarantee that I'm not going to go down without a fight"
PDC
After taking the inaugural Women's World Matchplay title last year, Fallon Sherrock is keen to ensure a return to the Winter Gardens and retaining her title.
"I've definitely got a target on my back. No matter how well I play I end up getting everyone's best game against me at the moment," she tells Online Darts. "As long as stay in those rankings I'll be happy and I should stay in there."
The 28-year-old Englishwoman won the inaugural Women's World Matchplay last year, beating Aileen de Graaf in the final 6-3. "I can guarantee that I'm not going to go down without a fight. I'm going to put as much practice in as possible," she concludes.
Fallon Sherrock has been a pioneer for ladies darts. Her record playing against men on the big stage is evidence of that. Winning the first ladies World Match play championship and more recently the first 9 darter in the ladies game. Beau Greaves has been very dominant in the ladies dart world off late BUT she has yet to match the same results as Fallon when playing the men. Players have their ups and downs. Just ask Peter Wright. Fallon is good for the sport and brings a touch of grace and class. Hopefully she can find her most positive groove in the months ahead.
Fallon, you're half the player Beau Greaves is. If you get to the final, it will be an achievement, but you don't beat Beau.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
