Sherrock replaces banned Dobromyslova at Lakeside WDF World Championship
WDF
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the WDF has decided to ban all Russian darts players from their tournaments, meaning Anastasia Dobromyslova, Elena Shulgina, Aleksey Kadochnikov and Roman Obukhov will not be able to compete at Lakeside in April.
Fallon Sherrock and Jo Clements have been called up as replacements for Dobromyslova and Shulgina. The two English pair were the two highest ranked players in the WDF Ranking who were not part of the original field. When the event was still scheduled in January, Sherrock declined to take part. Now the tournament at Lakeside has been postponed to April 2-10 due to the coronapandemic, the Queen of the Palace will be competing.
The Russian men Kadochnikov and Obukhov have been replaced by John Scott and Landon Gardiner.
Tickets for the Lakeside WDF World Championship are on sale here.
Sherrock and Clements were the next two in the rankings, so I'm not sure what your point is.
She opted to play Q school. Can't blame her for that. Besides the comp was cancelled in jan due to low ticket sales. She will ensure a lot more tickets are sold this time so in fact it can be said that she is saving the comp by entering.
But you can't really say the places should have gone to the next in the rankings and then complain that the places went to the next in the rankings.

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025
