Let's delve deeper into her career and achievements.
A Charming Hairdresser and a Thrilling Darter
When Sherrock isn't dazzling audiences at dart tournaments, she programs hair back at her salon. Balancing her demanding career as a professional darter with her job as a hairdresser, Sherrock is a prime example of dedication and hard work. She shares her life with her busy twin sister, Felicia Blay Sherrock, and her adorable son, Rory.

The Next Trina Gulliver or a Talent in Her Own Right?
Rising to fame in the world of darts, Sherrock was hailed as the potential successor to women's darts legend Trina Gulliver, who reigned supreme at the World Championship for many years. Sherrock herself showed promise early on and fulfilled that potential by becoming the WDF Girls World Cup champion at the tender age of only 17.
She successfully competed in the BDO Women's World Darts Championships until 2019, continually proving her worth in the male-dominated world of darts. Then, Sherrock made history by becoming the first woman to defeat a male opponent in a world championship at the PDC World Darts Championship. In 2020, she beat Ted Evetts 3:2 in the first round and even took out Austrian Mensur Suljović in the second round before succumbing to Chris Dobey in the third round with a score of 4:2.
Making Her Mark on Darts History
Fallon Sherrock's rise to fame in the darts community continued in 2021, when she reached the final of the Nordic Darts Masters, battling against darts icon Michael van Gerwen. Although she ultimately fell short of victory, her performance marked an impressive milestone in her career.
She filled her trophy cabinet in 2022 by winning the Women's World Matchplay, cementing her place as a pioneering figure in women's darts. Her impressive achievements stretch across various darts events, including the Women's Series and the MODUS Super Series, which features top international players, like Martin Adams and Robert Thornton.
In addition to her in-game accomplishments, Sherrock has a strong TV following, having claimed three TV titles and boasting a highest TV average of 101.55 at the popular Grand Slam of Darts in 2021.
