It turns out Fallon Sherrock isn’t just making headlines on the oche—her secret weapon might be in her living room. Or more specifically, practicing next to her with a dart in hand. Partner and fellow darts pro Cameron Menzies has let a few juicy details slip about what goes on when the two are away from the bright lights and blaring walk-on music.
According to Menzies, their training sessions are far from conventional. “It’s not just about throwing for hours,” he said in a recent interview. “We challenge each other. We bet dinner on finishes. We race each other in 3-dart shootouts. It keeps it fun—but intense.”
Fun, competitive, and surprisingly effective. Sherrock, often called “The Queen of the Palace,” has become a global sensation in darts. And while she’s known for her ice-cool composure in matchplay, her fiery home training sessions with Menzies seem to fuel that calm under pressure. “Sometimes she beats me blind,” Menzies laughed. “And I’ve been playing longer!”
But it’s not all rivalry. The two also support each other mentally—a crucial edge in a sport as psychological as darts. “When one of us is in a slump, the other knows just how to snap them out of it,” Sherrock admitted in a brief statement. “It’s not just physical practice—it’s mindset work too.”
As Sherrock gears up for her next Women’s Series and possibly more mixed competitions, insiders say her focus and form are razor-sharp—perhaps sharper than they’ve ever been. And some of that edge, fans are now learning, might just come from practicing next to someone who knows both her strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else.
For fans across the U.S. and Europe, this peek behind the curtain is a treat. It humanizes two of the sport’s most interesting personalities—and just might explain why Sherrock continues to defy expectations.
So next time you see Fallon Sherrock confidently drilling a 140 under pressure, remember—she might’ve had to win dinner off Cameron Menzies the night before to earn it.
