In a sport where perfection is rare and pressure is constant, a nine-dart finish is considered the holy grail. Now imagine doing it live, under the bright lights of a televised tournament, while also making history as the first woman ever to pull it off. That’s exactly what Fallon Sherrock did—and in true Queen of the Palace style, she made it look effortless.
In August 2023, Fallon stunned the darts world once again by firing off a perfect leg—nine flawless darts that turned the scoreboard into her personal playground. This wasn’t just a win. This was a mic-drop moment. A shut-the-door-on-any-doubters type of achievement. One leg. Nine darts. Zero mistakes. And with it, she etched her name into the annals of darts immortality.
For context: a nine-dart finish is the fewest number of darts needed to check out from 501. Only a handful of male players have ever done it on TV. Phil Taylor? Yup. Michael van Gerwen? Sure. But Fallon Sherrock? She just added a much-needed splash of pink to that elite club—and made it global news in the process.
But it wasn’t just about the record. It was about the statement. Women can’t hang in professional darts? Fallon didn’t just disprove that—she embarrassed the narrative. She didn’t just beat the boys, she outclassed them, playing with elegance, swagger, and her signature calm under fire.
The crowd knew what was happening after dart six. By dart nine? Pandemonium. Commentators were shouting. Fans were screaming. Twitter was trending. Fallon had done the unthinkable, again.
And the best part? She was as cool as ever. No over-the-top celebration. No wild antics. Just a small smile, a nod to the crowd, and that unmistakable air of “I told you so.”
The nine-darter wasn’t just a feat of skill—it was a landmark moment in sports history. It showed little girls watching at home that perfection wasn’t just a male thing. It was a player thing. And Fallon Sherrock? She’s one of the best to ever do it.
